Doubt they'll ever add Jumping, altough it saddens me a bit. I never liked those "stupid" gamedesign solutions which have been widley used by JP developers in many games over the last years.
Talk about games where you get weapons with which you can destroy full buildings but no, you can't open that wooden door, need the special key.
Or FFXI's areas on which you couldn't access because they were 5 cms above ground...
At the end of the day of course I don't care much for all of this if the game is good, but still I consider those as pretty cheap and stupid gamedesign solutions that developers use to achieve a certain goal in a quicker (and lamer) way.

I have the unfortunate image of a Roegadyn in a wet shirt walking out of a lake in my head, a'la Mr Darcy.

Meh! That turned me on :O

I SPY A LAWLAFAIL?

[Eligor]

Is there actually a game that makes you get stuck on something like that? I'm serious, cause for all the XI that I played, there wasn't anything that ridiculous, unless you're intentionally being facetious. If not I'd really like to know what game and where cause that's fail.

FFXI gets you stuck on random steps (Crags, Ordelles, CN,...).

Yeah chat box on the left looks really slick unlike FF11 chat box

[Celeras]

Is that a hotbar I see?

You obviously didn't play much of FFXI if you never got stuck on those areas. The jungles are horrible, but places like the outlands and the northlands also have several such areas. I'm not talking about blockages, like things being intentionally there to get in your way; just the models of the environment blocking your movement unintentionally. They're all over the place in FFXI. And it annoys the hell out of me.

These places were the worst with that shit. I got stuck on random stuff all the time.

Information is coming in waaaaaay to slow, it's killing me.

Looks nice, just hope they left the chat "free" (I mean no need to touch a key to get into the chat) like FFXI.

Yes I know what you mean, like stairs in Leujoam Sanctum Assaults... I always get stucked in there while trying to go up, annoying, yeah

But let's start to live with it, they'll never add jump to the game, and probably we could have already told this. I for sure wasn't really expecting it (hoping for it though, yes!)

fuck, i see WoW'esque/generic western UI. hope im wrong

I played XI since beta and quit roughly after WOTG came out with it's 2nd or 3rd update. I was referring to you saying a blade of grass, since you referred to that specific thing twice I assumed you knew of a place where a blade of grass tripped you up. I'm aware of little things no higher than an ankle in the jungle (especially in the tunnels and some areas near the cauldron) being trip ups and ofc the ordelle's caves as well as garlaige citadel.

I wasn't trying to be combative so don't take it the wrong way it's just how you came across made me think you had been dutifully wronged by a blade of grass in the game and I wanted more of said anecdote.
