Emails are going out on July 2nd no?

[oblique shuttle]

Idk the post I saw said check your emails not sure if that meant now or later

[warm nest]

Been waiting a decade. If i don’t play….

[dull pilot]

First things first, as mentioned in The Grind: Vol 1, we will be sending out invites for 0.27 in waves starting soon to everyone who has signed up as a skate. Insider. However, we are closing skate. Insider registration on June 27, 2025.** If you are signed up as an Insider before June 27 you will be invited in waves to the next playtest!**

(doesn't say today)

[oblique shuttle]

10 days

[modern radish]

Oh, I thought I read it started on July 2nd, but who knows, I can also just not read

[warm nest]

Imma come home from work and play nothing but skate till 10pm and go to bed. Repeat for another decade+

[modern radish]

Skate. Is probably gonna come out this decade, you can hold me to it

[oblique shuttle]

No way

[hollow hazel]

You signed up 4.9 trillion times more than necessary

[warm nest]

I have better chances 😎

[modern radish]

No

[warm nest]

🤨 wym no?

[modern radish]

I wish it works like that

[dull pilot]

Signing up dozens of times absolutely does nothing to improve your chances of getting invited. In fact, we purge duplicate sign ups. So just be patient.

[warm nest]

We out here believing i signed up 5 trillion times… 🫩

[hollow hazel]

No way, people wouldn’t lie on the internet

[modern radish]

We ain’t. Ngl, I signed up multiple times thinking I would get a “hey man, ur in” email

[warm nest]

Lie.. 🤨 uh k

[hollow hazel]

Imagine you just get a cease and desist order from a legal team

[modern radish]

I’ll ignore it, what are they gonna do, sue me again? I’ll ignore it again

[woven pebble]

I don’t envy Jeff. So many people refuse to read or even look for the information they’re looking for that is readily available. It’s exhausting.

[modern radish]

I do read, I just don’t do it well! :3

[cerulean relic]

How do i even know im "signed up"?. Ive been struggling to figure that out, and dont wanna be locked out of the upcoming playtest. (My 'Your Playtests' tab is empty so idk if that means im not in.)

[modern radish]

im way better at math anyways.

[hollow hazel]

The 14 thousandth member of this server sending him a dm asking for an invite

[warm nest]

“Check your emails 🤓”

[woven pebble]

I can’t even imagine

[warm nest]

That’s all anyone says here.

[modern radish]

“Yo, can I get a steam key!”

[warm nest]

Like seriously

[hollow hazel]

If you go to the site where you sign up and complete the process at the end it says something along the lines of “thanks you’re in” and afaik that’s confirmation you’re signed up

[warm nest]

Doesn’t mean anything

Like cool. Now let me bloody play lmao

[cerulean relic]

Thats the one with the "Are you interested in skateboarding" one right? If so, i should be good then.

[hollow hazel]

Idk I don’t trust wolves

[modern radish]

Can’t wait to do the same 4 tricks but in better graphics

[woven pebble]

Which 4?

[hollow hazel]

Throwdown, powerslide, bail, powerslide the other way

[warm nest]

Tre, lazer, kickflip & hardfip

[modern radish]

Kick flip, 360 hard flip, tail walks… there’s no fourth…

[dull pilot]

it's fine. I've been doing this for big games since 2012.
non-reading is not new.

[woven pebble]

My favorites, with dark catches mixed in

[woven pebble]

lol I know. I’ve been in and out of this discord for a couple of years now.

[subtle glacier]

I’m already signed up but they had that problem where it sends to the ea accounts email not the Xbox account email so the account I used was a trash yahoo email that I don’t have access to instead of it going directly to the XBOX account email I connected to the account. Plus I can’t disconnect the account cause it wants me to click an email in my email but again don’t got access to yahoo email. My Xbox account email is my gmail and honestly don’t know what to do I wanna sign up but have been since they’ve announced sign up for pc only

[modern radish]

Man, I don’t know what I said for my last message to be removed

[warm nest]

K

[cerulean relic]

Well dont got any other playtest thangs so hopefully that just means im in and when July comes around i get an inv. 🤷‍♂️

[modern radish]

My balatro playing cards should be hear near July 2nd

[warm nest]

Here’s a gold ⭐️ for you i guess.. @dull pilot

[woven pebble]

Dude chill

[cerulean relic]

Ight 😭

[warm nest]

Hm?

[hollow hazel]

I can hear the mocking voice at the end of a 7/8 run

[modern radish]

It took me a second to realize you were talking about balatro and not me mocking you lol

[hollow hazel]

lol that joker basically like “dude you suck”

[modern radish]

His name is Jimbo

[hollow hazel]

But he says “ba bo boo bee bo ba boo”

[modern radish]

I’ve been working on my balatro mod, definitely taking a long break when the game is out

[subtle glacier]

Great I can’t get access to the playtest turns out my yahoo account was deactivated due to inactivity 🫡 I’m screwed

[warm nest]

😂

Just make an email… link it & you’re in

[woven pebble]

Can’t you use a different email account? You have until June 27th to sign up.

[subtle glacier]

Nope cause I can’t connect my Xbox account to it without disconnecting it and I don’t have access to the yahoo email to do that

[woven pebble]

I use my outlook account with password every time I log into my Xbox. You can’t use outlook? I’m no expert at this stuff.

[subtle glacier]

No.

[woven pebble]

Sorry, I’m of no help then

[hollow hazel]

Are you able to make a new Xbox account with new email ?

[subtle glacier]

My ea account was made using yahoo xbox with my gmail I always use

[hollow hazel]

Like, a separate account just so you can sign up

[subtle glacier]

I’m trynna do that I too but i gotta see if my other email has an Xbox account already cause I believe I made one for it when j was com banned for a short time but I forgot the stuff cause I don’t use it no more

Lol the downside of my shii is I don’t use the stuff no more cause they were either long ago or made for a specific time I’m trying to remember tho

[hollow hazel]

I feel that, I have about 43 email addresses cause I forget stuff and what’s linked to what

[subtle glacier]

My problem was I didn’t check my ea account and they never announced it was sending to ea accounts email. But it’s aight trynna figure out my other account now

[hollow hazel]

Hope you can find a solution 🤙🏼

[dull pilot]

It’s part of the signup process. You literally have to login to register. There’s no place to add a different email.

[dull pilot]

If you need account help, EA Help can assist.

[subtle glacier]

Yea I’m logged in. My account email I do not have access too

I’ve tried asking There’s nothing to do but make new account and sing up with that one. My og one has the wrong email and to disconnect my Xbox account from that ea account I need to login to my yahoo email but my main email that’s connected to my Xbox account is gmail

[dull pilot]

They can help with that.

Oh jeez.

[dull pilot]

Check your DMs.

[warm nest]

Bruhhhh

That’s why you don’t use yahoo.. yahoo 😂😭🤣

[waxen apex]

I heard the creator of yahoo was a real yahoo

[warm nest]

His parents were yahoo for even making him

[waxen apex]

For real. A bunch of yahoos

[warm nest]

Glad i’m not a yahoo

[meager thistle]

yahoo email fire df

[warm nest]

^ Imagine being this guy… ^

I’m kidding…. Jokes.

Bruh i’m 24…

Yahoo isn’t cool as Outlook or Gmail…

[worldly sluice]

I have a yahoo, it was my dads but I took it cause when I was making my ps account he used his yahoo and I js took it

[subtle glacier]

I didn’t I logged in with xbox I tapped that and used gmail and logged in with my xbox account

[warm nest]

Ohhhh my bad bro

[subtle glacier]

It was already made prolly when I was young asf and I never knew it was the yahoo cause I don’t use yahoo I use gmail I thought it was gone sign me up with gmail tbh

[meager thistle]

I've used them all.

[warm nest]

Well just a new account with your gmail for now.

[subtle glacier]

I used that to login on the Xbox login so I assumed that was my email or I assumed I used the Xbox login

[wraith socket]

I registered with my PSN account but I had to update the email on that to a new one and did same for my EA account afterwards, hopefully that didn’t screw anything up.

[worldly sluice]

wait does yahoo screw up the playtest some how???

[warm nest]

Yes.. it does… 😅😉

[worldly sluice]

how????

[waxen apex]

No

[worldly sluice]

oh ok

[waxen apex]

I received 10+ emails from the Daily Bugle for not sending them pictures of Spider-Man

[hollow hazel]

He’s a menace to society !

