[dev1008] About Jumping

you cant jump in real life,

......what?

[wingiehai]

Firstly, the people who are screaming no to jumping, stop please, simple adding of in-game friction and it solves the problem of bunny hoping. You want this game to be popular ? Well then you have to accept somethings you one track minded people might not like. FFXIV is lacking in so many areas take everything you can get. I want to see a jump in this game.

Sure it's irritating sometimes getting stuck on a rock, but lets not throw realistic design completely out of the window; you cant jump in real life, its unlikely a character in this game would rather huff it up a dangerous-footing of rocks than just go 2 feet to the left and walk/run up a gentle slope.

......what?

Sad that even reading skills have deteriorated to a point where people don't understand complex sentences anymore. In LittleLaLa's post there is a semicolon. I give you the decrypted version.

There, mystery solved and Kudos to LittleLaLa for what i think was an intentional troll attempt for the illiterate masses.

Doubleplusgood!

You, sir, need to research proper usage of semicolons. It is a complex list separator or a period replacement; it is not a continuing-previous-clause indicator.

LittleLaLa's punctuation did, in fact, mean "You cant jump in real life".

Hate to hit you with the grammar book but here we go:

1. Between items in a series or listing containing internal punctuation, especially parenthetic commas, where the semicolons function as serial commas.

2. Between closely related independent clauses not conjoined with a coordinating conjunction.

3. Between independent clauses and semi clauses linked with a transitional phrase or a conjunctive adverb

Please no jumping >.> I can only imagine the amount of extra lag it will genorate as everyone spams it hopping around ever zone, even something like FFXIII I feel would degrade the whole Final Fantsy Online experience. Sure it's irritating sometimes getting stuck on a rock, but lets not throw realistic design completely out of the window; you cant jump in real life, its unlikely a character in this game would rather huff it up a dangerous-footing of rocks than just go 2 feet to the left and walk/run up a gentle slope. Adding a jump in any way other than for lancer as an offensive action would be taking the wrong direction, lets keep our feet on the ground ^^

...wait what? lol

I can't believe you people expect so much realism in a game. A game where we have cat people and a race of midgets running around that supposedly have diffused into clans and have evolved certain characteristics that match their surroundings... in a span of time where they are able to remember their migration into Africa (looking at you Dunesfolk and Highlanders).

you cant jump in real life

Lol... Seriously? That's your arguement? Don't implement an extra movement in game because 'I CAN'T JUMP IN REAL LIFE'!

You should really look into the reasons of why you can't jump. . .

xD

you cant jump in real life

You can't? Are you in a wheelchair? Do you wear concrete shoes?

I feel sorry if you've never experienced a jump rope, or hopscotch, or Michael Jordan.

These 'you can't jump IRL' comments make no sense. I'm a 35 year old woman who's out of shape, and I can jump. I'm sure my young adventurer who's fighting evil out in the world can jump, as well.

you cant jump in real life

The best counter argument against jumping I've seen so far.

[Shazaam]

Really, I don't care. If adding a jump brings in thousands of players to keep the game alive, then do it.

It isn't necessary, but it doesn't ruin the game.

A small gesture in gameplay to boost sales? It's a no brainer.

Would I prefer no jump? yeah... but I don't care enough to stake a larger playerbase on it.
