Jumping

Could you consider tying jumping in AoC to stamina, or otherwise find a way to prevent players from jumping constantly and allow it only when necessary? It doesn't look good when characters are jumping all the time like rabbits or monkeys. I can't even imagine what it will be like when there are 100+ people on screen and everyone is jumping… I don't think it should turn into a jumping simulator. what do you think ?

    Oh dang, now this is a throwback to a few years back. Shout out to @Neurotoxin B)

    I personally don't care about the jumping, but do think that additional stamina expenditures will influence the game in a potentially bad way. Especially in fights around varier terrain.

    Then jumping should slow down your movement speed, so there would be some kind of penalty to prevent people from jumping around like they're out of their minds.
    Anyway, sorry — I didn’t notice that there’s already a post about jumping from Neurotoxin. I’ve checked it out now and added my own comment.

    Your post is pointless.
    If you want to bring some value to the topic, you should explain why jumping is good as it is now. Otherwise, it's just a mindless opinion... Someone might say it's okay, someone might say it's not okay.

    Jumping is fine as it is now because it has no real impact on combat, and some people enjoy it.

    The only people that don't are people that think themselves to be the only thing of importance.

    I'm surprised the game doesn't alread link jumping to stamina since the game focuses on pvp.

    The game focusing on PvP has no direct effect on needing to tie jumping to stamina.

    This would only happen if jumping would make you immune to Tripped or certain ground tremor attacks (and players basically don't have those at the moment).