[final tinsel]

havent used Yahoo in years lmao

[raven imp]

my last question is : will we all have access to the playtest on july 2nd or it will be group by group that can have access to it starting july 2nd ?

[hollow hazel]

It’ll be in waves of invites per the grind

[wanton sierra]

Can someone send me the playtest on steam as a friend? I really really want to play this.

[raven imp]

why u’re not signing up

[wanton sierra]

Can I get early access without getting it from a friend on Steam?

[hollow hazel]

I’m guessing you didn’t read vol. 3 of the grind ?

[wanton sierra]

Mb

I thought it was like other Steam games, whoever receives the game from a friend can send it to anyone else.

Ty

[hollow hazel]

Np 🤙🏼

[dull pilot]

@warm nest Looks like you got an auto timeout. Removed it. Bot blocks all discord links in the server.

[warm nest]

Thank you bro 😭😭

[sand shell]

Do current playtesters lose the game when the new wave of testers come?

[dull pilot]

no

[sand shell]

Wowwww, was expecting to lose it haha. Sweet, thanks

[dull pilot]

Resets will happen, but all that will be in the patch notes on the forums.

[wraith snow]

everything happens on the forums, gotta make a post there, the ea forums are quite easy to use in general, ive used it for other games, just gotta make a post and see if anyone has a fix, or if devs, cm's etc. know whats up,

[hidden bronze]

Good arvo my people!!

[wraith snow]

wassup Massa!

[hidden bronze]

How you doin?

[wraith snow]

good good! just chillin to some yt atm

[hidden bronze]

Sweeeeet! I just figured out a way to crop all my hoodies, so I’m happy

[wraith snow]

yo. teach dm's rn. i need this

[hidden bronze]

Just messaged ya!

[wraith snow]

i had to google that and realise dabington city is fake and not some random posh british city....

[clever glade]

are no complys broken?

[raven imp]

ye just try to boneless instead

[solar panther]

Hehe

Playing skateboard games gives me headaches sometimes idk why

[wraith oxide]

I’m a need y’all to lock in. We can’t let skate die. They brought it back for us.

[solar panther]

Maybe because the email u picked when u made ur ea account is not ur xbx email….

[wraith oxide]

For some reason, it’s not giving me an email to reset password, but I should be good

[scenic gull]

Ha. Im about to have 4 different emails get in by end of the waves

[hollow hazel]

We’re so close now

[eager nexus]

awwwhhh yeeeeaaahhhh

[scenic nova]

Are u serious 😭

[quiet yew]

Mods sleeping

[turbid nest]

Yo

[arctic seal]

Uhh quick question I'm not even sure if I can ask here, so that's ,why I'm asking who can I ask for Playte*ts related questions ?

[turbid nest]

@arctic seal I think support

[arctic seal]

Yes but where can I contact the support ?

[gritty veldt]

In the support section

[arctic seal]

Ok but on this discord server ?

[sleek knot]

uh why they spammin with emails

[bitter glen]

skate finna be lit

[steep stirrup]

Yuuup ive gotten 3 by now 🤣

[rough current]

check the Playtesting Info channel on the discord

Theres a link to a private forum just for the playtesters, you can get support there bro

i would link the channel but automod doesnt let me

[arctic seal]

I managed to solve my problem, thanks anyway.

[rough current]

no worries bro

[plush estuary]

Anyone keep getting spammed with emails from skate

[arctic seal]

Ye

[turbid nest]

Yes

[sharp tree]

Just had a third one in three hours

[signal mica]

does/will the playtest have crossplay?

[scarlet lion]

Ok so im not the only one lmao

[jaunty wigeon]

is the next playtest gonna be without an NDA?

[jaunty wigeon]

yea lmao

[scenic gull]

Just saw the Steam page, can't wait

[vale anchor]

It will still be under NDA

[scenic gull]

Plus the screenshots on the storefront look nutty (in a good way)

[timber turret]

I think they are starting the public play testing soon

[sly flame]

RSVP mail in inbox, 2 - 3 years waiting for solo playtest, now they start rolling out MP/co-op playtest, what a joke.

[vale anchor]

No, but early access is coming soon

[vale anchor]

They are letting every single person that signed up in. Nothing special about coop or MP as far as we know

Meaning the wait is over

[scarlet lion]

What do you mean by solo? Isn’t this Skate. only multiplayer?

[timber turret]

it will be multiplayer

not single player sadly

[foggy horizon]

I registered for a playtest again yesterday. SKATE was listed under "Playtests Available."
After I registered, the entry disappeared. It's not listed under "In Progress" or "Available" anymore.
Will I still get access to the playtest?

[scarlet lion]

Yeah sucks there’s no offline mode, though im not that bummed about it as long as the game is actually supported well, another The Crew situation would be so bad though, i really hope they have plans if the game will naturally decrease in players in the future to still make it playable instead of just delisting it.

[timber turret]

I really hope they add hall of meat back

I'm gonna try to get a red skeleton again

[lethal abyss]

hello, Can someone tell me what "RSVP" is? When I log into EA, it shows me nothing but Playtest Battlefield or Apex.

[scarlet lion]

tbh that whole system is a mess, slight off-topic but I signed up for BF labs when it was first announced, long story short I still have no idea if im even signed up since the sign up page doesn’t take me anywhere anymore, same for Skate but hopefully this time it will work

Feels like that whole portal needs a redesign

[foggy horizon]

Oh okay thx.
I hope it works for us.

[zealous sinew]

😳

[modern radish]

What did I open chat to

[dull pilot]

NDA will remain in effect. If it gets dropped, we’ll announce it.

[modern radish]

That’s a nice skater

[dull pilot]

He’s okay. Hehe

[proud trout]

wussup

[gentle fiber]

Kuma, Goofy or Regular? My dog wants to know, she's inspired

[lethal sable]

When playtesting goes active, will I be able to join PlayStation party’s or discord chats with my friends if they don’t have access?

[night gorge]

[river gyro]

Yeah of course

[delicate sequoia]

Man I can't wait to playtest skate. after the 2nd

[proud trout]

thought we wasnt meant to talk about playtesting

[river gyro]

Everyone’s getting invited into the play test within 4 weeks of July 2nd who signed up

[dull pilot]

Check the Confidentiality agreement in #1214598970370957374

[delicate sequoia]

They released a newsletter

[dull pilot]

I think he’s Goofy footed.
Definitely goofy brained.

[proud trout]

where

since in the #1214598970370957374 Im still seeing "do not talk about it"

[delicate sequoia]

The main insider playtest regristration page, on -ea.com/games/skate/insider-playtest-registration

[proud trout]

Idk man

[delicate sequoia]

it says new playtests roll out the 2nd, so rsvp before the 27th

You can also get a referral code if you want your freinds to join they just have to fill out the form before the 27th also

[dull pilot]

At this stage, we’re only moderating if you discuss details of the playtest/post content.

Invites, emails - we’re not moderating those discussions now.

[proud trout]

ahhh I see

[night gorge]

[river gyro]

Ah interesting cos the RS email said don’t share info about it but good to know

[dull pilot]

I edited the info channel to reflect that just now.

[delicate sequoia]

isn't skate. publishing the invite info? It's not very secret/

[dull pilot]

Well, yeah. Don’t talk about the details of the build publicly and use the forums for issues, bugs, feedback.

[river gyro]

Nah like it said don’t share that the email is a thing but gotcha

[proud trout]

been waiting since 5/17/2023 to get invited tbh

[river gyro]

Idk when I signed up tbh lmao

[proud trout]

I have checked my emails every single day

[river gyro]

Well now you get in

[proud trout]

at this point I feel like imma get invited when they about to drop the game

[night gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-annoyed-stuck-outside-open-the-door-open-up-gif-16568613

[river gyro]

Ur getting invited start of next month chill

[proud trout]

that isnt 100%

[river gyro]

Yes it is…

[delicate sequoia]

Yeah I think after the 2nd everyone who has filled out the form will have a chance to play before the end of summer/early access.

[river gyro]

Within 4 weeks of 2nd of July so what’s that by July 23rd

[delicate sequoia]

yup

[river gyro]

Yeah I said June for some reason

[proud trout]

ok

so Ive signed myself up again and now I also got to do my friends for him since he doesn't know how to do it

[river gyro]

There you go boom

[delicate sequoia]

Are we allowed to talk about the features shown off in the community playtest videos released by skate.?

