Why do you people constantly jump in battlegrounds?

DarkJester1 · August 2018

Do you think you're harder to hit or something?

Because you're not.

So please stop acting like a spaz.

OP, it's just to bug you.

...okay I made that up. I have no idea why anyone jumps in this game.

I will tell you if it's me, it's because my hand shifted and I meant to walk forward (my forward defaults to W - I bound jump to E like in Morrowind [TES III])

Speaking of jumps, I noted a weird visual bug in game recently. If I'm walking (well, jogging) and I jump, after I "land" my character skids for a bit, THEN starts walking again.

Must be a Fortnite thing they carried over.

What do you mean you people?

On console jumping by allows you to bar swap with a basic controller and not lose your momentum. Also you can jump, block, and not lose your momentum

Because winners jump.

Anethum · August 2018

here a question for balance - why not?
Sometims when u jump always u can jump above some stones or another landscape things even without noticed they were there, sometimes to disorient in all these aoe and effects your enemy, or just for fun.
it's not important.

Does jumping allow you to move further without sprinting and chewing up stamina? But totally agree it’s very annoying

Chibs · August 2018

Obviously it works to some effect if people like you are complaining about it.

helps me time my rotation

SilverWF · August 2018

Because my keyboard has the space button

No, you actually slow down while in the air. Not much, but is noticeble.

Minyassa · August 2018

I honestly think that most people don't know why they're jumping and just do it because they saw other people doing it and got conditioned to think it's a thing they need to do.

To prevent walkthroughs from ruining casts / channels. You have 360 degree LOS while you’re in the air.

I don't think it works, it just breaks the immersion of the game a bit. Can't remember the last time I watched a fantasy movie, or medieval battle where everyone thought they were Tigger. It's ineffective, but looks ridiculous. Make it cost stamina and watch it stop.

It's ineffective yet you want it to cost stamina? Simply because you don't like seeing jumpers? Nope.

It helps me see over obstacles...and over players.

Kelces · August 2018

they probably forgot that they don't need to skill "acrobatics"

dodgehopper_ESO · August 2018

Sometimes people jump to get over a pebble that won't let them pass...

Perma-jumping in PvP, whether it be Cyrodiil or Battlegrounds, is the most infantile and ludicrous behaviour, and indicative that the person you are confronted with, with all likelihood is one of those 'competitive' diehards that have polluted most other player versus player online games with their dubious presence.

Easiest cure for this malady would be to simply turn off all skills and attacks while jumping, just like they are turned off when sprinting.

Spotted one already.

Asardes · August 2018

It sometimes allows you to get LoS with instant cast abilities on targets that are higher than you, but probably most people do it for show. I rarely jump - and only do it for the former reason - or stop to t-bag people as I've found this slows me down, and slowing down costs points and can get you killed.

ATomiX96 · August 2018

if you get offended by jumping i feel terribly sorry for you i hope the milk your mom brought you yesterday at bedtime wasnt too cold

Avnr · August 2018

skills timing/skills rotation

work on magicka classes mainly
on my 1st jump I cast buffs,
on my 4th jump I cast shields ,

from jump 1 to jump 4 better burst fast:)

sudaki_eso · August 2018

if you see me jumping its because dodge roll is on l2+x on the ps4 and often in the heat of the battle sometimes the game doesnt recognize that i pressed l2 as well and since x is also jumping i jump

RUDE!

This whole post is a flame/troll.

I always attributed it to the need to be doing something.

I just LIKE jumping! It's also no one else's business.

It's not a MALADY unless you're weird.

I am not at all a competitive diehard (lol at the thought)!

I like jumping.
