[dev1008] About Jumping

[Aldwin]

One thing I don't understand. Why are so many people against a free jump? You don't have to use it. If you don't want to jump unless you come to that one spot where you think a manual jump would help, then don't.

Use it when and where you want to. What exactly is so wrong with that?

I've already answered your question, it just wasn't what you wanted to hear. Limits. I don't want to run up to a ledge only wondering "hm, i wonder if the game will decide to let me jump off this one", or "I wonder if the game will decide to let me jump over this rock."

Maybe that's not a good enough answer for you.

No actually, you didn't. You're still dodging it because you can't think of a logical reason against them.

I asked you to specifically tell me why you would disagree with the specific three limitations I suggested. You have failed to do so.

I going to troll this quickly because obviously your out to prove your point against anyone else's opinion.

You haven't answered any of the questions I didn't ask because obviously you have no answer for them. Dodge my questions some more.

You should probably read the thread before acting like an idiot.

You said you would ONLY accept a free jump, nothing else. I stated an alternative that makes everyone happy and asked you why it wouldn't work. I gave 3 limitations and asked you if you had a problem with them and what that problem was. You've been dodging ever since.

Go troll somewhere else.

I never said your idea wouldn't work. I said, using the word my opinion, I wouldn't like it. You asked in a lot of words, why. I said to me its immersion breaking, again my opinion.

Obviously, you don't like it.

I don't see any problem on letting your caracter jump... or you guys don't like it because it's "WoWish"? Cmon, some of the FFXIV comunity are getting paranoid about this "WoWish" stuff. Just because they're considering a jump feature, it doesn't mean that it will be like WoW or another MMO that let you jump.

Ok now talking a little about the feature...
They could use something like FFX-2/FFXIII kind of jump, where you approach place and your character executes an automatic jump. This feature would help a lot with all those cliffs.
Also remove the devs could remove those invisible walls on some spots of the game, it's not a game breaker, but sometimes it gets really annoying.

i played wow and honestly i rarely seen ppl jump. get off that spam jumpper mith and how everyone in WoW does it. And how we only want jump to spam it.

Thats is not a good enough reason to not add jump

I have, for a total of about 3.5 years, and most of my characters are not of a race that includes the word "elf", but those that are JUMP WHEN THEY WALK. Bouncy bouncy flip. Bouncy bouncy spin. Bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy--is this thing broken?--bouncy bouncy bouncy flip! There we go! Bouncy bouncy ... You get the idea.

Now, I think I should point out that this is *when they walk*, which means (these days) before level 20, or when actively moving between quest mobs. So it's far from 100% of the time, and it isn't like you can glance around any major city and see sixteen people jumping in place, but jump spamming is NOT a myth.
