What’s the deal with jumping?
I’ve played video games all my life. Never has there been a worse jump than in this game. Is it by design?
The jump action is often latent.
The jump often doesn’t even work when pressing the button.
The jump height differs every time.
How is this effective?

✭C'mon, who doesn't love inconsistent and unresponsive controls? It still amazes me how bad jumping is. The physics in general is just off. I'm sure there's some excuse about the engine but with something so basic being so broken, it really gives the game an unpolished, janky feel.5 -

✭✭✭✭It does make it difficult to platform up cliffs or on people's obstacle courses in housing sometimes. Those elevated "hop from stone to stone" paths, whew. Not fun.1 -

Have fallen to my death countless times at Princely Dawnlight Palace. I can spam my keyboard and get absolutely nothing at the most inopportune times. Good thing there's no real jumping puzzles!1 -

I don't back down from fights, my character is strong enough to stand up in combat. Its when I am doing overland land stuff and I want to jump from here to there. That's the problem.2 -

✭✭✭The animation is also, uh, interesting.
EDIT: I keep accidentally doing that "bunny hop" thing everyone talks about. I have no idea how I'm doing it and I couldn't replicate it if I tried. I'm glad I don't PVP, though, otherwise I'd be in big trouble.Edited by SickleCider on December 22, 2019 4:32PM✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨1 -

You and I both, I have no idea what they are talking about. I can barely get the damn thing to work most of the time, let alone a zippy bunny-hop.....1 -
nafensoriel✭✭✭✭✭Anything N64 would like to have a word with you about inconsistent jumping and poor jumping design.
Heck, even the last 20 years would like to have a word with you about jumping issues. ESO isn't even remotely on top of the "worst jumping" ever category.1 -

✭This is so annoying when doing heists or sacraments and needing to jump up on something to get to a chest or avoid a guard and then having to jump multiple times to do it, too often failing and getting spotted because jump is so erratic. And that's to say nothing about invisible and illogical barriers.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭But but... it makes it harder to hit me in PVP! Lol
Yes it makes harder to hit you with ranged light attacks, because those are not auto-aimed. And if you jump at point blank range it makes you harder to hit with any single-target abilities, because they are auto-aimed only within certain threshold of crosshair.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭We used to have real physics based jumping the felt smooth. Jumping was nerfed after people managed to get out of the map a lot during beta.

✭Or trying to jump over something and the game deems you too close, so you get launched backwards instead. Nyaaaaah!

I complained about the jumping during beta. My only complain outside of quest bugs who tend to be of player overload on quest target.What’s the deal with jumping?

Compared to Skyrim or Fallout jumping is stiff and hard to control.
No the ability to redirect your trajectory in air require magic or an jet pack
But you should be able to adjust your kick off,
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0
