general-discussion

[tacit trail]

That is very true!

[sudden warren]

Good day to all! Hope yall have a good one

[wraith snow]

u too Huck! got any interesting plans for the day? :D

[sudden warren]

Workkkkkkk

[gray fjord]

Good day to you too, my day was pretty good

[sudden warren]

Glad to hear that. Anything worth noting?

[wraith snow]

ahh! a true classic!

[gray fjord]

Ate KFC after being on a carnivorous diet for the past, month I think?

Haven't been keeping track but definitely near the beginning of Feb

[wraith snow]

whats that diet about? like what would u consume?

and then u went for KFC? that sounds delicious!

[gray fjord]

You eat meat, basic jist of it, fats, butter, and milk are alright too

It's an elimination diet, strip to the basics

[wraith snow]

ahhh i see!

[gray fjord]

I didn't expect it to do much for me but I've lost over 10 kg following it

[sudden warren]

That's awesome

[gray fjord]

Yeah, I'm quite happy with the progress it's shown

That and it's helped me work on my cooking skills

[gray fjord]

The KFC was quite delicious but, almost too flavourful (doesn't help that I had ice cream afterwards)

[wraith snow]

thats awesome!

[hidden bronze]

Oh, sup everyone
Was hoping for some activity
How is everyone?

[wraith snow]

ahhh i see!

[wraith snow]

we're active as heck in here rn

[gray fjord]

Hey, I'm pretty good, how are you?

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/exercise-workout-jogging-gif-8231926

[hidden bronze]

Doing good, living life
Listening to kwasi kao and playing Session at the moment

[hidden bronze]

I was flicking between servers hoping for signs of life hahaha

[gray fjord]

Nice, I was listening to Token and playing Session earlier

Couldn't get a trick down so I gave up and went to "bed"

[hidden bronze]

I just throw tricks down and take photos of whatever looks tight

Did a Dark 50-50 that I was pretty happy with

[gray fjord]

I've been meaning to take photos in Session but I can never get anything I like

[hidden bronze]

I can post a few in #creative if you need any inspo

That’s what I do most of the time anyways lol

[gray fjord]

if it's possible, then I would appreciate that

[hidden bronze]

For sure for sure

[sudden warren]

One day I'll focus some time and get better at session

[gray fjord]

It's fun to get tricks down in it

[vale anchor]

That's helped out some of my own gut issues. Nice reset type thing

But also, this is the first time I've heard KFC to be too flavorful. I tend to find it more on the bland side haha

[gray fjord]

KFC here is the most popular store lol, there's more KFC than McDonald's afaik

In my town anyways

The cooks at my local one really kill it with everything on the menu

[vale anchor]

If you don't mind sharing, where are you from?

[wraith snow]

i have to drive for 1 hour if i wanna go to the nearest KFC

[gray fjord]

and they're not stingy with the sauce

[hidden bronze]

It’s so fun to play, I’m more into the difficulty anyways

[gray fjord]

Australia

[hidden bronze]

Ayy, lets go mate

[wraith snow]

AUSSIE

[gray fjord]

I gotta walk for like, 2 minutes lol

[hidden bronze]

Twinsies

[vale anchor]

Oh cool!

[gray fjord]

We should be in bed then, considering the time

[wraith snow]

i just drank a monster energy called aussie lemonade, so im basically also from Australia

[gray fjord]

Basically yeah

[hidden bronze]

Haha yeah, I’m a bit of a night owl though

[vale anchor]

That's how that works. Can confirm as a non Aussie

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/ric-flair-wwe-wrestling-wrestler-wooo-gif-17797049

[gray fjord]

I've been trying to work it out of me, I used to stay up till 4 am almost every night lol

[sudden warren]

Yea it's nice to have a newer challenge and learn how to play a game like session.

[hidden bronze]

I wish I could share the rare pleasures our fine country has to offer with you non-aussies hahaha

[gray fjord]

We just got Wendy's I'm pretty sure, idk if that's any good

[hidden bronze]

100% man, I’m all there for it
I take tons of pictures on it too, took at least 30 over the past few hours

[hidden bronze]

Oh yeah, so I’ve heard aye? I actually do wonder if that’ll be alright

[gray fjord]

I've heard good things about them

And they do shakes, I'm hoping they're close to Krushers

[hidden bronze]

Omg yes, I miss those desperately

[gray fjord]

I'd always get one anytime I went to the mall

[hidden bronze]

On the topic of shakes, the Carl’s Jr milkshakes are pretty good, I’ve tried them once

[gray fjord]

I don't think I've heard of them

Looking them up shows that there are like, none near me

[hidden bronze]

Another non-aussie fast food chain, not many locations here in the country I think

[gray fjord]

Ah, go figure then

Probably wouldn't make one in a small town then lol

Local food here is good anyways, although they seem to have some good looking food

[hidden bronze]

Gotta love a local spot

[wraith snow]

im banned from Carls Jr in all of Denmark

[hidden bronze]

My only local chip shop is closing soon tho ):

Oh

[sudden warren]

Yea I've seen some of your posts. Very photogenic game

[wraith snow]

(i got fired from a supermarket who has the same mother company as Carls Jr here, and apparently that meant a fulltime ban from Carls Jr Denmark)

[hidden bronze]

It very much is, Huckman
The photographer within me can never resist its beauty

[hidden bronze]

That’s crazy 💀

[wraith snow]

I KNOW?!?!? i got fired because i was "too sick" while working, due to some depresso espresso stuff, so they fired me which, fair, it makes sense- i couldnt attend my job.

BUT A LIFETIME BAN FROM CARLS JR?!?!?

now thats where i draw the line
(ive never been to carls jr)

[vale anchor]

Oh you weren't joking lol

[hidden bronze]

That is WILD

Tht really sucks, Carls jr is so damn good

[gray fjord]

That's both funny and not lmao

[vale anchor]

Do they ID check you at the entrance?

[hidden bronze]

In equal measures haha

[vale anchor]

Because... Yeah

[wraith snow]

its so hillarious, cause theres so little carls jr's in Denmark, that ive never even seen one LMAO

[wraith snow]

nah, so they would never know, i think its more of a "if u try and ever get a job here, ur OUT."

[hidden bronze]

Yikes

[gray fjord]

and now you'll never be in one

So nothing has changed really

[wraith snow]

i mean, i do like burger king LMAO

or what is it u Aussies call it like

hungry jacks

or smth-

[gray fjord]

HJ babyyy

[hidden bronze]

I’ve always been impartial to Hungry Jacks

I don’t go to them often

[gray fjord]

I used to get it often, I especially loved their whopper

[vale anchor]

"No, I don't want you to pay me, I want to pay you"
"Oh well in that case you aren't banned in that way"

[gray fjord]

But my local one is like, filled with people talking and dancing on the job, which leads to long wait times, and the food is bad usually

[wraith snow]

i love their strawberry milkshake fr

[hidden bronze]

I’m one of those guys who gets called un-Australian (jokingly) because I don’t like typical Aussie things

[gray fjord]

For a few times in a row, the chicken burgers were all raw, and they didn't say anything about it til a week later

[vale anchor]

Bruh

[wraith snow]

whaaaaaaaat?! u dont like uhhh... yk that uhhh

steve irwin guy?

