[dev1008] About Jumping

[Skyrant_Kangaroomouse]

I still want to see one reason why we need jump. Seriously jumping people, what do you think you gain from a jump feature?

1. Areas now unreachable will still be unreachable because they will make them too high to jump and or invisi-wall them because THEY DON'T WANT US TO GO THERE!
2. You will still not be able to jump a fence because if you could it serves no purpose. By definition a fence is something you should not be able to cross by a simple jump. If you could it would not be a bloody FENCE!
3. Small cliffs and rocks. If you can not walk 10 pixels around a rock or cliff thats blocking the way for a reason, may that be aestethic or gameplay related then you need to sit back, take a deep breath and think about how stupid complaint is.

Jumping is fine and dandy in FPS or platform and puzzle games. It serves no purpose in FFXIV and i dare you to name ONE MMO where jumping adds something truly unique gameplay wise to the game. (What i mean is something like Aion making flying a core mechanic)

PS: No, jumping across 5 maps in WoW does not count as a meanignfull addition.