[river gyro]

Yes

It’s public knowledge so yes

[dull pilot]

Yes. You can discuss any officially shared info.

[delicate sequoia]

Yall see the bs nose slide rotation to fs. Thats gonna be a fun mechanic

[river gyro]

Wait what vid is that on

[delicate sequoia]

The latest one im pretty sure.

[dull pilot]

It is. You can actually 360° rotate the board in a grind.

[delicate sequoia]

no way

[dull pilot]

Using the right stick, you can adjust the grind in a lot of ways once you’re in the grind.

[river gyro]

No way

[delicate sequoia]

imagine comp

[river gyro]

I can finally do them weird Joey brezinski rail slide to nose slide things

[last tide]

so everyone gets a invite?

[river gyro]

You know what needs to be a thing to hippy jump during Grinds

[delicate sequoia]

It looks like grabs are more dynamic, like you could sort of be in the middle of two grabs.

[river gyro]

That’s kinda sick

[delicate sequoia]

Ima play skate 2 im getting so hyped rn

[last tide]

does everyone get invites who signed up now?

[delicate sequoia]

❤️ sanvansterdan

[river gyro]

That’s what I’ve been doing

The only thing is I’m not yet seeing from the videos much Amsterdam styled areas is that just me

[vale anchor]

pin?

[proud trout]

ello there skyfi

[wraith snow]

Colorful houses, skate in the grind vol 3 talking about an entire canal area like u see in Amsterdam, the shorter brick houses with foliage coming up the sides?

All of that is very Amsterdam styled

[river gyro]

Oh I missed that my bad damn

[boreal raven]

I can't wait shred the streets of San Vansterdam with everyone! 😎🤘🤙✌️

[delicate sequoia]

Ima force all my homies to get the playtest lol

[boreal raven]

Same here. Lmfao 🤣

[wraith snow]

If u check out the grind vol 3, u Can see some side by side photos, and it is a big city like u would see in the US mixed with the more cute and small European architecture

Also the fast travel transport system being busses are also heavily inspired by Amsterdam and Europe in general cause tbf, our public transport absolutely rocks! When it’s on time…

[river gyro]

My homie said he’ll pass :(

[wraith snow]

M-corp got him

[unreal viper]

can you tell us what your favorite mechanic is 🎤

[wraith snow]

Motorcycle mechanic I think? But let’s see what he says (I’m so funny)

[dull pilot]

there's so much that I have fun with.

one of my favorite things to do is to climb a building, set up a kicker, yeet myself off the kicker with a hippy jump, spread Eagle towards a pool and then caveman into the pool.
when it fails, it fails spectacularly. when it sticks, it's so sick.

[wraith snow]

Oh yea @dull pilot smth sick happened, so I moved right? Like a year ago, and I just found out, my “old” city’s council has allocated funds to build a completely new skatepark where an old one was ruined and broken

So my hometown is getting a small park again! 🫡

[unreal viper]

cant wait to join you in the city my guy lol

[scenic gull]

Yo does anyone play ps3 skate 3 trying to get a team together for all achievements

[dull pilot]

#skate-3 is the spot you'll want to post to get traction

[wraith snow]

PS3 is hard to say, Xbox is where most people are at, it’s why I buy gamepass 😂 cause ps3 servers I meet the same people daily haha

[scenic gull]

Ahh damn

[scenic gull]

Cheers I thought I’d ask in both anyway

[river gyro]

I just go around trying to beat everyone at S.K.A.T.E

[wraith snow]

I get on, join a spot battle to chill, I see a guy pick up his board, run the opposite way, and I quit… cause I know I’m about to get tricklined on 🥲

[unreal viper]

lmfao when i get on im just chill skating and then i get speed glitching

[river gyro]

They do that in skate someone I still beat em

[wraith snow]

That’s bc in s.k.a.t.e. it’s abit easier for trickliners not to get it down, where in spot battles they can just spam their stuff haha

[river gyro]

Yeah once you see a glowing hoodie and coloured grip tape you know it’s a trick liner

[meager thistle]

Lmfao

This was me back in the day until people started doing dark catches or whatever never got into those. Hopefully thats not returning.

[wraith snow]

Wdym? Dark catches are fine?

Like if I can’t dark slide a rail or dark catch my board in the air… I’ll be sad

[meager thistle]

I mean the way its spammed to gain point variety is kind of cringe

But that was due to the floatyness of skate 3 lmao. I played skate 1 and 2 and 3 before that was a thing, people randomly started doing it and abusing it and game died for me personally lol

[wraith snow]

Ahhhh ye ye

[meager thistle]

Like 360flip dark catch into manual, Lazer flip dark catch, 360 hard dark catch. Like bruh

I liked when it was just regular lines without the added dark catch to every trick lolol

But yeah dark catch is awesome apart from that of course

I think its because I think of Spot Battle before that was a thing then saw it after and it was kind of sad to see it

[dull pilot]

Ah yes, Tricklining.
I ain’t gonna hate on how someone plays, but legit spamming tricks doesn’t do it for me.

[meager thistle]

I don't mind tricklining at all! I used to play 1-up (and tons of spot battle) & that was a lot of it. Just the dark catch spam mixed into it I never got into

[dusk walrus]

i think it was cool when people started it but it just kinda doesnt mean much when everyone is doing it

[meager thistle]

yeah thats fair.

But it'll never ruin the game for me, You can't go into a competitive match thinking you'll come in first every time. I just like to try my best to place as close to first as possible

Kind of like a racing game ig. You can't get mad coming in 2nd or 3rd in a 10+ man race right lol

Anyways W skate

[dusk walrus]

agree to disagree, respectfully 😂

[meager thistle]

Ah the racing PFP. Bro is used to the W

[dusk walrus]

fr

[serene venture]

Does anyone know if I will need ps+ to play skate.

[meager thistle]

Good question

[dusk walrus]

do not trust me but i know for sure jeff was talking about it and xbox gamepass around this time last grind volume dropped

i cant remember what he said for certain i just know it was brought up in here

[meager thistle]

I googled it.

So free to play games don't require ps+ so you won't need it.

[serene venture]

Sweet

[meager thistle]

I thought that was the case because I played "PlanetSide 2" years ago without ps+ and its also free to play

[serene venture]

I can’t wait for skate. I will be posting so many clips 🙏

[meager thistle]

Its going to be so wonderful for us Skate gamers. We've been waiting too long.

[serene venture]

Ever since I got a PlayStation above 3 I’ve been so sad I can’t play skate 3. I’m So happy that we are finally getting a new game

[raven imp]

same same

[lament bobcat]

its gonna be the greatest when skate. early access comes out so we can post so much clips

[raven imp]

these montages and highlights videos finna be lit 🔥

[meager thistle]

we all feel this pain brotha

😔 ⚰️

[snow lake]

i need the new skate in my life badly

[meager thistle]

badly

[snow lake]

[warm nest]

Is it bad that skate is all i think about at 24 years old… no gf. No life goals. Just skate. 🫩🙏

[river gyro]

Nah I’m also 24 no goals or partner just skate

[delicate sequoia]

Is there any way to make smith grinds easier? in general skate

[warm nest]

Glad i’m not alone 🤘

[sudden warren]

Hello my well behaved squad!

[safe ether]

Play what you play brother. if you ever want another game with similar vibes of full creative freedom and cruising you should check out Shredders.

[warm nest]

Wait skate is out rn? 👁️👄👁️

[sudden warren]

No

[warm nest]

Eh, it’s honestly such a terrible game.. needs lots of fixing

[vale anchor]

[safe ether]

couldn't disagree more but you do you

lol that wasn't me

[vale anchor]

imo, If you think that is a terrible game that needs fixing, you haven't suffered enough with other games. Go play Ark Survival for a few years

[safe ether]

I just treat Shredders like an open snowboard sandbox and haven't ever had problems with it other than that one Crater Park update being kinda boring. It's a tiny team of guys who are deep in the snowboard culture.

[zealous sinew]

Shredders is def not terrible

It’s good. Just not $30 good

[sudden warren]

Halo mcc

Upon release *

[vale anchor]

I actually have not played MCC

[safe ether]

it's $30 now? I got it for $10 when it came out

[vale anchor]

Side note, the Halo server finally got the ability to have a server tag so maybe well see this server have one soon

[meager thistle]

Never even heard of Shredders thank you

[safe ether]

oop actually it was Session that I got for $10. Got Shredders for $20 when it released.

