future updates and seasons need to add a ton of color variants to existing clothing options. I've said it before but I need simple red tennis shoes for my character and at the moment something that basic is just not in any of the boxes. At the moment there's plaid tennis shoes and red loafers and these are too conspicuous for my outfit

With the power of God & Anime on your side.

[rough knoll]

4 more coop challenges if anyone can help

[muted ether]

seen a guy tricklining on my tiktok and the comments are everyone going "ok now i'm hyped for the game" 💔💔💔 are we deadahh

[kind scroll]

where is steppin up?

[vagrant fulcrum]

it wants me to do two flip tricks and grind and manual this overhang. all in one sequence. i feel like im going insane.
@kind scroll level 10 hedgemont mission

[agile copper]

Wait…there’s more to skating than tricklining..? Like what????

-# this a type of joke wherein I gaslight you

[twin blade]

Is anyone aware of the stuck under the map bug when you last logged out while in a community park? Have read online that the fix requires someone else online to help. Currently unable to play the game

[unborn condor]

You will get this done i belive

[hybrid hawk]

You just need to get enough speed to get onto it, all the tricks don't have to be on it if you land in a manual that's still a sequence

[faint sand]

tricklining on flat needs to be fixed imo they need to make sure that you either need downhill to trickline or you need to work in vert / grinds to maximize score. Right now trickliners are using an exploit where landing sketchy in a certain way maintains / builds speed on flat and I don't like this

[muted ether]

how is tricklining where people finally like the game i'm gonna be sick bro

[agile copper]

@rose sphinx you’re needed Master Bruce

[kind scroll]

once i finish all of the challenges and the dailies, the only way to level up is to wait new dailies?

[vagrant fulcrum]

but how do i land in a manual and then drop down to a grind in one sequence?

[rose sphinx]

flip trick into a grind, trick out of the grind into a manual, grab if you need extra points at the end

[faint sand]

IMO the meta should always, always involve interacting with the level geometry wherever you are and that means that attempting to trickline on flat should make you slowly lose speed at best even if you do it perfectly

[stable dagger]

Delete megaparks, they arent realistic and i dont like them

[grand herald]

when are the founder packs going to leave skate?

[rigid walrus]

dec 2 i think?

[fierce iron]

🔒

[rigid walrus]

🔑

[agile copper]

Interesting take. Half of the fun of mega parks is that they aren’t realistic, and it gives us a fun hypothetical to enjoy because we can’t actually skate them in real life.

Really because of insurance and liability, not even because we couldn’t make them. Elon or Bezos could 1000% make one if they wanted to lol. We need to convince them to join the skate community. Lmao

[tiny prism]

I don't want either of those scumbags near skateboarding ngl lol

[wise tendon]

so for some reason CPT reappeared on my library when early access was installed

[fierce iron]

Did y’all’s challenges update? [east coast]

[vagrant fulcrum]

well, thank god the game is broken. i just did the objective without even being at the spot. lol.

[opaque crest]

Aren’t there megaparks in real life?!

[rose sphinx]

this is normal, cpt and skate. are under the same client.(ignore it)

[stable dagger]

In 1.5 hours

[faint sand]

imo the game should be balanced so that no matter where you are, if there are grinds ledges or vert nearby the meta will always involve some amount of improvisation to use those optimally, this is what keeps comp interesting because it means that there's a different optimal strat that needs to be solved for whatever area you're in

[low wyvern]

Hey it actually worked I'm so hyped I can sesh again thanks I'm myloren01 hit me up for a sesh sometime

[grand herald]

my stuff from this beta to actual release is going to transfter right?

[vagrant fulcrum]

no but those "aren't real" because this guy said so.

[fierce iron]

Thank you!

[ebon summit]

not a beta, early access

[faint sand]

Skate 3 comp lost a lot of depth from the use of street stuff like ledges being sub optimal and I don't want to see that happen again

[fierce iron]

They said in the email this is the last reset.

[fierce iron]

[delicate hemlock]

hey is there a list of all the buyable stuff from the shop ?

[merry badger]

Messed around and made it to other side of the bridge

[fierce iron]

Send a post card Upper Penninsula

[late lark]

thats roughly where im stuck

[agile copper]

Honestly so fair. I just want their money. Not themselves

[merry badger]

Community park glitch?

[late lark]

yes and no, I got flung out of the map 😂

[agile copper]

I completely forgot about those. I am dum🤦‍♂️

[merry badger]

You can’t just tp back? I’ve been messing with the launch glitch and you can tp even when being thrown above the maps sky box

[late lark]

im super stuck, cant even place a spawn point

[faint sand]

fyi everyone if you're ever stuck try this, I've had moments where I thought I'd triggered the softlock glich and actually been able to teleport out

[sweet otter]

Can i ask for a code to the playtest? 🙁

[limpid zenith]

LOL

[merry badger]

I’m wondering if it will go away if they join a party and have someone start a challenge

[simple nacelle]

yes, in 9 days

[hollow delta]

that is like against the NDA that was dropped no one is allowed to share/ give codes as its like selling accounts ._. @sweet otter Not anymore ur late by 2-3 months

[sweet otter]

I´ve heard u can be invited

[faint sand]

it is possible to get your session marker stuck out in the middle of nowhere in a way that looks like a softlock but you can actually just teleport, and then there are cases where you can't. The latter case you need to be rescued

[limpid zenith]

Well you're wrong.

[late lark]

waiting to hit level 9 and going to try to teleport to the shop, im earning xp in coop aha

[simple nacelle]

yes, I invite you to play on 16th

[rose sphinx]

last day for signup was july 27, if you didn't sign up, you'll get invited on the 16th.

[empty pier]

Yeah comp/tricklining never really appealed to me and I remember playing online and wanting to just do some cool stuff and seeing other people go super crazy on it was like... damn.

But that's kinda the thing with skate is that because of how it works there's room for both realistic skating and unrealistic stuff, and as a consequence you get weird culture clashes like that. I'm unsure how you'd solve this other than by introducing some kind of "Hardcore mode" server which forbids tricklining/comp stuff in some way, but even then in Skate 3 people were still doing it on Hardcore difficulty.

