[vale anchor]

Hows that feeling?

[tribal sinew]

probably sore, "they were working on it"

[dull pilot]

Sore, but doing good. Took Kuma to the park this morning. We had a nice time and played with some huskies.

Rex, you can stop spamming that or we can stop it. Choice is yours.

[sudden warren]

Dawww

[scenic nova]

DD/MM/YYYY is so much better than MM/DD/YYYY. And I'm totally not saying that just cuz I'm British

[vale anchor]

If he's sore from "working on it" it's because we were giving him too much grief. Like presently

[scenic nova]

Maybe he needs to work on the spam 😂

[tribal sinew]

aggressive, can you call me names too? @dull pilot (im done now)

[vale anchor]

Pulling up to the huskies and they all turn to look at Kuma like "I think it's a husky but something doesn't seem right..."

[worthy rune]

[sudden warren]

Yea, it's that he was skating

[scenic nova]

⚗️ I have no clue what this emoji is and I randomly just found it

Oh wait I see it now

Wrong perspective

Wait what were we talking about

[vale anchor]

Kuma isn't a husky

[scenic nova]

But it looks like a husky?

[vale anchor]

He's a spy

[scenic nova]

🤯

[worthy rune]

my dog looks like a german Shepard but is actually just really stupid

[scenic nova]

😂 💀

[dull pilot]

Kuma is a UKC registered Alaskan Klee Kai.
The breed is about 50 years old, based on the pairing of Alaskan Huskies and the Shipperke breeds. They are known for their prey-drive, personality, compact size, and having many of the traits of the husky and shipperke breeds. They have dual-coats like huskies, tend to have curly tails (double-corkscrew in Kuma's case), shed vigorously, and are great companion dogs.

[vale anchor]

I chuckled

[scenic nova]

My dog is actually non existent

[vale anchor]

Does Kuma have that howl talk trait like huskies?

[scenic nova]

So THAT'S what a Klee Kai is

I read ur about me and always wondered what that was

[vale anchor]

Klee Kai sounds like it would be a cool name for a dog if it was taken as a breed name

[scenic nova]

Reading people's about me's, as u do

[dull pilot]

Yep. I call him my Hobbit Husky, my Micro DireWolf.
He's very large for the breed (fun genetic lottery). Most Large AKKs are about 21 lbs and 17-19" long. He's 26" long and weighs 36lbs. He's solid.

[scenic nova]

I thought Klee Kai was a martial art 💀

[dull pilot]

hahaha.

That's cool

[vale anchor]

That's a good cuddle size!

[dull pilot]

He's perfect cuddle size. I love it.

He is, unfortunately, too big for me to put in a regular dog backpack, so I am looking at options for him to go riding with me on Black Bess. Either a sidecar or they have these new, larger secure dog-to-human harnesses.

[scenic nova]

He better be in the game somewhere 😂

As like a suit or hat

Or a little statue somewhere

[dull pilot]

That would be neato. My Battlefield family did a little homage after I moved to skate. and got me as an AI soldier in the game, and named one of the robot dogs in BF2042 "KUMA". 🙂

[tribal sinew]

is there a site i can contribute money towards skate? would love to support. (i know its free)

[vale anchor]

Klee Kai:
The martial arts form branches off from Cobra Kai. This training is set to mimic the fight style of an annoyed dog that wants a treat and digs into blankets howling for attention rather than the strike first style of its parent fighting form. Treats and belly rubs are commonly included in training as a motivation tactic along with lots of "good boy!" and head pats.

[scenic nova]

😂

[dull pilot]

No, there's no patreon or IndiGoGo. It's funded by EA. We're good.

BUT - if you want to donate money to something, donate to a local or global reputable skate charity to help disadvantaged kids get into skating.
Or, at the very least, go buy some stuff from your local skate shop to support them. Always a good plan.

[tribal sinew]

seems worth thx

[long kelp]

Kuma lore goes crazy

[scenic nova]

Fr

[scenic gull]

Just got glasses for first time ever lol 🤓

[sudden warren]

Welcome

[ocean agate]

I ate some cheese today

[cobalt dust]

🧀

[icy pilot]

🙃🤓 like Skateistan

[vale anchor]

I'm about to have pizza

On a Saturday

[icy pilot]

I had smash burgers

[solar panther]

I need news

[gray fjord]

I need a cheeseburger

[cobalt dust]

i need food

[waxen apex]

Mmmm

I had pizza with ketchup for lunch. Haven't eaten dinner yet.

[long kelp]

Pizza with ketchup🤔

Very intriguing

[waxen apex]

It's good af

[long kelp]

Im more of a ranch man myself but ill take your word for it perhaps ill try that tonight

[waxen apex]

I cook the ketchup on and dip the pizza in ranch. Way better. I've never dipped pizza in ketchup. It doesn't sound pleasant.

[long kelp]

LMAO bet i was deadass gonna dip it in the ketchup if you didnt say that

That couldve been bad

[waxen apex]

Definitely would have. When the ketchup is cooked, it's so much different. It makes the pizza sweet.

[vale anchor]

I thought the same thing and believed you were a madman. This sounds far more civilized and acceptable

I say this as someone who has dipped their pizza in icing and enjoyed it so take that for what you will

[waxen apex]

I would do that. But not with fries

[long kelp]

I mean i feel like if you dipped fries in a frosty is could be the same difference

[waxen apex]

Frosty and icing is a big difference.

Icing + french fries = 🤮

[long kelp]

Idk at this point id try it😂

[crystal hollow]

Whaddup boys who faded rn 😵‍💫🙏

I'm chillin bro

[waxen apex]

Not faded but I'm making a video

[crystal hollow]

Hell ya man

[long kelp]

Smoked my bedtime J a few minutes ago 🙂

Got plenty to be rolled for football tomorrow

[waxen apex]

Video done. Just gotta render and upload

[long kelp]

Hell ye

[waxen apex]

It's in #self-promotion-skate if you're interested

[long kelp]

For sure ill check it out

[hidden bronze]

Hey yall

[cobalt dust]

[quiet fiber]

[icy pilot]

Or you get a job in the studio 🙃

[acoustic pasture]

Happy Sunday to you all guys 🌞

September best month for skating! And for Playing skate too😂

[sudden warren]

Hmmm

Happy Sunday dude!

[acoustic pasture]

[hidden bronze]

Happy Sunday to you too, Dario! Saw your new vid, you’re killing it already and September just started

[valid jolt]

[tall siren]

Just out of curiosity, how do I install Skate to do a Playtest?

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[waxen apex]

How is everyone?

