why can't a Jedi/Sith do a vertical jump higher than 10 ft?
in the movies they can jump like 50 ft at least.
what are they doing at BioWare to miss such a basic Jedi/Sith skill

You can force charge, that's 30 metres, basically a big jump.
Intercede, another big jump.

If it has to be a vertical jump, force charge to someone stood on something 30 metres above you, then there you go, 30 meter vertical jump!

But then again, probably a troll post.

Because of Balance between classes.

I'd almost suggest that instead of giving Jedi/Sith the ability to jump that high whenever they want they make it so that instead of taking an elevator they can do a Force Jump(a scripted event when walking up to a place were there is an elevator and instead of using that they can "Force Jump" up. Other classes would have get similar abilities that suit their thing (jetpacks, grappling hooks)).

i think you missed my point!
in the movies they jumped strait up onto platforms without using someone to attack to get them up there.
this is the same as taking away bobba fett's jet pack....sucks really bad and needs to be fixed.

Well, even though the idea is somewhat good, i see alot of player abuse here with this. Okay to avoid the abuse, put a very long cd on it. With the long cd, the ability is now a bit useless instead of certain situations. Then comes the players discovering an exploit using a large jump like that through fp's or ops.

Mabey just leave as is.

Then make a suggestion thread? Bounty Hunters/Troopers get jetpacks, Agent/Smugglers get grappling hooks. Job done.

Ok ok, have a sorcerer stand 30 meters above you, and get them to Extricate you, then you can pretend your jumping.

But I agree, this is completely game breaking and needs to be fixed now.

Maybe it was always a sorcerer pulling them, but he hid from the camera.

Yes, I'm not saying they should take away the elevator just thinking about how elevator rides could be more fun, at least how I would consider them fun.