[hidden bronze]

Oh, no, I love that dude, everyone does

[gray fjord]

I've been called American, and/or British

[hidden bronze]

I mean things like… fairy bread, cordial, vegemite

[hidden bronze]

I am a mix of one of those things haha

[wraith snow]

ive never tried vegemite, but ive heard its next level bad

[vale anchor]

I don't know what any of that is

[hidden bronze]

Very strange alien things, I assure you

[gray fjord]

I'm only Australian cause I was born here lol, no Australian blood is in me

[vale anchor]

Tony and Ryan podcast has been very enlightening to Aussie culture for me lol

[gray fjord]

You should listen to aunty donna

Australian comedy trio, I love their stuff

[hidden bronze]

I’m Aboriginal, so I have a bit of a connection to my mob’s land

[gray fjord]

Ah yeah, I'm Kurdish and Maori, so, I have no connection to this place

[hidden bronze]

Ah fair, that’s understandable

[gray fjord]

I've always kinda thought about leaving this place and going to New Zealand

It looks beautiful over there

[hidden bronze]

I’ve got a cousin heading up there for work in the near future, and my sister vacationed there too

Lovely place

[gray fjord]

I've got distant family over there so it'd be nice to meet them

I think, the only place I've ever liked in Australia properly was the Gold Coast

They had an Elvis concert there on the same day as my birthday

[hidden bronze]

Been there done that as well haha, awesome spot

[gray fjord]

The hungry jacks there was really good

And they had a Ben & Jerry's

[vale anchor]

Hey I recognize that reference!

[hidden bronze]

I went to a place that did ribs near Surfers Paradise, was super good

[wraith snow]

where the reference?! where who what?! i need to knoooooooooooow

[gray fjord]

Captain America??

[vale anchor]

Ben & Jerry's
Finally words I know lol

[gray fjord]

I think I went to a similar place

[wraith snow]

OHHH

[hidden bronze]

Hurricanes?

[gray fjord]

Their ice cream is so addictive

[gray fjord]

Sounds familiar, big round table that surrounded the cooks?

[hidden bronze]

I believe so? I’ll have all look online

[gray fjord]

Their chips were really good

I had my face burried in my 3ds playing smash, so, I didn't pay too much attention around me but I remember the round table thing

[hidden bronze]

I can’t find anything about the cooks, but the bar is in the middle of everything, big and square

[gray fjord]

Could be I'm misremembering that part

[hidden bronze]

Maybe, but I have a feeling we were at the same place

Just a hunch

[gray fjord]

Looks incredibly familiar, I think that was the place

Memory is a bit hazy, again, face in 3ds, but the images online look very familiar so, I think I was there at some point

The round tables was probably a different place

Ahh wait I remember now, I was at one of the round tables eating chips

[hidden bronze]

Ah, that’s it!

There we go, memory unlocked!!

[gray fjord]

Nice to remember that place ngl

I even remember that I wasn't on my 3ds, I was on my iPad playing Pac-Man

[hidden bronze]

Food there is fantastic
Was the first time I had a steak that wasn’t well done, and it changed me forever hahaha

[gray fjord]

I love me a rare steak

I should probably head to bed now, I gotta be up in like, 3 or so hours

[hidden bronze]

I ordered a well done steak, it came to the table as a medium rare/medium well
Ate it anyways and it was so much better

[hidden bronze]

All good, I wouldn’t wanna keep ya from some ZZZ’s

[gray fjord]

Yeah lol

Have a good one Massa

[hidden bronze]

You too

[vale anchor]

Of course it was. It's always better than rubber

[hidden bronze]

Hah, you know it

[waxen apex]

Morning

[dull pilot]

FYI -

Skate 3 (Xbox) digital is $3.99 right now.
https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/skate-3/bnkdkqxmxrr2

[waxen apex]

Woah

[violet tapir]

What a steal

[scenic gull]

Got my digital copy for $4 a few years ago

with inflation, it's more of a steal than ever!

[acoustic pasture]

🔥

I think i have 3 copies but why not 4 😂

[wraith snow]

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

love that

(i dont have an xbox, but its still cool)

haha

[scenic gull]

I used to have 2 disc copies before that

one was stolen and the other was eaten by my 360 which i didn't even bump

only disc it ever scratched

[dull pilot]

One of the best screenshots I've ever seen for Skate 3:
https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/square_medium/8/83365/1757288-1712224.jpg

[wraith snow]

its kinda giving

"how i feel 10 years after an argument took place, and i finally have the perfect comeback"

[dull pilot]

HAHAH

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/lmao-laughing-hysterically-gif-26398146

[dull pilot]

Which game would that be?

[rigid kraken]

I mean the only game that is relevant to this server :v unless there are multiple skate games that I am unaware of

[acoustic pasture]

👀

[rigid kraken]

In beta testing that is

[radiant latch]

Wish we had the PS4- or ps5 versions on sale

[dull pilot]

Just curious why you'd talk about playtesting when it's under NDA, discussing being part of a playtest is a violation of the Playtesting Agreement and can lead to your removal from the playtesting program - as noted in ⁠
#game-announcements message

[rigid kraken]

I wont spoil stuff

[dull pilot]

Discussing being invited is breaking the NDA.

[rigid kraken]

Oh my bad :P

[radiant latch]

https://tenor.com/view/adam-levine-embarrassed-gif-21343983

[dull pilot]

You should read agreements before agreeing to them.

[dull pilot]

always

[scenic gull]

Question

[wraith snow]

Bold statement.

[scenic gull]

I try to astound Icl

[worthy rune]

yeah there will be more

[dull pilot]

not if you talk about it publicly like this.

[rigid kraken]

ok i read the thing it seems like I can mention that i am a part of the playtest, and that it exists, unless something is wrong? i have a screenshot if it helps...

I'd be happy to get some clarification in DMs

[dull pilot]

No, you cannot.
You can mention you signed up. That's it. Mentioning you're part of the playtest is a violation of the NDA and will result in action here in Discord (mutes/bans) and possible action against your EA account (removal from the playtest or all playtesting).

[rigid kraken]

Ok but that last sentence seems confusing.

mind clarifying?

[dull pilot]

Not sure what's confusing.
You can say: I signed up.
You cannot say: Anything else.

[vale anchor]

There are other things being playtested. You can say you are part of the EA Playtesting program but not what is being tested

[rigid kraken]

got it, that makes more sense.

thanks for clarifying.

[acoustic pasture]

Imagine being picked for the pt and risk to burn this golden occasion asking stuff in a public server like this 😅

[waxen apex]

I'd recommend reading what's going on above your message

[scenic gull]

MB

From now on silence, I don’t know anything about this game I swear

[dull pilot]

I mean, you can chat, just not about NDA'd stuff.

[scenic gull]

Lmao yeah sorry

[dull pilot]

np, bud.

[scenic gull]

I hope I get in tho, new features are sick

My only gripe from public footage is that again like skate 3, there’s less external mechanics separate from ur character

At least I think

[dull pilot]

based on official trailers/videos (and not leaks that don't tell the whole story/add context), what do you mean?

