Jump No Longer Necessary after Patch 1.17

[Cairdeas]

win!!! people who do not want jump have no reason for it and can not see the future... what about a place where you can .... Idk jump over cliffs to the next area?

People have stupid reasons for not wanting jump it DOES NOT effect your game in the least... remember you all bitching about quest flags.. notice when it was added no one said anything? because IT DOES NOT EFFECT YOUR GAMEPLAY IN ANYWAY.

You people are bitching about JUMP? think about that for a second? JUMP!!!!! who the hell cares if they add it or not but if they do IT WILL NOT KILL YOU AT ALL!!! in fact it could be the start of something cool mab??......

FF11 players are the bitchest bunch of people ever seen i wish i hated ff games after reading stupid threads like this and the posts in them so we would not have anything in common..... You people all bitch for a change and when it comes you bitch even more.....

If you want this kind of content where an area is only accessable by jumping it should be done with another mechanic like chocobos

Tell me about it.

They're like: why jump when you can just fall?

I'm like: Um, how exactly do you fall over a puddle on the ground, or fall over a whole in a bridge, or fall between two cliffs separated by a gap?

I just stare in disbelief sometimes.

Yes, the amount of puddles, holes and gaps in the scenery are really dominant. Can't walk two steps without seeing one!

Well if they were everywhere then we'd have spam jumpers wouldn't we? Just out of sheer necessity.

I dont particularly think it was ever NEEDED. But honestly, who cares if it is needed or not. I want it. A lot of other people want it. The casuals want it. So I still think it will be implemented in one way or another.

you know whats funny. people who do not want jump for the reason of spam jumping don't know what they are talking about. I played a few games with jump feature and never really say a spam jumper.
WoW, Aion, Free realm, Perfect world international. Personally I like PWI and their jump. They did make a truely 3d realm. One of the newbie quests involes using jump to scale up to reach a treasure chest.

Both jumpers and anti jumpers are against spam jumping, so it will not be an issue. And even if there is a rare chance you do see a spam jumper. Ignore it. You guys should be adult enough to not let 1 player ruin your day.

Jump would still be nice just because, honestly, why not? It's a quality of life improvement that has little to no impact on really anything other than the occassional stuck up person that you can never satisfy.

That said, I still think the whole thing is moot until they finish the higher priority things first. Quality of life changes should come after content and fundamental systems redesigns.

No thanks. I'd rather they lay the groundwork for a great game and add the content afterwards. Besides, they're pretty much almost done doing that. 1.18 should be the first battle system changes/maybe some dungeons. But yeah, I'll be surprised if the jump feature isn't included in patch 1.17a.

[Kilta_Firelotus]

just want to add i'm neither for or against jumping.
I would like to jump, swing, scale mountauns though. I'm a sucker for ultimate role play.
Plus I know jump can add content PWI is prerty much proff of that. As is aion.

The excuse of not wanting bunny hopping is seriously getting old. It is too easy to implement a system to not let jumping get abused like that for it to be a factor. It has been stated a million times a simple stamina tied to it won't let people abuse it. And even if it didn't have stamina tied to it, it wouldn't be nearly as big a deal as some exaggerate it to be.

The excuse of "Its not needed" is only half plausible. It may not currently be needed because nothing is currently designed with it mind, but that doesn't mean future content or zones can't be. Zones that are designed with jumping in mind are much more enjoyable to explore. Needing to jump to reach higher spots and get past obstacles or ledges. Taking fall damage and dying if you miss judge or time a jump, or if you don't die getting a movement slowing debuff. Being glued to ground sucks and makes the game feel more restricting.

It can also have effects in combat. Timing jumps to dodge certain abilities would be cool, just adds another dimension to combat. Jumping can add much more depth to the game than it can take away if it content and zones are designed with it in mind. Hopefully SE doesn't let the very selfish loud minority sway them to think otherwise. These forums are a great place for SE to collect feedback but hopefully they realize it doesn't necessarily represent the whole population, or potential population. Sometimes I think this game wouldn't survive its own fan boys if SE takes everything they read here to heart. Jumping is standard in MMOs now, and it should be in FF14.
