Regarding Parachuting - Minor Changes


Recommended Posts

Right, so I do quite a lot of parachuting and only recently have I noticed some small changes.

 

First off, there are two parachuting jobs that are apparently different to the rest. Leap of Faith originally use to start from choppers, however now it is only available for two players and starts on foot, much like a base jump:

This one, Construction Bail is completely new to me, yet the game showed I had already played it. Again, this one starts on foot on top of the Mile High Club construction site:

That aside, upon finishing Leap of Faith I noticed a rather different animation when I landed, which I have never seen before. Figured I'd post this as it seemed quite interesting.

 

This is just a quick video demonstrating the animation:

Was this mentioned in the most recent patch notes?

I had a look through but didn't find anything related. Then again, there were hundreds of new patch notes so I may have missed it.

Construction Bail was there when I upgraded mid last year... Was pleased as it's so quick, it became the go-to for my dailies... Other job is not familiar though, and the animation is something I haven't paid attention to, parachuting is a needs-must for me though... Did a bit when paid double last year but that & dailies is all really.

I done all parachute jobs in order when I have it for dailys, just to get the green check mark on them.

When I had all check marks I pretty much just scrolled through the list and selected a random job when I did dailys.

 

Maybe 3 months ago though I saw a job without the check mark, yeah it was construction bail.

Now I do that one every time it's a really great little jump.

 

Also my character do that chicken like animation every time.

Noticed the new animation before 1.38 update, my crew and I used to be parachuting all-stars. We did them often and in playlists.

 

The BASE jumping change I don't believe is new either, for I discovered it in the last 6 months also but I'm not sure when the change was made.

After 3 years i still haven't successfully completed a parachute jump.

Wait, what?

 

Like you always go splat or you've never landed in the target zone?

 

I mean, even if you miss every checkpoint and land a mile from the target, as long as you don't end up a blood puddle you've completed the jump successfully.

 

Any landing you can walk away from, etc.

Makes me wonder why they changed it. Especially Leap of Faith which use to be for 8 players now dropped to only 2. (One player on each side of the roof).

The animation has been in the game for ages now, a year or two at least I'd say. I think Construction Bail and leap of Faith were reintroduced in their current format in about June of last year.

 

One issue that I've noticed with parachuting recently is that on a few jumps like Desert, Jump Wings, Airstrip and Take the plunge you don't seem to get the extra 15 points for a perfect landing. I'm not talking about the extra 15 points you get for finishing first if playing with others but for the landing points that you can get both when playing with others and solo. I asked about it in the help and support section a while ago but it didn't seem like many people knew about the problem.

While we're here I'd be grateful if anyone could clear this up for me, when you land a jump is the landing score based on where you touch down or where you end up after stumbling forward a metre or two?

It's where you touchdown :) Unlike the Chase Chute flight school challenge where you have to take into account the stumble distance.

Cheers, see I get confused because that's usually the one I do when I have a flight school objective, that or the Titan landing for the lightning storm. The more you know.

I remember seeing that animation a long, long time ago, maybe as far back as Current Gen launch (late 2014)...and then it disappeared (at least for me it did). I haven't jumped in a few months but this is the first time I've seen it since it 'disappeared'.

Cant watch the video atm but I guess its the one where your character turns around an waves with both arms?

 

Pretty sure that exists for quite some time already. Got it recorded somewhere, i'll check it when I get home.

Dude...
Here's a video from 2013 showcasing 'Construction Bail', as it's always been in the game:

 



Here's a video from 2014 showcasing 'Leap of Faith', like it's always been:

 



The "for up to 8 players starting in a heli" one, you're refering, is probably 'The Shed':



And if you look closely in the 'Construction Bail' video, the dude's landing at the outter ring stumbling forward getting 15 points, so you're also wrong about it's mattering

where you touchdown. I don't know what to tell you man... Except for: You know nothing Jon REXX Snow.

Oh, and before I forget...

We know no king but the King in the North, whose name is Stark.

Maybe i should clarify, i meant parachute events. I usually hit a building or crane or some object. As for heists i'm a reliable safe pair of hands.

That Animation is pretty old, when I first saw it I recorded it. Uploaded it just now.

 

It shows my character level at 213, and I'm now level 754 so its some time ago. I checked the date and its from 22 September 2015.

 

I'm not sure what triggers it but I guess since your character is quite pumped up about it I guess it triggers if you finish in first place with maximum points only and even then its still quite rare.
