"Searching for a landing spot is tedious. ...Tell us when a jump will lead to damage."
Finally made it through all these threads and hand an idea reading this one. Maybe when you click the jump button, something like the sneak/hidden indicator should be activated:
1) Either tinting the ground in colors to indicate accessible, inaccessible, and accessible but fall damage. Similiar to how enemy's view cone tints the ground red in sneak mode. The most visible intrusive but overt option.
2) Or making the mouse cursor have a changing icon like the sun/half sun that indicates in light or darkness when trying to sneak. The least intrusive but perhaps too subtle option.
3) Or make it so the circle underneath the cursor indicating movement applies a gradient of color within the target circle itself that lets you know how hot or warm you are to where you can jump. Moderately intrusive, both subtle and somewhat overt. But nothing else in the game uses something like this.