[scenic gull]

I just started playing skate 2 after completing, and killing, skate 3 and features like security detail at sites, services and property are thus far the highlights of the game

Stuff like hiring big black or having to panic at places is sick and change gameplay whilst being external from ur moveset

And made the world feel more lively

I feel like those features can be decently built upon

Like security trying to stop u from trespassing when climbing a fence or roof

Or Mike uncapping places for wallies

[gusty bough]

Honestly why Skate 2 was probably my favorite bc it really did add a lot of external services to help the player such as the pool draining, ledge uncapping, and of course Big Black for security purposes; then Skate 3 came along and got rid of all that in favor of more team based services that felt kinda half baked?!

[scenic gull]

Fax, progression with boards rather than cash was worse imo

[gusty bough]

Big time agree! The board system felt weird bc you didnt see any of that like it was just told by a little meter and a star, like geez thanks!

I think comparing the two Skate 2 felt like a genuine skating game where as Skate 3 felt more like Tony Hawk?! Idk if that makes sense but that was my take away.

[scenic gull]

Lucky skate 3 did improve heavily on many things

Especially in relation to moveset

[rigid kraken]

idk where I'm feeling this from, but did Skate 2 have more things in the environment than Skate 3? Granted it's been ages since i've touched the two. Skate 2 i probably played on the demo machines while I own a copy of Skate 3 for PS3

idk Skate 3 always felt a tad empty to me. Maybe for the hardware at the time but it ran some damn smooth

[scenic gull]

Really and truly, skate 2 is better in terms of exterior influence on gameplay IE story, art design, progression and services + obstacles

Whilst skate 3 was better in movement and skating, stunts and building stuff

[rigid kraken]

until you were editing tracks then it lagged xP

[scenic gull]

Yeah, I’m playing skate 2 after 3 and I can assure it’s way more vibrant and living

[gusty bough]

It really did though! My favorite was all the little secret pools and little spots that really added to a sense of exploration, Skate 3 felt like a step down in terms of environment.

[scenic gull]

More like a leap Icl

[acoustic pasture]

Map wise skate 2 is better to me but talking about gameplay, skate 3 is a sort of perfection, even after 13 years is still better than some other modern skate games

[rigid kraken]

idk i vaguely remember this massive jump in skate 2 that wasn't there in skate 3, i think it was a massive ramp down an allyway...

i think it combined like 2 parks or something

[scenic gull]

U mean boneyard?

[acoustic pasture]

People also talk about skate 3 tranistion skating is not good, I think is one of the best out there tho 😂

[scenic gull]

With the height thing

[rigid kraken]

probably i honestly dont remember it has been so long

[scenic gull]

Yeah I think ur on about boneyard

[scenic gull]

Movement gameplay, other factors of gameplay not so much

[acoustic pasture]

Gameplay movements are the core to me of a skate game

[gusty bough]

Big time agree I thought Skate 2 map was the best, I will say Skate 3 really did expand the tricklist so that’s a plus but everything else such as art design, map design, even progression felt kinda meh.

[acoustic pasture]

Everything just feels good

[scenic gull]

And my only worry about skate (4) is that it’s probs going to do what skate 3 did

Be a better game in general, but still be worse in some aspects and infinitely better in others

[rigid kraken]

Absolutely love how Skate controlled. I was messing around with other similar games on switch like tony hawk and OliOli and I always came back to OliOli since they have similar mechanics to Skate.

[acoustic pasture]

For the next game I expect a big improvement on everything, i dont have any specific expectstion beside a massive jump forward

[scenic gull]

But with the addition of updates, it COULD be possible to see additions like security at certain spots

But that would A: change familiarity with areas cause they would either be added to spots or make a new addition to the map

And more importantly

Bro these guys haven’t released they need a break 😭, features won’t come soon

[rigid kraken]

if anything a detailed and large map size would be cool, maybe different areas you can travel to that feel different.

[acoustic pasture]

Wich goes against to " i dont have any soecific expectstion"

[scenic gull]

I don’t think it will regress, but still stagnate and not move forward with issues like empty world and lack of exterior influences on gameplay like services had idk

[scenic gull]

Tbf it’s already like that

[rigid kraken]

yeah but bigger and more expanded on than last time

[scenic gull]

From skate 2 beaches, complexes with security, boneyard, little Italy ect ect

[scenic gull]

Ah ok

[rigid kraken]

like hell you have a downtown area then you take some form of transit for like some mountaintop areas filled with massive jumps

[acoustic pasture]

Hope for a wide trailer coming this year showing textured stuff , the world around and some features?

[scenic gull]

Magic forest would be crazy or something

[scenic gull]

I want a story trailer

I want reda back

[acoustic pasture]

😂 we will see

[rigid kraken]

man that just happens when you get a very high score on Hall of Meat that you gain some lasting effects on your guy

[scenic gull]

Fr?

[rigid kraken]

i wish

i hope so, that would be cool

[gusty bough]

All hope has been lost for a good story BUT I’m sure the gameplay will be dope with a dash of Fortnite, I’m thinking a ton of players running around like crazy and Chris Cole giving the same mission to 10 different people. lol

[scenic gull]

Hope not

Lmao

[rigid kraken]

Yeah it is one thing i am a little concerned about, i really hope it isn't going to be overmonitized

[prisma hazel]

Hey i just saw that EA laid off 600 employees. Are the devs here okay??

[scenic gull]

Funny thing is, daily objectives are no different to sponsor filming missions in skate 2, I just don’t want it to be something as dumb as “Chris Cole challenges EXP: kick flip”, I want it to make sense in tone

[gusty bough]

Yeah honestly I feel like they’re going the Riders Republic route which is still fun but idk how you can produce a solid story from a live service game. 🤔

[rigid kraken]

i mean they could add a bunch of brand deals to help with the cost, I found it really amusing to spawn in random products to mess around with in Skate 3

actually limited time brand deals that have interesting concepts for Skate props would honestly go hard.

[scenic gull]

Campaign can be separate 🤷‍♂️

[scenic gull]

I’m not a capitalist lmao, nor do I like companies cause they always commit some atrocity against humanity but brands in games like skate 3 and crazy taxi go so hard idk why

[rigid kraken]

Because it feels fun and it's something that you could probably do in real life, though i'm not condoning that

Plus it doesn't feel too out of place because, for some sport Championships companies already do that in real life. Especially red bull

[scenic gull]

RED BULL WOULD BE TOUGHHHHH

[rigid kraken]

You could do a hall of meat thing with the red bull gives your wings campaign

[scenic gull]

I want Butter goods, yard sale and cash only

New balance too

Ice cream

[lucid crag]

@dull pilot hope you and the skate team are all safe from all of these layoffs.

[scenic gull]

Fax

I’m barely in this server but he’s the GOAT objectively speaking

Not even an opinionated statement just fax

[rigid kraken]

I feel like Skate is EA's ace in the hole rn. If anything were to happen to the team it will be after its release

Cuz as it stands right now i think Skate is one of the few games made by EA that people have very fond memories of, paired with the fact that the development of Skate seems to be more open than other games (going off of the official trailers on YouTube here) about how development is doing is helping out a ton.

[waxen apex]

Skate, Sims, Battlefield, etc.