[swift coyote]

im so confused ive been signed up for playtesting since august last year and still havent gotten in 😭

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[harsh solar]

i’m doing pretty good how are you :D

[waxen apex]

Doing well!

[golden narwhal]

Oh boy hope I get chosen this time

[waxen apex]

Good luck!

[golden narwhal]

Thank you!

[swift coyote]

wish they were explained how to know if u are actually like signed up to these things a bit better

ig im just unlucky xD

[golden narwhal]

True but I think we all think we have a better chance than we actually do so we think we aren’t signed up lol

[swift coyote]

yeah prob

[harsh solar]

if you are a skate. insider then you are in the pool to be picked

[swift coyote]

they should inc the chance of ppl who have been it in for long to get in lmfao 😭

[waxen apex]

With time

[harsh solar]

you just have to be patient

[waxen apex]

We'll have you signed up? You only need to sign up once.

[swift coyote]

ive been trying to be for a year

[swift coyote]

yes signed up as it started

[waxen apex]

So have a lot of us, yet we haven't yet

[swift coyote]

yea

[split marlin]

[dull pilot]

Nothing to be confused about. The FAQ explains everything.

Am I guaranteed to be invited to playtests?
We’re stoked to get you into the game but we need to scale access to skate. gradually as development progresses to ensure a smooth experience, and that means we can’t guarantee how soon you’ll get to play. We will be inviting players to participate in playtesting based on varying factors defined by our goals for testing at that time in development. Stay tuned to our social channels for more information as invitations go out!
https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq

Re: your note about percentages.
I can share this: Our playtests are growing in size, but the amount of signups are growing exponentially.

We're not doing a "server slam" stress test, so it's not a free-for-all. We are testing specific things are certain points, so that's why we send out surveys (and if you don't complete the survey, you're definitely not at the top of the invite list). So, if you get an email with a survey from EA/skate. - fill it out. If you get an invite to register, REGISTER.

[swift coyote]

thanks for that, yeah just mainly frustrated, I know its luck based and is what it is, just venting a bit. just wanna play the gameee! 😄

[dull pilot]

For sure. I understand completely and don't want you to be in the dark about it.

🙂

[swift coyote]

yeah thank u

i cant remember if i did the survey and the link has stopped working by now, how can i get sent a new link?

[cinder basin]

is the playtest also available for consoles or the invite is limited to pc

ok

[scenic gull]

Trust me brother, I’ve applied for a year and a month now and have gotten no emails. Just gotta keep waiting

[swift coyote]

yep

glad to know im not the only 1 tho :)

[scenic gull]

Gets tuff round here :P

[swift coyote]

fr

[astral totem]

fr fr

[dull pilot]

More surveys will come out.

[swift coyote]

okay

[waxen apex]

I like cheese

[harsh solar]

same

[waxen apex]

Anyone else like cheese? What's your favorite cheese?

[harsh solar]

hmm

[astral totem]

Fontina cheese

[dull pilot]

Right now, we're just on PC. When we get to a solid spot to dro pit on consoles, we'll make a bi ol' announcement.

[harsh solar]

mozzarella

[waxen apex]

Gouda is mine. It tastes like mozzarella and cheddar. I call it cheddarella

[harsh solar]

halloumi

[harsh solar]

sounds delicious

[waxen apex]

Never heard of that one

[swift coyote]

is this the "playtester preferences" survey?

[waxen apex]

Does it taste like cheese?

[harsh solar]

it’s really good when you fry it in a pan

[waxen apex]

Hmm

[harsh solar]

yes it does

[waxen apex]

Ooh. Even better

[scenic nova]

Imagine cheese

[harsh solar]

there’s battered halloumi called halloumi fries which you can get practically anywhere that serves food

it’s really popular here

[swift coyote]

omg i love halloumi holyyy

[waxen apex]

Amazing

[harsh solar]

it’s so good

[swift coyote]

halloumi in wraps goes crazyy

[scenic nova]

I could not.
Don't like cheese

[harsh solar]

literally

[dull pilot]

I like a good buffalo mozzarella with some tomato slices, fresh basil leaves, and olive oil - a caprese is lovely. My pasta sauces usually are a 3 cheese blend, using Pecorino Romano, Asiago, & Parmigiano Reggiano.

[harsh solar]

🤤🤤

[dull pilot]

I tried halloumi twice in Sweden. Just not my thing.

[harsh solar]

fair enough, lots of people don’t seem to like it but i love it

[dull pilot]

That's one. There's others that are sent directly to your inbox re: stuff like playstyle, platforms, etc.

[dull pilot]

respect.

[swift coyote]

oh ok thanks again

[dull pilot]

of course, troy.
(now I can't stop thinking of troy from community and troy mcclure from simpsons.) lol

[swift coyote]

hahaha

wow i didnt know there was a troy in the simpsons

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/hola-soy-troy-mcclure-gif-10692294

[swift coyote]

funny his hair is similar to mine

[harsh solar]

maybe they took inspiration from you

[swift coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/sweats-gif-25346666

aw no gif

[harsh solar]

what’s the difference between the getting noticed and other roles ?

[swift coyote]

not sure

maybe its just the level

[harsh solar]

yeah

[waxen apex]

Mail it to me. Now

[dull pilot]

it's like if you were an IRL skater. you start off unknown, but as you are part of the community, hit up your local shops, etc. you become known, or noticed. The more you become part of the community (interact here), the more you're well known.

[harsh solar]

ah i see!! thanks

[swift coyote]

but it is based on level right?

[dull pilot]

RE: permissions - i'm not a huge fan of "earning permissions" over others. So it's just a bit of bragging rights that you've been around (and helped be part of the greatness of the community).

yes, it's based on levels.

[swift coyote]

cool thx

[harsh solar]

awesome :3

i need to interact in this server more

[swift coyote]

so i cant earn gifs 😭

[dull pilot]

not in general. but there are channels you can post them.

[swift coyote]

yeah ngl its been awhile since ive talked on a public discord

[harsh solar]

i haven’t played skate in a lil bit just mainly been skating irl

[swift coyote]

okay

can u post inline skating clips in the irl skate clips channel?

[dull pilot]

noob boot clips?

jk

[swift coyote]

lmao

yes that 1

they are inline "skates" 😄

close enough right

i guess not 😔

[dull pilot]

i mean, it's for skateboarding.
i'd say go for it, and the vibe of this server is about love, so if someone gets sassy, don't take the bait.

[swift coyote]

oh yay nvm

thx

[cobalt dust]

morning

[harsh solar]

morning!

