Destiny 2 takes away Eager Edge skating, community not pleased

Bungie recently took away Eager Edge skating in Destiny 2. This move guarantees players can't skip most encounters. Skating has been done multiple times in the title to circumvent encounters and reload checkpoints. Players have been using this method for more than three years now, with last year's Eager Edge perk ensuring players used it even more.Bungie Help@BungieHelpPatch notes for Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.2.0.7 are now available: bungie.net/en/Explore/Det…Stay tuned for updates on the status of server maintenance.71870Patch notes for Destiny 2 Hotfix 6.2.0.7 are now available: bungie.net/en/Explore/Det…Stay tuned for updates on the status of server maintenance.The removal of the method was addressed by Bungie staff, and the entire community has been pretty vocal about the change. The majority of the playerbase isn't very happy with the patch, claiming the developers have been taking the fun out of the game, while others couldn't care less.Eager Edge nerf has sparked fire within Destiny 2 community (2022)To go over the changes once, Bungie stated the following about its most recent Destiny 2 hotfix 6.2.0.7:&quot;Fixed an issue where Eager Edge could be used multiple times in a single activation.&quot;The above statement is valid for players who used to skate by triggering the Eager Edge perk multiple times. However, as tested by many within the community, the entire nerf is worse than what was initially stated. It affects not only the number of activations of the perk while in the air but also the speed at which a player is moving.For example, if a Guardian activates skating with their subclass, Destiny 2 will not trigger the Eager Edge perk because the player is going too fast. Similar results are obtained while falling from great heights or being pushed by an enemy in PvE or PvP.&quot;Gain increased Sword lunge distance immediately after switching to this weapon&quot; is the perk Eager Edge provides players. The increase in lunge mentioned here is 100%, giving players enough ground to cover after equipping the weapon. Only two weapons can roll this, which includes Half Truths and The Other Half from Destiny 2 Dares of Eternity.Bungie's community manager dmg04 posted an official statement following the nerf that said:&quot;Re: Enhanced Eager Edge - Team was finding numerous issues where the perk could be used to skip encounters, break mechanics, and generally cause issues with the game.&quot;While most players were disappointed and angry at the company, it seems that the Community Manager's post confused some of them. Eager Edge was used for skating, which helped players a lot in skipping encounters and clearing puzzles.Skarrow9@Skarrow9Sure there are many different levels of feedback - that’s a different conversation.The eager edge change affects a small % of the community, but our feedback still matters.

Exotics remain disabled in the game, with weapon types getting locked out due to damage buffs. Moreover, the recent false bans followed by the shutdown of the renowned Destiny 2 site also stirred things up.miss @ TWITCHCON 🌴@mislead@BungieHelp fixed an issue where players were having too much fun4967@BungieHelp fixed an issue where players were having too much funIf someone was to deem the game's PvE to be in complete shambles, recent events have just made it worse and less enjoyable for a fraction of the community.
