It’s whenever you or someone initiates a grind. Yes even randoms in patrol spaces can technically crash anyone’s game. Really hope it gets patched at most by reset next week, as I hate saying it this is actually the most fun I’ve had in the game in a long LONG time. Who knew adding a stupid board would actually bring joy to this game?
My new pastime is literally riding around any destination that isn’t neomuna (sorry it’s just not designed well for the skimmer at all) and blasting racing music or stuff from like sonic or SSX 3. It’s the biggest stress reliever I’ve had in this or really any game in a while.

First thing I did with the skimmer was ride over the hellmouth

Even though it’s basically lifted straight from Warframe and isn’t exactly “innovative”, I do agree it’s a welcome change. It’d be nice if they didn’t break the game though 😂

Back to the Future did hoverboards before Warframe was a thing. So technically, Warframe is also ripping off something. I haven't played much Warframe, but it's a fun game none the less. But that's all I've heard online. "Destiny is ripping off Warframe." Can't we all just say "Oh, hey! Is that a Back to the Future reference? Cool."

That’s your focus point in this topic? Not the fact that the game is crashing? You’re upset over BTTF?
-
Oh, don't misunderstand me, that is beyond infuriating. The whole crashing thing. I was just tired of people saying "this is ripping off (insert thing getting ripped off)" When the thing "getting ripped off" is also guilty of the same thing.

P.s. When I'm on the skimmer, I somehow get "The Power of Love" song stuck in my head.😅

Look, I never liked K-drives for whatever reason. They were not great feeling in any way to me. This though? I don’t know if it’s the fluidness of the skimmers controls or the motion capture team with the character model or both, but this is arguably one of the best board riding experiences I’ve had since ssx. Something about this just feels right and I can’t exactly put my finger on it. Although, it will actually make me more upset at the fact SRL won’t come back cause I need me some more racing maps. Although don’t take my view on K-drives to be my whole view of warframe. I love the game for the power fantasy of it, but the vehicles? I’d rather just sprint around as gauss or max strength volt in the open worlds.

the weight of your character on the skimmer is so on point, it feels really great. I don't know how they got the mocap on these things but the way my character adjusts to every twist and turn feels like I'm actually on this hoverboard thing, even in third person. I get entirely too much enjoyment out of flipping a bunch of tricks while stationary, just watching other people gather around and try to figure out how the heck I'm DOING that.... Buggy, but glorious.

EXACTLY. It just feels right, and you know it does when I unconsciously am moving with my character when I turn or avoid objects narrowly. That’s how you know you made a great addition when the player can, in a way, physically connect with what’s going on in the game.