[limpid zenith]

Real talk I physically cannot stand trickliners because if you wanted to play a spot battle or really anything that required a bunch of points like a game of 1up, you'll just get spammed out by a person who learned darkslides. Stuff like that was always super super cringe to me ngl 💀

[faint sand]

the tricklining / comp on flat happened because you kept your speed doing it in skate 3 which not only isn't realistic but is not the best recipe for the health of the game's competitive aspect because it makes it overly simple and non-improvisational, making it entirely dependent on tech skill and nothing else. Skate. looks like they tried to fix it but there is still an issue with landing sketchy where you keep your speed. If this is fixed then you'll lose speed when tricklining and have to do something else to keep it which will help the game's meta be more complex

[merry badger]

I’ve done 15 or so throw downs, I have no problem winning but it’s so boring to flick sticks to 100k+ score. Give me spot battles/s.k.a.t.e instead. Spot battles could be everyone gets 3 chances to get highest score

[faint sand]

I would also suggest that the game's meta needs to be balanced in such a way that you get a substantial advantage from working ledges, grinds, verts, etc. into a trickline, so that if you are in an area that slopes downhill it's not meta to just avoid those

[late lark]

have they changed the teleport selection while spectating?

[unborn condor]

I feel like comp is gonna be hard to do in skate. if everyone plays on their own adjusted settings

[umbral sierra]

people will just follow youtube guides, there is already "best settings for comp" video

[late lark]

just answered my own question.. must have been because i was in a party

[faint sand]

one thing that would really help is if there is some aspect that grinds or jumps has on score that you can't achieve normally, so you get a big bonus every time you work it into a sequence. Like if you do entirely flip tricks your sequence will hit a score gain cap even if it's a different flip trick every time, and you need to work in lateflips, grabs, grinds etc.

[severe citrus]

Of course people are comping in this game.... 🤦🏼‍♂️

[limpid zenith]

This is kinda why I hate the skate metas almost every single time. It's just a bunch of drones killing the individuality of it all. Instead of them tryna work stuff out for themself they're like "what's the most optimized stuff possible."

[brisk jetty]

Wouldn’t that just introduce more complex meta combos that are even more unattainable for the regular player?

[unborn condor]

Bro these guides made competetive games so much worse. Back in Cod4 everyone just played what they liked not whats the best gun with the best attachments nowadays its so annoying

[merry badger]

I also want a community area where everyone can meet up, wouldn’t mind a beginning session spawn point/area. riders republic did a good job with this

[faint sand]

"unattainable for the regular player" is kind of the point of a meta, the goal is not that anyone can do it, the goal is that there's substantial depth and it is interesting for both the people doing it and the people watching

[opaque crest]

i play games like that still, dont care about meta stuff, some times i try, but most of the time its boring

[empty pier]

I don't know much about point scoring (I mostly play to vibe and get cool clips) but as far as I can tell I think grinds/mannies giving more points would help with variety.

[late lark]

thats where I am. you dont want it. its hell. I see peoples decks pop in and out and lots of vehicles spawning onn the map

[merry badger]

A non purgatory glitch area xD, I’d imagine it solve a lot of problems if they didn’t place spawn point under map

[steel grove]

we need keyframes ‼️

[opaque crest]

new tasks in 58 mins, alr claimed todays ripchips gearhunter?

[reef otter]

lalalala :)

[limpid zenith]

Like 80% of the time that's not exactly a good thing to say ngl. Instead of it feeling like a cool thing where you're like "wow, I wanna learn to be like these guys!" Most people will just go "wow, I don't wanna learn that." And will just not even pay attention to the comp scene because they keep doing the same exact tricklines every single time for the best point optimization.

[umbral sierra]

btw does nollie 360 hards looks off for anyone else?

[rigid walrus]

7/10 of those settings might the opposite of what's best for that individual player, but they refuse to not use them because "my favorite content creator said they're the best!"

[steep ocean]

hey guys can someone help me get unstuck from under the map : (?

[opaque crest]

u can just use the inbuilt replay feature of ur pc or ps5, so just go into replay menu, hide the UI, scroll that line and move the camera, BAM nice video

[faint sand]

the latter part is fixed if the strategy is different based on what location you're in, that's what I'm suggesting to be the case

[long valley]

Anyone has a spare ps5 code dm me

[limpid zenith]

Yeah and then when the meta is fixed on one specific area for the top point gain (like how mega park was in skate 3) then people will only pick that area.

[umbral sierra]

doesn't work like that as your account needs to be part of the skate insider program

[rigid walrus]

not how it works, sorry

[late lark]

I should offer my account up for those desperate to play 😂

[icy pilot]

Just invite the discord round for a pizza party

[sonic portal]

Does anyone know how to do the stunt mission “sound check”? When I complete it, it doesn’t pay out credits or xp and still shows uncompleted on the map

[faint sand]

that's simply not true lol people only pick like 2 or 3 areas in skate 3 because it's the only areas with any variation to the meta, because of the fact that grinds and verts in most areas have no affect on the meta. It's not because that's where you get the most points

[modern radish]

I saw you could do slow flip tricks, how do I make them go slow?

[umbral sierra]

flick slowly

[muted ether]

flick slower

[opaque crest]

many people dislike the artstyle of the new skate and complaing about the skate culture, are u aware of that?

[steep ocean]

can anyone help me get out of under the map please ?

[empty pier]

Slow flicks over stuff like staircases/ledge drops.

[rigid walrus]

nollie pop shovs are easy for these, and they look so good 🫦

[modern radish]

dm caspar2780 when you get the chance, he’s the search and rescue team

[sonic portal]

Can anyone help me with the mission “sound check” it always shows uncompleted after I complete it, it’s in hedgemont

[merry badger]

It’s broken, they know and are working on a fix

[icy pilot]

These people are the same people who don't realise , we did this to skate, look at the majority of the skate content over the last 10 years, most creators liked the wacky stuff for videos and that kinda just echoed into this game tbh, I'm with you but at the same time we did kinda do this to ourselves 😆

[umbral sierra]

bugged, no fix

[opaque crest]

on what side am you with me??

[muted ether]

someone finally said it, blame the 90% of skate youtubers with zero skate background that are all corny

[sonic portal]

I see, thank yall very much 🙏🏼

[limpid zenith]

Honestly I don't see it like that at all, otherwise people would be picking out tons of other areas that are more interesting to skate than just mega park over the last 15 years. Seriously, I had to unironically convince a bunch of people to skate other places because they were too addicted to only playing one part of the map. The area was basically the meta spot for not only tricklining, but for getting the most air legitimately. It's like the only place I know 900s are legit possible because I've hit one there 💀 when this game gets fully meta'd. One spot will be the favorite while tons and tons of others spots will go neglected for everything other than basic mission stuff.

