jumping

so can u jump?

TheBean · February 2007

I am not really sure but I'm thinking yes. DAoC had it, and especially if they put in /stick and /follow and such since there won't be as much a hassle from people jumping all over to avoid hits.

At the moment, jumping is in. Look at the Player vs. Player Gameplay video at :

Jumping isn't too hard to do, I guess that it all depends on how well it fits in with Mythic's idea of RvR gameplay. So while it is here today, it could be gone tomorrow.

I actually find jumping well be pointless in this game. Hopefully they wont have jumping knowing that you can't ' walk through players' so people well keep jumping on each other's heads and slowing them down. For you CSS players who would know , it was very irratating while playing Counter Strike.

My thoughts are reflected in this post. Specially the pointless part...

Seems like a yes. There's been videos of people jumping and we know some classes can even fly. Personaly, I don't like the 'pointless' arguement. It completely breaks immersion to me if my character is glued to the ground. I prefer a more realistic approach where I can hop, even if it doesn't do anything. And besides, jumping shouldn't get you over a character anyway. No one except maybe an olympic athelet can jump six feet up, especially not while wearing armor.

I guess everybody has different thougth's. Those who played CS and hate the jumping on the head part well agree with me but CS has noting to do with this so ... whatever.

Also I found it annoying in Guild Wars not being able to jump. Don't ask me why it just did lol, a strange feeling, pet peeve of mine I guess

DuraheLL · February 2007

You people can't believe one of my mates didn't wanna play Guild Wars because you couldn't jump AND there were no mail boxes

Theese were the most stupid criterias I've ever heard of my life! Yet, of course, he does play WoW and that explains alot.

I hope Jumping WILL be there because it IS annoying from time to time not to be able to jump over the smallest of obstacles. Tjus it should never be that much of a deal. I'd love it more if it were more like a "Resident Evil 4" motion-action thingy (you know... walk over to a fence and press an action button to jump over). So people don't run around jumping 24/7 !!!! Like some games *cough*

This can be easily solved: Just put an endurance bar and every time you jump, it consumes a good amount of it. The endurance bar should of course be used for something more meaningful. (Like special moves for an example)

Just make sure their ain't no ubber buff or chants like in Daoc to make it all useless at the end though...

TheBean · February 2007

Yeah I like that idea... No senseless jumping all over the place during PvP combat to try and avoid getting hit... God thats annoying

Areel · February 2007

Obsessive jumper here, and saddened by all the "jumper hate" I'm seeing. I like to jump just about anytime there's no action going on. I jump to see if there's anything new I can stand on. And Base Jumping is my favorite pasttime when I don't have anything better to do! Nothing like finding the highest reachable point, then jumping off it! Wheeeeee.... splat!

I'd never jump while fighting though.

What classes can fly? The only thing I've heard is that chaos chosen and KotBS can fight with their feet off the ground which points to mounted combat to me. And the Magus "fly's" on a disc, but he's on a disc that is slightly off the ground, not flying.

Not sure what you mean by flying?

I like the idea of an endurance bar, prehaps they could make something like the bar they got in bf2 so you could run extra fast, but only for a short while

That'd work nice! You can always hope

Jumping=like 90% of the exploring. The fun things about games is to get to places where u shuldn't be, but jumping. I totally agree with u. Not sure I woul even be able to play a game where u can't jump (got GW but no jumping drove me nuts).

reploidx · February 2007

So basically all the people who want to Jump in a game are the asshats that sit there and do nothing but jump up and down in one place and lag everything up?

If you base everything over "jumping" in a game, then you need to get your priorites straight and go play Mario for like a year or something.

*Disclaimer*(I'm just teasing people, i'm not sitting here yelling at everyone, i just find it strange how everyone needs jumping in a game to actually play it
