[dev1008] About Jumping

[Karbine]

Regarding jumping in the way he describes it being implemented I agree with. I think it should be used to get over very small ledges and as an expression is a good idea. It would would be very useful in terms of collision detection the most and I am very much for that.

[Maxwell]

Considering yoshi-p's comment, separating jumping from collision detection issues, my position on this still stands firm. If jumping is not tied (or plans to be) to a game mechanic either for combat or locations designed to take advantage of that, it is not worth implementing. It must have a purpose more than just looking pretty and ultimately obnoxious.

This is in no way a pressing matter and spending time on it will only bring more maintenance and bugs to fix later on. Time that should be spent on content and battle system adjustment.

I am not in favor of jumping, but not completely against it. If jumping is ever implemeted, it should be restricted in a way that it does not replace standard straightforward running.

Sounds like an idea...Then we can concentrate on more important matters than something as trivial as jumping..

I just want to add my opinion that I like the idea of adding jump into the game.

I would like to be able to jump over the ledge from the 2nd floor and land onto the first floor.

It helps add realism, not the fact that you can land on ur feet and not break them, but, not being constricted to your feet and the ground, so you have to walk way around and down stairs and so on to get somewhere. I guess it would add more freedom would be the best way to put it. And dont we all want that in our MMO experience?

I just HAD to bump this because it's awesome and I can't stand not seeing it on the top page. <3

Just thought I'd point out that 56 pages of people giving opinions, defending there own opinions, disregarding other opinions and listing the same crap over and over again is not going to get us anywhere. We will never come to an agreement on this subject, so what say we just leave this one up to the devs?

The thing is that this is an issue that many are passionate about, and our opinions may actually have a direct impact.

People will continue to be anxious about it until it makes its way into a player's poll and we definitively hear Yoshi-P's decision on how the dev team will proceed.

A players poll on this site would be incredibly bias toward FF purists.

A players poll on this site would be incredibly bias toward FF purists.

I don't mean on the forums, I mean another in the series of player's polls that's already been presented.

Though, I will agree, that part of the problem is that we also want to include and target many of the people who have stopped playing (after all, those that are still here have been through a lot and are committed to sticking it out). I'm not sure that all of them still follow the Lodestone and getting the word out to them to participate in the poll isn't easy. In fact, every time there's a poll, I have to badger my husband to go do it (he can't bring himself to log into the game with its current lack of content because it bores him to death).

Some people just don't care. They won't come back until they see results.

But I can say for myself, that while I am a FF fan, I am not a FF purist. And I'm not alone. So I have hope for the future.