[rigid walrus]

looks a little strange at the peak, right before u catch it again. also some clipping

[modern radish]

Who cares if there’s no culture, just skate and have fun

[merry badger]

I create my own culture

[muted ether]

zexyzek doesn't even know what a wallie is btw

[umbral sierra]

people also have to remember why blackbox even went under, realistic skating games are a niche, the only reason EA made this new game is because people begged for it and the crazy stuff is hella popular, the fact that you can do realistic stuff in it is a blessing that we should not take for granted

[icy pilot]

No idea, but personally I just look at skate as a game I can play with a realistic style if I want to, if a new SIM comes out though il be all over that too though , XL and session just don't cut it anymore for me

[faint sand]

Vstarr, a competitive area is a competitive area, if you can't get as many points people can still compete for the highest score possible in that zone. This is how every game works. The problem with Skate 3 is that the vast majority of areas have a meta that is flat out uninteresting and that's why no one does comp there.

[modern radish]

I still don’t know what a wallie is and people have explained it to me many times

[signal pebble]

ollie+wallride

[opaque crest]

i wanted skater XL so bad for me to work, but only got like 60h in, skate. do me 120h already

[muted ether]

sad state skateboarding media is in nowadays

[umbral sierra]

using a wall/ledge as a "jump boost" you basically do a small wallride

[icy pilot]

I know what a wallie is, I just don't entirely understand the physics behind doing one irl 🤣

[modern radish]

Exactly! That’s what I meant lol, I understand the idea but like… how does that happen

[halcyon grail]

I can’t for the life of me understand how to throw my board at a wall that way to ride up something like that

[muted ether]

me either just like slappies, i cant wrap my head around the fact that i have to basically drive my board into a wall/curb

[icy pilot]

Same with late flips I don't know why but they just seem like wizardry to me, any time iv tried iv lost the board

[weak grove]

You basically just launch your board into a wall and the speed bumps the board upwards

[limpid zenith]

You're missing my point still, that as soon as one spot is considered as better than the rest then every other spot is immediately gonna go neglected by all the other players because they see no creativity in those spots. Even in skate 3 with speed glitches and popping you can do a lot of cool, cool stuff. It's not the fault that the comp players do the same 3 lines instead of doing really really cool stuff 💀

[grave briar]

Has anyone been able to complete the market mile victory lap mission

[modern radish]

I have

[umbral sierra]

its possible to complete every mission in the game

[faint sand]

I don't think I'm missing your point at all, my point is that the fact that there is no creativity in other spots is a balance problem with the core gameplay and not the spots themselves

[muted ether]

late shuvs also make no sense 😭 once im in the air and already popped my trick, the only thing im doing is coming back down cuz im not about to argue with gravity

[molten mural]

ive done all of them

[mystic falcon]

not if its glitched

[opaque crest]

my fav skatespot at the moment is rolling waves skatepark. bro if we hat that like this in our yout.. bro we had an old pipe laying on concrete, and we skatet that pipe all day every day

[grave briar]

What does it mean by blocks in market mile (forgot about the timeout to speak so i seem quite stupid now)

[solid bobcat]

saving the rest of my rip chips for brickswich boxes, hopefully they hold some real heat in them🙏🏾

[umbral sierra]

different areas in the district, just skate around

[modern radish]

The little sections of the area, they have their own little titles

[merry badger]

Ye, except for sound check cause it’s glitched

[brisk jetty]

Metas ruin competitive gaming but its inherently a factor of competition - where theres competition there’ll be people looking for a meta

I’m biased because I’m a realistic player, I can trickline and used to do so on skate 3 - it’s just not what I enjoy most, it’s just not skating .. it’s a product of skate

(Didn’t mean to reply my bad)

[icy pilot]

Yeah, tbh it's something that always makes me laugh, especially in the skating SIM video game communities, "that's impossible" 🤣 no .... Evidently nothings impossible anymore, I've seen a dude full on back flip onto a coping like skate 🤣

[mystic falcon]

just tp around and skate a bit

[faint sand]

"metas ruin competitive gaming" is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read and it makes me wonder if you know what a meta is

[modern radish]

Isn’t meta like the vr thing /j

[molten mural]

im lvl 9 in hedgemont, 8 in gullcrest and 6 in market, anyone higher?

[severe citrus]

I did a kickflip off a wallride in an edit and I guarantee as crazy as that is, someone has done or will do that irl

[merry badger]

Metas get banned in serious comp games

[umbral sierra]

10/ 10/ 7 for me

[mystic falcon]

hedge 10 gull 9 market 7

[faint sand]

if by "meta" you mean "a meta where the best option in any situation is usually the same and overly simple" yeah that's universally bad. But every game has a meta, meta is just "what is the most optimal thing to do" and it can absolutely be complex and reward creativity and have a high skill ceiling

[modern radish]

I think I’m at like 10/8/7

[icy pilot]

Metas ruining gaming in the sense that your never coming across anything but the same old loadouts imo, but it's not the death of games or anything it's just kinda boring imo I personally always try anything but the meta in shooters tbh but that's just me

[molten mural]

assuming you have done all missions and challenges

[heavy gulch]

6/6/6 in all and I’m keepin it that way

[merry badger]

I’m 10 in all districts as of 2 days ago 🙂

[faint sand]

only if they're overpowered, like in fighting games characters are only banned if they are SEVERELY overpowered and have no counterplay which is not that common

[limpid zenith]

Nah it's that the skate community is reliant heavily on doing the same exact tricklining stunts every time instead of innovating more and more with how you could transform these more barren parts of the map into competitive monsters. The core gameplay is a flaw flat out because of how tricklining functions, causing the same people to do the same optimized tricks every single time instead of innovating on anything. When this game has its own spot akin to mega park in the community then most people are gonna only play it instead of going around the whole map to innovate and create new and creative lines.

[muted ether]

ngl i agree with him mostly (i dont agree metas are bad for all games cuz i play comp pokemon and *su) but i think meta in a skate game is kinda weird. but i am also vehemently against tricklining/comp and yes i do understand people are entitled to play how they want

[late lark]

10, 9, 8 but I haven't played in days..