Not just Skate

[rigid kraken]

True will edit to "one of the few"

People's perception of EA as a whole is not good though iirc

[scenic gull]

In terms of quality and how well received it can be, yes

In terms of popularity, no, sadly

I doubt skate will sell to the point of becoming a craze, but I do think it can sell more than what’s needed

I feel like it would be a great addition that does well, but not crazy well like fifa or madden

[waxen apex]

Dead Space, Star Wars Jedi, FIFA, Madden, Mass Effect, and like 100 other sports games

[rigid kraken]

I forget was Mirror's Edge an EA game?

[waxen apex]

Just a reminder that when PewDiePie started playing Skate 3 in like 2014ish, they had to start printing more copies of Skate 3 because there weren't enough going out.

[waxen apex]

Yes

[rigid kraken]

That game was awesome shame it only got a few releases.

Though what if...

Skate x Mirror's Edge

[scenic gull]

I stand corrected

[waxen apex]

That would be Skate. technically since there will be parkour

[scenic gull]

With parkour now wouldn’t be too far off

[rigid kraken]

Could have a downtown section where you can climb to the roofs of skyscrapers and have tracks inbetween in omage to Mirror's Edge

Maybe some red painted stuff as well

[waxen apex]

Doubtful about that last part since Full Circle is not making a Mirrors Edge game

[scenic gull]

I was just thinking a set

Maybe a line from reda too

[rigid kraken]

As an easter egg that would be cool

[scenic gull]

I need reda bro 😭

EA needs to add Skate franchise avatars to their website

[dull pilot]

I appreciate it. I ain't goin' nowhere but San Vansterdam - and I'm bringin' all y'all with me.

[scenic gull]

Lmao, u guys love naming stuff “san”

Can’t wait for “San Vondon”

[dull pilot]

Battlefield had some Mirror's Edge easter eggs.

[dull pilot]

Well, think of the cities where skateboarding is huge -

San Francisco, Santa Monica, San Diego, Santiago (Chile)

[dull pilot]

Yup! Made by DICE Stockholm (the folks that make Battlefield and Star Wars Battlefront)

[dull pilot]

well, Battlefield 2042 has the Full Circle logo on a concrete set piece. 😉

[scenic gull]

Ohhhh, didn’t know that

[waxen apex]

Now that is awesome. I hope to see some EA games Easter eggs. Gotta put Faith's kicks at the top of the tallest building

[scenic gull]

Tbh all ik about skating is that the skate games are hard and that there’s cool clothes I buy from that sorta background

[acoustic pasture]

Did fifa 20 had an easter egg on skate at the very beginning of the street thing? Like a guy doing a boardslide on a flatbar

[waxen apex]

I hope for tons of Easter eggs, hidden ones, and complicated ones

[dull pilot]

BF2042 even has KUMA in it. 😛
I guess the BF team missed me.

[scenic gull]

I heard it’s been confirmed there’s most likely no story but bro. I need a story, I need reda, the interactions and goal of skate 2 is so good

[vale anchor]

Confirmed - most likely

[waxen apex]

For real!! But ay if y'all want community graffiti, lmk. I've been trying some things

[scenic gull]

It makes sense (no it doesn’t I’m capping 😭)

[vale anchor]

LOL

[rigid kraken]

Though im curious if there's gunna be more, less, or none of the brand deals like there were in 3 xP

[gray fjord]

what if we get an Isaac Clarke type of deal and she's a skater you can get

[gray fjord]

I imagine we're definitely getting brand deals, some brands featured in the old games don't exist anymore I believe, but new ones can replace them

[rigid kraken]

If i cannot do a 50/50 grind on a double layer Doritos™ Loco Taco from Taco Bell is it truely a Skate game? 🤔

[vale anchor]

Red Bull would be pretty cool to see. I used to drink monster but I've switched over to the winged side

[rigid kraken]

Yess

[scenic gull]

U can tail slide on a KFC drive thru window sill and play crazy taxi

[scenic gull]

Also red bull sports and skating

[rigid kraken]

Red Bull Hall of Meat competition

[scenic gull]

I want more clothing brands

[vale anchor]

That too. They do give back a bit to the scene which is awesome

[scenic gull]

Carhartt, yard sale, new balance, cash only, butter goods, ECT ECT

[rigid kraken]

Scan the QR code in the in game billboard to get 20% off your next purchase of a redbull case lmao

[scenic gull]

The SB side of NB and Nike is sooo good

[vale anchor]

Free Red Bull TV has given me back my old FuelTv fix I miss

[gray fjord]

I don't drink any energy drinks, so I'd like to see Dr Pepper return

[vale anchor]

Technically that is an energy drink because of the caffeine

[gray fjord]

I don't drink it either lol

I just think it's funny

[vale anchor]

XD

[rigid kraken]

Maybe a tall glass of milk for a Got Milk? Campaign

[vale anchor]

Is that still a thing?

[rigid kraken]

Idk im sure maybe

Im not checking the validity of it

[vale anchor]

Me neither

[rigid kraken]

Actually imagine this: a side mission where a brand contacts your skater dude to take a photo of him bursting out of the brand's billboard a certain way.

[scenic gull]

I hope the game retains some of the y2k and 2010s Xbox era vibe

[gray fjord]

It'll be hard to capture that I think, I feel like most of that is nostalgia

I want the game to play like skate, so I think I'll be safe

[scenic gull]

Yeah it absolutely is

[rigid kraken]

Imagine last second they go "nah you get button combos now rather than flick tricks"

[mellow heath]

LMAOO that’d be so funny 😭

They should do that right before it releases just to make people super mad

[mystic magnet]

Yeees!

[radiant latch]

Came here to see if everyone is okay ✅ . Good to hear sorry to hear about everyone else tho

[dull pilot]

[hidden bronze]

Sup!

[sullen bronze]

i just wanted to say that the new game needs to add sammy, mike, and freeway back

they were my favorite characters in the series and i was disappointed to not see them in skate 3

[gleaming peak]

Hey Nik!

[waxen apex]

Hi Nik. How are you?

[waxen apex]

Hey Massa. How's your day going so far?

[gleaming peak]

hey man

[gleaming peak]

im great man, you?

[hidden bronze]

Living it up! With Jeff’s showing the team what I’ve done on Session, I’m more compelled to do much better

[waxen apex]

Doing amazing!

[waxen apex]

Dude you got this! You take such sick pics. If you need help with editing tips, angles, improving, etc, lmk. I do a bit of irl photography

[hidden bronze]

Neat, I’ll let you know
I took some a few minutes ago, I’ll post them in the usual #creative

[waxen apex]

Ping me when you post those

[sudden warren]

ellooo

[rancid timber]

Yo

[cobalt dust]

[rancid timber]

I made photosensitive paper in class

It's drying under the desk rn

Using chemicals with words that I've never even THOUGHT of, let alone spoke and spelled

Literally a combination of words that I have difficulty spelling, or don't use often enough to commit it to memory

But yeah, the result will look pretty cool when it dries

[waxen apex]

thats cool

[waxen apex]

Hi Hurt. How are you?

[rancid timber]

Ok, used the papers

I’ll put photos somewhere in here

#creative

Have at it

[coarse bloom]

can i still sign up for playtest?