[scenic nova]

Same lol 😂

Did it twice on my main cuz it got reset

Half done on an old old 360 account

Done on my Alt

[worthy rune]

[scenic nova]

And like a bit done on every Alt I have

[worthy rune]

Wrong server lol mb

[worthy rune]

[scenic nova]

No joke I got invited by him, msg'd him on Xbox saying hi, and he responded then added me

We play a few times a week

[worthy rune]

i’ve played with efh many times he’s cool

[scenic nova]

And beats me 9 times out of 10

[scenic nova]

I rly wanna play with efh

I've been in a few games with Calplex on stream

[worthy rune]

i can beat efh in deathraces but not in games of skate (besides campus)

[scenic nova]

Probably same ngl

[worthy rune]

i’ll be all good until he sets an inward heel flip

[scenic nova]

Inward heels are ez if u manual before hand

For me at least

[worthy rune]

well i’m goofy so it’s easy for me to hardflip out of a manny

but inward heels i only get about 33% of the time

[scenic nova]

I'm in goofy too

U wanna play?

[worthy rune]

bro

i finally committed to dropping in

after a year cuz ive been doing tricks on flat and stuff but never got the courage to drop in

( i ate concrete )

[river egret]

learning process

[waxen apex]

I did that a couple weeks ago dropping in as well. TLDR: I was leaning too far forward

[vale anchor]

That's a first

Most of the time it's having that slight panic moment that makes you lean backward not wanting to send it face first.

[bold egret]

yesss thisss

[zealous root]

Yah

[ocean agate]

Money laundering bean makes tacos

Vegan edition

[strong obsidian]

praying to the heavens I finally get a invite to the test 🙏

[scenic gull]

First thing ima do when i finally play is a footplant a wall lol

[sudden warren]

Sup yall! Tldr on today's messages, miss anything good??

[waxen apex]

Sliced some dough off my elbow

[hidden bronze]

I’m waiting patiently for my 18th before I sign up for the Insider program

Besides, don’t have a PC, so I’m waiting for a console playtest, if such a thing will happen

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[sharp turtle]

do yall think the games gonna have like a good amount of clothes selection from earlier eras too? (early 2000's - 2010's)

[strong obsidian]

for sure

[solar panther]

Look if we have to see the game around 2025 imma be mad but it’s worth it

Or if console have to wait to even playtest the game around that time

[zenith sand]

alright lets see then what this game offers if it comes out

[sudden warren]

It's a randomly chosen pool. Your hours mean nothing to the gods of randomness

[cobalt dust]

lol

i love the underground glitch

[wide belfry]

okay explain me then the majority of emails im getting about updates on the playtest where i registered literally months ago and dont even get an invite?

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[loud carbon]

[sudden warren]

Honestly, not even really sure what the issue at hand is, but you gotta calm it down a bit

[sudden warren]

I also take this very personally lmao

[waxen apex]

How are you Huck?

[sudden warren]

Good good, time for bed soon. Hbu

[gleaming peak]

hi

[waxen apex]

Doing well!! Gonna play some Hitman and maybe some Skater XL after a good day at work!

[waxen apex]

Hi! How are you Nik?

[sudden warren]

Nice enjoy that bro

[gleaming peak]

good, u?

[waxen apex]

GREAT

[wicked oyster]

Can anyway tag the channel where it shows me I can download the nyc map for skate I can’t see any channels

[dull pilot]

Apparently, there's an issue with Discord caching. Log out and back in and you should see channels. Don't quit the server.

[gilded onyx]

I registered like 5-6 months ago or more and I haven’t been invited to one 😭

[amber mantle]

Only 5-6? You ain never getting in champ

[gilded onyx]

😂

[gilded onyx]

Why tho

[hidden bronze]

Stressing atm
My external hard drive with my more than half of my games on it (include Skate 3, which I felt like playing right now) is kicking the bucket all of a sudden

[high crest]

imo whole hype for skate4 is dead

[sudden warren]

Don't listen to them. People are chosen at random from a pool of (what I'd guess to be) 10s of thousands of players. There will be plenty of opportunities to test

[sudden warren]

Noooooo. On the bright side they aren't too expensive anymore

[sudden warren]

Luckily for the rest of us, it is def not dead

[hidden bronze]

Update on that situation haha
Thankfully I still had the saves and the game itself still on the Xbox, it was just installed on it
I actually got myself an upgrade from that whole ordeal

Using an 8 Terabyte external hard drive now

[sudden warren]

Heck yea haha. You'll never uninstall another Xb1 or 360 game again

[hidden bronze]

Yeah haha, the only inconvenience is downloading everything again, nothing lost, but I at least gained something out of it

[sudden warren]

Yea but at least that can happen in the background or while you sleep

[high crest]

rest of you are like maybe 2k people

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, for sure
Only the physical copies I have will need to be done one at a time, which is okay, I can do those last

[hidden bronze]

Two thousand? It seriously wouldn’t be that low

[gray fjord]

the game will probably pick up some proper steam again nearing launch, although personally I think it's doing fine hype wise

[hidden bronze]

Especially with Board Room, play-test highlights, among other announcements and contests

[sudden warren]

Oh yea good point. I was just thinking about my digital collection of game pass games lol

[hidden bronze]

Hah, yeah, I understand

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[hidden bronze]

I dunno man, the biggest hype was probably when the game was actually ‘announced’ officially

[high crest]

Yeah

[gray fjord]

Yeah, I always look forward to the playtest highlights and board room videos

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, they provide so much insight
Lots of fascinating stuff they’re doing, especially with all the new stuff like slappy grinds and wallies

[gray fjord]

Yeah, I'm excited to see those be built on

I love the highlights cause you can see the game evolving and progressing with each one

I don't plan on doing so

[hidden bronze]

I definitely won’t even think about it

Personally I’d prefer to actually support something I would enjoy doing, the proper way, when it’s fully finished

[gray fjord]

I'm fine with waiting for launch to download it on my console

[hidden bronze]

Same, waiting for possible console play-testing to happen, hopefully around when I’m 18 so I can join the Insider Program

[gray fjord]

I've been eagerly awaiting to see if anything pops up but I'd get it if that wasn't possible

Only game I've seen with a playtest on console was knockout city brawl, other than that it's just open betas

[hidden bronze]

Patience is definitely a virtue in cases like this, honestly

Crossed fingers and wishful thinking

[scenic gull]

Especially since you are on Sony. They hate early access. Hopefully it is out summer ‘24 🙏🏼

But sometimes i watch the boardroom and the devs are so honest and upfront. That i am left thinking, “oh this is def dropping ‘25.” Lol

[tardy raptor]

yea lol i can only wait for the ps5 release
i was like "hell yeah imma sign up for the beta" and right after registering realized my computer sucks so it wouldn't matter if i got in or not, it won't run
rip me lol

[hidden bronze]

Yeah… sucks, but hey, loyalty is well rewarded, I s’pose?