[mystic falcon]

yes

[molten mural]

is sound check glitched for anyone else?, like ive done it 4 times and still isnt completed

[umbral sierra]

for everyone yes

[merry badger]

Tru, I wasn’t referring to meta gamestyles but meta items such as gun/chracters/attachments/util

[mystic falcon]

some missions dont show up as completed even tho they are so just remember them

[faint sand]

A healthy meta is one that is constantly being reinvented or is substantially different depending on the situation. That's still a meta.

[merry badger]

This, it’s the only reason apex survived as long as it did

[late lark]

my new method to break free from hell - join invites and close game, start game and close game. I'm not making it to the end of a loading screen, hopefully when I do it will spam me off somewhere 🤡

[icy pilot]

Yeah, just some games the meta can really ruin an interesting game, mostly games like tarkov where you basically have unlimited customisation, but tbh, as I said I'm not against it, I just don't follow them myself

[molten mural]

cant wait till deadlock launches and kills every game

[empty pier]

As someone that plays both skate and THPS I think comp people should just play THPS

[late lark]

anti meta everytime, more rewarding for the win

[icy pilot]

Is that the new steam game? If so, I tried it and tbh.. not for me 😆

[merry badger]

If valve allows a console version, if not then the world Keeps spinning

[muted ether]

thank you

[brisk jetty]

We have different opinions and that’s okay

[opaque crest]

that feeling u forget to set a session marker

[molten mural]

just gotta get good

[umbral sierra]

i think trickliners are fine to exist in the skate game, all i ask for is a option to rule them out in competitive modes in the future

[merry badger]

I’m just happy I don’t have to pay for helicopter rides like in riders republic 🤮

[opaque crest]

i have like 150 of them still

[hallow yacht]

I never used them and been playing since launch lol

[empty pier]

This conversation does remind me of the discourse around BF6 though, and how a lot of the "Movement players" from COD and Apex are mad that BF6 isn't as slide/dive/bhop heavy.

Both things are cool but like, it's like if you went to an ice cream shop and got mad that every flavor wasn't cookies and cream. Some people want strawberry, man.

[molten mural]

it would be pretty much impossible, to many keybinds, league is massive and pc only same with cs, and if they had crossplay you would get stomped by pc players

[empty pier]

And also all the people that want every flavor to be cookies and cream are too scared of true perfection, which is chocolate chip cookie dough AKA Titanfall 2. I said it.

[steep ocean]

Please someone help me get unstuck 🙁

[rigid walrus]

it's definitely going to snag some moba peeps, but the game has already gone niche and it hasn't even released yet. gotta give them props for running a proper beta/playtest with forums and stuff tho, imagine if they did the same for cs2 instead of rushing out the door and leaving it to die on its cheater-infested ass for 2 years

[lime coral]

Dm me

[molten mural]

60k in beta is niche apparently, i mean stats wise cs is still killing it, and alot of big streamers have been playing it

[merry badger]

I play cs/val on pc and played Val on console it just doesn’t feel right, they’ll have a hard time prying ppl off those two games

[faint sand]

my argument is that if tricklining on flat and not engaging with other mechanics is not optimal, then people will not do it, and that's the way it should be. Tricklining should absolutely be encouraged but it should be a way of stringing sequences between other mechanics like grinds and jumps, which you should be rewarded enough for interacting with that someone who only does flip tricks and manuals will lose

[icy pilot]

nah not liking a game isnt about getting good, its just not my kinda game, i prefer games like squad or insurgency, hero arena games aint for me

[severe citrus]

"Tricklining should absolutely be encouraged"

🤮

[molten mural]

val is dying, and cs is well cs lol

[vagrant fulcrum]

people are actually wanting that in BF6? 😭

[lime coral]

@steep ocean if my DMs are not open I failed lol.. let me know your in game name, or add: LoadedGamer in game and I'll party and come free ya

[empty pier]

Yup lol. After the beta ended the devs said they were going to adjust movement to nerf stuff like bhopping and some people started throwing a hissy fit.

[steep ocean]

@lime coral my in game name is j0vann

[molten mural]

fair enough, most of the people saying they dont like it just suck and refuse to learn, i was like that but after playing it for 35 hours this week im starting to understand the basics lol

[muted ether]

tricklining shouldve died with skate 3 🥀

[faint sand]

tricklining is just stringing together flip tricks with manuals, it's just an optimized version of what Skate. already encourages you to do with its higher level missions. My argument is that you should still be doing it but you should be forced to interact with every mechanic to get the highest score instead of just ignoring most of them like in previous games

[twin marten]

not to flex,but i just hitted 70 ripchips guys 🔥 🔥 🔥

-# new box incoming

[vagrant fulcrum]

i've been a CoD guy longer than a BF guy with BF1 being my first. and even i think that's ridiculous..lol

[molten mural]

ive almost done over half the boxes, ive almost done the first tab

[twin marten]

yea same i'm 10,10, 9, just talkin sht lol

[molten mural]

i cant wait till we unlock the next area with missions, it has such a cool style

[vagrant fulcrum]

i just hit hedgemont level 10 🙂

[empty pier]

Yeah it completely baffles me. If someone likes the sliding and hopping movement stuff they still got COD. That series is gonna outlive all of us. Idk why someone would go into a different game and go "It should be exactly like this other series I play" lmao.

[molten mural]

ill hit it once missions reset cause ive done everything today

[faint sand]

my point is that skate 3 is balanced so doing as many flip tricks in as short a time as possible gets your score up so fast that there is almost no reason to do anything else, whereas ideally chaining flip tricks and manuals is a "filler" action with diminishing returns, that you do in between interacting with locations in the game world with jumps, ledges, vert, grinds etc. that are rewarding enough that you have to work them into your line/sequence

[rigid walrus]

niche doesn't mean dead. cs has absolutely crazy numbers, yet it's actually still a niche game in the grand scheme of things, because of the depth of the mechanics and the available platforms. same thing with deadlock vs. a more surface level moba like hots, both in terms of gameplay perspective/aim, and build depth

[twin marten]

i'm not playing for score, i'm playing for clips

[severe citrus]

Simulator games are niche but also not dead a lot of the time.

[faint sand]

that's fine. I just want to "fix" comp. I want it to stop being controversial and boring.

[twin marten]

theres always that one trickliner in mp comps

[severe citrus]

That is never going to happen.

