    This collaboration was a great experience and I was honoured to be able to work with some incredibly talented SFM movie animators.

      but don't such servers already exist? there are 3 dedicated jump academy servers with the map jump_academy2_rc7 which has 174 jumps in total going from totally easy to medium and hard. Best place to learn rocket jump. they also got custom maps on their rotating servers that range from t2-t5

      @noblegoldheart8508 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@PurpleTako there are indeed servers decimated to that. But those are custom made maps. What he was referring to was if Valve made maps dedicated to rocket jumping. Although I can say that Jumping_academy2-rc7 is my favorite out of all of them. I love how custom made those maps can be, I even remember seeing one that had a Minecraft theme to it.

    Honestly I think the beautiful and sad thing about life is that everyone probably has a “Soldier” in their life at some point. People who helped change your life one way or another and then left. I think my favourite thing about this animation is that it encourages you to help others as you were once helped, and words can’t describe how heart warming that is to me

    Let me tell you a little story guys.
    December 2014
    I've met a F2P who had no misc, weapons or something on the panda jump server with the map jump_academy_b3(?)
    He had huge problems on the wall course and so I did it with him slowly through.
    He needed on jump 3 10-15 minutes but he didn't gave up at all
    Fast forward 2 days: We went to the jump_academy_b3 again and did the wall course again. He completed jump 3 less than a minute and already jumped very good at the other obstacles
    few days later we began the pogo course and gosh he learned quick but still has small problems with the timing.
    I gifted him my old virtual viewfinder and he loved it. Now he is a player who extinguish players as pyro, uses voice commands, trades and can do the basics of wall- and rocketjumping.
    And my dear players, happend only in december only with the help of one player.
    Thank you for reading
    Tl;dr: I helped a F2P so he has skills like a 3k player
    EDIT: Wow guys 40 likes?? I just wanted to tell what happend and that other players with over 1k hours, go on a jump server and help new players with your skill.
    Another thing you can do is to be trainer for a player. (This system isn't that great tough..) The best thing is if you go on a server, see a player that is new and ask him kindly if he wants your help. If so then add him and become friends. Trust me, you will get close friends with him/her as soon you help him/her.
    But theres one thing: if you want to do it, theres no turning back. You choose to help your student, then do so.
    If you like the Idea then please join my stamgroup "Free to Teach" steamcommunity.com/groups/free2teach
    Edit #2:
    Holy mother of josef! So many of you guys joined the group! I seriously didn't expect that to happen :) Well, thanks to everyone who support us and the players that need help.
    Edit #3:
    I saw that alot of comments weren't visible because they were marked as spam by youtube :/
    I un-spam every comment thats useful (Like questions for example)
    Edit #4: 2 months ago I posted this comment and created the group. We have now over *260 players* in it!
    Thank everyone of you for doing their part and helping the group grow :) Special thanks to The Winglet himself for doing this video that let me create this group, to the jump academy for giving me the idea to not only teach rocketjumping but also competitive, casual, trading and other gameplay things. Also special thanks to my admin "judge dan" for doing his job perfectly and last but not least: special thanks to my first ever student.
    Edit #5:
    *spits coffee out* what happend?? Guys we reached 400 Members! This. is. amazing. (Per month we got like 100 members)
    I really appreciate that you help this project! Also: 520 likes? I never expected this boom to happen! I love everyone of you :)

    I wish players were like this because once i went to a jump academy, and barely anyone helped cuz it took me a long time to grasp the concepts of some jumps. There were only like 2 helpful people who stuck around for more than ten minutes. I asked my friend for help but they were to interested in other games. So basically i would practice so much everyday that my hand would hurt until i could do jumps i wanted to do. So it's been my personal goal to help as many f2p i find. This might seem a little cliche but honestly, all pros should be like these soldiers and not arrogant players with their noise up all the time.

      +Zachary Miller The thing with being on JA as a teacher is the inflow of people wanting to learn. For almost 2 years now JA has had an issue with not enough teachers to help about 25,000 ish players. I myself am a teacher, but a lot of the time when i try to help, I get about 3 or 4 persons asking for help at the same time. So trying to help them all at the same time is hard on concetration. And if you tell them to wait they end up leaving because of how long it can sometimes take even with help to finish 1 jump for 1 player only. ALso, teachers are players just like you and me who have stuff to do like school and jobs, but we teachers are regular people helping out others for free and spending out free time helping, and students don't really understand that concept.

    Damn, this type of shit nearly brings a tear to my eyes.
    As a TH-camr myself, people always add me on Steam, wanting me to play TF2 with them.
    9 times out of 10, they're god awful at it, and are F2Ps.
    They always get really embarrassed because they think that I dislike them for that, or that they're ruining my videos.
    Afterwards, I always spend the rest of that day teaching them the ways of every class, and game-modes.
    Eventually, some of them skyrocketed in terms of skill, all with different playing styles.
    Through my year long journey of creating TF2 videos, I've helped out around 10 once F2Ps, and now at least 4 of them play competitively.
    I never thought of giving them a hat, but instead, I gave them a strange variant of the stock primary of their favorite class, most which were Soldiers or Snipers.
    We sometimes still play TF2Center matches with each other, and a few months ago, someone I helped over a year ago messaged me on Steam, and told me he was in a UGC Highlander team, and that he was very thankful for my teachings.
    That shit made my day, man.
    Go help a F2P, make TF2 a better place.

    I was terrible at rocket jumping. Saw this a week ago. Got excited, and I joined Jump Academy. I'm a very skill full p2p (no brag intended) yet I was shit at rocket jumping. Stuck on one bit of the wall course, until about 10 minutes passed of me just failing. Then a Gibus f2p found me, then watched me for a bit. Then he taught me and didn't give up. I'm not a expert at rocket jumping, but I'm now really good because a Gibus believed in me (sorry if that sounds rude). I never expected a fairly new f2p to be teaching me, an old p2p tf2 player how to do master techniques in rocket jumping. This just goes to show how friendly some people are, and to NEVER judge a book by it's cover. I'm still in training with him, and I've got an upgrade to premium gift for him at the end of the month as a thank you gift. Never doubt a Gibus Soldier.