[gray fjord]

I very much like that they're consistent with the uploads on the board rooms and highlights

it kinda helps remind me the game exists, especially when I start to get hyperfixated on something unrelated to skateboarding, I will forget anything about the whole sport then

[scenic gull]

I love it. I wish smaller indie studios could have a routinely scheduled content drop like

Some only drop a Blog whenever they feel with no prior heads up. And some indies just straight do not communicate at all lol

[gray fjord]

Yeah, it especially sucks when you're really into whatever it is it may focus on

[sudden warren]

Be careful on this. No discussion about emulation or pirated and illegal copies of games is allowed here

[high crest]

ok

[waxen apex]

Morning

[waxen apex]

How are you today, Skyfi?

[vale anchor]

[waxen apex]

[brisk jetty]

I agree man, or just more transparency full stop

[scenic gull]

It is so true lol. Full circles routinely drops still have mystery as they never say the Day

But they are consistent with the monthly byproduct

[cobalt dust]

woke up with a horrible toothache

[summer aspen]

Anyone know if we need origin or the EA app to access this playtest?

[vale anchor]

Those details will be in the email of those who have received an invite

[vale anchor]

[gray fjord]

someone help chief he's drowning in his tears

[summer aspen]

Aw crap i dunno if i got in

[cobalt dust]

[dull pilot]

That was me the last two weeks - until Friday when I had 6 hour oral surgery.

Good luck.
Take ibuprofen + acetaminophen combined. 1-2 punch.

[main sleet]

origin is the ea app 😂

[summer aspen]

LOOL MB

[main sleet]

it was rebranded iirc

[vale oak]

I dont get it, do we have to sign up everytime we get a "new playtest available" email? or just the first time?

[fleet pulsar]

test

[dull pilot]

Click that link and you'll have your answer.

[vivid widget]

[true mural]

hype

[royal rapids]

This whole time i thought i was signed up to the playtest 🙃 whoops

[scenic gull]

🐱 for luck

[cinder basin]

I prob regret applying cuz my pc isn't strong enough to run high detail games 😔

[scenic temple]

I'm sure they're looking at how it runs on different hardware specs, especially lower and mid-range systems

[wraith snow]

don't talk abt the playtest publically, it says that in the emails people get, and in the informations the skate team links to

[obsidian torrent]

my bad og

[sudden warren]

And check #game-announcements

[wraith snow]

all good! just be carefull! idk what it could mean if u end up saying too much, but i doubt it would be good yk?

[sudden warren]

Everything you need is there!

[lusty lance]

Is there Playtesting for Xbox yet ?

[obsidian torrent]

[wraith snow]

no console testing atm

thinks its random people

[cinder basin]

ig ill wait for playstation testing then

[sudden warren]

It's random

[vale anchor]

Lots of things, but your friends are breaking NDA by telling you this and could lose their access

[hasty vortex]

idk why these invites are always click baited

[vale anchor]

They aren't.

[sudden warren]

Def not lol

[clever mantle]

about how long does it take for a modmail ticket to get a reply

[sudden warren]

Nah, so def don't take it personally. They want everyone to test, but we all gotta wait and see if we get chosen at random

[left drum]

Hey pals just curious, would any of the playtest invites be available for Xbox ? Probably not assuming it's only PC but hoping

[vale anchor]

However long it takes for the person who knows what's going on to respond

[sudden warren]

Pc only right now

[clever mantle]

sounds good, thank you

[sudden warren]

Console tests to come

[left drum]

Let's go I'm so hype to jam some new maps

[scenic temple]

I'm just hoping those of us down here in 'straya are going to be eligible

[vale anchor]

There is no confirmed date at this time

[sudden warren]

I'm not sure if the tests are region based honestly. Idk if there's any public info about that

[scenic temple]

Guess it's just a 'wait and see' situation then

[vale anchor]

If there is it would probably be in those terms that no one reads that might give the areas availability

[sudden warren]

Heheeee

[scenic temple]

Read the FAQ, there's definitely no info about regions

[sudden warren]

There isn't, I think Sky means the invites or preliminary emails that you would get

[wraith snow]

yea and im sure ea, would keep us hopefull skate fans updated, if europe couldnt playtest, america, etc.

[sudden warren]

@scenic temple this part from #game-announcements :
For those that were sent an email - you need to follow the instructions to register for the playtest or you won't get the second email to join the test when it starts.

[dull pilot]

Currently only PC playtesting. But, console testing is on the horizon.

[sudden warren]

Is what Sky may have meant*

[dull pilot]

We’ve not confirmed a release date.

It’ll drop…

[ornate tapir]

cannot wait

[waxen apex]

I can wait

[brisk plover]

I can't tell if I got in

I got the first email, but didn't get the second, but it also says I'm approved for the play test and it's in my calendar

[patent epoch]

It’s really good seeing the team taking their time because honestly that’s how so many games now a days fail because they either rushed it or it was still a work in progress and they just say screw it

[pallid stratus]

So what you're saying is I need to DM everyone on the mod team individually, got it 😄

[waxen apex]

I feel like I don't want to play it super early. But it would be cool to see how much it improves. I don't mind not having it asap

[waxen apex]

That's how you get in hot water

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/bold-strategy-dodgeball-cotton-strategy-tactics-gif-4957668

[patent epoch]

you’re not alone

Same here

[pallid stratus]

For real though, looking forward the future developments. The video looked great!

[grand mural]

Hey there, I applied for pc testing for so long and never got a single mail. Is it normal ? Thanks

[dull pilot]

LOTS of folks have registered.
The playtests aren't gigantic - yet.
And specific tests we're looking for specific types of players, etc. so make sure any surveys you get sent you fill out.
Just hang loose.

[brisk plover]

Does approved mean I'm in, or does it mean I was in the pool?

[obsidian torrent]

was asking the same thing

[brisk plover]

I didn't get the second email

[untold willow]

First one just means you're in the pool

2nd email is confirmation

[pallid stratus]

I will refuse to hold punches on my surveys. Especially with Street Fighter's recent Avatar costumes costing upwards to $15 for a single one not including the TMNT crossover

[brisk plover]

Thank you

🙏

[waxen apex]

From what I understand, if you get in it, it would be more businessy. PDFs and tons of links to different things I'm sure. It would also probably say that you were accepted into the specific playtest

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[dull pilot]

Honest, constructive feedback is critical.
Getting sassy or rude - not so much.
Keep that in mind - I'm not making accusations or whatnot, just something to be aware of when sharing feedback/thoughts.