[meager thistle]

Steam Summer Sale is in like a week so I'll see if it goes on sale

[safe ether]

definitely worth it on sale. they also don't do microtransactions whenever they add gear or mountain areas. They have a couple cosmetic things you could buy but the branded stuff in game is better

[meager thistle]

It feels like Skate but with snowboards is what I'm thinking?

I gotta watch some YouTube videos on it

[safe ether]

yeah basically. There's still missions and stuff to unlock things but you could complete them all relatively quickly. It's primarily a free roaming snowboard game with a massive map

[meager thistle]

Cool thank you sounds awesome. I was in love with snowboarding games as a young kid on the ps1 I think right up my alley

[safe ether]

yeah man, tons of fun to just throw on and cruise just like skate. You'll love it!

[oblique pasture]

can’t wait for my invite

[light cosmos]

If you see me out in Caldwell say hi, but if I’m satriales I’m a talkative guy, maybe we’ll eat gabagool for lunch sometime, then go hit the bada bing go and cheat on our wives

[tame path]

That email has me excited

[wraith oxide]

I know that’s why I’m saying we gotta lock in and not let skate die

[final tinsel]

There’s a feee demo for a game called sno, it’s procedural generated skiing

[real nacelle]

Emails are released in waves right?

[safe ether]

ooo on console?

[real nacelle]

I forgot what it said after I signed up

[woven pebble]

1000%. I played and loved the game for a good five years with all of the issues with bugs that never get fixed, regular crashes, and delays from wild card. Thankfully, I finally kicked my ark addiction.

[sudden warren]

Wait what

[sudden warren]

North Caldwell*

[final tinsel]

I don’t think so, if so maybe PlayStation

[viral beacon]

Dude I didn't say anything bad 💀

[viral beacon]

alr thanks

[vale anchor]

I played all the originals as they came out, didn't see a need to

[sudden warren]

Dude they are great! I love MCC. Playing through them all, switching between OG graphics and the remade graphics mid firefight is so cool

[last tide]

will everyone be invited to the next test

[serene venture]

I hope so 🙏

[vale anchor]

Yes. See #1365004983212179578 Vol3

[dull pilot]

Don't forget to submit your questions to #1331689579920625796 for possible inclusion in Vol 4 or 5.

[errant flume]

Any switch 2 news

[rough hare]

Skate will be available on Steam deck?

[dull pilot]

no.

also, sir, this is a Wendy's.

Coach Frank says:

RE: Playtesting Discussion in this Server

you cannot, in any way, discuss details of being in the Playtesting program, receiving emails/invites, your status in the Playtesting program, details about the playtest build or activities as you agreed to the Playtesting Pre-Release Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) when you signed up as a skate. Insider/EA Playtester.

per the agreement, until the NDA is lifted, you may only state "I signed up."

this is not a playtest support server, and we cannot share details on current or upcoming Playtests outside of what we have shared in the #announcements #game-announcements or #1214598970370957374 sections.

all needed information will be sent to invited playtesters via email prior to or as their testing wave starts.

your fellow community members are trying to remind you of this to avoid infractions that could result in the Moderation team giving you a warning, timeout or mute, or even remove you from the server (as it is called out in the #rules - and we don't want that to happen to anyone.)

[proud trout]

cant wait

[solar panther]

Hehe

[last tide]

when should I expect the playtest email

[dull pilot]

before July 2

[mental pewter]

What does the referral code do when signing up to the playtest? Does it give anything to the person who invited you or naw?

[dull pilot]

no. it just lets us know you invited someone.

[mental pewter]

Oh Alr 👍

[meager thistle]

That invite period ended right? Meaning I can't invite a friend to the PT anymore he has to wait for the invite in July

[dull pilot]

They just need to sign up.

[meager thistle]

Ok thank you

[cobalt dust]

[humble tundra]

Is there a limit for the amount of people that can be invited?

[proper raft]

I'm hyped to play skate. Soon I remember my hype for skate 3 I'm just as hyped for skate.

[limber obsidian]

where do i go for the referral code

my friend wants one but this is the first time i'm hearing of such a thing

[dull pilot]

RSVP on https://skate.game/insider

If you already have, just have them sign up. If they sign up before June 27 cutoff, they'll get invited.

[limber obsidian]

thank you

[noble arrow]

i am pretty sure i already signed up like 2 years ago when playtesting was first announced but i just got a email saying rsvp so i did it again

[wraith socket]

🥹

I think the thing is happening

[warped moat]

when i try to play the game it wont recognize my controller + it always double shoulder presses so i cant move normaly what can i do?!?!

[tiny prism]

Post in the insider forums instead of here so you don't get in trouble for breaking nda

[warped moat]

i got it solved it was just my wireless numpad that got falsy recognized as an xbox controller pressing both shoulder buttons lmaoo

[north topaz]

sucks there isnt voice chat chats here

[tiny prism]

Impossible to moderate properly

[north topaz]

but i amm so hyped for skate, but ya makes sense, could be toxic

[tiny prism]

We used to have them here

[north topaz]

did it get toxic?

[tiny prism]

I mean
We do still have them in the party channels group

[north topaz]

ohhh i seee, just made one hahaha

i just signed up yesterday, hope i can get in

[oak field]

isnt skate gonna have proxy vc

[north topaz]

i would think so ya

[oak field]

Idk but I heard someone said they were adding proxy chat

That would be fire ngl

[north topaz]

it would, im chatting about skate if anyone wants to join

[final tinsel]

Proxy chat would be sweet

[hollow hazel]

I’m shaking my fist at some boids that woke me up if anyone wants to join

[north topaz]

someone joined and they have a weird mic lmao

[carmine gale]

I'm tired boss... this is like my billionth time registering to this

signed up yet again, gave my buddy a referral code

[dusk walrus]

you only have to sign up once.

[azure obsidian]

HYPED

[carmine gale]

oops lol

[dire patrol]

Yo this might sound dumb but I think I RSVP for the next playtest in July and filled out the form but I don’t know if I filled out the right thing?

[mossy ivy]

there you go i mentioned you

2016s

[barren nimbus]

Is all ea customer service bots no phone number no actual humans?

[dull pilot]

no, but EA Help can't assist with Playtesting issues.

there's no direct call in number, so you need to go through EA Help website, provide some details, login (if you're able), select a contact option (Chat, Email, call me back - depending on the issue.)

[west scarab]

What were the dates for RSVP and when invites get sent (all the stuff it says before any NDA)

[dull pilot]

June 27 is the cutoff.

[west scarab]

Awesome thanks

[barren nimbus]

So EA help can't assist with playtesting issues? So who can?

[dull pilot]

well, if you're currently in the playtest, you can post on the private forums - as mentioned in the Playtester emails.

if you're not yet, what issue could you be having?

[noble star]

Um, hi

[gentle fiber]

(hello!)

[lyric canopy]

hi sorry just a quick question: if you were already invited into the playtest and had access to the beta before, do your friends need to sign up through the referral in order for them to guarantee a spot? or is it basically just guaranteed regardless that everyone that signs up will get a spot?

[dull pilot]

As mentioned in The Grind, everyone who signs up before June 27 will get invited.

[lyric canopy]

thanks so much!

[noble star]

How old do you have to be to join the playtest

[bold verge]

hello! i have a question about the playtest invite code! if anyone knows of course. how many people am i allowed to invite and would it be with the same code? thanks!

[thorny shard]

Will everyone who joins the playtest get the exclusive items?

[tame path]

Old enough

[noble star]

Which is how old?

[dusk walrus]

18

[noble star]

Do you actually?

[dusk walrus]

yes. it is stated in the terms and yada yada , and its the standard age in usa to sign an NDA

[bold verge]

am i able to invite 3 people for the playtest ? That’s what google is saying but idk lol

[real nacelle]

Emails are released in waves right? I forgot what it said at the end of the sign up

[bold verge]

youll get the info/download starting july 2nd spannig 4 weeks it said

[real nacelle]

4 weeks? how long these tests last?

[bold verge]

the waves start July 2nd, you'll get the playtest download within those 4 weeks and it lasts until the game releases

[real nacelle]

Bummer I was hoping for sometime earlier

[bold verge]

only 2 weeks away!

