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

Yeah, i already know about that. Always keep tracking newswire, but sadly they removed parachuting mode....

[HamwithCheese]

I'm surprised no news outlets are talking about this. Especially since it's a nice follow-up to the horrible EnE trailer.

[dieseltech20]

Stupid to see them resort to removing content so the game can perform better but 95% of the stuff they removed was useless garbage anyways. No one will miss it. 
 

Im sure they are pretending they do though and the angry comments on social media are piling up by the dozens. 

[Spectre "2K"]

man, so despite planning this months in advance they're still too incompetent to remove the daily objectives and tweak the awards associated with them...yeah, sounds like modern R*

Oh we can but wish. The problem is that Dom still calls if you haven't done one of the parachuting jobs and will continue until you do one. They should have vaulted him too.

[CarimboHanky]

for years people have said the game have a lot of dead modes taking space...

 

R* remove some dead modes from the game, the fan base cries

 

R* cant win

In first place why adv modes were added? Peoples play them because those gamemodes get often the x3 rate of payout but after most PvP happens in freeroam or in dedicated RnG jobs. I was reading on Youtube comments guys crying about adv modes being removed...

That's just how it goes on Social Media. The Internet and the world would be better off if Facebook, Twitter, etc were shut down.

[Shadowfennekin]

Honestly, it's been 8 years.... that's more than what most games offer on their MP services. If you don't have the achievement, it's on you. If you really care about achievements that much then you'd know Online ones don't last forever

 

Not like the Criminal Mastermind where you basically have to wait an eternity for partners that are genuinely interested

 

Hardly anyone even touched those modes, there's no loss here and they could just as easily update the achievement.

Weird post. This game has enormous player turnover. I'm not shedding any tears for a day one player that wants the achievement now, but people that first logged on in the last few months didn't get a proper crack at it and now never will. Hopefully they'll reactivate the needed jobs eventually, or change the requirements.

[Rammer2k]

I'm still waiting for that damn panther statue to come back to finally unlock all the primary target award.  When was the last time it was a available?

Lol, parachuting wasnt dead... I was often playing it when i get boring

[AidanCKY]

This change is terrible, there's loads of game modes that were great and my friends would play all the time.

The Vespucci Job and Overtime Rumble being my favourites. WTF Rockstar...

It was available only once, in spring I guess.

[Geisterfaust]

From the all available options R* have chose to remove parachuting lol. On the serious note though, the issue of too many jobs with too little sense was present long time ago, but it will be better to remove adversary modes.

They have removed a lot of adversary modes too, mostly unpopular ones.

Have custom sea races ever counted for achievements/trophies?

They do. I just complete the 25 wins for sea races with custom maps but you need someone to join cant do alone

Oh great! When their system join players ARE broken, they just remove modes. FFFS i like Quick Game in random jobs, but they removed 53 modes. It's very sad.

Hey, imagine someone having met his future in Tiny Racers VI. I can see how the removal of that mode could then bring up some tears.

And who would that be?

People that weren't born yet? Squeakers? lol No sympathy for them, they shouldn't be playing in the first place.

 

Just look at every other game out there, within a year most die out and it's impossible to find players to get achievements with. Or servers/functions simply stop being paid for. Nobody even does Sea Races or Parachuting and it was about time they culled the Crapversary list as if you wanted to play a specific one? Got to scroll for a good f*cking minute to get the one you like or that's double money!

 

The Quick Job function on your phone was no longer 'quick' either as you can see just how ridiculously full of crap it is, and only the newer stuff is actually hidden if you chose to 'hide' it! So if you get a sh*tty task like "Fleeca Scope", scroll again! "Fleeca Scope".

 

The achievement is doable within thirty minutes, if you don't have it I have no sympathy. People who actually care would KNOW to grab the MP achievements, even the easiest ones right off the bat as somebody they'll be permanently locked away!

 

I'm all for the game killing game modes nobody plays, hopefully they do the same with the Freemode Events and add some new ones or bring back the LG ones. Nobody does the "Sniper Kill" or "Headshot"(Most kills are explosive related), "Hold the vehicle", "Fly low/under bridge", they just clog up the event timer.

 

Besides they can just as easily fix the achievement

Business Battles were a fine addition until the aircraft carrier arrived, turning a quick random challenge into a multi-part mission that 1- nobody can be arsed to play more than once, and 2- is troll city with one person killing anyone who approaches. The Paleto chicken factory one is a drag as well.

 

p.s. they "fixed" the security van achievement by deleting it.

I have no idea what you are on about here. Lots of new players come in and out of the game all the time. My current friend group (all of us over 40) only started playing within the last 2 years, except for me--I switched platforms to play with them. People get the game free or on sale, they pick it up out of boredom. Their reasons are their own. But as long as the game continues to be sold and they continue to sell shark cards for it, the new customers are entitled to the same experience we have been getting all along.

 

My take is always the same: sh*t that is in the game should basically work, and the developer should not break features out of carelessness or neglect. That's just shoddy. It's not the end of the world, but it's also not the kind of thing that is done so casually and indifferently by the kind of developer that Rockstar used to be.

I platinumed the game for the first time on the PS4 version a few months back, but regardless, this is a dumb move by them. I guess the PS5/XSS/X version will probably have something different in the trophy list then.

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.

It is, it was always easily doable as far as Microsoft and XBOX go, it can be done almost immediately, but Sony are incredibly stupid and they require proof and sh*t like that as to why they are changing it, e.g. "Is it impossible to get it now?", even if it's made incredibly hard or for something to be done, they'd argue "well it's not impossible" and it's over. And it even costs money for that to happen, as per what Blizzard actually said in regards to Overwatch achievements. Sony is really autistic about trophies.

 

As for PC, for example Steam, they don't really care and they leave that up to devs to handle, entirely, as do all vendors.

Do you happen to be on Xbox?

[Kiethblacklion]

Makes me wonder if all those game modes will be added back in to the E&E version, maybe as one of their selling points to convince players to buy the new version of the game.

 

I remember when Online first became active and we had the armored bank trucks randomly appear on the map. It was a bit of a challenge to rob one out on the street or to steal one and take the money after losing the cops. I think it was when the first DLC dropped that the armored trucks were removed from the free roam map. So they have been doing this whole "remove content" thing for a long while now. With the hot properties and business battles that were added to free roam, I see no reason why Rockstar couldn't have implemented the armored trucks back into the game. 

 

I actually enjoyed the parachute jobs (easy money in a lobby full of friends) and many of the versus jobs...like Top Fun.

This guy is heartless.

 

when I started playing in day one I didn’t care about achievements so I haven’t finished some original awards.  I’m now going back and knocking them all out.  Removing parachuting is annoying but not as annoying as trying to find people on PS to knock out the 3 remaining OG heist awards I have left.  
 

knocking out awards right is a way to keep playing a game I was feeling a little bored with.