[dull pilot]

Always.

Just not the current one.

[marble flame]

[waxen apex]

Hi YGK

[marble flame]

Sup Kaiza, how's your day going?

[waxen apex]

Going great. It's about bedtime

[marble flame]

True

[waxen apex]

How's your day gone?

[marble flame]

Pretty good, just ate some Caribbean food earlier

[waxen apex]

You and that Caribbean food man. You gotta share some recipes

[marble flame]

Ngl I order them not make or cook the meal. One day I'll probably cook some Caribbean food. I must follow the recipes

[waxen apex]

Ah. Do you make the Jamaican food then?

[marble flame]

Nah. Not Jamaican food Its Haitian food

[waxen apex]

Ah. That's right. I couldn't remember for the life of me. Any dishes you would recommend?

[marble flame]

I would recommend the Diri Shela-Poul Fri (lime-coated fried chicken served with white rice) and Marinad (version of fritters)

[waxen apex]

Bet. Imma look for local Haitian restaurants

[marble flame]

I wish you luck

[waxen apex]

RIP. No local Haitian places.

Closest one is like a 30 minute drive

[marble flame]

NO!

[marble flame]

oh

Its all good

[waxen apex]

Looking up a recipe would probably be better in the long run

[hidden bronze]

Wassup yall

[scenic nova]

yoo

[wraith snow]

[scenic nova]

what happened to #voice-commands?

idk when that disappeared

[hidden bronze]

What channel was that?

[scenic nova]

voice commands

commands u could use with @surreal zenith

[hidden bronze]

Oh, right
I didn’t even realise they were gone

[wraith snow]

i just spent well earned money on something dope

[tacit trail]

Same here!

Picked up a new microwave and a pack of skittles

[scenic nova]

microwave the skittles

[hidden bronze]

Ooh, I’m curious

[waxen apex]

Was it a bagel?

Or a laptop?

[wraith snow]

one of the air up bottles

i wanna drink more water yk?

[waxen apex]

Dude no. That's a scam

[hidden bronze]

Huh, I have never heard of that

[wraith snow]

its not, ive tried one before

[hidden bronze]

Oh, wait, those things

[wraith snow]

yea, a water bottle with a pod of flavour that u smell etc etc.

[waxen apex]

Dog they literally are

[tacit trail]

Nah, they really are a scam

[wraith snow]

well, when i tried one i felt like it worked 🤷‍♀️

[hidden bronze]

We have one at my house that my mum bought, it never gets used haha

[tacit trail]

Who sniffs whilst they drink water?
Tried my brothers, he usually gets the rubbish you see on tiktok, and it just tastes like water

[hidden bronze]

The concept is cool, but I could just drink water anyways

[tacit trail]

You need to make an actual effort to take a big sniff whilst drinking to smell anything, even then it just tastes like water

As someone who hates the taste of water I thought the idea was cool...

[wraith snow]

i do it- basically everytime i drink anything

maybe im just odd, and one of those, 1 in a million people it works for

but atleast i get a cool water bottle i can bring around with me, cause i dont have a water bottle anyways

[tacit trail]

If it works for you though, then that's great!

[hidden bronze]

I dunno, water is water to me
I used to hate water cause I lived in an old house with rusty pipes that made our water taste awful
But now it’s just a regular thing

[waxen apex]

Watch the video I DMed you. The bottles are leaky, overpriced, the scent pods are just cotton soaked in chemicals, etc

[tacit trail]

I just have to drink tea or squash. Water just has a bitter taste, even bottled water

[wraith snow]

https://tenor.com/view/shrug-gif-25269231

[hidden bronze]

Bitter?

[tacit trail]

Yeah, a bitter taste

[hidden bronze]

That’s certainly an interesting way to describe the taste of water

[wraith snow]

water tastes like nothing to me, its just boring, so thats why i decided to buy my own of those air up thingys, cause when i tried one the last time, it worked as they said

U smell a scent, that tricks ur brain into tasting something, it wont be like juice or milk-

so im like "sure, something to make the water drinking a lil better for me"

[tacit trail]

The amount of times I've had people say 'but water has no taste how can you not like it?' haha

[waxen apex]

Usually Kool aid works for me. It's cheap and doesn't have many calories

[hidden bronze]

It does have a taste to it, but I’ve never thought of it ever being bitter

[hidden bronze]

Y’know, I’ve never tried Kool-Aid, ever

[wraith snow]

dont think we have kool aid here

[hidden bronze]

We don’t have it down here I think

[tacit trail]

I may just have odd taste buds haha, but yeah I've always thought of it to have a bitter taste

[waxen apex]

Taste depends on where it comes from and how it's purified. Kind of like how tap water tastes kinda metally

[waxen apex]

):

[tacit trail]

I find bottled water to have the same taste, the only water that I can sort of deal with is smart water... not sure why it's any different though

[hidden bronze]

I don’t mind my current places tap water, but that’s mainly what I’m drinking anyways

[wraith snow]

what in the coach frank's skate school is SMART water?

[waxen apex]

A brand of water that's overpriced. Like Fiji

[wraith snow]

aaah

[hidden bronze]

Does sparkling water come under that category…?

[waxen apex]

Nah. Smart water and Fiji water are supposed to be the cleanest water and don't taste like anything

[hidden bronze]

Right, gotcha

Just came to mind that I despise sparkling water is all

[tacit trail]

That probably explains why I can tolerate it

But it's too expensive to have on a regular basis

Maybe I just need to clutter up my kitchen even more and by a water purifier thing

[waxen apex]

A Brita pitcher

[tacit trail]

Yes, one of them

[scenic nova]

ive heard so many good and bad things about air up

people saying it smells chemically

i do want to get a bottle tho

[sudden warren]

Good day mates

[scenic nova]

ello

[wraith snow]

SAME.

[hidden bronze]

G’day mate

[sudden warren]

How yall doing today

[wraith snow]

Good, was driving around small roads in the city today, went rlly well! And now im rewatching the umbrella academy on netflix

[forest sand]

https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1762950814354563400
does this affect skate devs

[scenic nova]

oh yh i heard about that this morning

[scenic nova]

hopefully not 🙏

[sudden warren]

Nice! Practice makes perfect

[visual oracle]

This entire statement annoys me. >:/

[worthy rune]

that’s actually wild

[worthy rune]

probably won’t affect skate devs though realistically because there’s not that many people working on the game

[hidden bronze]

Jeff did say this about the layoffs at EA

“I appreciate it. I ain't goin' nowhere but San Vansterdam - and I'm bringin' all y'all with me. ”

[dull pilot]

Where’d you get “not that many people working on the game”?

[scenic nova]

source: trust me bro

[tacit trail]

Linkedin has full circle at anywhere upto 200 devs, which is still a sizable amount

Not all of which are devs I assume

But employees in general

[dull pilot]

True, and there’s lots of folks (lots) who work on the game that aren’t Full Circle. Like.. me.

And everyone who helps get a game out the door is part of the development of the game.

[hidden bronze]

All of y’all on the dev team are awesome people
One big family

[scenic nova]

^

[tacit trail]

Exactly that, this isn't a big block buster title like your spidermans or starfields, so what you need is different per game. Spiderman PS4 had 2k+ people credited, and obviously they were all devs at insomiac, you had outside help, and other people brought in for many different reasons

Just saw the news that EA laid off people

Was Full Circle affected by this?

