[dev1008] About Jumping

[Kouper]

Yes because this game possesses so much character and atmosphere. What with the silent cities the lack of a reason to ever group up a weak and short story and very little lore. Jumping will be what ruins the game.

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

+1 Million and agreed!

I'd have to agree with this. I really see no important use in a "jump" command. Imagine seeing a fat man trying to swim, it looks ugly and out of place.

Well considering there's no fat characters, how would any feature be out of place in a FANTASY game? Again, care to go more in depth? What kind of atmosphere do you consider the game to have? Seems like people just don't want the feature since either, it wasn't in FFXI, which my response would be FFXIV=/=FFXI OR WoW has it and people will jump everywhere, again, I thought the FF MMO crowd tout how much mature they are compared to that.

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.

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.

[Gath]

Jumping is retarded, they shouldn't let Galkas jump...EVER, unless we want the raptors to go extinct.

[TonyMontana]

I would like jump.
