[dev1008] About Jumping

If you can't jump you build the areas with characters being firmly planted on the ground in mind.

If they did this the thread wouldnt have skyrocketed to popularity.

People wouldn't want it if they weren't reaching places where they go "boy i sure wish i could jump over this piddly little incline."

As was stated before by myself and many others, there are better ways to fix that issue than jumping, mainly through improving collision detection and terrain hang-ups. That or SE can just make the piddly little inclines huge cliffs and that also solves the issue.

Also as an aside, people complained about being blocked by chest high walls in XI. The thing about those is that they were put there intentionally. If they had jumping in that game they'd just make the wall higher. It needs to be clear that there is a difference between "You aren't supposed to go there," and just the terrain being stupid.

"Better ways to fix that issue" in your opinion. Jumping is the perfect way to fix that issue to me. =)

Shooting yourself in the head is also the "perfect" way to get rid of a headache. <_<

Sorry lol I'm just being ridiculous now.

I still think it's important to say that some barriers are intended. For those that aren't it's much easier to just remove them than have people fidget with a way around them. I suppose though if you think a gameplay feature should be a debugging tool then I have no way of convincing you otherwise. D:

maybe they are intended.. but they don't need to be there. if you jump off something to high.. you die. end of. I just don't understand why you're cool with them.. letting you walk up hills, or slide down them.. but jumping up and down them is BAD!! lol..=/ jumping looks cooler..

Jumping, climbing, swimming; I would enjoy all these things in Eorzea.

Jumping will just make underage kids jump around all day, to me that'll get super annoying....

I disagree. Ive played wow and Aion and this rarely happened. People "abuse" emotes more then they "abuse" jumping. I love when people get annoyed when people use a feature in the game btw. If jumping upsets you, maybe you should seek a psychiatrist. =)

i guess you're kinda right. I played WoW with people. But XIV just doesn't seem right for it. With skills that take a while to use.... and invisible border blocks, jumping wouldn't get you anywhere. It would just be another "emote" kinda thing...