[faint sand]

even if you're still spamming flip tricks like currently do, it will be much more fun to watch if you're doing that to route in between grinds and vert which you are still engaging with

[merry badger]

Cs2 is fun to play cause my load outs but anything past pink/red 25k is full of cheaters. Val is just Val

[molten mural]

cs is literally one of the most popular shooters, and deadlock is massive, literally everyone is talking about the game, i cant escape it, its on my youtube feed and tiktok

[rigid walrus]

that's the algorithm

[faint sand]

All it takes is a balance adjustment. That's it. Make the most boring solution not be the most optimal. Whether you think the devs will do it is one thing, but it is absolutely possible for them to.

[twin marten]

people who trickline are not innterested in fairplay, don't put troo much energy in that thought process

[teal plank]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[molten mural]

i mean its even on my twitter and i dont follow anything on there

[severe citrus]

Dawg, take yo meds.

[faint sand]

I don't understand what people aren't getting about this. If tricklining on flat and not engaging with other elements makes you lose, people will not do it. And all it takes to make that the case is balance adjustments

[vagrant fulcrum]

never heard of deadlock

[mystic falcon]

why is Brickswich not playable yet (as in mission/story line)

[bitter cobalt]

speed glitch still a thing !!?

[rigid walrus]

val has the hero shooter issue of an ever-expanding roster, which isn't really sustainable. it can definitely keep the core players hooked for longer, but it makes onboarding and growth harder. i still love cs2, but the way valve rolled it out and are ignoring cheaters while making $10+ mill a day on lootboxes is grotesque

[twin marten]

they grind for 1 sec max bro, there is no balance mech that would grip fast enough to actually work like a balancing

[faint sand]

you lack imagination if you think this is an unfixable problem

[molten mural]

i mean deadlock has almost as many players as marvel rivals has and deadlock is only in beta

[bitter cobalt]

if so can someone lmk how to do it

[warm nest]

Wsg fellas & ladies

[twin marten]

i'm coming from gamedesign brother 😄 they do 10 tricks on a 5m rail, they dont even have to balance since they are just spammng - even WITH a balancing mech

[rigid walrus]

it's still the algo. you think everyone else sees deadlock stuff? marvel rivals has a dedicated client, same as overwatch, plus console releases. steam numbers don't paint the whole picture, but for deadlock they do

[vagrant fulcrum]

oh it's a moba..
no wonder i havent heard of it

[brisk jetty]

Yeah I hadn’t heard of it either, but I’m nowhere near that space

[fiery ivy]

Can’t wait to see what we have to do for the dime glory challenge

[merry badger]

I got bored and decided to make a tree house

[fallow plinth]

been in the alpha since may of last year, that game is going to absolutely take over

[opaque crest]

lulz, im 8/7/6 what are u guys dooing!?

[molten mural]

i mean yeah i mean just steam stats, still tho deadlock being at 60k and rivals being at 90k is still a crazy amount of people for a beta

[twin marten]

living in san van - i'm local 😎

[fiery ivy]

10/10/8 I’m eating a burger lol

[merry badger]

I now want a Lorax onesie and I’ll remain in the trees

[molten mural]

same, i think the game wasnt that good when the alpha started, but with this newest update the game is so much better, 3 lanes is much better and the new heros have been so fun

[modern radish]

i just got home and about to eat lunch

[faint sand]

I'm coming from game design as well and literally if your balance results in the optimal strat being something bad it means you balanced wrong.

Doing the most tricks in the shortest amount of time will always be meta but there are infinite possibilities for how you design the mechanics to make sure the optimal solution is using as many different types of tricks as possible. If your problem is them doing too many tricks too quickly that's a you thing, but it would still be a much healthier meta if the optimal strategy involved doing every type of trick, meaning grabs, lateflips, etc. and not just grinds, flips and manuals

[bitter cobalt]

anyone know how to do the speed glitch?

[umbral sierra]

hippie jump backflip + caveman is one of them

[prisma bluff]

Hippy jump + spread eagle

[bitter cobalt]

bet brodie

[hardy edge]

Bars

[molten mural]

now a game that has taken over silksong, i gotta stream it so i havent played it yet, but it crashed steam payment

[manic leaf]

anyone know how to get out from underneath the map? Have restarted game multiple times

[rigid walrus]

never said it wasn't doing well. and it won't crash and burn like artifact when it releases, but i doubt it's going "take over" much of anything, except perhaps the moba scene for a lil bit

[twin marten]

i'm with u on that thought don't get me wrong bro, i just think even if theres a way to balance it more, people with find a new solution to counter those stuff - like in tony hawk its just spamming, ig they already have a thought on this within the skate. team since we get leaderboards. Maybe it would be a fair thing to split the leaderboard into Street and tricklining, if you make a certain amt of tricks within xx seconds youre getting set as trickliner since nobody in street actualy reches that limit - would also make it like "you cant reach that limit? dont call urself trickliner then"

[merry badger]

Cuphead/sonic/tmnt/mario/metroid still the only side scrollers that’s interested me

[fiery ivy]

Could just do what forza does and put a leaderboard on each challenge

[molten mural]

nah it will take over, some amazing character design with great voice acting, insane art direction and style, the gameplay is so fun and feels so satisfying when you finally figure the game out, of course its never gonna be fortnite but for a moba its gonna do great, and i mean its a valve game i mean the only other game that will top it is half life 3

[ebon summit]

competitive play is too toxic for ea

[merry badger]

Trying to take screenshots of my cool spot and in the background the og locals billboard says “gameovaries” 😅

[fiery ivy]

They said they’re adding leaderboards in the roadmap

[faint sand]

I think they had 3 games to realize what people were doing, why it is optimal, and why it's not fun to watch / why it's controversial.

If they approach it in a smart enough way they can absolutely balance it so that there is at least a chance of players not finding a dumb solution to maximize score that's boring.

[opaque crest]

i hope theyre AREA referred

[twin marten]

to be deadahh serious: i just hope we won't get many trickliners...out of so many reasons 😄

[fiery ivy]

I’m thinking it’ll just be per challenge, and maybe an overall rip score but that’s just my idea

[bitter cobalt]

you gotta get like perfect timing on that speed glitch ?

[opaque crest]

yeah that and like area based ones where it always shows activ tricklines of players in that area now

[fiery ivy]

Factsss like districts?

