Removed jobs from Online

[Max96]

Rockstar has removed/disabled some jobs as they wrote about that in newswire before. Among removed jobs sea races and base jumping were removed too. So, from now it ain't possible to unlock "Numero Uno" trophy, which requires winning in each competition, sea races and base jumping are included...

Looks like it's impossible to go for Platinum trophy on Playstation.

so there is no parachute missions anymore?

 

this must be for an incomin update but i dont understand

[Lonely-Martin]

I don't understand why they'd take the stuff away needed for trophy completion, but in general it's not a bad idea to help folk find jobs easier. 

 

Hopefully they rotate stuff fairly frequently to carry things up and those looking for certain modes for trophies can get theirs.

I noticed this last night on Xbox. Parachuting and versus jobs weren't in the job list.

Nope, but they will probably enable jobs for events, new week bonuses, etc.

Edit: they clear lists for future updates as they said.

Rockstar can go whackamole on any job introduced a year or two after the game's launch, but it makes less sense to target original modes with trophies and awards attached to them.

I manage to do sea races with bookmarking jobs but that same thing didnt worked with parachute give me error downloading the map check

Weirdest part is that they gave zero explanation. Sure, they have mentioned vaguely it in the past that they will remove some junk to free up the space, but not like this.. So most likely  this was just some bug or  part of the rework process or whatever. Perhaps the game  modes that were left will be featured in upcoming weekly events until they finish doing  whatever they're doing, so they temporary left those as is?.. I'm kinda worried that they might rework matchmaking the way it works in red dead online. This would be really f*cked up..

Did they also remove the requirement to win a sea race to unlock some of the paint colors in Los Santos Customs?

I can't check, because I already unlocked all colors

No, nothing extra was made. If they don't fix this crap soon people will lose daily streaks as well. Though that is regular anyway I guess.

It may not be correct information but I seem to remember reading that Microsoft and Sony can fine them or force them to correct this? Since it makes achievements and trophies on their platforms unobtainable? But then again, maybe they’ve removed parachuting a as a requirement for Numero Uno as well now?

RIP parachuting jobs

RIP (cord) parachuting jobs.

 

FTFY

[Halal Cyborg]

Expect them to Remove I/E soon followed by Cayo Perico

[Gridl0k]

I remember the dim distant past of 3 years ago when Target Assault was the big new thing.

 

 

[Gridl0k]

I think I figured out what expanded means

[El Diablo 702]

R* doesn’t care about awards, they’ve removed them before “all of the original free roam events”.  They disabled the events and removed all associated awards ie crates “special & regular” , smuggler planes, green Simon cars etc.  

[Jimbatron]

Got to say this is adding to a growing list of questionable decisions by R*, unless they are planning to reintroduce these in a more limited way soon.

 

Makes no sense to remove core activity of the original game entirely.

 

Any one would think they were deliberately trying to sabotage their own franchise.

Have custom sea races ever counted for achievements/trophies?

[dieseltech20]

Did this also wipe out player created jobs? I have crew members that have made some fun sea races and it would be a shame to lose them.

[Spider-Vice]

I don't think any data is lost, access to the jobs is just blocked. Given they intend on cycling the jobs around, I doubt UGC (user generated content) will be touched at all.

They will still be available. I made one last night to help someone new unlock the relevant matt paints

[HamwithCheese]

Honestly, if it isn't a data or memory issue, I don't understand why they just didn't rearrange everything to be streamlined. Like aren't LTS's and death matches exactly the same? Isn't target assault, all the captures, king of the hills, arena war, and versus mission's technically adversary modes? Isn't parachuting technically a race? All this stuff can be streamlined and organized but I guess it's easier to just wipe it and give it back later.

 

 

What the f*ck, they didn't even wipe them from the phones, so the thing that'd actually be beneficial from this is exactly the same. 

[Lonely-Martin]

'Expanded and Enhanced' they say...

 

'We're removing content though'...

 

Mad innit?!

[Spider-Vice]

I saw someone in the Next DLC Speculation topic saying the game felt a bit less jittery for them on console, I wouldn't be surprised if it was for performance reasons due to all the coronas around the map for each of the modes, matchmaking not having to sift through so many jobs, menus being less populated, etc.

 

I'm assuming they also have stats for each mode's player count and engagement, if globally there isn't much engagement, even if 100 hardcore fans really like one mode, it's probably not enough for it to stay unfortunately.

True. On PS5 though there's no real issues before these went, but I don't mind them trimming the fat at all. If for performance or to help matchmaking. That's all good here.

 

I just found it funny they're promoting E&E while reducing things, lol.

 

Though do feel they should have announced that this could impact trophy progress when they announced plans to remove bits.

[Max96]

Dunno if it is possible to edit trophy's unlock requirements, but if Rockstar is going to give access to removed jobs for new events weeks, we will have to wait for that to unlock the trophy, which breaks trophy's standarts.

I agree, anything that impacts on unlocks, awards and trophies/achievements should be notified in advance. 

I don't think the current generation of management/devs even know what's linked to what! Only yesterday someone had a Parachute job as one of their Daily Objectives. I can't believe that any thought was taken about wiping all the sea races (not that there were many) and all the parachute jumps, the mind boggles.

It looks like that C*ckstar got mad when saw 100k dislikes on "Expanded and Enhanced" trailer

Unfortunately for you, they announced this in July (at the bottom).