[real nacelle]

So I would get the email before the start or some time after the start?

[bold verge]

that im not sure of, as long as you RSVP'd you should get it within that time frame

[real nacelle]

RDVP?

[bold verge]

RSVP'd my bad

[real nacelle]

Idk what that is

Nvm I just got something by the courier

My hand only

[dull pilot]

no, just sign up and have your friends sign up.
as you sign up, you'll get the option to get a referral code. give them that code for when they sign up.

[bold verge]

okay i have my code! how many friends am i able to invite ?

[scenic gull]

whaddup

[dull pilot]

everyone who signs up will get the skate. Insider rewards. (and we're going to invite everyone who signs up.)

[dull pilot]

there's not a limit

[bold verge]

awesome

[last tide]

hope I get in, want a chill game to play

[tight hinge]

I signed up but didn’t get in so would I the exclusive items

[hollow hazel]

Did you see vol. 3 of the grind ? If you signed up you’ll get in before early access

Before June 27 anyway

[last tide]

oh really

[hollow hazel]

lol people commenting on the grind vol. 3 posts saying “Im never gonna get invited !” without actually reading the grind vol. 3

[north topaz]

anyone that has signed up, do you see the signup? , i signed up but dont see it, does it dissapear after you sign up?

[waxen apex]

For real

[hollow hazel]

Also the amount of “when is the game dropping ?!” lol, I thought it was huge news announcing end of summer for early access but people didn’t even read that

[waxen apex]

For real. Especially when we have channels for that and the people asking the same old questions are always people that have been in the server for 1+ years

[raven imp]

what is rsvp 🤯

[scenic gull]

Yeah even tho Braddock was hyping it up like mad wild crazy.. it still lived up to it

[hollow hazel]

Responez s’il vous plait

I mean respondez

[raven imp]

do english people use that ?

[hollow hazel]

It just means reply, get back to us sort of thing

[raven imp]

even french people don’t use that

[hollow hazel]

I wouldn’t know my family hasn’t been French for generations

[raven imp]

it gotta be from canada

[hollow hazel]

Nah it’s been used for ages

[real nacelle]

Hey is anyone else having the same issue where you got the email about RSVP form but when you log into the portal it doesn't appear?

Some are also having the same issue on the EA forums

[raven imp]

which portal? in splitgate??

[real nacelle]

Har har

[meager thistle]

[real nacelle]

but fr is anyone else experiencing this?

[raven imp]

what is rsvp form

im fr

[night gorge]

[real nacelle]

the form everyone has to take before playtest

nvm i just realized we all took it when we signed up

[raven imp]

everyone has to take a form? like good buu, majin buu, super buu ??

[waxen apex]

Resilient San Vansterdam Pirates

[raven imp]

yes new guild

[waxen apex]

Sports team even

[raven imp]

jk world shout out healingproof

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/secrets-truth-honest-tim-robinson-skateboarding-gif-9382530666411142601

[hollow hazel]

I wonder if there’s more Tim Robinson/M Corp stuff coming

[sudden warren]

I hope so it would be great

I've seen gifs outside the skate word from that skit. Like outside people using it, it makes me happy

[waxen apex]

I hope so! I hope he's in the game

[hollow hazel]

Yeah ! Seeing as how popular he’s become I think having him in the promotional stuff could bring more eyes to skate. too

[north topaz]

cannot wait to play skate again!, really need to play a chill game

[meager thistle]

real

[hollow hazel]

In just a few weeks time we all gonna be skating in San Vansterdam (assuming we signed up)

[north topaz]

cant wait to hangout in the game, and skate hahaha

[raven imp]

i hope the game will have a good advertising !

[north topaz]

for sure!!, same, i might become a streamer for this game

[hollow hazel]

I wishlisted it because doesn’t that do stuff for numbers (I clearly understand marketing and promotion) but also because it’s so cool to finally see an offical thing on my console

Like it’s almost here 🥹

[north topaz]

how many people signed up?, i hope i get in lol

[meager thistle]

3.7 million

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-evil-one-billion-mike-meyers-austin-powers-hehe-gif-11108917

[meager thistle]

You will.

[north topaz]

omg i cant wait!

[meager thistle]

real

[hollow hazel]

86k members here, 400k+ insta followers, so by my 🤓👆 calculations I’d estimate at least 7 people signed up

[north topaz]

im in voice chat if anyone wants to chat

lmao crazy

does anyone know how skater xl was?

[meager thistle]

I didn't like it.

[hollow hazel]

Seconded

[north topaz]

ah for sure, but we get skate!!!, and its free and gonna continue to get updated!, and it wont be offline!, i kind of feel bad for offline players but then the game would never update so its understandable

[last tide]

Hope I get in

[woven pebble]

You will

[last tide]

I enjoyed skate 2 and 3

[woven pebble]

2 is my favorite map

[last tide]

Relaxing games to play

[woven pebble]

3 has the best tricks

[last tide]

You can add things in this game and do tricks??????

[kind turtle]

Just because a game has an offline mode doesn’t mean it won’t get updates

[hollow hazel]

IMO it’s a fair trade off, I think a constantly evolving and improving world/game is gonna be infinitely better than a single entry with potential DLC like the previous games

[last tide]

I'm ok with online

[woven pebble]

The only thing I care about is have story mode

[last tide]

Skate esports will be a thing for sure

Don't think a story will happen

Pure online as far as I know

[woven pebble]

Skate 2 had a great story. It felt awesome when I beat the game

[north topaz]

true ya, i heard it wont be offline at all, since they need to constant update online

[woven pebble]

It can have an ongoing story online

[last tide]

Hope there is good music in this

[north topaz]

true, they arent making anymore after this, they are gonna update this one forever

[woven pebble]

Which I like. Constantly evolving

[last tide]

Esports for the future will be cool

[north topaz]

ya its nice!, and cant wait

[hollow hazel]

I think the priority for dev should be skating physics > world design (for skating) > actual gameplay > cosmetic/visual polish > story when the foundation is super solid

[last tide]

So june 29th emails start??

Is there beards in this??

[hollow hazel]

They’ve basically said they want this to be around for a long time, so if that meant they kept the actual storyline under wraps until full release, I wouldn’t be upset

I can skate around with homies in the meantime

[woven pebble]

Agreed. I think they’re getting most of it at this point. Just needs more polishing.

[hollow hazel]

I think player/user judged contests would be dope, like the old skate games you can cheese points so it’s not the greatest metric

[last tide]

Played skate many years ago

[woven pebble]

I also hope they don’t patch glitches that made skate 3 so popular, to this day. It’s insane how well that game has held up all these years because people tried to brake the game. One of the reasons I’m still hooked.

[rigid slate]

facts

bouncing around as big black in 2 was my fav thing as a kid lmfao

[woven pebble]

I never did that, but I loved dodging security guards

That’s punk imo

[tidal moon]

question, if i get accepted in the upcoming playtest waves, even after the playtest ends ill have access to the game essentially whenever right until the game is out for everyone in early access?

[woven pebble]

I’m pretty sure you’ll be in when early assess is released.

[tidal moon]

awesome thanks

[woven pebble]

My pleasure

[hollow hazel]

Yeah their latest clip in the grind there’s a dude with a big bushy beard

[woven pebble]

Dude looked pretty rough lol

[hollow hazel]

Is it a sign I’m probably on the spectrum I get really satisfied with realistic looking beards and frustrated when I’m like “no that’s not how a moustache grows”

[hollow hazel]

He was born in skate 1 San Van dam give him a break

He’s the illegitimate child of fabio

[woven pebble]

He had so much potential lol

[rigid slate]

Early assess 💀

[woven pebble]

Is around the corner

[hollow hazel]

It cannot be stopped

[wise cloak]

How does the referral code work? I got invited (playtest) so that means my friends can play too??

[arctic seal]

Can y'all add a tag to this server 🙏

[subtle glacier]

They helped me fix my account y’all and I signed up this time altho I prolly already was signed up I redid it since new one attached now we wait best of luck for those waiting to get in. Congrats to those who are in 👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[loud thicket]

why are so many people hating on the game ?

[potent coral]

Because people don’t understand what a pre alpha means

[river gyro]

• people are expecting it to be a carbon copy of skate 3

[woeful sky]

Anyone who cant log into ea?

