My 7 year old is face rolling his way through the Sith starting area at the moment and he asked me a good question. He says, "Daddy, why don't the Sith and Jedi have a double jump or super jump in this game?" I told him, "Well buddy, it's an MMO and they don't usualy build in stuff like that." His response was, "But it's Star Wars!!! ALL Jedi and Sith can force jump super high." I could not rebuttle that one...
So, Why don't Jedi and Sith get a force jump?
Do Bounty Hunters get rocket packs?

This is the answer you should give your "7 year old" ..


It would throw the balance way off if they gave Sith and Jedi this ...
In umbris potestas est ("In the shadows, there is power")

Why Haven't They Fixed My Bug?? - I'm not the Author but it is a great read.

Your answer was correct in the first place: it's not how they make MMOs.

ok ok, he's 7 and a half and it's madening trying to explain that mashing the button as fast as he can isn't going to help anything other than his finger strength.

Balance what? Sith/Jedi get force jump. Bounty Hunters/Troopers get Jet Packs. Smugglers/Agents get a stupid cover mechanic.

Heh. That's like trying to explain how to get the unstoppable force to move the immovable object.

7 year olds should not be playing MMOs.
Stupid should be painful.
