[dev1008] About Jumping

[Kimahri]

Why is this going to be the 300th post of something as trivial as jump? Is this seriously one of the more pressing matters we should be concerned with? This thread is a gimmick at best. There are far more concerns we're faced with at the moment than acting like a bunch of babies over a simple jump command. Drop it for now. Focus!

Jumping outside of a Dragoon type job I just don't feel would fit the game. I am open to the idea, but I could definitely live without it. I don't want to be having pvp matches or even exp parties where people are just leaping all over the place like ADD children who just snorted a pixie stick.

On the other hand, I may not mind it that much on some ledges and other obstacles that are roughly knee high and the laws of selective dexterity deny me access to an area walled off by the equivalent of a baby-gate.

I have a great idea. How about, if you dont want to jump then dont lol.

They should make it like a more open version of FFXIII jumping, so we can jump off those pesky little trenches and maybe even cliffs.

[Alexandrious]

We dont need space bar clowns. Just give players an animation or something to simply leap off a ledge when pressed against it, and to hoist or haul themselves up a ledge providing its not too high.

Let's just face it. If they really do implement the jump feature into this game, people are going to flock at finding advantages such as glitches or choke points to help them defeat a certain monster. Just like Absolute Virtue of FFXI CoP when they used the wall glitch to kill him.

I noticed this thread has over 8000 views. Obviously this topic has struck a nerve with some and raised high hopes for others, if you want jumping PLEASE go post under the thread "Jump,Yay!" stating that you want jumping. If you do not, please post on the thread "Jump,Nay!" that you do not want jumping. Please dont discuss why or why not on those threads, first lets figure out if jumping is or is not what the masses want, if they do want it then let the devs make a poll for the specifics as to how we would like the implementation of jump to function. Come on people! Lets settle this, im tired of what and why.

Many thanks, go vote!!!

No offense, but I don't understand how implementing a jump feature equals an exploit?

People keep talking like it's 10 years ago, and the idea of putting in a jump function is completely new and uncharted territory that could possibly have dire consequences. All other modern MMOs handle it just fine.

Jump isnt needed in FFXIV it would be pointless, the only way it would be worth while is if it was done Ala FFXIII where you can jump up and down cliffs.

If they implement a jump feature I will quit this game. The thought of my feet leaving the ground especially in a video game is just terrifying. I mean, you could totally jump away from a mob when its fighting you. I did that once and had to do my rosary 3 times just to be forgiven for my wrong doing. And I swear if I saw people spamming jump or even jump across my screen while I was playing I would put my head in my hands and cry. I hear people saying that modern MMOs have a free jump implemented and they are successful. Honestly, I think this is a lie brought on by trolls who want to give bad influence to this game because they don't want it to succeed. They say things like it gives immersion to open worlds by being able to explore and climb mountains and hills. But I say that is a lie, too. If you leave the path through the zones that SE made in this game you are just looking for trouble and I don't think any reasonable person, only trolls because they are bad, would want to explore the world beyond its path.
