BOs cant jump

Any idea why it is that Orcs and in particular BOs cannot jump? I've played BOs and KotBS on Live and have always been perplexed by this. KotBS can jump around like young Gazelles and IBs do as well, yet BOs cannot jump at all, to the point that healers and other squishies being chased by a BO will often seek out obstacles on the ground like rocks, benches, chests, or some other debris to jump over in the knowledge that the BO will eventually get hung up on one of these and thereby the healer can escape.

Any word from any dev either from the old Live days or now on RoR as to why this is?

Oh well then issue solved. Case closed. Move along, nothing to see here. LOL..

However, is there a difference between jumping up and down and jumping over obstacles while running, such as say, in pursuit of a healer, as described in my OP? No? Yeah? Yeah. There is. LOL..

Hey why'd this post get moved from the Greenskin section to the 'Game Support' section? I was asking fellow Greenskin players what they thought/knew about this issue. Moderator please advise why thread was moved?

You're really asking for advice on why a thread which was obviously a game support issue (you can't jump, when all careers in the game can jump) was moved to game support?

Jumping while moving is a different topic and affects everyone. I really hate it we cannot jump forward while standing in place (I can do that in real life).

You must be playing a white orc, cause we all know that white orcs can't jump.

i expect they are just running over geometry they know can be hard to get up due to collision detection. pretty sure all races/classes have same jump height and air time, maybe just looks like less cus orks have little legs and huge torso.
