[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rowyne]

I still remember being offended at some of his twitter posts when people got mad about the surplus system. The fact he ardently defended it, and bashed westerns for being offended by it was proof enough he wouldn't listen to players. It was a bad idea from the start. But he thought it was amazing, and that created a lot of the problems.

I had more of a problem with how he used the word foreigners like a derogatory term, and blamed us for misinterpreting Japanese news regarding Surplus when we were left with nothing else to do because of lack of communication and transparency.

Tanaka lost my respect with the Twitter incident.

I'm so glad Yoshi-P realizes what a critical mistake lack of communication is. Yay, Yoshi-P <3

I'm not a big fan of free jumping, since it will pretty much ruin the atmosphere for me. People get bored quickly when walking from A to B. And to pass their time, I can already see the mighty Roegady and proud Elezen to jump around like madmen on their way to the next camp. However, that was probably said a hundred times before and there will be at least a hundred answers about how much of a lame and old-fashioned person I am, so off to something else:

If jumping is implemented and can be executed at any time, it should get some kind of downside. For example the jump animation could have less forward movement than running and thus slow players down. Or movement could simply be suspended for a short while after a jump. (Or each jump costs 25% HP! Haha!)

seriously something as simple as this would solve the "jumping around like idiots problem" easily.
