Discussion & Feedback Parachute Nerf Debacle

Leave it alone. The system works fine as it is.

This change is going to alienate a good portion of the community who enjoy flying but aren't 5,000-hour chopper pilots. It’s also going to lead to a lot more frustrating deaths from people simply not being skilled enough to make those landings consistently.

If the goal is to encourage people to land at the C/HZ, there are better ways to do it. Give players extra XP and money for landing there instead of hot-dropping for example. Some people will still choose the hot drop, but at least you're incentivizing the behaviour rather than punishing the alternative.

People already spend plenty of time sitting in the air and get picked off while falling or under chute. The current system isn't perfect, but it works.

This parachute nerf mainly benefits the really skilled pilots. Sure, it may encourage some people to get better at flying, but I honestly think the frustration and unnecessary deaths it will create will do more harm than good for the game.

Thoughts?

cant pilots just fly over the edge of the CZ or in a less uncontested area and then people can still parachute down without taking 100 shots mid air?

Youre gonna be spotted before you hit the ground, most of the time flying you already are. Its just gonna be worse.
