[dev1008] About Jumping

[JakeRoon]

but also freedom from the FFXI-bred behavior that leads players to want to control what others do, as is examplified by the many topics in this forums: "I don't want jump because everyone else will be jumping around, even if I won't", "I don't want pvp in the game, even if I can choose not to participate", "I want everyone to adjust to a system that clearly isn't working, not even for the devs", "Hey devs, don't listen to the requests", etc...

Preach on brother, preach on,

Set MY DoDO's free from the tyranny of FFxi!!!!!!

Regarding jumping in the way he describes it being implemented I agree with. I think it should be used to get over very small ledges and as an expression is a good idea. It would would be very useful in terms of collision detection the most and I am very much for that.

Considering yoshi-p's comment, separating jumping from collision detection issues, my position on this still stands firm. If jumping is not tied (or plans to be) to a game mechanic either for combat or locations designed to take advantage of that, it is not worth implementing. It must have a purpose more than just looking pretty and ultimately obnoxious.

This is in no way a pressing matter and spending time on it will only bring more maintenance and bugs to fix later on. Time that should be spent on content and battle system adjustment.

I am not in favor of jumping, but not completely against it. If jumping is ever implemeted, it should be restricted in a way that it does not replace standard straightforward running.

Sad that even reading skills have deteriorated to a point where people don't understand complex sentences anymore. In LittleLaLa's post there is a semicolon. I give you the decrypted version.



There, mystery solved and Kudos to LittleLaLa for what i think was an intentional troll attempt for the illiterate masses.

Doubleplusgood!

You, sir, need to research proper usage of semicolons. It is a complex list separator or a period replacement; it is not a continuing-previous-clause indicator.

LittleLaLa's punctuation did, in fact, mean "You cant jump in real life".

Sounds like an idea...Then we can concentrate on more important matters than something as trivial as jumping..

I just want to add my opinion that I like the idea of adding jump into the game.

I would like to be able to jump over the ledge from the 2nd floor and land onto the first floor.

It helps add realism, not the fact that you can land on ur feet and not break them, but, not being constricted to your feet and the ground, so you have to walk way around and down stairs and so on to get somewhere. I guess it would add more freedom would be the best way to put it. And dont we all want that in our MMO experience?

[Skeeter]

I really don't think letting people jump is going to hurt the atmosphere of the game. If it is properly implemented, it could only help I think. Having people bunny hop around like retarded kids would suck, but you should be able to jump over small ledges and fall down cliffs(fall damage and death if too high). Having to walk all the way around stuff can get annoying. I know it doesn't seem like such a big issue but all the little things do add up. Maybe they can tie it in with some kind of fatigue system so people are not running around hopping like rabbits.

Just thought I'd point out that 56 pages of people giving opinions, defending there own opinions, disregarding other opinions and listing the same crap over and over again is not going to get us anywhere. We will never come to an agreement on this subject, so what say we just leave this one up to the devs?
