I don't want to fight jumping blademasters. They're bad enough as is.

It was stated before that DR's game engine does not support a vertical axis, thus making jumping impossible to implement. Plus, like people said, it does nothing for DR's current gameplay.

Actually I thought the game engine was upgraded with chunk4, or was it just the graphics engine?

It was the graphics engine only.

Why is every body so down on jumping? Other than the fact that it's been suggested 14000 times. It's not necessarily a bad idea. It would add a small dynamic element to the game. 1. Skills could be modded to include a jump -- a number of fighter skills, butcher for one, currently use this rather silly spin-hit (makes me expect my toon to say something in an gayish, Euro accent, like, "Yah, I have smackt you, and yus' vhat you gonna do aboud it, hah?"). A jumping butcher could be a lot more enjoyable (though if improperly done, a lot gayer too). 2. I'd be plenty happy if we could jump some of the smaller lava flows. Heck, I even paid a million for teleport on my first toon, thinking it would do precisely that -- only to get a rude awakening that teleport sucks cheese off a donkey's teabag (line of sight, my ass).

Anyway, I don't really care one way or another. It's just curious that we abuse the jump suggesters so badly...

(Qualifier: Not to assume everyone with a 'Euro accent' is gay... just that the combination of gay cadence and any number of Euro accents amuses me greatly for some reason...)

It's not that jumping is a bad idea, it's just that it brings very little to DR's current gameplay and it requires too much work to implement, as with the current game engine it is impossible (or so I'm told). To allow this will require a rework of the game engine, and there simply isn't enough in this idea to warrant that.

Bleh, that's all we need is the 'dork ballet', with people jumping all over the place. No thanks. I like gravity just the way it is.

vB post 142861 - 10/15/08 12:04 PM

Righteous Stomp, that looks like a jump skill to me, see it on a female fighter(yea it does say stomp but ...), just saying

Yea, then we can all bind space to jump instead of heal and die like f^ck!ng morons!!

Better idea:
set the forum to auto-ban anyone who posts the words "jump" and "good idea" in the same post.