[scenic nova]

scroll up

[scenic gull]

Yo what happened to reda IRL

wanted to learn more about him but there’s nothing online, is he dead? Retired? Still doing some work?

[waxen apex]

I like burritos

[icy pilot]

It has a full circle skatepark too

Or are we talking about the same location

[sand sonnet]

Does linking ur EA + if you have playtest get you a role on this server? So I can ask some alpha questions

[dull pilot]

No, because playtesters have one place to discuss playtesting - the private playtest forums.

@sand sonnet This is not the place to discuss the playtest details, etc.
You can create a post on the private forums.

[scenic gull]

Hey! Reda is still a photographer

Someone here in the community reached out to Reda for comment last year. At that time, Reda said he is hyped Skate. is coming back, but EA had not yet reached out to him

[scenic gull]

That is reassuring!!

[scenic gull]

Damnnnnnnnn

Can’t believe he’s not in or aware of development yet

Could it still be possible he can show up tho?

Like is that not too unusual for development

Also, do u have any links and stuff to his recent works then?

[dull pilot]

https://www.giovannireda.com/work

[scenic gull]

And thx for the answer mb

[scenic gull]

Blessssss

Damn he’s a cool photographer

Makes me wanna start Icl

[scenic gull]

Hey so Jason Lee (coach frank) also had an interview where he said same thing as Reda did!!

“At this time EA has not contacted me about Skate. [4] , but i am hyped it is back !! “

Because of jasons interview ^ that made the member of this community’s story more credible about reaching Reda for comment

BUT !! As always, please take with a grain of salt

[scenic gull]

True true

Seems plausible tho

[scenic gull]

Long story short.

Both Fan Favs, Reda and Coach Frank, are hyped. BUT! Neither have been contacted by EA , yet (;

[scenic gull]

With the yet part, do u think that there’s still time for them to come in and do some work

And has this been the case before

Like a trailer coming out and someone being told to rock up after a while of public development

[scenic gull]

Absolutely! Never say never!

But just temper expectations. There is a chance EA may want to move on from the Reda and Coach Frank personalities

[scenic gull]

Hope not

But prepare for the worst I suppose

But in all fairness, we haven’t seen ANYTHING to do with IRL skaters story or environment apart from the city

So I would say it’s not too late

Rather it’s just being smoothed prior to work being done maybe idk

[dull pilot]

It's not a Beta.
multiple playtests happen for various titles - and some testing is during specific times for specific folks.

discussing that stuff publicly IS technically breaking the confidentiality agreement - and there's a contact email in your playtesting communication emails if you have questions.

[scenic gull]

That is very true !! No Pro has been announced so still too early

When that time comes, maybe Reda does come back (;

Hope so

And Jerry Hsu with scifi fantasy PLEASE 🙏🏼

And I really want him to be the camera man again

Yes, gives game more personality. But maybe a a mute button for those that never liked Reda xD

[scenic gull]

I don’t see it personally

He’s not always talking imo

Haha reminds me of Roman from gta4

lol

Surprised he’s not as furious as he’s shown IRL tho wth

I just started looking into him, first thing I see is him hunting down whoever threw water on him when going to bed 😭😭

Skate Reda is too polite 😭, but I like both irl and skate redas

[hidden bronze]

I second this
Dude is one of my favourite skaters

[scenic gull]

Ooo no no IRL Reda was ruthless. Or was it beagle? One them beat up corey duffle hahahha

2008 was different times

[scenic gull]

Hell yeah! And his brand scifi is authentic. Happy to hear he is successful after retiring from pro level skating

[hidden bronze]

I’d love to have Sci-Fi merch of any kind

Sucks that most of Enjoi’s original pros left the company though

Louie Barletta left Enjoi on Valentine’s Day this year as well

[radiant latch]

I hope EA brings back their E3 style showcase this summer.

[scenic gull]

That was so sad! But at least now Louie has Jazzuci Unlimited

[wraith snow]

i just ate the best chicken nuggets ever

hows everybody else doing?

[dull pilot]

@vale anchor Figured out how to allow attachments and links in the TicketTool.

[dull pilot]

I do miss EA PLAY.
I remember the first one (we had a streamer/creator + celebrity Battlefield 1 tournament/match. Got to meet Terry Crews, Tyrese, and Snoop Dogg) at Club Novo.
For the next 2-3 years, I rode my Harley up to the Paladium and parked right outside the staff entry gates on the sidewalk.

The events were a lot of fun.

[radiant latch]

I remember that one! I was a big Battlefield fan at the time. So seeing BF1 on stream with pretty much the world felt special

[dull pilot]

One of my favorite E3 (adjacent) moments was the Titanfall Pro/AM tournament I helped hype. I was on a skyjack throwing Burn Cards to the audience while the matches played.

[dull pilot]

BF1 was a special moment for my career.
Worked with my best friend/boss, traveled 100K miles all over the world, got to meet Stan Lee at one of his last ComiCon appearances before he passed.
It was... amazing.

[radiant latch]

Reason why I wish it would come back is because I feel like EA has been quiet for the past 2-3 years now?

[dull pilot]

yeah, because of the global pandemic

[scenic gull]

Idk any skaters but he strangled who he suspected to have chucked water on him and caved in the wall and door 😭

[radiant latch]

Yeah man, definitely excited to see summer showcases . Maybe I will finally get a chance to attend one. I’ve never been to E3

[dull pilot]

Yeah, unfortunately, that train has sailed. E3 is done.

[radiant latch]

I was so sad about that. It felt like an experience even at home. The Summers Games fest with Jeff no offense can be boring at times

[dull pilot]

I'd love to go to like PS Direct, Nintendo Direct, or the Xbox Showcase. As a gamer, that would be fun.

Would love to go back to gamescom one day. 500K gamers in Cologne for 5 days.

[radiant latch]

The PlayStation Experience showcases were great from what I remember

Last one having Ghost of Tsushima

[scenic gull]

Hahah wait who sorry

It was a dope event.

can yall share some warm weather? its foggy as heck here, like everything is justone massive nothingness when i look outside

[waxen apex]

I skated this morning after a work meeting to take advantage of the Mountain Dew Kickstart I had. The black cherry flavor is pretty good. Doesn't taste anything like Mountain Dew though

[sudden warren]

Haha haven't had one of those in a while. I used to like the orange one

[waxen apex]

That was my first time trying it. Yesterday a homie had an orange one and my gas station didn't have orange stocked sadly. But black cherry is good

[scenic gull]

Best weather is when it’s sunny and freezing

Like no clouds, strong sunshine but crisp cool air

[wraith snow]

i like it when its hot here, cause idk- its more for me

Hey nice people!

I've been playing Skate 3

I was wondering, when Skate 4 comes out, will Skate 3 shut down like the Burnout games???