[potent coral]

Facts like all the skates had a different feel from each generation skate 1 ,2 and 3 all had their own feel with mechanical slightly changing between each

[river gyro]

Right plus it’s been 15 years

Just copped Pro skater 3 and 4

[scenic gull]

How we doing all

[sullen jewel]

Yeah I don't understand I resive the mail connect my ea account clic to skate play test put my Xbox gamer tag and.... Nothing when a go to the site the skate play test disappear and I can't play it on my Xbox

[river gyro]

You’ve done it correct gotta wait until July 2nd or within 4 weeks after

[sullen jewel]

Why?

4week? .
Bruh...
I signed to the playtest mounth ago... Raaaaaaaaaa

[river gyro]

4 weeks within July so July 2nd to the 23rd

[sullen jewel]

4 week? July 2 to august 2
July 2 to 23rd it's 3 week

[river gyro]

Sorry July 2nd to the 30th

[sullen jewel]

Seems better
Thanks math for this xD

[river gyro]

Since it’s San Vansterdam do we get a Shred light district?

See what I did there

Ill see myself out

[worldly delta]

Yeah i got two

[serene venture]

I just got my second one an hour ago

[worldly delta]

I hope everyone can play the playtest those who signed before 27 as they said.

[serene venture]

Yeah I’m praying I get invited

[fervent sorrel]

I got 4 mails total so far

[rough current]

could be worse, i signed up when playtests was first announced like 3 or so years ago and still havent got it

[sullen jewel]

Oooooh

[rough current]

yeah its been rough waiting, but its finally my time, july cant come fast enough

[sullen jewel]

Yeah x)

[last tide]

[worldly delta]

Same

[river gyro]

I’ve just had the one email

[slender rune]

I had 3 telling me to sign up 🧐

[last tide]

what will the servers be for countries

[slender rune]

what do you mean?

[last tide]

like will na just have one server I hope not a fan of 3 seperate na servers

[slender rune]

OCE will be aus/nz probs hosted in sydney.
NA would depend on player count, usually it'd be a east coast && west coast server

[last tide]

its crossplay so many people anyway

[tiny prism]

#1331689579920625796

[last tide]

ill just ask here since it is a skate discussion chat

[tiny prism]

Yeah but if you ask there, there's an actual chance of it getting answered in #1365004983212179578

We don't know what servers there will be, they just haven't mentioned it yet

[sudden warren]

You 100% will, they've said it!

[worldly delta]

I hope

[sudden warren]

No im trying to tell you, if you signed up, you're in

[worldly delta]

Actually?

[sudden warren]

They will invite EVERYONE that signed up prior to the date mentioned above, in waves

#1365004983212179578 has alot of that info!

[worldly delta]

In waves like in each weeks?

[sudden warren]

They did not specify how often

[worldly delta]

Thanks bro, I really wanted this playtest from a long time ago.

I appreciate the clarification

[sudden warren]

You got it!

[river gyro]

I’m actually quite liking Tony hawk 3+4 I can’t wait to play the pinball map

[brittle hornet]

I just now got my ea account info back yall

we might actually play skate soon. emails up to date. info all right. now wait for July

my b Dyno
San van here we come (in all caps)

[tiny prism]

Can't talk about unofficial emulation here unfort

[rose maple]

sorry

[last tide]

hope I get in

[snow lake]

I got a question. I filled in the RSVP form without a refferal code from a friend (because i didn't have one). I now have the referal code but the form is gone (which is logical). Is there a way that i can still put in the referal code?

[tame path]

Did uhhh . It get harder for anyone?

[tiny prism]

Wuh

[tame path]

It

[tiny prism]

Bro what are you talking about

[tame path]

Nvm

[tiny prism]

ok...

[hollow hazel]

If you’re signed up you will

[sullen jewel]

Yeah i don"t understand i connect by rthe link in the mail
platrest available

• apex
• battlefield
• skate
  I clic on skate put my gamer tag xbox
  and now in
  playtest available : olny BF ans apex and i "my playtest" nothing

[visual raven]

Anyone know if there will be achievements/ trophies for the playtest?

[tiny prism]

Read #1365004983212179578, it answers that

[sullen jewel]

same but are you abkle to play?

[tiny prism]

Invites don't get sent out for another near two weeks

[sudden warren]

That means you've signed up but aren't in it yet

[visual raven]

Make me read a book without saying yes or no for a quick summary lol

[tiny prism]

That's considered a book? It's less than two pages of a book...

[visual raven]

Yes there are

[sudden warren]

There are what?

[visual raven]

Achievements/trophies

[modern radish]

If all books were like that, call me the next Albert Einstein

[tiny prism]

Real lol

Not that much reading at all

[native trout]

So when you get in it will pop up

[sudden warren]

Id assume your invite emails will give you all you need to know!

[native trout]

I signed up this morning so should I just wait for an email

[tiny prism]

There's nothing else you can do

[native trout]

And who will the email be from

[tiny prism]

Like they said in #1365004983212179578, waves start July 2nd

[visual raven]

I love discord because I can ask people questions who have the knowledge. I don’t have to stop what I’m doing and read through a whole thing when I only need one little sentence from it

Not as bad as asking if I’m in the beta already lol

[tiny prism]

Hasn't been a beta yet tho

[snow lake]

Haven't got the invite yet

[last tide]

have to wait

[barren cloud]

I’ve already signed up for the beta

[tiny prism]

How

[barren cloud]

Find out I guess

[tiny prism]

It'd definitely be impressive

[barren cloud]

Then sign up the beta

[tiny prism]

Can't sign up for what doesn't exist 🤷‍♂️

[barren cloud]

Bruh, The sign up for the new skate is open now

[elder fjord]

He's being pernickity about your wording, because it's called a play-test and not a beta-test

[brittle hornet]

Playtests so far are pre alpha?

[elder fjord]

aren't they months away from release though? I thought I read that they're looking to fully release later in the year

because if what the PR is meaning is that the open beta test is months away, then these journo sites are fuckin up the comms with their headlines

[brittle hornet]

nah they releasing early access this year. Full launch is a ways away

[barren cloud]

Play-test /beta same thing

[brittle hornet]

so are apples and oranges my guy

they both be fruits : )

[tiny prism]

I think they still have two pre-'s before the alpha

[elder fjord]

yeesh

[tiny prism]

Persnickity* but the word you were looking for is pedantic 🤓

[elder fjord]

apologies, how pedantic of you 😜

Fair point

[tiny prism]

Hell yeah
Being proven wrong rules, actually

[elder fjord]

this dev cycle is confusing ngl

[brittle hornet]

hey I was just curious g

[tiny prism]

No that was genuine im glad about being wrong lmao

[brittle hornet]

The official in pre alpha 😎

[sudden warren]

Yea it is just one pre

Been that way a while IIRC

[brittle hornet]

that’s what I thought

[north topaz]

if i get in the playtest i am non stop playing

[brittle hornet]

we dropping the pre on July 2 or waiting until September….

[sudden warren]

Not if, but when

[sudden warren]

September isn't mentioned anywhere

[brittle hornet]

end of summer in the northern hemisphere

[sudden warren]

Right. Could be sooner than September. Forgot about the end of summer thing

You can ask if they are just alpha in #1331689579920625796

[brittle hornet]

Lame

Early Access is hopefully dropping in September lol

I’ll be shocked if it’s sooner and disappointed if it’s later

but that’s just a theory a game theory

[eager nexus]

This game is gonna be played 24/7 by me

[last tide]

dont blame you

[eager nexus]

This ish finna be mad fun bro

[waxen apex]

100%

I already signed up for the playtest this month but i just got an email for rsvp and when I signed in there was nothing there. Does that mean It's already filled out?

[tawdry geyser]

If I’m already in the playtest, I don’t need to do the questionnaire again right? I’ll still have access with the next update?

[meager thistle]

Probably

Im sure Braddock will see those questions and get back to you guys

[dull pilot]

If you’re currently in, you don’t need to RSVP.

[empty coyote]

It won’t be later than end of summer and in no measurement does summer go past september. Depending on who you ask, summer ends on last day of august or september 22.

[raven imp]

i think the rsvp has a bug where it appears at the playtest insiders at first

when i quit the page, i was completing and go back to home, it shows rsvp and not skate insiders

[meager thistle]

September 22nd would be end of summer northern hemisphere yeah

[empty coyote]

Astronomical summer yes. But if you ask a meteorologist they would say August 31st :p

[meager thistle]

True that

[sudden warren]

I dont think anybody really goes by August 31st

Plus those weather people are always wrong

[meager thistle]

Yeah but people will argue anything on discord

Sometimes just gotta let them cook.

