[dev1008] About Jumping

[SnowTiger]

I agree it's not needed, and that if it is included, it should be a "jump only in specific ways at specific places when prompted to" sort of a feature... Not an "everyone hop around like bunny rabbits!!!" sort of thing. Let the more cartoonish games handle the more cartoonish features.

A Dragoon like jump attack is more than welcome however. :P

And totally not cartoonish in any way.

Vote for Jump!

ps. the commuity here is such a big fail ...... no jump because you cant jump in real life......

[EliseDee]

I dont think its needed. unless it was done like FFXIII where it was for manuevering reasons not some lame attempt to not get targeted when its a game with tab targeting. Its point less when I can lock on target to you where or how you jump. So if its like FFXIII so I can jump down and up small cliffs then its a go.

[Ceons]

It doesn't have to be 'needed'. It will be a nice feature and I don't understand what's the big deal.

Why does everyone fight adding more features to the game? It is SE's game and if they like to add jump, they will.

Weather some people here like it or not, it will absolutely be a + by majority.

There's two sides to this:

1.) You can jump in WoW, and many people here have inexplicable hatred for WoW, and they are afraid that anything in WoW that shows up in FFXIV will be turning FFXIV into a "WoW Clone".

2.) In WoW, other than a few specific places, the jump feature has no purpose other than to allow its players to hop around like ninnies.

I'm of the mind that it would be nice to have a jump feature similar to--and it pains me to say this--FFX-2, where scalable walls and small gaps are context sensitive, and the option to jump is given only where it is needed.

If SE re-examines their maps and how they handle ground and barrier collision, a jump feature may not be necessary, but that would be a lot of work to do for something that can be easily solved by simply letting us jump over small obstacles.

This. Again. This.

wow get off this realism kick and this "unneded kick" don;t look at the NOW look at the future. Also as a former WoW player i RARELY SEEN PPL BUNNY HOP AND IT NEVER CAUSED ME LAG. I TRAVELD TO JUST ABOUT EVERY ZONE AND CAME ACROSS 5. PPL IN FFXI SPAM DANCE EMOTE MORE OFFTEN THEN A PLAYER SPAMS JUMPS IN WOW. ALSO FFXI DANCE EMOTE ARE A FORM OF JUMPING IN PLACE AND DO IT MORE TIMES PER EMOTE THEN A SPACE BAR JUMP DOES. Tyhey can add content FOR jumping, or were jumping is involed. WHICH IS NEEDED AS YOU GUYS SCREAM FOR MORE CONTENT. same goes for swimming.

HOW REALISTIC ARE 12 HOURS DAYS? HOW REALISTIC IS RUNNING EVERYWHERE? HOW REALISTIC IS OUR CHARACTER IN NOT AGING?

GAMES ARE NOT MEANT FOR REALISM. AND IT IS FAR FROM CARTOONISH TO JUMP.

friken haters for sake of hating are for more silly then an occsional spam jumpe. Also AUTO JUMP CAN AND WILL CAUSE TIME CONUMING JUMP LOOPS. MEANING PLATERS GET STUCK JUMPING BETWEEN 2 OR MORE AREAS.

[Marious]

Auto jumping small obstacles is a must, if they don't want to code in actual manual jump then they need to be able to allow the character to jump the stupid little fences that are about 6" tall that you get stuck on. Even for area's that would benefit from jumping make it Auto, this way we dont have the whole oh wait let me jump all the way to camp bloodshore cause I can.
