Let me off the skimmer

I love everything about the skimmer; except for getting off of it. I dont want to mash the button 10 times before I get off my skimmer anymore. Exiting sparrows has always been a single smooth button press. Please fix skimmer 🍒

  • I feel the same way. If I had to guess the delay is probably there to prevent people from exploiting its movement somehow, but ultimately it's just interfering with casual use. With that said, this is literally the only negative I can find with the skimmer. I love using it. If they can just make this one change it will be perfect.

      • Exiting the skimmer is one button press. Just don't be grinding.

      • I had to make a macro to jump off the skimmer tbh. (Also allows to jump off while in the air)

It’s actually not difficult to get off of you know what to do- just hit the interact button to get from grind to normal riding mode then another hit of the interact button gets you off. If they changed it to a single button press there would be no way to keep riding once you’re done the grind, other than mapping a full dismount to another key, which is pointless Edit- roaming around Neomuna and it definitely took multiple key hits to get off the grind. So yes, I whole heartedly agree with you lol

      • I’m pretty sure you need to be on the ground before you can get off. I know you can’t if you’re grinding or in the air from the jump boost.

        • You can’t get off the skimmer if your grinding or you boosted into the air an jumped. I press one button an I get off just fine.

        • Facts, I always have to smash the A button like 10 times to finally get off. It’s definitely annoying, because when doing the rainbow road in Prophecy, when you’re out of boost you can jump off and spawn a new one. But if you can’t do it quickly, you take a bunch of fall damage and then you’re susceptible to snipers.

          • Agreed... I'd also like to be able to choose a strafe dodge rather than the whirlybird thing.

              Actually the sparrow is a bit like this, too. Long ago, bungie made a change on how you exit the sparrow. Players used to be able to fly off their sparrow when getting off sparrow at high speed. Bungie didn’t like people making a longer jump by doing that so they nerfed it making it a bit harder to do that jump/fly or simply getting off sparrow. I still have to mashed the buttons just to either get on or off. :/

              • Wow, thank you all! I thought it was just me that had major issues getting off the dang thing. I love them very much and can't see myself using a normal sparrow again. But dang it's been really hard and extremely frustrating to get off it.

                  • There is tech to quick dismount, which lets you re-summon without losing more than a couple meters of height.

                  • Most likely intentional so you can’t grind all the way, immediately jump off and maintain your same vertical height, which could break a lot of boundaries