[worthy rune]

after a while yeah probably

give it like a year or two after skate 4 releases

[waxen apex]

We don't know what will happen yet

But it is a possibility

[scenic gull]

Depends if it's "dead" or not

like Skate 2

Even the Burnout: Paradise remaster seems dead these days, so I can't imagine what it must have been like for the 360 games

[sudden warren]

I used to play paradise on ps3 religiously

[wraith snow]

Skate 4 is never coming out 🤷‍♀️

Skate. However is coming before 2050, Cuz confirmed that!

[waxen apex]

Woohoo!!

[sick falcon]

Hmmm...

True

[sick falcon]

Was Skate 2 dead? I'm thinking of also getting it since i already got Skate 3

[hidden bronze]

Sup y’all! How is everyone?

[worthy rune]

skate 2 servers are not live anymore

[gilded hollow]

I have an idea what if the vol. 1-4 of the community creations playliist was added to the game Skate.?

[scenic gull]

[south goblet]

hello everyone, how do i join a community created park? when i click on it. it says i need to be "home" and theres a locked symbol to get into the community created park

[foggy pagoda]

We need a young jeezy skin

[tacit trail]

You'll have to blur most of him

[scenic nova]

Wtf is a young jeezy

[tacit trail]

Young Jeezy is well known for putting on for his city

[scenic nova]

ohhhh shii

[wraith oxide]

What is taken so long with the console play test? They said hopefully the game this year. If they going to take this long to put out the play test it’s not gonna happen.

[hidden bronze]

Patience, dude. Have some patience. They’ll announce it when it’s ready.

[proud trout]

Lol

[violet tapir]

It’s March 4th 💀

Also, they only said console playtest this year, not full release.

[wraith oxide]

@proud trout yeah, it really is funny I’m trying to skate Gino’s 😂

[proud trout]

I mean just gotta wait like the rest lol

Its not that hard

[wraith oxide]

I know, but damn

[wraith snow]

my prediction is console testing drops when skate. turns 4 years old since announcement- but again, its just a theory

https://tenor.com/view/game-theory-game-theory-its-just-a-theory-game-theorists-gif-20883020

[wraith oxide]

Oh you hot jokes

[wraith snow]

hell yea i do

[tacit trail]

For console testing it’s probably a requirement that the game is in a decently solid state. As not to effect the system in anyway due to major bugs

[dull pilot]

Plus, it’s easier to patch PC via the EA App.

[wraith snow]

ahhh that is smart

get most bugs out, patch them on pc, and get the game in a good state for console

[dull pilot]

yep. with other platforms, it can sometimes take 2-4 weeks to get a patch approved. so building on PC first gets the game to a state ready for console testing faster.

[swift coyote]

will there be a playtest highlights for jan?

miss seeing them in my feed 😢

[wraith oxide]

@wraith snow so you think we making funny money

[wraith snow]

there was a test in february i believe, that extended into january, according to an article.

so we will most likely get a highlight vid next month

[swift coyote]

do u mean jan to feb?

[tacit trail]

Isn’t it costly to push patches and updates to console? I’m sure I’ve read somewhere that it costs studios to do so

[dull pilot]

probably best to read the email again - then refrain from discussing anything publicly as it's a violation of the EA Playtesting Confidentiality agreement and skate. Insider NDA.

[dull pilot]

if i recall, there is a cost, yeah.

[brittle lake]

quick question, is there a way to get access to the prepre alpha for skate?

[dull pilot]

yeah, sign up as a skate. Insider at https://skate.game/insider and wait for an invite.

[sand sandal]

I missed all previous playtests, hope this gonna be the one Im in 🙏 🙏 🙏

btw I was signed up for every single one

[radiant latch]

When will we get another round table from the Team?

[dull pilot]

Another Board Room?
We got one cookin'.

[strange kiln]

Have people been invited to multiple play tests?

[dull pilot]

That is a possibility.

[scenic gull]

bro skate has completely destroyed my understanding of what actually good skating looks like

any way to cure this lmao

[waxen apex]

Go watch Godspeed by Davonte Jolly

[stoic pagoda]

Yo I usually just cruise but I’ve been wanting to get into tricks but im a lil afraid to. Got any tips to help?

[dull pilot]

Check #irl-skateboarding-chat for tips.

[wraith snow]

THATS SICK! any hints to when it comes out? or is it a "gotta wait" sittuation cause

AAAAAAAA, i want it now LMAO

[thick herald]

Wait so I have to sign up every time-…?

I thought a single sign up was enough.

[sand sandal]

idk I was doing it just to be sure Im in

[thick herald]

Damn

[violet tapir]

No you only sign up once, no need to do it every time.

[scenic gull]

Bro this is good so far

The Zach and Ishod sections are sick

Zach especially

[south goblet]

how do i join a community created park

[thorn aurora]

@vivid carbon unblock me pooks

[wraith snow]

it is a single sign up, signing up everytime does nothing, also because, if ur email is signed up... u stay signed up, tho if u get a console or a pc that u didnt have before, u can change ur preferences in ur ea playtesting settings to also include opportunities for those platforms

a single signup is fine tho

[thick herald]

oh thanks for the clarification lol

[wraith snow]

coach frank, we have talked about this, personal space to the skaters dude, urgh

[wraith snow]

ofc! and if u want a play testing invite all u gotta do is

wait, or ask Santa

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-santaclaus-happy-christmas-happy-xmas-santaclaus-christmas-wishes-gif-5751638918206723404

[thick herald]

lmfao

[waxen apex]

I love Neal's part

[scenic gull]

Ima finish tomo but thx for putting me on fr

[waxen apex]

👍🏻

[wraith snow]

@hidden bronze U LEGEND! Seems like we're getting the Australian eurovision entry today / tomorrow for you

aka, its time to shred the streets on my board listening to that good ol australian banger vibe

[wraith snow]

everything u need to know is in the email u recieved, read the whole email

[wraith oxide]

Mmm

[wraith oxide]

Anybody else a disabled gamer in here

[frank tusk]

Someone forgot about the non disclosure (original msg deleted)

[scenic nova]

nda - always leak information

thats what it stands for ^^

[frank tusk]

Ah, how could i be so stupid

[wraith snow]

NDA =
Never Drink Acid

That stuffs bad for you btw

[violet jetty]

If it happens daily, clearly there is some error on the part of the information. I'm just saying as advice🫡

[scenic nova]

NDA

No
Drinking
Alcohol

It is bad for you

[tacit trail]

It happens daily... because people just don't take the time to read properly. They just get too excited about the PT that they skip over all the information

[hasty pagoda]

I thought NDA meant nollie double airflip

[scenic nova]

it does

[wraith snow]

it indeed does

[tacit trail]

nooo... Nollie darkslide aerial! Easy mistake to make

[dusk shore]

i thought it was nollie darkslide airwalk

damn u beat me to it

[hasty pagoda]

I'm a rookie couch skater 😛 rookie mistake

[tacit trail]

Happens to the best of us!
When you hop on a board for real, first trick you need to get down is the Nollie ollie switch shuv

[wraith snow]

ive become a couch skater. the weather dosen't allow me to get out and skate atm, and its painful :(

[wraith snow]

WHAT?! i was told my first trick that i HAD to get down asap, was a noillie 360 hardflip to darkslide

[dull pilot]

Hi.
No, the information is clear. It does require the person to read it - and it also requires them to abide by it.