[vale anchor]

In the summer heat

[meager pilot]

Hi so i received an email for the playtest, im not sure its legit, is [e-mail] a real playtesting email?

[loud thicket]

what does rsvp mean ?

[meager pilot]

Respond to an invitation

[wraith snow]

thats how i skate

[wraith snow]

thats their email yes

[worldly sluice]

when you do the rsvp and you go back to the playtesting like page to see you playtest, is skate supposed to disappear when you do it?

[last tide]

rsvp is saying to register before the 27th, invites will begin begging of week of july 2nd so like the 29th of june

[worldly sluice]

yea ik i did but it disappeared after i did it, im asking if it normal to do that

[last tide]

Hang tight for further download instructions via email starting the week of July 2, 2025

[worldly sluice]

k

[last tide]

maybe 27th 28th invites go

im sure we get in either way

[wraith snow]

just better not talking about it publicly

[raven imp]

i thought nda start when u actually get invited

[untold hornet]

Question: if I had signed up for the skate insider months ago. Do I have to do it again for this upcoming playtest or?

[delicate sequoia]

I would just double check to see if you still have a playtest forum for skate available. It's on the ea playtest site. Just check to see if it's been filled out.

[untold hornet]

Wdym?

It’s cause I received the email but wasn’t sure if I had to redo it

[delicate sequoia]

On the ea playtest website it shows you available playtest and current ongoing playtest. If you have skate in your available playtests; complete the forum.

[untold hornet]

Got it, thanks man

[delicate sequoia]

July 2023 playtest showcase shows variation in trick timing. You can choose to catch the board early or near landing. This game has so much new features.

[sudden warren]

Why do you say that? Not sure if I missed something but I dont see discussion about the contents of the PT

[sudden warren]

You're all set! Sign up is one and done

[vital kernel]

Coach Frank says:

RE: Playtesting Discussion in this Server

you cannot, in any way, discuss details of being in the Playtesting program, receiving emails/invites, your status in the Playtesting program, details about the playtest build or activities as you agreed to the Playtesting Pre-Release Confidentiality Agreement (NDA) when you signed up as a skate. Insider/EA Playtester.

per the agreement, until the NDA is lifted, you may only state "I signed up."

this is not a playtest support server, and we cannot share details on current or upcoming Playtests outside of what we have shared in the #announcements #game-announcements or #1214598970370957374 sections.

all needed information will be sent to invited playtesters via email prior to or as their testing wave starts.

your fellow community members are trying to remind you of this to avoid infractions that could result in the Moderation team giving you a warning, timeout or mute, or even remove you from the server (as it is called out in the #rules - and we don't want that to happen to anyone.)

[waxen apex]

Yeah Frank

[verbal plover]

Git git yea !

[onyx terrace]

My friend send me a code for playtest invite how i redeem

[dull pilot]

Register as an insider on https://skate.game/insider

[vocal echo]

i got accepted after 7 months 😭🙏

[leaden hamlet]

With this recent wave of RSVP emails (that i heard about), a friend code was included so you could get your bestie to play with you. At the time SWIM copied this code in case their friend did not receive the email. What SWIM forgot to do after that is actually place it somewhere safe. So, as you might have guessed it is gone from their clipboard history.

What support (if any) can be contacted to retrieve this code from the survey?

[zealous sinew]

Yes

I won’t be playtesting, just gonna go in raw when the game drops Bc I’m like dat

[hexed locust]

real

[tiny prism]

https://tenor.com/view/brady-lies-not-true-false-come-now-gif-13421817

[hexed locust]

i have no code it has to be true

[leaden hamlet]

yall have any ideas to help SWIM though?

[hexed locust]

i have no idea bro dm a mod for help or sum

[tiny prism]

What is swim

[lament bobcat]

wait just now?

[leaden hamlet]

Someone who I met

[dull pilot]

The friend code isn’t critical to get them in. Just lets us know if you invited a friend.

As long as they sign up, they will get invited.

[onyx terrace]

Im on xbox my friend on pc

[last tide]

can't wait to play and chill

[final tinsel]

Doesn’t matter

[north topaz]

hoping i get in the test lol

[dull pilot]

Okay. Playtest is on PS, Xbox, and PC and crossplay is active.

[vocal echo]

yh 😭

[hollow hazel]

If you’re signed up you will

[north topaz]

sounds good!

cannot wait!, it starts july right?

[hollow hazel]

The grind says update is July 2, so yeah I would imagine invite waves will start going out after that. Don’t quote me though lest you incur the wrath of reptar

[meager thistle]

typesh

[raven imp]

types

[delicate pecan]

guys did they end the playtest?

[waxen apex]

How would we know? This isn't playtest support

[lucid adder]

Would talking about speed glitches be against the rules?

[waxen apex]

For which game?

[tiny prism]

Not inherently but you'd wanna do it in the channel for the game #skate-1 #skate-2 #skate-3

If it's for new skate that's still under nda so far

[waxen apex]

Now where have I heard that name 🤔 💬

[sudden warren]

It is heating up in here I love it

[north topaz]

who said what hahaha, i just show up talking about wanting to play , whos arguing?

[waxen apex]

Flamin

[gentle seal]

Can I still sign up?

[hollow hazel]

Yes, you have until June 27

[scenic gull]

EMAILS ARE GOING OUT?? Oh my oh my not a drill

[waxen apex]

https://tenor.com/view/bosch-drill-bosch-drill-gif-14421094

[scenic gull]

That sir is a drill

Spin the block!

[waxen apex]

Yes. Yes it is

Quite an old drill too

[hollow hazel]

Bosh

[scenic gull]

Not as old as the email (; which i did not get. Yet (; will be staring at my inbox daily

[hollow hazel]

Staring at the fibre optic cables looking for waves

Aligning my chakras with my wifi signal

[verbal plover]

iuthhdutifowts!!!!

I used to have hoop dreams until I found other ways to score

[gentle seal]

Where do I sign up?

[carmine gale]

The only email I have is my confirmation email about ordering The Breakfast Club on Blu-Ray lol

[meager thistle]

Google skate playtesting should see it

[lone bolt]

Good choice

[dull pilot]

That’s a good email.

[sudden warren]

Lmao no i mean there's alot of activity. Not argument!

Totally understand your thoughts tho, my bad!

[lilac maple]

Did you two wanna step outside real quick?

[carmine gale]

Right, it’s coming on Sunday haha

[carmine gale]

$11.99, couldn’t pass that deal up

[proper raft]

Im counting down the days til July 2nd

[lament bobcat]

me too i saw an email it said something like ea playtesting so i was happy but it was a survey

[sudden warren]

Im also counting those days down. Im off the 3rd (and obviously the 4th for the Americans in the house)

[gray fjord]

Hi guys!!

It's been a while since I last messaged here, I saw the latest news and it has me very excited

[sudden warren]

Heck yea

[gray fjord]

This and THPS in July, has me so excited for July

[unique nebula]

Happy Pizza Pie Friday

[dark monolith]

Hey guys, I've returned excited for the game as well. It's been a LONG time since I've posted so some of you guys might not recognize me.

[vale anchor]

I forgot I had pizza last night I could have snagged for breakfast

[gray fjord]

I probably haven't been on as long a break but same here!

[dark monolith]

I joined back in 2022

[gray fjord]

I can't remember when I joined tbh, I think back when they announced the name of the studio developing the game

[dark monolith]

Same

[vale anchor]

July 19, 2021, it's on your profile

[gray fjord]

Ah,,,, I forgot that was a thing lol

I think that was when they announced the studio name yeah

[sudden warren]

Beat me to it lol

[vale anchor]

I have time since I'm sitting here pizzaless

[sudden warren]

Same man

[dark monolith]

How chaotic is it in here nowadays? It's been about 3 years since I've posted anything.

[vale anchor]

Should have been here a few days ago, chat was popping

[gray fjord]

I waited a few days before texting here because I didn't want to experience that wave lol

[sudden warren]

As these invites get sent out, it'll get busy busy

[dark monolith]

Same

[sudden warren]

Calm before the storm for the next week or so

[vale anchor]

enjoy it

[gray fjord]

I'm so excited for July 2nd,, I'll probably stay off the discord as it comes lol

I really cannot wait for Early Access to release, they said it'd be summer in The Grind right?

