So about jump.

[Mjollnir]

Why do people care so much about jump? I don't get it. You requested it over and over and over and it's finally implemented and now you want some amazing Realistic Jump Simulation engine built just to cater for freakin' JUMP! Don't you think there are more pressing issues for the dev team to be working on or did you spend 1.0 living and breathing for a jump feature?

When did everybody suddenly become experts of jumping anyway? Jumping from running, your body looks like this when you jump, you can't jump over that, you shouldn't be able to jump that high, the tent should collapse when you jump on it (I mean really?), etc. Seriously, you're requesting a whole engine to be built around some gimmick feature.

Did you even read the OP? It's not a criticism about jumping being in-game, it's not a criticism about the animations used for jumping, it's not a criticism about how high people can jump. It was a criticism about being able to stand 100 people on the roof of a tent.

At no point did anyone (who wasn't using a flawed, negative hyperbole in an attempt to derail the thread) demand that S-E implement a real-physics solution to jumping on a cloth tent. The suggested solution was to implement an invisible wall which would suggest your character would use common sense inside the context of the game not to let you jump up there (in the same way you don't jump off cliffs). Personally, I have no problem if the structures being jumped on are made of a more solid material and people want to perch on them in their reindeer suits crafting all day.

I'm sure there are more pressing things for the dev team to worry about. And when they've resolved them, they might take a look at restricting characters abilities to walk on surfaces that can clearly not take their weight ("how much does a collection of vectors and textures weigh?!", I hear the trolls scream). After all, it's something they've clearly considered elsewhere in the game (eg ponds in Gridania).

Unless of course the feedback on that element of the game is buried underneath the flood of posts in this thread that are complaining about people who do not exist supposedly complaining about the jump function or its animations.

it amaze me how people want realism but when the "realism" get to hard for them they wine and complain then FF become easy like FF11 >.>

Of all the pointless crap to complain about, op complains about this.

im glad SE got all those Alpha tester to jump on the tent and everywhere. you should be glad also because when ARR get release alot of people going to jump like flea. The Twelve forbid the server crashes because SE fail to do jumping on tents or jumping everywhere..then guess what you'll complain saying...Why didnt SE address this in Alpha/Beta..no?

[urban]

i understand the OP point but if SE show a different video someone else gonna complain about that. my opinion is SE just going through all the bugs and we just happen to see it on LIVE streaming. no more 2 cent for im done.

The things people complain about

[Warlock]

In one point of the letter of the producer everyone hops on and starts jumping on top of a tent ...

Am I the only one who has an issue with this stuff?

I really hope they'll put an invisible wall of sorts on release.

I'm okay with jumping as long as they keep it realistic. To hop on top of a tent in one leap? For the tent to look like freaking plastic and hold there as if it was steady ground?

Hate it.



Update since people are missing the point of this thread:

Somebody with a brain, willing to put across a proper argument on these forums is a rare sight. Keep fighting the good fight, I gave up that fight long ago. Sadly, in this respect, the minority are the ones most often heard, I think many people just keep quiet due to the massive amount of stupidity that can reside around here. It's a shame really. I'm sure we'd have some great ideas if we all put our heads together.

um what? lol, Ok I'll agree with you that people on these forums are less than luster, but still. Quite a lot of the changes they made and ARE making into ARR came directly from the forum you so call full of "stupidity". Things are not so black and white.

but I digress, As per the OPs original post. I'm somewhat torn in this department. While I would appreciate realism in such areas as the one you mentioned, At the same time it would just be like, so what? it goes both ways I think, its damn if you do and damn if you don't. If you put an invisible wall on there people will be like "that's limiting omg rageeee", and if you don't then we have other people saying "why can people stand in this type of texture without it collapsing" so yea. Given that this IS a game I would say it isn't that important to limit people from jumping on these tents, or w/e they are. Of course that is my personal opinion.

Player: I want new mounts!

Yoshi: What kind?

Player: Um idk something like a goobbue would be cool

Yoshi: Ok here you go! We designed you a goobbue mount

player: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE

Yoshi: Ok what else do you want?

Player: I want to be able to jump!

Yoshi: Ok here you go, you can now jump!

Player: RAAAAAAAAAAGE


Game developement has to be one of the most thankless jobs ever.

I was reading some comments around in the net and a bigger number of people than the spoiled vocal minority of this forum consider us stupid for complaining about jumping XD!
(thankyou vocal minority)