[waxen apex]

Sounds like a normal survey to me

In my eyes it would be more obvioud

[dull pilot]

Sharing the contents of playtesting emails is a violation of the confidentiality agreement. Might want to not do that to avoid getting removed from playtesting completely; this includes survey emails.

[hoary sandal]

People really don’t understand what that NDA they sign is 😂

[pallid stratus]

Of course. Fight honest, not dirty I always say.

[lapis wharf]

why are we pinging for play tests like they haven't been happening for over a year

[frigid mirage]

yo

[cursive goblet]

I havent received a confirmation email, but on ea.arcsivr.com it states "approved" for tomorrow's playtest

will I be in?

[opal echo]

My bad lol

[dull pilot]

You didn't read the email about not discussing it, did you?

[grand mural]

Thanks for reply, I’m hanging loose no problemo. What is this about surveys ? Am I supposed to receive surveys?

[cursive goblet]

I didnt get any

[lapis wharf]

bro thought people were gonna read

[knotty roost]

This is ridiculous 💀

[hoary sandal]

Tbf I can’t read

[untold willow]

The email for confirmation is under NDA and you're not allowed to mention what's inside of it

[hoary sandal]

Jeff, get the lawyers ready

[dull pilot]

nah, just the mute button. if people can't help themselves, i can. 😉

[opal echo]

Nobody saw anything

[dull pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/lor-lord-of-the-rings-sauron-lord-sauron-the-great-eye-gif-17124185

[pallid stratus]

So while you're here, do you have any plans to work with event venues for community centric stuff? Or can you not say?

[hoary sandal]

How do I get mod and fun perms in here tho

[dull pilot]

I have plans within plans that I cannot discuss at this time.

[opal echo]

Must be seeing things

[lapis wharf]

ca Jeffery $2k

[hoary sandal]

Bet

[lapis wharf]

quick 2 bands 🚶

[dull pilot]

we're not taking mod applications.

[pallid stratus]

Fair, would be a fun idea to do like Skate. Meets or something with the game being community centric

[hoary sandal]

Darn, what about Applications to work on skate 🥸

[dull pilot]

oh, just you wait and see. it's gonna be dope.

[dull pilot]

jobs.ea.com

[lapis wharf]

ngl game needs a pvp mode while on the skateboards

[knotty roost]

They had a lot back when they announced the game, dont know what it’s lookin like now

[hoary sandal]

Can I make you my reference

[pallid stratus]

What, are we bringing back slap from Tony Hawk?

[hoary sandal]

I’ll need ur phone number, SSN, credit card information

Hehehe

[pallid stratus]

Also your first born

[lapis wharf]

meant wit like weapons that would be so hard

[dull pilot]

lemme get right on that. hahah

[random oyster]

Now that you mention it. Do you know what engine skate. Is being built in?

[dull pilot]

yes.

[lapis wharf]

skate will be made in clickteam fusion

[hoary sandal]

I remember the community job, I should of applied for it when i saw it cuz my resume is perfect for it

[knotty roost]

That’s a completely diff game you’re coming up with

[random oyster]

Is it frostbite?

[untold willow]

From googling it's not confirmed but people say Frostbite probably since that's what EA uses a lot

[pallid stratus]

I mean tbh a water gun summer event would be hilarious

[lapis wharf]

are you telling me sword fighting while on skateboards wouldn't fit the game

bro said is it frostbite I'm crying

[random oyster]

Yeah would seem logical but Jedi Survivor was made in unreal if I'm not mistaken

[dull pilot]

sorry about that ... you can't have my job.

[knotty roost]

Actual sword? No

[pallid stratus]

OMG partner with freaking super soakers or Nerf for like a summer event

[lapis wharf]

what kind of other sword is there

[knotty roost]

Nerf like the guy above you said

[opal echo]

I work for you when you’re sick

[dull pilot]

Most studios within EA use Frostbite or a version of it. Respawn likes Unreal.

[lapis wharf]

This guy seems like a worthy candidate

[untold willow]

Respawn pretty cool ngl

[dull pilot]

i appreciate it. i rarely am sick. but i appreciate the teamwork.

[knotty roost]

Respawn can use unreal because the money they make lmao

[lapis wharf]

respawn sucks

[dull pilot]

we don't do that here. this place is a place of good vibes. we don't denigrate other studios or games - whether their EA studios or not.

[lapis wharf]

only real good dev team is full circle and even then their team is so small

[hoary sandal]

What if I say please

[knotty roost]

Whoa lets not act like they didnt make jedi survivor

[hoary sandal]

It wasn’t the manager position I think, just a regular community position lol

[knotty roost]

And titanfall

[lapis wharf]

titanfall is so mid

[dull pilot]

why does everyone keep saying "Full Circle is small". Do you know how many folks work at Full Circle?

[untold willow]

I just want my TitanFall 3

[dull pilot]

sidekick!
let's roll..

[random oyster]

It they all stand together how big would the circle be?

[dull pilot]

not sure, but i know it would be.... full.

hahaahah

[sleek night]

Did any of y'all get to play test skate today

[lapis wharf]

is it not like 10 people

[hoary sandal]

https://tenor.com/view/batman-robin-gif-20625130

[untold willow]

I thought it was only Jeff who works at Full Circle tbh

[knotty roost]

If anyone did they wouldn’t be able to talk about it legally

[dull pilot]

no. it's not. at least 20x that.

[sleek night]

Wait what is the getting started role about

[random oyster]

[sleek night]

Oh yeah

[untold willow]

Jeff is the entire Circle

[lapis wharf]

there's no way full circle has 200 members I refuse to believe that

[untold willow]

It's an EA studio lmao

Why would it not have a lot

[lapis wharf]

they make 1 game

[grand mural]

Can anyone answer me about this surveys thing? Am I supposed to receive it or should I ask for it ? It’s been a year I’m on this discord. Thanks 🤘🏻

[dull pilot]

okay. i like to also be wrong and double-down sometimes. not publicly, but you do you, buddy.

[lapis wharf]

bro owned me ngl

[dull pilot]

they're random surveys sent out. if you get one, make sure to fill it out.

[grand mural]

Ok cheers

[lapis wharf]

retiring from skate. cord jeffery just cooked me bruh

[sleek night]

Yo Jeffrey how is it possible to do that trick on your profile banner

[hoary sandal]

Years of training

[dull pilot]

standing front-flip toss board.

[sleek night]

Is it hard to do it?

[untold willow]

Looking closey it's front grab frontflip then holding the board out I don't remember the name then letting the board go at its peak

[dull pilot]

idk. it's not my clip. it's been a meme for Skate 3 since.. meme-gifs got popular.

