[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rawry]

The correlation isn't merely falling through the world, it's the effects of what happens during it -- games with jump mechanics have a far looser "snapping" mechanic while those without the mechanic have a much more restricted snapback effect.

=/ Ive fallen threw the world in many games. Wow included..

i fail to see your point.

When it comes down to the wire, you cannot say it breaks immersion for anyone other than yourself, that is purely a matter of opinion.

I wholeheartedly agree with this statement.

The immersion doesn't die with me.

Jetpacks. Give everyone Jetpacks.

Anyway, it's a standard feature, and think about it, it doesn't kill the immursion or whatever you kids call orgasming this days, but it lets you know more about your fellow player. This one walks to place to place, and that one is a rabbit.

I jump to my damned classes all the time. This has nothing to do with me wearing a Mario Hat IRL.

So let those who want to jump Jump. The rest who are anti-jump; just pretend the button doesn't exist.

I've never understood the issue of falling through the world, myself.

I'm no coder, not even kind of, but wouldn't something along the lines of...

"if Z-axis = < 0 then reset Z-axis to > 0" or even a Z, Y and X-axis reset to just a few seconds prior?

Or does the game lose track of where you are entirely when it happens?

unimportant at the moment. It is better to maximize the landscape, fighting, the auction house, review the animas system and implement the chocobo before think about secondary system

The problem with them REDESIGNING the terrain is that they could mess it up again and we would STILL be asking for jumps,though i admit if it was designed properly we wouldnt feel that we need it.

A 'step up' feature would work. But no thanks to ADHD kids jumping around everywhere 24/7/365/infinite. Please no.

people who walk in games, offend me. walking by me is the most intrusive thing you could do. I mean.. for real.. why can't people just stand there and be immobile. They need to remove mobility from the game.

Cause that's exactly what happens with jumping features.

So let me get this straight...

These ADHD kids are fine right now.

But if they can jump, and get over annoying and poorly constructed terrain, no longer being landlocked like Sherman Tanks... THEN they're bad.

Christ.

Just Christ.
