[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rawry]

I respect your opinion and to each their own, but unrestricted jumping is considered, by many, to detract from the atmosphere of the game. Primarily because random kiddies need their ADD fix by jumping everywhere like the Frog Suit in SMB3.

That's my interpretation of what has been said about 14 and jumping, anyways.

The ONLY way I would be okay with manual/free jumping is by attaching the feature to the stamina bar. Make jumps use half of the bar (2 jumps in succession), requiring cooldown.

Erm of all the games ive played that allowed you to "free jump" ive never seen people jump remotely as much as you ppl imply they will. People spam emotes/dancing. Hows that any different? Im sorry dude.. but thats.. a whack reason. lol

to say that the jumpspam apocalypse is going to happen the second it goes live is actually rather insulting to the playerbase.


Edit: Also namecalling,namecalling everywhere.

Just about everyone I talk to on Selbina shares the same fear of jump-spam. I guess one could blame WoW's chronic misuse of the feature as the base of this fear. And from the maturity level I've observed on these forums, I don't think I can trust the players to not do the same. And knowing that alot of these people have a background in FFXI brings me some amount of shame. Just my two cents.

All in all, I'm not trolling or anything, just wishing to avoid a possible atmosphere-detracting annoyance. Simple pre-emption. I have faith in the devs to consider all pros/cons and choose what will suit the game the best.

I've been playing wow for 5+ years and have never seen anyone "spam jump" Ive definitely NEVER seen a group of ppl just standing there hitting the space bar repeatedly. lol.. im sorry.. but that's just silly.

Funny. I made an account with that free month subscription and seen about 4 people jumping in my first 10 minutes.....Now let's scoot down two weeks where I'm no longer just joining other new people.....Holy hell! Still people jumping while waiting and running around between quests.

(Look! A transition!)

Issachar has a perfectly good reason to worry. People get bored. You said so yourself, Rawry, that you see a lot of /emote strolling around through the chat logs. If people are so bored that they'll slap up /emote then what makes you think they wouldn't do the same with jump? Please in your next post though, try and refrain from pulling away from the subject by interjecting scornful remarks to make yourself seem more elaborate.

Mkay.. so here we go again. You take what I say and spin it like the desperate gnat you are. Did I say people don't jump? No sir.. I said people don't Spam jump....as in stand there and jump up and down for hours or even minutes on end. Id much rather people "jump spam" then clog up my chat window with emotes and bullshit. the fact that you're trying to make it something its not is laughable. Do you even know what your point is? or are ya just here to cry?

If that is your worry, then I recommend that you make use of the Emote filter option. Anyways, trying to debate with you is akin to striking up a conversation with a wet cardboard box. Anything I say is met with dampered, predictable responses.

Wow. You know you're rather pathetic right now. How the hell did I spin it, moron? We're not talking about people spamming jump, idiot. We're talking about people jumping out of boredom and how seeing it makes it rather annoying. Now before you try and go off on this post, do me a favor and stop thinking of yourself for a minute. Here's a suggestion when it comes to your /emote problem. There are chat logs you can filter out that doesn't show them. I guess if you didn't complain about it as much you would notice.

Can you tell me how I can filter out seeing people jumping while I'm running to town? You know simply I don't give a hoot about implementing jump. Frankly if you'd pay close enough attention, numbnuts, you'll notice that the only thing I have against jump is the simple lack of depth it has in adding more exploration to the game. It can be used to scale small hills, yes, and jump small gaps. Anything else? No.

Now are you still going to post about how it should be implemented with some logical points of view? Or are you going to contradict yourself by doing exactly what you're saying I'm doing?

It being silly, in itself, is an opinion. I've witnessed plenty of it myself across numerous servers and, while I don't play anymore, I can safely say that claiming it doesn't happen is nothing short of fallacy. Not that EVERYONE does it, but even a few people here and there is still annoying and detracting.

As far as emote spamming goes: yeah, it happens. Happened in XI too. But it doesn't involve people playing hopscotch down to Camp Tranquil. Nothing as intrusive as that.

Mkay so.. 3 ppl jumping while walking is spam jumping? Cool. The way you people are talking, you're making it seem like 500 ppl just stand there and randomly jump which is crap.
