[dev1008] About Jumping

[Teknoman]

I vote that Jumping is the least of FFXIV problems right now, and I'm kinda upset @ all the pages of this thread.

It is, but the issue of jumping has always been a big deal as far back as WoW vanilla and FFXI.

I just don't want to stop moving forward when i run into a cliff that was slightly too high for me to just walk down. I don't need jump, I just want some of the effects it has on a character's <x.y.z> positions.

I vote for NO jumping, at least not like you can do in Wow or CoV. I look at it as a cartoony, and I think it fits in with the style of those MMOs, but I think it would be absolutely ridiculous in a FF game and ruin the game play. There is no reason for a dedicated jump feature. I do agree with those who have suggested allowing an ‘auto jump’ feature like in FFXIII or the Zelda games. But I think if you do that, can all races jump/scale the same height distance.

If SE does that i'll make a Lalafell male Character with a little mustach called Super Mario, just to mock off ppl

Lots of reading to do here but I have to say, now that Lalafells are the smallest thing in the game they should be able to jump. We need to keep them from having a complex.

But in all seriousness. If we are going to get jump, then how about swimming. Wading in water at least? But I digress...

I think jump would be fun, we don't NEED it no, it has no use but to entertain unless we get a feature that will let us jump over 3 inch ledges. I don't even know if jumping would allow us to do it. There would have to be a lot of physics to take into consideration to do it correctly.

1. Okay lets say they add jump, do you think it is possible for SE to add a way to be able to turn off the visual action of it if you didn't want to see it happening?

2. If the majority of the community is more conservative when it comes to jumping do you really think that it will be used to the point of abuse?

Edit:
3. I like the stamina idea, but then would that put you in active mode and then you would have to get in and out of active mode? Meh... maybe allow it to be in passive mode with stamina?

Want feedback? Okay...

1. Assuming jumping was used properly (to move from a lower-to-higher location, or over an obstacle) turning off the animations for this would look silly.

2. You could add in-game mechanics to avoid "jump spam," particularly if you limit the rate at which you can jump and if you make walking much faster than jumping.

3. Stamina exists even in passive mode even though you can't see the bar. I don't think that's the best idea all the same.

I can't believe this stuff. When you guys see track and field with long jumping and high jumping do you guys shudder and turn the tv off real fast then pretend you never saw it? Its just jumping.... its not like its going to cause you emotional distress. Grow up, guys.

You're exaggerating. The issue people are having isn't jumping in sports, it's jumping for no reason in everyday situations. People simply don't jump around while shopping for groceries, or talking to their peers. Emotional distress is a stretch, but it'd sure feel awkward.

Try telling my kid that.

There are ways to add jump to a game even manual jump but also restrict the retarded bunny hoping. Why not focus on giving everyone what they want instead of arguing over easily deterred scenarios?
