This is why we need jumping/falling system in FFXIV

[Elexia]

Dear !@#$ing lord why did Yoshida have to say the J word? -.-

To put to rest it's not important, which sadly the people who want to jump for no reason won't take it laying down, even though they lost.

In the future it could (read: COULD) be good, but at the moment there isn't any reason. Most things can be climbed over after the collision detection update (given it could still use some work) so I don't see a reason for it.

And with how badly the server needs to optimized, would you really trust a free jump in the current state the servers are in?

At least not a free-jump but instead of walking over hills, they could probably pull off a FFXIII and just make the jumping based on collision.

I think that would be the best of both worlds. Though it mostly would only serve as a visual effect, nothing more.

maybe you think there's no reason to have jumping

but I even more wonder why you people have to against it. can you tell me why? how it will effect you guys if they add jumping to the game?

Why are you asking people why they dont want it? They've said it plenty of times. In fact, is there really a reason we absolutely need it?

Would you be against if they added collision-based jumping like i mentioned earlier? Its just as tedious as walking over the small cliffs. Just adding the visual effect of jumping would serve the purpose of Free-jump without allowing players to jump around all over town.

For those against that idea and want Free-jump, i seriously have no idea what to think, almost as if you'll be the ones jumping around like monkeys. It happens in every MMORPG that allows it. I wish FFXIV will never become that way.

What MMO are you people playing where people cannot restrain themselves from jumping constantly and needlessly and totally ruining your gaming experience?

I was in WoW last night, in Stormwind, between the AH and the bank. Dozens of players milling about, scores more coming and going. And--get this--all of them, through the grace of some celestial power, managed, somehow, to restrain themselves from tapping the big, gigantic, tantalizing space bar before them to make their toon jump up and down, thus saving the game for everyone. It was no less than miraculous.

I know what you're thinking, "There's no way that this many WoW players for any significant amount of time could restrain themselves from jumping about and utterly laying waste to immersion." But I tell no lies, my friends. This happened.

What's more, I did a few instances later that night. PUGs, using the Dungeon Finder. We tanked and spanked our way through several dungeons without a single--wait for it--moment of immersion broken by a player jumping up and down like he was having a conniption! "Preposterous!" I can already hear you typing this. Alas, no, I am not storytelling. I am relaying a true account of something that indeed happened.

My immersion suffered no detriment due to unnecessary and incessant jumping. It simply didn't happen.

But, surely, this must not be the case for all of you. Some of you must have indeed been wronged--so very, very wronged--by some shady n00b who sought only to rain on your MMO parade by finding that space bar with his barbecue sauce-stained fingers and, yes, tapping it, tapping it, tapping it, forever more. You have my most sincere sympathy. I know there's nothing I can say that can take that memory, and that pain, away. But you need to learn to trust--you need to learn to love. Open your hearts. There are millions--nay, billions--of people waiting to play FFXIV and to use that jump command economically and correctly at just the right moment to provide an unfathomable amount of immersion that can only come from interacting with your environment by moving your body vertically over part of it.

tl;dr: Open your hearts. Let the healing begin. Jump around. Jump around. Get up, get up, and get down.

I never played FF13, but I'll assume that only at certain/obvious points you'll be able ot jump after hitting a button.

Unless they do make the servers more responsive, that's the only way I ever see jumping work.

Well, that game you press a button or you continue to walk forward and it jumps for you automatically.

Even if it was free-jump, server response is still an issue. =/
