[dev1008] About Jumping

[Issachar]

This Kimahri guy is entertaining. In a dog-that-keeps-running-into-the-glass-door kinda way.

But in all seriousness, just make a scripted hop, leap, or jump at designated locations, such as a small flaw/crack in the ground (like Mor Dhona). Manual jumping is lame, and so is fence-hopping. I liked FF13's jump mechanic, except that the jumps were huge. Tone those down and it works out.

Well I guess you're welcome for the entertainment. I see you basically agree with the same system to be implemented such as I do. Isn't it rather funny that when I was being nice and conservative nobody really cared what others wanted, only themselves, but now that I'm being an ass to certain others, we're finally cutting to the chase? Wow!

Unfortunately I disagree. Id like to be able to chose where I can jump, not run around to random places wondering if maybe this is a place where I'm able to. Im no Dev.. but to me it would seem like more work to program in this collision bull shit then it would to just allow me to jump where ever the hell I want.

Please someone, tell me im wrong with out providing an explanation or proof. /Looks at Kimahri.

I respect your opinion and to each their own, but unrestricted jumping is considered, by many, to detract from the atmosphere of the game. Primarily because random kiddies need their ADD fix by jumping everywhere like the Frog Suit in SMB3.

That's my interpretation of what has been said about 14 and jumping, anyways.

The ONLY way I would be okay with manual/free jumping is by attaching the feature to the stamina bar. Make jumps use half of the bar (2 jumps in succession), requiring cooldown.

Erm of all the games ive played that allowed you to "free jump" ive never seen people jump remotely as much as you ppl imply they will. People spam emotes/dancing. Hows that any different? Im sorry dude.. but thats.. a whack reason. lol

[Nephera]

to say that the jumpspam apocalypse is going to happen the second it goes live is actually rather insulting to the playerbase.


Edit: Also namecalling,namecalling everywhere.

Awww! You poor Powerpuff! I'm not going to tell you you're wrong. Lord knows you're only an inch away from dreadful thoughts. And you're so welcome for helping your state of confusion as to what a Map Collision was. Lord knows I'm here to educate the uneducated. Although I'm rather shocked at your post above. Seems to me you're acting like a girl with her panties in a bunch because I basically called you a moron. Don't worry though. It's not hard to laugh off pety insults...Especially when they come from someone as ignorant as yourself. Hahaha!

If you think I'm a moron because I'm not a video game developer that's cool. I could always educate my self if I cared enough. Thing is.. no matter what you do.. you'll always be a bitter internet nerd rager.

This has nothing to do with you "Basically calling me a moron" and everything to do with you being a bitchy punk. Some people don't agree with you. get over it. /pats your head.