[opaque crest]

i hope, block-wise

[faint sand]

My simplest fix would be to separate tricks into categories and give strong enough diminishing returns for doing tricks in the same category repeatedly within both a sequence and a line, that players who spread their tricks out to as many different categories as possible are the ones that get the highest score

[fiery ivy]

Or spots even, like your friend has X-amount of points at this spot/skatepark

[twin marten]

maybe like the reason is "tricks getting boring" so like at the 5th manual in a row u just get a nerf somehow ( maybe xx% chance to just fall)

[brisk jetty]

Top scoring active line in each district is named king of the district, earns rip chips every x minutes they hold the crown

[faint sand]

I mean it would be something like that. You don't get to be stale with your tricks just because you're doing a different one of the like 30 flip tricks between every manual. There would have to be some kind of mechanic that considers this stale and starts lowering your score gain after enough of them

[twin marten]

true true, probably the best way to somehow balance it

[opaque crest]

district is to big, i want to know whos the best in my skatepark or block, ore tower smth at the moment. u can do that district thing parallel

[merry badger]

Oooo see y’all later it’s foo ball timeeeeee

[rigid walrus]

like i said, it's going to do well. but it's a moba. most players don't want to invest ~50 hours before things click, same as cs. (200+ hours if we're talking several characters/builds, more if you've never played a moba) the ones that do however, get hooked. and like i also said, artifact was a valve game. it's not like they can do no wrong

[twin marten]

i couln't need a leaderboard less but its cool for those who likes it🔥

[vagrant fulcrum]

yea, i like seeing my own stats too.

[twin marten]

i love to watch skaters that just make realistic lines, i don't care abt scores 😄 but i totally get why someone would love to see their own stats ja massive slow spinned nollie heel downa stair is ALWAYS superior to any trickline kinda trick

[solid hamlet]

I do like the realistic lines the best. Partly why I never could get behind the Skate 3 trick liners

[late lark]

turns out im not in the black box.. Im alot further away.. Currently using my brothers account to fly a throwdown marker to find me and im dragging one in the void looking for land.

[umbral sierra]

damn "spring floral" in the shop goes hard af for 150

[twin marten]

i just really don't like thps and trickliner make skate look like thps, thats why i'm not into it 😄

[muted ether]

tony hawk series has stuff like score penalties for 2+ manuals in a row, double grinding the same rail, dead stop after the 5th revert etc

people should do this in thps and not skate and imma keep hating 😭✌️

[solid hamlet]

I will say though that those "playing skate but only doing tricks I can do irl" make me laugh

[faint sand]

to be honest part of the reason tricklining is so unrealistic even on hardcore in skate 3 is due to some mechanics involving speed and pop height that didn't necessarily need to be the way they were.

I don't see it changing in Skate. though because hardcore difficulty is just not a thing.

[vagrant fulcrum]

i also liked the skate.profile where you could see things like total grind distance, biggest stair gap, longest grind, longest manual. even distance walked offboard was a stat you could see lol.

[lime coral]

Where you trying to build drop objects out to the isle?

[proud sierra]

[icy pilot]

🥹 red

[narrow briar]

Guys I was wondering can you do a kind of muska flip? For example in skater xl u can do a hard flip and a frontside 180 and it ends up being a frontside flip but it looks like a muska flip?

[faint sand]

if hardcore difficulty comes back it needs to work in such a way that need a straight up jump to do certain flip tricks otherwise you won't have enough height to pull them off. Don't let you string every trick together just because you have some speed. Right now there are practically no limitations on that even with all the assists turned off and it cramps the skill floor more than a proper hardcore setting would

[dull pilot]

we're talking about leaderboards and stats like that and how/what to display.

[vagrant fulcrum]

love that. super fun editions lol.
iirc there was even total groin hits in skate 3. 😂

[surreal talon]

If any community dev hops on please ask them to dm me I have a a quiery

[late lark]

I'll send you a pic now

[ashen tide]

Has anyone been getting glitched challenges? I started one last night with a party of 4 people and it ended up with 15 players in the challenge

[solid hamlet]

I know it is made to be more "realistic", but I like the setting choice in Session where you can change things like flip/ spin speeds. Don't know how it would translate though.

[faint sand]

yeah but I've only seen as many as 5 in my experience

[opaque crest]

i hope we get Boardwaer and have to buy new boards, tapes trucks after time. for real money of course and skating gets always harder the more tearn down your board is

[weak grove]

Can anyone tell me if underflips are in the new skate? It was a cool little variation that I liked adding into my lines occassionally back in Skate 3.

[ashen tide]

We had 15 players in a challenge last night and it then crashed the lobby when 14/15 players had collected the bearings

[faint sand]

tbh there needs to be a hardcore mode that is so limiting and realistic that you can't even use it in challenges because it would make a lot of them impossible. If they want to have something for every fan of the series they need this. I can't imagine this coming anytime soon but it would be really good to have this eventually. People love hitting those seemingly mundane lines in hardcore in Skate 3 where you need encyclopedic knowledge of the physics properties of every individual trick

[muted ether]

they arent in the game (yet)

they looked like crap in 3 tho

[opaque crest]

oh and Boards shoul break aswell, so u have to buy new boards

[signal pebble]

same thing happened the other day with 27 peeps in a challenge

[lunar steeple]

been having this issue for months, anyone elses game just not load? Just loads a white screen instead? Have to restart a few times for it to work

[ashen tide]

Not gonna lie it feels way better with more than 4 people in a challenge

[muted ether]

at the very least we need truck tightness/wheel hardness

and maybe an update for different board shapes/sizes..

[faint sand]

I suck at skate 3 and even I had some fun going to aletown and trying to figure out a really simple gap between rails on hardcore. Having it immensely matter what kind of grind or flip trick you do is a lot of fun even if you're not good

[weak grove]

This. That's definitely what lots of people say is missing when it comes to comparing it with other skate sim games.

[molten bluff]

Will the old maps be in the new skate like mega park

[muted ether]

it would be awesome if wider boards were slower to flip by default, the margin for error on flatground was higher etc but i feel like thats asking for too much 💀

[modern radish]

Chat, can I get a good job for doing a 1980

[twin marten]

good job

[solid hamlet]

Your maternal parent is proud of you.

[muted ether]

do a 2160

[winged blade]

Good Morning reset time fri ends

[umbral sierra]

no word on that, but the mega park from this game will be added later (tutorial island)

[faint sand]

Naw, the game should be the way it is for the casual player. It's the right way for the audience they're going for. But players who want to solve the puzzle of how to do a mundane realistic line with more realistic physics should be an option because of how much room for depth there is.