[hoary sandal]

I like how it goes from nothing happening to in a blink of an eye chaos

[lapis wharf]

Jeff you def listen to 90s rock

[sleek night]

Are you talking about Jeffreys profile banner?

[hoary sandal]

Yes

[sleek night]

Ok lol

[dull pilot]

i like almost all music, but as Gen X, yeah, 90s was the heyday of music for my generation.

[sleek night]

Yo Jeffrey are you like a developer for skate or something?

[lapis wharf]

guns n roses ac/dc aerosmith am I in the ball park

blink 182

[dull pilot]

i used to. more into 90s rap and alternative, punk & ska, metal.

[lapis wharf]

you like avenged sevenfold?

[knotty roost]

One thing im really looking forward to besides the gameplay of skate man, the music

[dull pilot]

some of their older stuff.

[lapis wharf]

killer playlist

[lapis wharf]

real af what about deftones

[sleek night]

I still haven't gotten the chance to play test skate I hope I do soon

[dull pilot]

up to and including White Pony. after that, not so much.

[lapis wharf]

yeah completely fair

[sleek night]

Also what is the getting started role for

[random oyster]

Amen! I'm not worried tho, every time a playtest highlight video appears on YouTube it has great music. So I'm pretty confident they are once again gonna ace it and deliver another killer soundtrack with the game

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[faint wyvern]

Feels bad that people are leaking emails are going out and stuff, the whole point of not saying when emails go out is that only active people who can give feedback get in the preprealpha

[dull pilot]

just shows you're in the server, being part of the community.
it's like if you started skating at a park, on your way to become a pro. You're "getting started". Then you're "getting noticed", etc.

[lapis wharf]

isn't it level based

[sleek night]

Oh ok thanks for telling me 👍

[dull pilot]

yeah.

[lapis wharf]

yeah forgot about that

[sleek night]

I hope skate comes out sometime this year

[lapis wharf]

end of next year prob

[faint wyvern]

It probably wont be. They want to do it right

[sudden warren]

30 minute meeting = 200 missed messages lmao

[hoary sandal]

Rawr

[random oyster]

When they are ready prob

[lapis wharf]

😴

[sleek night]

I think they said that it will maybe come out late 2023

[lapis wharf]

yeah they never said that

[dull pilot]

we never said that.

[sleek night]

Probably

[hoary sandal]

Subtle flex ur more important than us 🤣

Meeting man😎

[sleek night]

Oh ok mb

[sudden warren]

No I mean from this channel!

Happy to see everyone hanging out haha

[faint wyvern]

I’m personally assuming early-mid 2025 but thats no guarantee just a guess, how about you guys?

[hoary sandal]

We are teaching people how NDA’s work

[lapis wharf]

you think it'd be self explanatory

[dull pilot]

frontflip superdude to deck toss (triangle or Y) the board at the pedestrian.

[untold willow]

Ah gotcha

[hoary sandal]

Reedng iz hurd

[sleek night]

I don't even know exactly

[faint wyvern]

NDAs are basically just big secrets but you get in trouble if you dont follow them

[untold willow]

I should play Skate 3 again but it wasn't working on my Xbox for some reason last time I tried playing it

[lapis wharf]

leaking anything does nothing for the community unless you're into leaked music

[sleek night]

I actually have skate 3 on my PS3

[lapis wharf]

like you're just hurting yourself if you leak something for a game

[random oyster]

My guess is late 2024 with a 1.0 and it will get even better with time. Just like destiny 2

[faint wyvern]

It quite literally just demotivates the devs, nothing else

[lapis wharf]

demotivates devs and spoils parts of the game it's a lose lose 👍

[sleek night]

Does anyone else here have a PS3 and also is skate 3 cross platform with Xbox 360

[untold willow]

Me trying not to look at MK1 spoilers lmao

[lapis wharf]

I'm dreading mk1 coming out

[untold willow]

I'm waiting for Thursday and there's so many leaks

[dull pilot]

correct. and honestly, it creates issues with us (dev team, community team) in being open and transparent.

PLUS - it can get your whole account banned. (and we can find folks.)

the worst part, it sets incorrect expectations with folks because leakers do not have (or share) context of what they're leaking.

[sleek night]

Are you talking about mk1

[untold willow]

Yeah

[sleek night]

Ok

[untold willow]

Already got spoiled on some things

[lapis wharf]

there is not a single person that benefits from video game leaks I will never understand why people do it

[dull pilot]

it is not. PS3 and Xbox 360 weren't cross-play compatible. that didn't hit the industry really until PS4/Xbox One.

[sleek night]

Lol

[hoary sandal]

I just wanna play the new skate

[random oyster]

I love the comments on those videos like: "it doesn't look good" hahaha pre pre pre alpha stuff

[lapis wharf]

I have no doubt you guys can find leakers lol especially with ea backing you

[sleek night]

Oh ok

[untold willow]

Wasn't the first crossplay game like Rocket League?

[dull pilot]

10 seconds of internet fame. that's about it.
the bad part is when the leakers are like "i'm a huge fan - i'm doing this for the community!"
no, no you're not. you're doing it for internet points and false popularity.

[sudden warren]

Cs go! Hahaa

[lapis wharf]

judging graphics is insane it's like people completely ignore the fully rendered scenes and those aren't even done

[dull pilot]

that sounds familiar.

[sleek night]

Well does anyone here have a PS3 if y'all do then if you would wanna play skate 3 with me it would be fun

[lapis wharf]

like the fully rendered scenes in the trailers look good

[sage sky]

i do

[lapis wharf]

just sad

[vale anchor]

Same... but I just wanted to eat soup in peace

[hoary sandal]

Will send toe pics for play test access

[sleek night]

You do have a PS3?

[sudden warren]

Oh wait CS go was pc and ps3 cross compat

[vale anchor]

Don't be weird

[sage sky]

@sleek night yes my psn USnoor ill be on later

[sudden warren]

Haha respect!

[dull pilot]

what will you take to NOT send toe pics?

[hoary sandal]

Sarcasm

[sleek night]

Alright bet

[random oyster]

But there's also the way of Nacon with test drive unlimited solar crown. They are trying to make it look good but it's not polished and frame rates are not great and that also brings so many hater comments. It's so sad to see that there's just not 1 good way to do it other then finish first and only then show

[vale anchor]

And?

[hoary sandal]

Also Play test access 🤣

[sleek night]

A conversation that's what you walked into

[untold willow]

Dang rip gif

[sleek night]

Yo v could you accept my friend request

[lapis wharf]

Jeff

[untold willow]

Gifs don't work for us or did the link break?

