[dev1008] About Jumping

no thank you to jump

[Krausus]

Ok so didn't read this thread because of how long it is so sorry if this was already mentioned. But how about to use jump it consumes your whole stamina bar, and you also need to have a full stamina bar to use it. Or put a cool down timer on it. This would allow for free jump without the annoying bunny hoppers.

I would LOVE jump, it would make it easier to get down cliffs that is 1 feet down instead of walking for 25 min to get down. And gives you something to do when you're bored, how many jumps can you do in an hour!!!

[Zenaku]

Am not for jump but i can't say no just because i dislike it others players would like to jump.

Menu jump would be the best

Menu--> Jump --> You see yourself jumping---> time limit-->wait---> jump.

This could also work with ledge your menu display jump you jump over the ledge.

will lalafell be able to jump as high as elfs? O_O

No...Lalafells will be able to jump higher. Small people should always be able to run faster, jump higher, etc... it makes no sense whatsoever, hence the most logical choice.

I'm all for the FFXIII style of auto-jumping at small ledges or whatnot. Having to run for 15 min. to get to an area 1 feet below me is just silly.

I remember when I first found out that jumping would not be in XIV. I was upset, and convinced it was a deal breaker for me. After all, once you spend 6 years bunny hopping around in wow, you kinda get used to it.

Then I played the game. At first, I still had the nice rose colored glasses that most of us have when playing a new MMO for the first time. And at the time I could care less about jumping.

After the newness wore off lag, instability, lack of content and zone originality got to me.. (ie why are marmots outside every city instead of mobs more appropriate for the geography? Do dodos really belong in a desert?). Even though I had convinced myself I was done with quest grinders, I found myself longing for an NPC with some indication that they had something for me to do. And at the time I could care less about jumping.

Now here we are, almost 6 months after release, I'm happier with the stability, lag is better, Sidequest system implemented.. And I could still care less about jumping.

I couldn't jump in XI and never needed to. I see no need to in XIV. I think there are far more important things that this game needs implemented to justify spending any resources on a jump ability.

Wow, people are really going nuts over such a small innocent improvement such as jumping.

+1 for me, I am all for adding a jump!

What is the big deal anyway? You don't want to see people jump around? seriously, you need to get over it! You know what's not realistic and really breaks immersion? The fact that everyone in the game is always running everywhere. How about you start to walk everywhere. I mean you wouldn't run everywhere in real life would you? Run to the shop... Run back to the gate, run to the camp, run to the mobs, run to gather run here run there run run.....

A Jump feature like FF13 is not going to happen people - sorry. I certainly hope the DEV team does not have soooo much free time on their hands to walk about the whole land of Eorzea to test and see where it is appropriate to implement an option to pop up for you to have the choice to go over a cliff. Instead of you taking that extra 15 seconds to go around it. They would have to work at this for a long time! I hope they have better things to do.

It's easier, more practical and modern to just let the characters be able to jump. It will most likely happen and then it wont be a big deal. I doubt anyone will quit the game over it and if there is some that do, it will be a very small loss in this case.

@ PLAT

watch any WoW movie involing onyxia..... kil'jaeden....

ya......... soon ppl will be complaining about ppl failing to jump.

"watch the tail!" "more dots more dots... ok stop dots"

Couldn't resist sorry XD

I wouldn't mind a jump or even a double jump Like in perfect would international. I actually don't see many hopers there. Or in wow for that fact. One of my fav things to do in games with jumping, is free running. Or the ability to run any where like across rooftops. This also add to the role play. Like being a thief and running on roof tops to get away.

[Talwin]

Not one FF title has ever had a jump feature, unless you count Dragoon's "Jump" ability.
Why ruin that trend now?

It is unneeded and unnecessary.