[modern radish]

Erm actually! She says female parent! 🤓

[mystic falcon]

im gonna flip if i see "wating for skater" one more time

[faint sand]

Basically the game already has a significantly large world with a lot of variety and there are little mundane areas of it that at the moment aren't that special, but would suddenly be massively interesting with the limitations of a hardcore difficulty. That's why I think it is definitely something they should add

[muted ether]

this game is slowly turning me back into the grimy little skate rat gatekeeper i used to be i swear

im still havin fun doin my own thing tho

[modern radish]

I feel so shaky bruh

[hollow delta]

Yo im softlocked my skater is stuck with phone out

wait a bit before skipping Vee's dialog and you won't see that anymore. Also in case you didn't know, waiting for skater will go away after like a minute so you don't need to restart

[warm nest]

I want an alien outfit like how rockstar did it, green vs purple alien era was peak

[faint sand]

I'm gonna be a bit honest that's probably going to be really low priority. It seems simple but every feature they add creates a new combination matrix of interactions that might create a new glitch or worse, stop some specific interaction from working properly and frustrate players. If they're eventually going to make competitive play a thing they probably don't want to add too many features like this, at least in early access

[twin marten]

ain't no plaque in a city clean like that 😂 u can eat off the floor, but u have to bring ur own food cuz u find nothing there

[umbral sierra]

[muted ether]

i have a set of bones swiss i'm using rn that a zumiez employee friend uh. gifted to me. lol

[vocal thunder]

That’s too funny I have the opposite issue

[loud carbon]

Where the vibe update? 😫🙏

[wheat prawn]

ty ill try and tighten it up

[tough fiber]

only playtesters can

[vocal thunder]

Honestly the fact there’s no Mac miller on the playlist is a CRIME

[naive heart]

Even with the weekly and daily rewards in minds doing every challenge in the map still gets you barely any rip chips 😦

[neat moat]

They need to make expert challenges

[lime coral]

Dual monitors hah

[fallen grove]

@dull pilot when will we be able to play cloud gaming?

[mystic falcon]

[mystic falcon]

[pastel wren]

i didnt notice how low the rip chips per challenge were until i completed all of the missions/tours

Will the founders bundle be removed from the store once season 1 comes out?

[cursive otter]

The whole playlist is embarrassing

[lime coral]

The other half is now easier through Daily Tasks + Weekly ones

[ancient hedge]

facts. the lack of hip hop AND punk is disturbing. nobody wanna hear king krule im sorry

[still crystal]

its okay to say you dont like music

[pastel wren]

🗣️ FIDLAR and Teen Mortgage on repeat all day

[still crystal]

there are at least four different genres of hip hop and punk in the game's music

[merry badger]

Bro mf doom and Erik the architect made the soundtrack, it ain’t that bad

[cursive otter]

What a snooze fest 🥱

[foggy lintel]

Not enjoying the soundtrack is 100% a skill issue.

[still crystal]

do ya'll just

only go off of the game's playlists and not gather music from around the city?

[pastel wren]

no i went through all of the playlists and liked the songs that i liked and use the liked songs as my playlist

[merry badger]

Too expensive for their small Indie company budget, why you think see no Tyler? Tyler is an avid skate fan and wanted to work on this game but rockstar got to him 1st

[foggy lintel]

If you haven't collected songs you don't even know the full playlist.

[ancient hedge]

yeah lemme throw one song on repeat

[cursive otter]

Honestly speaking, not trying to troll. If the songs suck, what enthusiasm would the game give me to “find” better songs 💀

[lime coral]

I feel like people don't scroll down far enough to see the others either

[still crystal]

there's more music to be gathered in the city than there is on all the playlists they gave

do you just... not... listen to the music around the city?

[fluid zodiac]

anyone know why when i play with friends they're invisable

[amber island]

Where do I go to ask questions about the game?

[ancient hedge]

bro i turned the music volume off in the first three days 💀 think im gonna skate around collecting mid all day

[stiff sequoia]

Here or the forums

[small ibex]

I thought the soundtrack was fine, not previous skate game caliber but subpar and acceptable for the project and direction the game is going in for a more “general” audience rather then skaters

[foggy lintel]

It's easier to complain than hold down left stick.

[lament quiver]

8 more days until i get my paws on skate

[cursive otter]

Why would I if it’s the same lame ass songs on repeat. So no. Musics low enough for me to hear bits it’s the same bs over and over again and it all generally sucks imo

[merry badger]

True haha, there’s some good punk/alt artist too but they chose some way lesser known songs which is a … choice

[still crystal]

once again its okay to say y'all dont like music

call it the same bs i have over 80 songs on my favorites which is MORE THAN TWICE the amounf of songs in any skate game

[lime coral]

I agree it needs more Punk 🥲

[ancient hedge]

nobody wants to skate to some soft hipster bs, its not that deep mr music theory

[amber island]

Thanks man I appreciate it

[stiff sequoia]

Spotify

[merry badger]

It’s a skateboarding game with no misfits, feels illegal

[cursive otter]

Stay coping, and continue making excuses for lazy development. I hope they put you in the game and pay you for your royalties

[twin marten]

i wanna hit massive drops while hearing badahh breakdowns

[solid bobcat]

i don’t complain. i listen to my own playlists on apple and yt🙂‍↕️

[small ibex]

Well the games not even rlly targeting skate culture, it’s closer to Fortnite then any of the previous skate games tbh atleast w the target audience

[foggy lintel]

Oh yeah, there's no school today. Was wondering why you guys were on during the day time.

[stiff sequoia]

Another one of you guys. God please let this end.

[grim isle]

Anyone able to help? How do you backside no comply?

