Jumping idiots

BRogueNZ

I hate it, I do it, I understand why

a) have 5 seconds of fun before I die

b) timing rhythm (and all that jazz)

I had a conversation lately with one of my friends, he is a big fan of ES, but he hate ESO because its a MMO
when i asked him directly - why you wont try it? ESO has greate solo-player content too, very detailed quests, and such
he told:

- I wont see this jumping idiots(other players) around me

and its not the only one opinion i heard, i know other guys that thinking the same way about MMO games
I think its a big mistake and misunderstanding, but all my argumets havent any positive effects

what do you think about this, how to convince such ppl?

actually show him the game. Some people just don't like mmo, their reasons may seem silly or misguided but it still their reason. You shouldn't force ppl to play a game they have no interest in.

An observation. Before I started PvP I'd notice the people who like to duel around the wayshrines would jump a lot. The next thing I began PvP and noticed a lot more people in PvP jump a lot more often. One thing I noticed is it helps when an enemy is targeting you in PvP it makes it more difficult. And another reason I see players jumping again in PvP is when they know Nightblades or hidden enemies they try to I guess tease them out of hiding. I think some people are developing this habit based on more survivability or the belief in that helps. Other than this ADD may be to blame...lol

Why convine such people? Live is too short to change people mind about what they enjoy. I like meat and don't like vegetable. No science or statistic facts about how good vegetarian is for your health can convince my taste buds. Just play what you like and let your friends play what they like.

You can't - they are adults and do not what to play with kids or those, who never became adult enough to just play nicely and to not be a total [removed for profanity]. Why would they want to bother with an MMO, if nothing else is drawing them to play the game?- Just leave them alone - let them play their game, it's called "real lfe".

If something others do annoys you I just can wonder why you picked a MMO of all things to play.

And of course Tamriel - let alone player houses offering a secluded space - is so huge there are vast stretches where you don’t meet anybody for hours at all.

MMOs just are not for everyone. I am still generally not a fan of MMOs myself, but I like the way ESO looks and plays and I like the stories and landscape, so while I do wish there was a solo or private server version, I put up with it being a MMO. I know some other people who can't ignore/tolerate the things they hate about MMOs like I can. People with certain types of social anxiety, people with a really high stress level, people with even less patience than I have (amazingly I think they do exist), there are just various reasons why MMOs might not be the right type of game for someone.

You can't change someone's mind if they tried MMOs and loathed the experience, all you can do is talk up your own experience with it. If they decide to give it another chance because you love it so much, do your damnedest to make sure they have fun starting out and get attached to it, so that when the things they hate DO inevitably happen, they will have something they love to counterbalance that.

That's how my friend got me into this game, as someone who generally does not put up well with people's nonsense. By the time I realized how fracking annoying some things were going to be, I already loved enough things about the game to make it worth putting up with the annoying things. It remains a fine balance, though.

This thread jumped up from the grave.

The only time I am annoyed by jumping is if we're in a trial and I am trying to heal the jumper with a cone heal that misses because he won't stop running and jumping away from me.

But i jump in overland content occasionally usually when I'm mind numblingly farming. Put me on your 'blacklist' all you want but I heal/tank vet DLC dungeons for PUGs and guildies alike quite often and I only receive complaints of my work when I am dumb enough to go DPS instead. I am also most guildies's first peep to call if they need a werewolf bite or have a friend in need of one, or if someone needs potions made or gear crafted because I almost know 8 traits of everything, working on 9.

If you've played morrowind you should know jumping is mandatory. In fact I never stopped jumping.

That is what I was going to say. There was a reason in Morrowind and Oblivion why you jumped during your travels. I found it funny I couldn't stop doing this in Skyrim or ESO. Can't remember if I did that in Arena and Daggerfall but for over 10 years, I can't stop doing this. I even do it in Witcher 3.

Greetings everyone,

Due to the fact that this discussion has been inactive since October 2017 and the commentary since then isn't really bringing the discussion any further, we decided to close this thread.

Thanks for your understanding!