[dark monolith]

From what I've heard yeah

[gray fjord]

Wait is The Grind public knowledge or

[dark monolith]

I think it's just a blog update on the EA website

[gray fjord]

Ah ok

I don't remember it last I was here, so I wasn't too sure

[dark monolith]

I just read up on it recently, pretty cool stuff.

[gray fjord]

I love the graphical improvements

Looking more like that one snippet they had in one of their earlier trailers!

[dark monolith]

I was just looking at some of the older trailers actually, it's pretty nice

[gray fjord]

I love seeing the differences from then to now

[dark monolith]

Same

[bright rampart]

I can't wait until kids call me a try hard and spam edgy messages.
/s

[vale anchor]

Maybe don't be a try hard then

[bright rampart]

Always pushing knees to chest!

[sudden warren]

#1365004983212179578

All there for ya!

[serene venture]

Since I’m in Australia will the invites be July 3rd for me

[tiny prism]

If it's July 2nd everywhere else

[dull pilot]

Yep. It’s a series of community blogs to get us ready for Early Access.

[fervent sorrel]

Who thought adding more cars is an improvement? 💀

More bloat to render that hinders skating

[bright rampart]

Totally something "not a cop" would say!
Can we teenage werewolf the cars?

[fervent sorrel]

Im serious, a 5 fold of obstructions is a strange priority thinking it adds life when its only in the way

[unique nebula]

Can’t be pizza-less on a Pizza Pie Friday!

[hollow hazel]

Me whenever I go to the city

[scenic gull]

when will the gone viral trophy be fixed

[woven pebble]

What is a “gone viral trophy”?

[scenic gull]

its the skate flu

its bugged and wont pop

[woven pebble]

No clue

[scenic gull]

so its for online, if another player is infected, you get the trophy

[woven pebble]

Which skate game?

[scenic gull]

im on ps3, trying to look for one more person for tlaking bout team practice and skate 3

[woven pebble]

I had no idea that was a thing.

[scenic gull]

oh really?

[woven pebble]

Really

[dull pilot]

Check the main thread in the forums. It was escalated and we’re waiting on an update to the issue.

[scenic gull]

Oh sweet, thank you

[dull pilot]

For sure. Really weird that particular trophy is affected, but we’ve got folks digging in.

[fervent sorrel]

Its probably not something you can answer jeffrey, but if you can - are the servers ready for early access? In terms of stability

[vocal echo]

i got a referral code for someone

[vale anchor]

Knowing that they are letting everyone into the play.test that is signed up next month, it's probably a safe bet that it will be a good test to find out

[meager thistle]

.

[delicate sequoia]

this game is gonna hit 1m hours of total player playtime within the first week. I can already see it. ❤️

[unborn edge]

@dull pilot is that possible to make channel for playtester ? We van optimize the world like this

Also hi ! My bad I lost my polite mood jaha

[meager thistle]

There's a forum for playtesters

Lol

[unborn edge]

Cant find people realistic or anything….

[meager thistle]

I posted something hopefully they see it lmao idk 🤷‍♂️

[delicate sequoia]

lfg skate. ?

[meager thistle]

real

[unborn edge]

Hahaha freedom, you are minifreedom in another account or you are just freedom ?

[meager thistle]

Nah coincidence, My name is Freedom on Steam so I just made it my Discord as well.

[unborn edge]

Oh I see haha did you registered for new playtest and are you realistic ?

[meager thistle]

Probably gonna change it RN to my old school runescape username Commandments actually

[unborn edge]

If yes add me brother eyesmanephe on ea

[meager thistle]

Idk what you mean by realistic lol the language translation is think might be off and yeah I've been testing for a bit

[unborn edge]

Like realistic skater irl haha

My bad I’m French and I suck at english but I try haha

[meager thistle]

Ohhh sorry lol. Im 30 now so not so much but I was thinking about getting a board again recently just haven't done it yet.

[meager thistle]

You're good, I used to skate but just kind of let it go one day but probably should resume

[unborn edge]

Im 36 man, so old now breaking like glass hahaha

[meager thistle]

Yeah lmao

[unborn edge]

Let’s add together and have fun so

[river gyro]

I’m realistic so when I’m in

[meager thistle]

I'm primarily a Playstation player / PC but we can get together in-game when it launches im not sure if its possible right now with the PT running but Early Access definitely

Maybe I'm wrong I'm not sure.

[unborn edge]

Its cross plateforme it’s all good 🙂

[meager thistle]

Ok just not in-game atm but I'll get you added soon

My PSN is SkateByEA

[unborn edge]

Add me on discord

[meager thistle]

Aight done

[delicate sequoia]

Anyone know if black box is working with ea still? I'm just asking because I haven't seen the name much.

[meager thistle]

EA Black Box was shut down in April 2013

Source: Google

[delicate sequoia]

Oh okay thanks.

[meager thistle]

np I was curious about that too

[vale anchor]

But there are some OG devs from BlackBox that worked on the original series that are working on this one

[meager thistle]

Ah nice that makes a lot of sense. They close that studio but retain the devs

[waxen apex]

What's going on everyone?

[delicate sequoia]

just banter 🙂

[torpid torrent]

You’re still young we all are we just need to stretch 😭

If Jackie Chan can still pull off his own stunts at 60-70 ish we can too lmao

[bright rampart]

Stay up on your vitamin C!

[stiff quiver]

What is referral code ?

[raven imp]

the friend code i think

[north topaz]

at least we get to invite friends

[dull pilot]

as the Playtest is still under NDA, not at this time.

we will be doing a Discord server update before Early Access.

[serene venture]

On console what fps will skate. be on

[scenic nova]

probably 60 at least

doubt it'd be any less than that, surely it's gotta be smooth

[raven imp]

what gen

[serene venture]

Ps5

[raven imp]

prolly 60fps for ps5 and 30fps for ps4

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[frosty carbon]

post the game already

this shi taking to long

Gta 6 is gonna come out before this game

https://tenor.com/view/hurry-the-fuck-up-hurry-up-late-come-one-hurry-gif-13048364

[tiny prism]

Everything non-nintendo pretty much

[serene venture]

It comes out end of summer in the us that’s only like 2 months

• the play test you can sign up for

[rough current]

i mean on a technicality the games been posted for like 3 or so years

[meager thistle]

Gottem

[sweet vale]

One question, are Nike, Jordan, etc. present in the game as outfits or cosmetics?

[raven imp]

yes there is Dickies

[meager thistle]

lmao

[bright rampart]

Bro gonna be so disappointed when there's no carjacking in skate. Or will there?

[unreal finch]

Why do people keep saying that? Lol

[tropic wraith]

I hope they add in the car bumper grabbing from skate 3.

[hollow hazel]

If not I’ll slingshot people into spots for speed

That would actually be a fun mechanic lol imagine holding your homies hand as he’s sprinting toward a bump to bar

[oak cloud]

how do i get my friends a referral code?

[granite tusk]

Will this giant wave of invites come with updates to the NDA? Or will the NDA still be in place on July 2?

[topaz sundial]

Where is my code to play the playtest in ps5

[radiant latch]

We wouldn't know even we could tell you.

[topaz sundial]

I was waiting very time

I just want to play it

[raven imp]

it’s dropping next month if u sign up 🔥

[fiery prairie]

I hate the playtesting videos its been forever yet it looks like crap and thats the kind of quality we will get in early access maybe abit better. Why is there even an early access and not a fully complete game releasing already…

[unreal finch]

Maybe because the game isnt finished?..

[fiery prairie]

But its been forever

[woven pebble]

It really hasn’t

[visual oracle]

local man discovers the fact that games take a long time to make

[fiery prairie]

What else have they been doing

[woven pebble]

Working on it

[visual oracle]

probably living their lives?

[fiery prairie]

Work wise

[visual oracle]

Probably work on the game, what else would they be doing?

[fiery prairie]

Doesn’t seem like it

But we will see

[worthy crystal]

Fucckkk

[visual oracle]

okay dude.

[worthy crystal]

How dead will this game be?

I give it a solid 9 on the deadness scale

[visual oracle]

okay?

[unreal finch]

Considering a new skate game has been what people have wanted for the past decade and a half, probably 1

[visual oracle]

what are you hoping to accomplish with this?
