Millardkillmoore Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I wanted to start this thread to compile a list of all broken jetpacks in the game that still generate flames from the feet when utilizing rocket boost or Bounty Hunter abilities To start: Contract Hunter Chestguard Underwater Adventurer Rebreather Underwater Explorer Rebreather (I know people will say this is an air tank, but it has the same model as other jetpacks and it makes no sense that characters would wear scuba gear on dry land. Until it's been confirmed by Bioware that flames were never meant to be emitted, I'm calling it a bugged jetpack.) Bounty Hunter Campaign armors Please post with any other jetpacks you know to be broken. Compiling them all in one place will hopefully make it easier for Bioware to fix them.

Reno_Tarshil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's Underwater Exploration equipment. A jet pack is still a Jet pack.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec_Fortescue Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's not a jetpack xD I bet it has some turbines there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 It's not a jetpack xD I bet it has some turbines there. It's a Jetpack because it uses the jetpack model and even a turbine will Propel you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millardkillmoore Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) I'd really like an ETA on when these and other broken jetpacks will be fixed. Edited May 8, 2014 by Millardkillmoore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millardkillmoore Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yep, I was all excited to use this. Got all geared up with my jet pack... aaaaaaaand..... nothing I'm just glad I bothered to check the jetpack before auging, transferring mods, and tossing an expensive dye into the armor.

dakajojo Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I posted this in General, but I will post it here as well: Both the Underwater Explorer and Underwater Adventurer Armor sets do not utilize the jetpack attached to the chest piece. The rocket boost instead comes from the character's feet. Based on the model of the chest piece and from popular consensus, the rocket boost animation should come from the jetpack on the chest piece - not from the character's feet. I am not sure if this was intentional, or a bug. If it is intentional, it doesn't really make sense to have an unusable jetpack (there is no underwater travel in-game) and should be corrected. If it is a bug, please fix it. These are easily some of the best Bounty Hunter sets available. It's a shame the jetpack is not currently being utilized. An In-game bug ticket has been submitted. I would suggest anyone else reading do the same.

Loc_n_lol Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) Underworld/Verpine aim gear has a working jetpack for bounty hunters, the problem is it the flames show up on the trooper as well, which has no jet pack...

Glzmo Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The custom Bounty Hunter chestplate drop (forgot the name, it's white and blue) from the Black Talon also has a jetpack but the flames come out of the feet when using Rocket boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veyss Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The Black Talon chest has a backpack, not a jet pack, more akin to trooper armor. Most classic armor pieces that had jet packs right from release do work. Crafted stuff, items you get from story and planet missions etc. The problems started when they implemented new gear styles that did not exist and when all the adaptive stuff was added. Warhero PvP gear was when I noticed it for the first time that armor especially made for Bounty Hunters didn't have a working jet pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyK Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Underworld/Verpine aim gear has a working jetpack for bounty hunters, the problem is it the flames show up on the trooper as well, which has no jet pack... I use that on my trooper and love that I have working flame jets on my back. I hope they don't fix this one. I won't actually use rocket boots on characters that don't have something equipped where the flames come out of the back. I wish they'd make a "speed run" equivalent we could also purchase so we'd have a choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styffydawg Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 How about some love for the jet packs that shoot flames out to the side and upside down. That'd be nice. Been wearing the same chest for 1.5 years and it still has a twerking flame nozzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirolar Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Just to add to the list of "wrong" jetpacks: The Battleworn Triumvirate Armor spawns two Muzzles floating in the air (at about the kidneys) when activating Rocket Boost. IMHO it should actually work like normal armour (read: have jetboots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
