"Jumping" in PvP - Pirates of the Caribbean Online Fansite & Forums

I haven't really done PvP a lot until lately, but since I have started I've become pretty familiar with "jumpers," in other words, people who jump around constantly, circling you, murdering you while you can't even touch them. Before today, it annoyed me and I thought it was unfair, but after today, it makes me FURIOUS.

I ended up in a mayhem match with a level 18. No sweat right, a 40 vs. an 18? Welp, the guy starts jumping and promptly proceeds to kick my butt. I go at him again, and once again, I have my butt handed to me. Realizing it was pointless to even TRY to fight this guy, I stand still and flip my coin. He then proceeds to tell me I need to "stop crying" and fight. Well, anybody who knows me knows I have an EXTREMELY low tolerance for this kind of bull. I kept standing there, letting him give me a few more less than friendly comments and finally reported him (knowing perfectly well he probably won't get the boot).

My question to all you lovely people of POF is this: how can I do this "jumping"? I will NEVER use it in PvP because to me, it seems as much like cheating as glitching. However, I would LOVE to know how this works so when I come across one of these people, I can give them a dose of their own medicine.

Rest assured, next time I see someone jumping in PvP, I will do the worst thing you can possibly do to another pirate in the game... absolutely nothing.

Have auto run on, Always hold right click to change angle and circle the enemy And press Q, E to go to the left or right.

Haha. I bet that was a very interesting conversation.

Honestly i find jumping/running/voodoo doll-ing and other stuff like that in PVP to be childish and noobish. Stand yer ground and fight like a pirate!

swashbuckler II · #6 02-03-2009, 10:47 PM

Its kinda hard to jump but i agree, staff and doll is very noobish

I agree with ye mate. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same as we do.

Never much of a pvp'er meself, but lately I have entered some matches to view the same thing. A pirate that stands his/her ground has no chance against these jumpers. As soon as their health goes down (if ya can get it down) they are off and you are left chasing after a Jumping Bean. It's useless to even try to defeat these jumpers because ya know ya can't win...Like I said I'm not much of a pvp'er...because of the glitches so many use. Now with this added feature....don't invite this pirate to any matches cause the invites will be turned down.

I have encountered more than a few "jumpers" in pvp I find the best solution is to throw siege at my own feet it always kills them before me.

Personally, if a level 18 has figured a way to win (minus macros and glitching, that is) a PvP against a level 40, then he deserves it!

What fun is PvP if you can determine the outcome before you go in? "I'm level 40 and you're level 18 so I will win. You must fail because you are lowlier than I am."

The key is to figure out how you can overcome their better PvP ability.

I agree with Bart... its not really cheating since you're not doing anything that isn't allowed in the game. So you jump? big deal. As Bart said, not glitching, not using macro (not like you could use it to your advantage).... well then you're not cheating either. Just gotta learn how to fight it, its sorta a better PvP ability since... you are staying within the games rules yet you are able to win. Last time I checked Disney NEVER said jumping wasn't allowed in a pvp... if it was how come you can?

Dan_OB · #14 02-04-2009, 02:03 AM

What happens if both people jump? does someone win or do you both jump around till your tired of it?

Question is if both can do it does it ruin the game?

If you're a 40, you could probably Blast an 18 down anyway. I agree with Bart.