[sage sky]

ok wait

[lapis wharf]

let me put you on some music

[lilac prism]

That's an awesome emote

[random oyster]

Yes

[dull pilot]

gifs for non staff don't work in general. (to avoid spamtasticness).

[scenic onyx]

Is it against rules to ask about the emails? Apologies if so lol

[untold willow]

Ah gotcha

[dull pilot]

#announcements

[scenic onyx]

@dull pilot understood, but i had a question. If second wave have already been sent or just the first?

[hoary sandal]

They never learn…

[faint wyvern]

[hoary sandal]

[lapis wharf]

it's insane

[untold willow]

Who's dog is that it's adorable

[vale anchor]

Jeff's

[faint wyvern]

Mine (im lying)

[lilac prism]

Just got my Skate. decks today, my brother is jealous 😅

[dull pilot]

that's my dog, Kuma. he's an Alaskan Klee Kai.

[untold willow]

Awwww

[hoary sandal]

I want to pet the good doggo

[lapis wharf]

best dog I've seen in a min

[dull pilot]

https://instagram.com/tailsofkuma

[untold willow]

I liked that you named him Kuma (bear)

[scenic onyx]

Didnt ask when it started. I asked if emails was sent. Which is already stated in previous post elsewhere its just unclear. But alright cool i guess.

[hoary sandal]

Followed immediately

[dull pilot]

he's got his own IG. (he's also got a bunch of pics on Getty Images and various Pet sites.)

[lapis wharf]

last post may 22 😔

[untold willow]

Oh my god that's so adorable

[lilac prism]

There's a twitter as well afaik

[dull pilot]

yeah, I need to get back into posting more for him. lack of thumbs makes him terrible at updating his social channels. 😉

[lapis wharf]

they pay you good for that?

[sleek night]

Yo @sage sky were you gonna accept my friend request?

[dull pilot]

nope. not a cent. but that's okay. sharing his cuteness with the world is payment enough

[lapis wharf]

they scammed you bruh 😭😭

should be paying you well for a dog that cute

[untold willow]

Kuma is 8 now?

[dull pilot]

7. He turned 7 on Feb 26.

[vale anchor]

Same age as my doggo

[lilac prism]

There should be a Skate deck in game for him

[vale anchor]

He's not as cute, far more goof

[untold willow]

Oh I saw the date wrong my bad

[dull pilot]

We got him 6 months after my wife and I got married - because I was traveling a lot for work and she wanted a dog.

[scenic onyx]

So since im not suckin up to the mod i just get ignored? Lol figured community would be a little better than tht.

Glhf to all

[vale anchor]

...

[untold willow]

No you just can't talk about the emails lol

[lilac prism]

🤔

[untold willow]

Well just the 2nd one technically

[vale anchor]

Earth probably gone by then but we still shreddin in skate

[half bronze]

oh wow thats a sticker, i guess people ask that alot

[untold willow]

I literally just used it for a word??

[half bronze]

that age restriction is genuinely stupid

[errant topaz]

i read the e-mail i just wonder if it's too late or not, same for the FAQ, nothing related to my question

[half bronze]

like i see why its in place but a large portion of skates fanbase is under 18

[errant topaz]

or maybe i read wrong

[vale anchor]

Unfortunately legal stuff do be like that

[half bronze]

yeah i get it

[untold willow]

Sorry your questions can't be answered

[half bronze]

im curious as to how controls are gonna work in skate 4 if you dont actually have a controller, because skate was made for controller i cant see the control scheme translating well to pc

[untold willow]

We're gonna have to wait and see

[half bronze]

ah, alright

[vale anchor]

I have no way of answering that because that's part of the secret sauce recipe I don't have access to (and probably can't be discussed here in a public forum because of NDA and all that jazz). There should be information in your emails though and that's as much as I know

[random oyster]

It comes with an external gyroscopic chip you need to put on the bottom of your keyboard. Then you need to flick the keyboard just as you want the skate board to flick

[errant topaz]

I think I missed my chance, thanks though !

[vale anchor]

If you did, then the good news is you're still in it for the future to look forward to

[untold willow]

It's confirmed to play on PC you need the Tony Hawk Ride skateboard controller

That's the only way

[random oyster]

Then you also need VR

[half bronze]

ah, i feel there should be an alternative to buying a physical extension to a keyboard though

[random oyster]

There is! They also made a helmet where you put your mouse in it on the top. Then for a kick/heel flip you flip your head upwards and to the side in one fluid motion

[untold willow]

You also need the wii nunchuck

Not the wii controller just the nunchuck

[scenic nova]

And the Wii gun remote

Can't forget that

[untold willow]

Yep

[random oyster]

That could work though

[half bronze]

honestly i feel like that would work really well

[glacial ether]

LOL applied for playtest well over 10 times still havent been chosen lovely stuff skate

[zenith sand]

Check #frequently-asked-questions-and-more and https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq for info on Playtesting.

[scenic nova]

No need to apply numerous times

1 is enough

Ur in their system

[sleek night]

I can't send you a friend on PS3 because of your friend request setting thing

[scenic nova]

Just wait

[sleek night]

Just add me my username is PhoenixGG123

[vale anchor]

Applying more than once doesn't increase chances

[untold willow]

It acts as if you only applied once

[robust topaz]

woah skate 4

[scenic temple]

Well yes, but actually no

[robust topaz]

lol yeah it's just called skate.

[untold willow]

It is technically the 4th game in the series known as Skate

[scenic temple]

Skate It: "Am I a joke to you?"

[sudden warren]

^

[robust topaz]

idk how I feel about it, it seems like they're making it as a grand finale or some sort of reboot

new skate series? probably not

[untold willow]

Yes it's a joke to me

[ornate tapir]

Are emails still being sent out?

[deft cliff]

I really hope so.

[scenic temple]

From what I understand (but I could be completely wrong), it's going to be a live service game (one game, ongoing future content and updates).

[deft cliff]

To get an email is like a birthday gift. Except I didn't receive an email on my birthday.

[untold willow]

Yeah it's confirmed to be F2P

[glacial ether]

bloody should do

[vale anchor]

[glacial ether]

lol ik ik :c

[random oyster]

Hello, what's improved over almond milk v1?

[scenic temple]

Does v2 deal with the almond milk smelling like feet?

[robust topaz]

oh ok (sorry late reply had to do smth)

[untold willow]

So I heard some leaks and stuff about the new skate game and apparently there's going to be skateboards in the game that you can skate on???

[scenic temple]

That was a bit of misinformation - the whole game world is going to be on the back of a giant skateboard

[robust topaz]

💀

[sudden warren]

I'm in

[robust topaz]

anyone here played touchgrind skate 2 on mobile? it's actually kinda good, I'm sick at it

lol

[dull pilot]

yuuuup.

