Jump spamming during combat

@bobbythemod there are ways to do it on console, if you change your key bindings around. However, it's still cheesy

@cebelicus i don't think that's the fix. I think just a miniscule delay between jumps would do the trick.

@seriouslyslyguy I agree with having an option for console only servers. I've played on both PC and Xbox X and there is a clear advantage to PC. Jumping is used way too often in non-combat situations to add a penalty for jumping every time. If they are going to address this issue I would recommend adding a stamina bar. The stamina bar would enable you to jump 2-3 times before having a movement penalty. Coincidentally they could tie things like lung strikes to the stamina bar so we could better time continuation strikes/actions.

@explosiveboby lol hardly. But if you want to be like, that then it seems like you need to bunny hop because you aren't good enough in a toe-to-toe.

@super-poopsy fortnite has you limited to like 3 jumps in a row in that it reduces your vertical momentum heavily if you just spam your jump. As soon as you walk like 2 steps you're back to your normal jump. works quite well

on top of all things I need jump as a way of communication - 1 jump: yes; 2 jumps: yes yes; 3 and more jumps: I'm extremely exited and may or maynot whant you to sink my ship

It's not the new best way. It's always been the best way. It's objectively more difficult to aim at something that is moving up and down as well as left and right. DUH.

"Tried this feat in reality"

Have you tried firing a muzzle loaded gun under water? Have you tried firing yourself from a cannon and landed on your feet, uninjured? Have you jumped from a boat in the middle of the ocean and found that a mermaid showed up to return you to your boat? All of this stuff is literally impossible. Jumping while eating a banana is merely difficult for clumsy people.

So wait, nerf jumping because some people cant hit a moving target? Its not about the hardware someone uses, its about the player. Tons of controller users have pooped on kb/m users. Look at these people who use scuf controllers, they hop around like crazy to and can kill with no problem. I think this is more of a practice makes perfect type deal here.

@seriouslyslyguy jumping Should interrupt eating the banana. Making it impossible to use this tactic on console and PC.

It is a cheese tactic anyway. Made worse that it just ads to the advantage PC players have to console players.

You use the word should. Why? Give reasons. I can put a banana in my mouth right now and jump. Why should it be cancelled?

You can’t eat a banana while jumping in circles uninterrupted. You will begin to just half a*s one or the other.
And th “reason” in a game only needs to be that it would make the game better and more competitive. PC gamers having so many advantages is bad for a game that has far more console players than PC players.

Assumptions. Do you have any indisputable facts?

Dude jumping anywhere near the height in game requires using the whole body, arms included. You can’t maintain that while shoving a banana in your face.

And the idea that we should be able to do it in game because we can kind of sort of barely do something similar in real life is flat stupid.
If you think the banana and jumping mechanic should be “realistic” then eating a banana should not heal bullet wounds.

Besides jumping in FPS has always been a cheese mechanic in every FPS. I served more than 20 years in the military and tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. Running around jumping up and down does not make someone more effective in combat.

Besides, the cheese mechanic creates an additional and avoidable advantage between PC and console. That is enough reason alone to fix it. Console gamers are unlikely to switch to PC to play Sea of Thieves if PC gamers over console advantage is not mitigated at least in some ways we will just lose console gamers that like competitive PVP games. There are plenty of other options.

I didn't say that we should be able to do it in the game because it can be done in life. I worded it like that because the OP says "I tried it and it was difficult to accomplish" as if jumping and eating a banana can't be done.

As far as your military service, it's irrelevant. If you were able to maintain accuracy, not fatigue yourself, and move faster because of it, you can bet that people would be trained to jump around in combat. The fact is that jumping in this scenario does give you an advantage, as it does in almost every game, and there's really not a reason to refrain from it.

Finally, in regards to pc advantages. You're flat out wrong. I play on console and changing this would also remove any advantages that I have over people who are too dumb or disinclined to use the game mechanics in whatever way is effective. Do you really think that you can't jump and look and eat a banana on console? Even without special controllers, you can just use the claw. Furthermore, there are no console gamers who like competitive pvp games because those games don't exist on console. Putting competitive in front of the phrase "console game "is like putting competitive in front of the phrase "child on a tricycle". It doesn't matter how amazingly the child rides. You can't be competitive with that hardware.

@ttargetpractice wow look at you sounding like a pc elitist. Thanks for your two cents but as soon as you started comparing xbox gaming to a child, I wrote you off as opinionated and not objective. Clearly you are one of the jump mashers. Obviously you'd be trying to save the cheese factor of the jumping maneuver.
