[dev1008] About Jumping

[funkydue]

Not going to read a whole 49 page thread, only read the last few pages so forgive me if this has been suggested. Allow it and make it cost a fair amount of stamina, say half a bar? Easy enough right? This prevents people from spamming it and allows for greater freedom of movement.

If jumping has, has, to be implemented (I do not believe it does) then make it part of the stamina bar. That will prevent the Tigger hopping. I think the terrain can be fixed to circumvent the need for jumping. The rumor mill is a-buzz with a rebuild of The Black Shroud. Why shouldn't we believe that they will correct the terrain issues at the same time?

I've said it before and so have others...If they give us a jump and you want to use it, then use it. If you don't wanna use it, then don't friggin use it! I really wanna see jump implemented, just so I can see everyone that says it's stupid use it. You know you will.../points finger

Its as simple as that.
Give us jump so the people that want it can enjoy it, and if it doesnt get implemented? I'll just deal with it instead of crying about it , its not a big deal like alot of you are making it out to be...

If you want to prevent bunny hopping, the jumping could be done the way it is in Monster Hunter. Run off a ledge, and you jump off it. Run up to a ledge, and you jump up and climb up it. It's simple and easy and you don't even have to think about it, and makes it feel much more natural.
As long as there's no "jump points" you have to go up to and use, then I'm fine with it.

I can already see a nightmare occurring with this. Stamina use requires weapon to be out so this is what that scenario would pan out like:

Running through La Noscea
Attempt to jump down some small ledge
ACTIVE MODE

I honestly wish it were that simple. Then we could get over something as trivial as "jump" and move on to more pressing matters.

No tanaka impediment was FFXI.Not whatever he listened to his player base or not.
FFXIV tryed to be completly diferent from ffxi to gain a diferent type of gamers.
It failed completly.becouse they got greedy and refused to make ffxi-2
It has nothin to do with the comunity at all.If you think this is the case ffxi says hi.
And i can ensure you they never listened to the players in ffxi,,,, EVER.

FFXI players are already giving square their money every month, it does not generate new revenue to have the same people pay you for a different game.

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.


How to solve people getting up on things you dont want them to: The same way you do now, invisible walls.

Also, doubt it'll happen, but would be nice if we could just have a poll so people could see the #'s themselves as to who is for/against. Usually people are more visual creatures :P, seeing shiny numbers rather then big blocks of text usually do more for the masses.
If any dev's that are currently working on the Beta forums reads this, possibly giving players the chance to use/create polls when this actually goes live might be beneficial.

One simple rule: If jumping doesnt allow you to go places you cant go without jumping, dont bother implementing it. It gonna be even more frustrating not being able to jump down a 1ft tall ledge because you couldnt walk down of it before.


Its just gonna be obnoxious if your constantly stopped by invisible walls all over the place.