[dull pilot]

it's the evolution of the franchise.

it's not a sequel, remake, remaster, or reboot.
it's learning from the past games, respecting the legacy, and building the future of the franchise.
we've removed barriers of entry like platform and cost (5 platforms at launch - and we're looking at mobile) and it's free to play.
cross-platform, cross-progression (so you can play with friends on other platforms or join them on their platform - and not have to start over)

the one we're developing? they couldn't say if they did.
if you mean Skate 1 (2007), for sure.

[sudden warren]

Something tells me the Coach Frank bot isn't gonna respond

[scenic temple]

The highlights definitely look fun at least

[wraith snow]

yes, the (2007 version) honestly an amazing game! rlly ahead of its time!

right?

[sage sky]

@dull pilot how come skate 2 wasnt brought to xbox game pass but 1 and 3 was

[iron ruin]

one day, ima have it one day

[wraith snow]

ye, i make edits

agreed! but its still lacking alot of stuff, so- it gets boring from time to time

u can, turn on lip tricks in the experimental section, JL Nightmare has an amazing video on how to master the controls for it!

[scenic gull]

grabs would be awesome

[dull pilot]

Licensing

[wraith snow]

@scenic gull miniiiii

Woooo

[scenic gull]

ayyye 🤙 im hyped for the next Boardroom, wonder what theme is next

[wraith snow]

Uuuuu same! When is it dropping? We just got a new one sooo

[lethal notch]

Yo

[sudden warren]

Sup nic

[lethal notch]

Not much, just enjoying some trailmix as usual

[sudden warren]

Haha had some chex mix last week, it hits

[lethal notch]

I could go on for hours about how good trailmix is economically, environmentally, and personally.

But I need to get back to work

[sudden warren]

Lmaoo

[crimson glen]

welp another playtest and no invite

[sudden warren]

I promise you guys shouldn't be taking it personally. Hundreds and probably thousands of people don't get in

[crimson glen]

[crimson glen]

#frequently-asked-questions-and-more

[harsh solar]

hey guys!

ooo i’m a different shade of green :0

[noble stream]

no email Sadge

[hidden bronze]

Sup kei!

[obtuse grove]

https://tenor.com/view/business-gif-5598723

[harsh solar]

heyo! how are you

[hidden bronze]

I’m good! Got exactly 7 days till I graduate from high school
Time flew too fast hahaha

[harsh solar]

jeez time has been flying lately, hope you have fun at your graduation !!!

[hidden bronze]

I will, should be super awesome

[waxen apex]

Let's go man!! Is the end of the semester usually pretty chill in AUS schools?

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, it’s typically good fun
If I wasn’t graduating, I’d get a two week holiday, go back for another 10 weeks or so, then get a 6 week holiday till February the following year

Going on a ten day cruise a bit just after I graduate too

So that’s super fun

[waxen apex]

Ay let's go, man! That sounds like fun. I've never been on a cruise

[hidden bronze]

I’ve been on 3 of them
Been planning this one for 3 years though, and it goes for 10 days

Got delayed for ages due to Covid

[waxen apex]

Oh wow. I can guess why it's been on hold for 3 years. 10 days sounds amazing

[hidden bronze]

They gave us $900 dollars of on ship credit for the inconvenience, so it’s gonna be so good

[waxen apex]

Holy mackerel

How many people are going?

[hidden bronze]

And that’s US, too

[waxen apex]

Wow. Thanks for converting it

[hidden bronze]

Me and my mum, as well as two close family friends who are probably gonna do their own thing

[waxen apex]

Gotcha. That's not as many people as I expected

[hidden bronze]

All prices on the cruise are in US, so yeah, didn’t have a choice 😂

[waxen apex]

Ah

[hidden bronze]

Yeah, me neither, had a lot of people drop out of it
We had a lot more, but they couldn’t afford it, and couldn’t manage being on a cruise for 10 days straight

[waxen apex]

I understand that

[hidden bronze]

The only annoying thing about this cruise, is that we’re on the second-last floor at the bottom of the ship

[waxen apex]

Idk how bad that is

[hidden bronze]

So either lots of waiting for the elevator, or going up 13 flights of stairs every time we wanna go to the deck

Gonna have such crazy calf muscles after all that walking up and down

[dull pilot]

Per the email, you shouldn't be discussing it publicly.

[loud carbon]

😍

[scenic gull]

Am i drunk? Looks like the same green as all else

[amber mantle]

i wonder how the release of Skate will effect games like Session and SkaterXL. I think it will make them more popular if anything

[loud carbon]

i personally dont think it will affect them at all, not hurt them or make them more popular

[naive cairn]

I assume the email I got asking me to complete a survey for antitode coins, has nothing to do with registering for skate?

I seem to remember registering back when it first came about, but unsure

[scenic gull]

I like session.but i am so hyped for skate.

[vale anchor]

Yoooo I'm going on a 10 day in November

[vale anchor]

Definitely not

[hidden bronze]

Oh hell yeah! What’s your route like?

[harsh solar]

it’s slightly different, i just had the citizens role before but now i have getting started

[vale anchor]

I actually don't remember lol
I just know it's an eastern Caribbean cruise

[hidden bronze]

Ooh, awesome
Mine’s due to leave 8th of October, from Sydney, up to the Great Barrier Reef, a few islands here and there, then back down after a bit

[vale anchor]

Wow that sounds amazing!

[hidden bronze]

It definitely will be! I’m so excited for it, and it’s right after my graduation, which just makes it even more special!

I’m honestly just excited to try all the food on the ship hahaha

Love trying new stuff like that

[vale anchor]

What line/ship?

[hidden bronze]

Carnival Splendor

[vale anchor]

Oh nice! I've only been on the Magic by carnival, but it was fun. We're Royal Caribbean people here. Old people are my people lol

[hidden bronze]

I’ve been on P&O as well, their ships are great too

Did a 3 day cruise on one of those

[vale anchor]

(but for real, everyone being older means most of the stuff is not in use OR you end up making friends with an old couple in their 70s ready to go zip lining)

[hidden bronze]

Ahaha, I getcha

I’m kinda glad it’s just me and my mum, that means I sort of get to have free reign of the ship while she chills by the pool

Then we can occasionally meet up for lunch, dinner, or whenever the ship docks off the shore of an island so we can do activities together

[loud carbon]

w

[vale anchor]

Sounds like a perfect chill time

[scenic gull]

Oo i think i notice it now!

[timid flame]

If only I knew what email to look out for
My email has thousands of spam emails lol
