[dev1008] About Jumping

[Dreamer]

These necro-posted threads are getting really annoying.

[Seif]

Free Realms allows jumping at any time. Are people over using it to break the immersion? NO!

How long are you going to "investigate" things? AH, jump, chocobos how can so simple things be so damn hard for a big company like SE to do?! It's getting pretty ridiculous.

You asked us to wait for big changes coming soon, but that was before last Christmas! We HAVE waited and what have we been given in return for sticking with this game? Quest system that is an insult to any player's intelligence and a bake-sale sign for mobs instead of proper enemy placement to really address the issue of why one shotting happens so often in the first place.

free...realms... *dies*

Well Runescape is the game to beat... and that doesn't have free jumping. So I think FFXIV should be okay.

We do NOT want jump. It will degrade the character and atmosphere of the game.

I sigh when I see stuff like this. Fair enough, I know some of you think all jumping does is allow jump spam as seen in WoW (even then, I don't understand why it bugs anyone). Do try to keep in mind that it might create some semblance of actual movement during NM fights and any future boss encounters. More mobility is not necessarily a bad thing and would be a nice addition, if properly implemented.

It doesn't directly hurt the gameplay DNO. It hurts the immersion for that player, which in turns hurts the gameplay.

no it doesn't. It hurts Trolls who bitch about quest markers then a week after the update realized it did not make a lick of difference to your fake "video game immersion". same shit is gonna happen here. if "jump" breaks immerison then 80% of video games do not have immersion.

You sound silly

What? Unless there is some sort of jump-attack thing why would you want to jump around a NM? The engine is already finicky as it is, jump can't be implemented in a sensible manner. What will stop anyone from just jumping instead of walking?

No way, this is the worst thing i can imagine implemented. Possibly one of the few game-breaking additions for me. The game simply wasn't built for that. Unless SE wants to heavily edit locations to have platforms and such and make jump actually integrated in the game, i am as strongly opposed to it as i could possibly be.

WHY!!!!
How can ANYBODY br opposed to jumping!!!!! IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. EXPLAIN PLEASE!!!!
ALl your character does is go up for a second then comes down.

benefits could be jump over things that are in your way, jumping off cliffs instead of being stuck runnig at nothin (cause a warrior with a huge axe that is buff as hell and in shape would get stuck at a hill!!!!????? this is immersion!!!????) and lots of things in expan packs like getting to a fight by jumping from rock to cliff to the next area.

Oopposition ... immersion...... it breaks the feel of the game. (a game that has names above everyones head, fire balls coming out of peoples hands, etc!!???)

Its a weak silly argument.

Or they could just fix collision detection and sorts to address those problems without adding jump.

they fixed that already by letting us walk through people. im talking about in Lisma when there is a cliff!!!! some cliffs you can drop down some you can not. If a jump button lets me drop without walking all the way around its a GOOD thing. that has nothing to do with collision detection.

Again answer the post buddy HOW IS JUMP BAD!!!

Yours also is a weak and silly argument.

Its weak because adding jump will NOT effect your gameplay but it WILL much it easier to get around to places. and YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE IT.

weak... silly...