Example: When you sign up to the EA Playtesting site - you agree to the EA Playtesting Pre-Release Feedback Agreement (https://tos.ea.com/legalapp/PRFA/US/en/closed/) which plainly states you can't say anything other than "I signed up to playtest".

Then the skate. Insider FAQ states where you can/can't talk about the playtest (only on the appropriate channels - which are shared with playtesters in their emails, multiple times): https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq

Excitement sometimes takes the reigns, I won't attribute it to malevolence, and they come to the official server, which is supposed to be the home of the skate. community, and ask a question.

The next part -
Dogpiling "READ YOUR EMAILS" **isn't cool, isn't welcoming, and isn't what this community's vibe is about. **

If someone starts to talk about something they shouldn't, don't engage - just open a moderation ticket. The mods can send a private warning to "read your emails and mind the NDA" rather than what happened earlier, which resulted in someone leaving the server.

[violet jetty]

👌 🫡

[dull pilot]

And I know that the reminders came from a place of love - you don't want someone getting into trouble, spilling the beans, etc.

A hug is great, unless it squeezes the life out of ya, y'know?

BUT - I think I can add a step in the onboarding specific to playtesting that reminds NEW folks that join the server.

[unborn pecan]

That's probably the best move honestly

Not everyone checks through every link in an email yk

[scenic nova]

#1214598970370957374 new channel 😱

3 words: dont discuss it

[tacit trail]

Okay... I'll disregard what I was about to type haha

Was just going to suggest either a channel to send people to, or a landing page for new users

But the later obviously requires you to read without much prompt

[lethal notch]

Mornin

[faint violet]

im so hyped for skate, literally cant wait

[scenic nova]

ong

[wraith snow]

[waxen apex]

[wraith snow]

yup! just got myself some pizza, also finished another road safety class so thats lovely

[dull pilot]

if you were invited, you'd have all info in the emails sent, not in the public discord.

[exotic saddle]

FAQ literally directed me here because my question isn't answered there lol.

[dull pilot]

no, it didn't.
Playtesters have all the information in their emails.

@exotic saddle @cursive mesa https://discord.com/channels/771078623430967317/1214598970370957374

[exotic saddle]

Where do I contact if I'm having issues?

[dull pilot]

Reply to the email you were sent

[karmic crown]

can anyone help me get access to the playtest?

[subtle tusk]

I have been getting emails an I am 99.9% sure that I was accepted to playtest yet when I go to the feedback area and go to the EA Library it does not give me access to playtest skate

[karmic crown]

I took time off work to participate and I never got the last email to actual install or download the game =[

[quartz coral]

Same

[tiny nymph]

goodmorning from aus

im here and have no download yet too fellas

[clever basin]

Are the servers not up yet?

[raven breach]

same, but I got the email. just now. it is not in my libary like it states. (yes its the same email and account i signed up with, i only have 1) yes i followed all the steps

[karmic crown]

what is the email titled?

[raven breach]

playtest ends in 3 hours

[subtle tusk]

me2 im p sure everyones having the same issue

[rigid kraken]

hmm anyone else have issues with EA not loading their library? says I'm even offline

[subtle tusk]

hopefully they fix it soon

[dull pilot]

Stop discussing the playtest in a public server.

[subtle tusk]

then wheres the private server?

[hoary geyser]

ah yeah fair

[ionic raven]

+1

[raven breach]

I dont mind them having issues and bugs, but I just want communication instead of a bot telling me to go look at the FAQ

[muted token]

well we cant discuss it anywhere else because they broke it

[dull pilot]

There's not a private Discord. The forums for playtesters is the only place.

[scenic gull]

Which isn't working

[ionic raven]

yueah

[indigo gulch]

let them work on it, its clearly a problem with everyone.

[dull pilot]

Not sure why we're still discussing it, but mutes are about to be applied. You are violating the NDA and confidentiality agreement.

[delicate junco]

its amazing how people already broke their NDAs for the PT

[runic kayak]

this was our only option for support, how else would we give feedback

[muted token]

im not saying anything else besides 'i got it' and 'it aint giving any info'

[ionic cairn]

I'm sorry getting upset at your community because you guys are having issues but are saying nothing about it is pretty poor managing

[delicate junco]

by reading the email you received ... Im sure they told you where to ask ...

[muted token]

thats about it

[alpine grail]

just read the email

[scenic gull]

that doesn't work

[toxic nest]

yeah in the forum, the one that doesnt work

[alpine grail]

they give you a email address for support

[delicate junco]

go read the email you got ... ALL of it ....

[subtle tusk]

Read the most bottom bit

[rigid kraken]

I'm sending them an email about it, hopefully it helps.

[dull pilot]

Friends, this is last public warning - do not discuss ANYTHING about playtesting in this server.
Not the email contents, the playtest build, issues, etc.

[subtle tusk]

lets not

lets not spam them

[lament pasture]

That was fun!

[exotic saddle]

https://tenor.com/view/yeet-lion-king-simba-rafiki-throw-gif-16194362

[devout sierra]

embed fail

[exotic saddle]

indeed

Throw myself off a hall of meat track

[rigid kraken]

do a flip

[lament pasture]

waits impatiently

[subtle tusk]

read this @cursive mesa

[exotic saddle]

Nose dive, no flips

[devout sierra]

can i really not get skate 3 on pc

[exotic saddle]

BRO don't. this makes me cry

[tiny nymph]

What was everyones favourite map point in Skate 3?

[frosty escarp]

Y'all read the email in full.

[indigo gulch]

@tiny nymph @serene gorge

[ionic raven]

@nimble plank dont discuss this here

[dull pilot]

Don't post in a public Discord and read the emails.

[keen linden]

im having same issue rn

[tiny nymph]

I was asking about skate 3

[devout sierra]

i played it on xcloud when i had game pass

[bleak pivot]

me too

[serene gorge]

i read the email and [redacted] but [redacted]

[scenic gull]

i'm killing black demons on runescape rn

[grave solstice]

what could we possibly be missing

[bleak pivot]

was anyone actually able to get it to work?

[devout sierra]

i guess ill get a copy for my x360

[exotic saddle]

Yeah I wish they would release some of those games on PC game pass

[indigo gulch]

ur good dyslexia kicked in

[lethal spear]

pogo. announcement when?

[devout sierra]

imagine if they outsourced a studio to do ports to hype up the new game before it releases

[marsh spruce]

im madge

[scenic gull]

i always wondered why they didn't, skate 3 would be an easy port - just give no keyboard/mouse functionality

[runic kayak]

🥱

[rigid kraken]

i mean you can you just need a PS3, and a HDMI to USB capture card so you can use your computer as the monitor

[exotic saddle]

I think the k/m part is the issue.
I've played some of the skate games on steam, and nothing compares to skate. But also, all of them are far superior with a controller.

[devout sierra]

controller is the way

[rigid kraken]

would be hella funny to use the mouse to do skate moves

[scenic gull]

90% of players would be returning from console days, they'd understand zero K/M compability. But I guess I'm not talking from a business standpoint

[rigid kraken]

probably hold down the mouse button to do skate tricks to change it from camera view

[scenic gull]

the idea of having KM support for Skate is like playing Fifa on keyboard.. you don't
