[dev1008] About Jumping

[Rockne]

I want real jumping.

WoW Jumping.

Don't give me the "This isn't Warcraft" bullshit. If we take that kind of mentality, then we shouldn't be running because WoW players run. Same goes for walking. Therefore, we must develop some other mode of transportation. If you're actually agreeing with me:

Jetpacks. Give everyone Jetpacks.

Anyway, it's a standard feature, and think about it, it doesn't kill the immursion or whatever you kids call orgasming this days, but it lets you know more about your fellow player. This one walks to place to place, and that one is a rabbit.

I jump to my damned classes all the time. This has nothing to do with me wearing a Mario Hat IRL.

So let those who want to jump Jump. The rest who are anti-jump; just pretend the button doesn't exist.

FFXIV isn't designed for "free" jumping, if you've fallen out of the map before it becomes painfully obvious.

I've fallen off the world. That counts right?

But in that case, they can always delete their character if they're too stubborn to hit that jump button if they somehow fell in a ditch.

Odd, I didn't know you had your hands in how FFXIV was designed maybe that's where all the problems are coming from. I have fallen through the world before, I have fallen through the world in games with jump, not seeing the correlation.

The correlation isn't merely falling through the world, it's the effects of what happens during it -- games with jump mechanics have a far looser "snapping" mechanic while those without the mechanic have a much more restricted snapback effect.

I see, but I have faith that if SE did implement such a feature they would code accordingly for it, and provide a feature to get out of getting stuck in the game world.

The code for getting unstuck is called "you better have Anima son"

The point was in the post you just quoted:

There's a different snapping mechanic in play with games with a free jump mechanic, which is present in even offline games like Ys Oath in Felghana, Mario etc but not games where jumping is absent or automated. That's why he said if a jump mechanic were to be added it would with map design/collision changes in parallel.

Mkay so.. what you're trying to say is: you think you know how the game is designed.. and as far as you're concerned FFXIV isnt designed to allow free jumping? If thats the case.. I would just like to remind everyone that SE asked everyone if they would mind if SE totally redesigned the game and the majority of the people said.. no.

So again.. I fail to see your point.
