Title says it all.
Try counting?
Yup, try counting. You can extend the time on some cars by applying a car mastery skill.
About 5 seconds on cars without the Skill Chain perk. With it, you get an extra couple of seconds.
Depends if it’s got any skills attached to it that’ll extend the time.
I’ve always found it also depends, sometimes a lot, on how forgiving the game is. Often I’ll think I’m still banking points and extending the chain with skills and suddenly for no reason at all, it’s dead, points gone. No collision. No missed point or skill extension. Just a random shutdown of the chain. And on rare, very rare, occasion I’ve been sure I’ve run out of time and my chain should be dead but it keeps going and I get back in a zone with points and skills and keep going. I dunno, maybe it’s a server issue.
EDIT : I guess, what I’m saying in my usually long winded way is, the number seconds don’t matter. Just keep banging the skills and hope for the best. And always, ALWAYS, bank it if you’re just looking for a certain points total because you’d hate to have a bunch and lose it. Unless you’re going for a personal record, or one of those accolades or something. And I forget, it’s been a while lol, there’s a max point total for skill point award or whatever it was I used to grind for. 500,000 points earning 10 skill point things or whatever ? So if you’re just mining the points, mind your running total and any multiplier and once you have the max, stop and bank.
EDIT 2 : Dang. Even my “short” form of my long winded is long winded ! LOL !
At least I didn’t get filky… hehehe… well…
How many seconds till the chain runs down
Before it is called done ?
How many skills must a skill, skill bank count
Before it stops in the sand ?
How many times must the, must the cheaters fly
Before they’re forever banned ?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’, blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind
…apologies to Dylan
Definitely a short enough time that you can lose it when in the air at Dunas Blancas. I can believe 5 seconds but it surprises me I’m off the ground for that long.
Indeed. I 've always considered “the breaking of the chain while in air” to be a design flaw. In my opinion the game should continue it by adding more Air Skill points.
