as much as i like jumping, it shouldn't be considered in dayz

[bioned 36]

especially in a zombie apocalyptic world where half meter fall breaks your leg

 

im being very serious right now

 

i mean pshhh whats the point of jumping?

 

i guess they could REPLACE the existing feature with jump

 

but if they are planning to add jumping as a new feature, I strongly disagree

 

im no fan of 5 billion bugs, and im telling you, it will be there when jump is introduced

Double tap 'V', you will jump. It makes a ton more sense than that painful vaulting animation. It's not like DayZ will have rocket bunny hoppers like it was Quake 3 or something.

Yes they will most certainly add a 'landing' animation should they add a jumping one. This is not the realm of the bunnyhop. You will not use it as an evasive move.

I've never really found myself in-need of jumping, the vaulting we've got is okay.

 

What I'd love to see is climbing (a la RDR) which would allow players to climb over fences and get onto low rooftops.

Parkour would be neat.

Completely remove valuting and add jumping.

Valuting is very clunky,robotic and unpractical.

Let me briefly explain what i mean from a past personal expirience.

Zombie----runs after me-------fence----press v-------see my charachter raise slowly his foot----geting hit by zombie------raising second foot------zombie still hitting/bleeding---------unconcious-----dead-----rage-----screen is thrown outside off my window-----2 story drop------buy new monitor--

----repeat.

You can't jump over the "new" stone formations in the new board lands cities in the game. So you cannot camp on the top of it, and if you try to vault you just get stuck in the stones.
So, YES for the Jumping like a tasty bunny feature!.

Ps.: This game surely needs more fast paced action to it! If you wanna be sneaky as a ninja, you got to be fast and fluid on your actions!~JustSaying.

I think walking and running is dangerous enough in the stand alone, fix my chalky bones first an then consider it perhaps.

i'd rather have a jump, a climb or a slide to prone than anything else dayz has to offer

[plexico 386]

I'm confused, isn't jumping already in the game? You hit v while running and your dude hops. 

[pacific_coast 632]

nah thats a lame little "fast vault" while running

not a proper independent jump

[gibonez 3633]

I don't think OP has any idea on what he is talking about.

[omgwtfbbq (DayZ) 1069]

Double-tapping the V key (or changing it to another button) makes your character begin the charge for a jump.

 

-Quickly tapping it makes your character perform a puny hop (~1-2 inches)

-Pressing and holding it for X amount of time makes your character jump a medium height

-Pressing and holding it for X+1 amount of time makes your character jump the highest they can

 

Makes you use some stamina/energy, could be combined with some kind of grapple feature to allow for fence climbing/wall ascending

 

Unnecessary, but makes the game feel less restrictive.

 

REASON FOR "CHARGE": In most other games, your character jumps the instant you press the jump key; there's no buildup to the jump. It's instantaneous. In real life, you must prepare at least slightly for a jump if you want to jump the highest you can.

FUCK YOU DAYZ

[JPWiser 251]

Ill take a realistic walking\running toggle when going up\down inclines\declines over any sort of jump anyday.

You use the now available v?

 

I've changed it as well putting the "raise" on one of my mouse buttons, makes much more sense and is less cumbersome not that I jump all the time though.

[charliepow 100]

I prefer to run around with minimal gear (using the improvised courier bag) so it would be awesome to see people lugging around mountain backpacks unable to jump in comparison to light-packers like myself. I just imagine jumping/climbing over tall fences while they're forced to go around it. And possibly jumping across some buildings.

You double tap V to jump? I've been pressing V once when running and it makes me jump but other times makes me vault. Before the last patch, if I was running I jump every time I hit V and if I'm walking I step over every time I press V but now it seems random or something changed?

its always kinda buggy. Lag destroys the animation. I think having your arms raised or not also makes a difference.

I thought that too but then I jumped with my arms up when sprinting lol. The good thing is, it will get fixed :)

[shaeg 136]

Especially with the games super shitty unrealistic fall damage you if you jumped on flat ground you would prob break your ankles or even a leg on top of haveing everything in your pants pockeda "ruined" by the 2nd or 3rd jump