[fierce trail]

Anyone know what the highest line is so far? I got 165k yesterday

[vale anchor]

I remember in my day we were happy if a game had 10 songs included

And we liked it

[twin marten]

same, but i would'nt if there were more rock stuff 😄

[still crystal]

lmfao i dont know a lick of music theory and hate corporate, i have my own complaints about the game

the music and the mechanics are the things that matter to me and they both hit the mark as far as im concerned

yes i have a problem with online only, no i don't think its going to stay that way

if you think the music sucks its a skissue

good day nerds i'm gonna go back to work

[merry badger]

Me and my homies just start a Spotify listening sesh and pick 5-10 songs each and put it on random

[amber island]

How we come from songs to “this game is like Fortnite”😭

[faint sand]

it's just the visuals

[stiff sequoia]

Imagine hating an entire game and studio because the music is not your taste

[vale anchor]

Ok but we also could burn CDs to our hard drives and play our own music inside the game with custom playlists mixing in-game songs and our favorite MP3s as if it was part of the official soundtrack so... Yeah lol

[still crystal]

i genuinely feel bad for em

[lime coral]

"Ah the good ol days" -old man b1

[small ibex]

Target audience is like Fortnite Lol my bad not the game itself. More focused on kids doing weird flips rather then realistic street lines

[worn wharf]

where can i find a party im stuck on the coop challenge thing

[stiff sequoia]

The game would still be fun even if all the music files were just Joe Rogan fartin

[faint sand]

people keep saying that but skate 3 and to a lesser extent 2 were both like this

[foggy lintel]

How I sleep knowing this game was made for me and people are going to mald about it: 🙂‍↔️

[fossil ibex]

are there any differences between the early acces now and the one comming on 16 september?

[cursive otter]

Care to explain or give context on care to explain or give context to the “one of you guys” comment?

[lime coral]

This could be because a massive audience of Skate 3 wanted that, and was a big part of its resurgence.

[pastel wren]

there's a really solid blend of punk already with FIDLAR, Teen Mortgage, CIVIC, Amyl and the Sniffers, Upchuck (im definitely missing a few more) just gotta expand your taste in music

[still crystal]

sasuke pfp/console brokie

[vagrant slate]

Are we unable to see our party in CO op challenges now?

[vale anchor]

I actually like a bit of the newer music in this game. It has a chill relaxing vibe.
Baggypants is nicer than I thought it was going to be

[ancient hedge]

the music isnt skate. has nothing to do with tatse. i encourage yall to go to a skatepark and listen

[faint sand]

visually and with the emotes the game takes after fortnite but it's missing the tonal wackiness from that game... but that wackiness is not replaced with anything and it feels kind of bland. Skate 3's specific brand of wackiness would have been perfect to carry over here

[small ibex]

This is true, I think a big thing is js more of the art style and direction and lack of a story mode. Ik YouTube rlly brought skate into the mainstream but I feel like it’s lost its soul in a way

[cursive otter]

Yawwwwwwwnnnn, another person on pc thinks they’re better. Console wars are over. No one cares that you have a pc 🤣

[merry badger]

I won’t respect your opinion if you can’t kickflip IRL 🤷 way of the road xD

[still crystal]

did you listen to the music played at dime glory orrrrrrrr

[left latch]

They play House Music and Techno at the Skateparks here in Chicago😭

[vale anchor]

Ok but how many tires before landing will you accept and still count it because I'm a bit rusty rn

[pastel wren]

tbf House music IS a Chicago staple

[merry badger]

If you can spin it you can land it and that’s good enough 🙂

[foggy lintel]

People confused the music they play while they skate isn't the exact same music other people play when they skate.

[still crystal]

brokie behavior

[faint sand]

oh yeah skate 3 is like the kind of wackiness that was kind of nostalgic. It is a very early 2000s late 90s sort of humor especially the intro. I strongly associate skateboarding with that time because that's when it was the most popular so that's the tone I tend to feel is most appropriate... I don't know anything about modern skating though.

[cursive otter]

Go back to work like you said. Gotta keep upgrading that lovely pc of yours 😉

[merry badger]

I play console when I’m trying to kick back and chill and pc to game competitively

[ancient hedge]

i could do that tho i just dont wanna listen to soft alt septum piercing music, thank God for spotify

[lost pagoda]

Controllers is boring to play, i play only controller on pc with skate.

[pastel wren]

if you dont like the music you can always just mute it and open spotify/apple music in the background no one's stopping you

[vale anchor]

Did you send me a friend request the other day? Cause I remember we were joking around and you said we should meet up in game and not long after that I received an friend rq. Not sure if coincidence or not

[still crystal]

i work from home, nothing's happening

stay broke king

[small ibex]

Yea and that game had a wackiness to it that wasn’t strictly intentional like HOM totally intentional wackiness but a lot of it stemmed from finding jank or interactions with characters like coach frank or real professional skaters, there was intention with everything

[faint sand]

we need a way to "dislike" music so it doesn't play

[river pulsar]

Hi, can anyone help me? I'm stuck under the map after login, i see just my skateboard, black swuare under it and city in far

[twin marten]

off to #1062053586537820210 you go sir

[vale anchor]

So it was you. Cool!

[muted ether]

skate 3 soundtrack was doodoo too

[still crystal]

most valid take so far tbh

the music IS great but there are definitely a few songs i dont want if i'm rocking one of the standard playlists

[lime coral]

Dm me, I gotchu, @river helm You too

[fallow plinth]

send a postcard

[river helm]

me too

[tight hollow]

Numbers 1 who played skate 3 for the story a lot people just wanted to skate and stuff

[river pulsar]

what postcard?

[vale anchor]

I trust you to lie therefore it must be truth

[muted ether]

misfits odb and del/heiroglyphics are the exceptions of course @ancient hedge sorry u had to take that timeout gang i know what u meant 😭 my fault

[cursive otter]

What’s with the game giving that ERR message and not being able to play with friends? I’ve had to restart the game last night like 6 times before doing 1 challenge and it kicking my friend out the party

[small ibex]

Yea honestly still a ton of fun don’t get me wrong, it’s just more of their used to be a good balance with respect for skaters that wanted that realistic approach vs the wackiness that can occur on different difficulties and now there’s no option at all

[marsh plover]

Yo chat

[twin marten]

bug

[vale anchor]

It makes sense to me with my knowledge of you

[faint sand]

oh yeah another thing the game needs badly is some way to hint at the game what kind of thing you're trying to hit. I have no idea how you'd implement this but atm a lot of the challenges are a giant pain because you have a grind you're trying to hit and it thinks you want to hit the quarterpipe the grind is attached to, stuff like that

[ancient hedge]

getting timed out for saying ODBs full government is kinda cool tho

[muted ether]

oh nvm i thought you got sent to the shadow realm we good

[marsh plover]

How can I get early access to skate???

[small ibex]

I miss dark catching so much chat

[tight hollow]

I’m still going to play the new skate because it like the jank from skate 3 you could do

[cursive otter]

Imagine when they release the game and everyone starts having these issues. Games gonna crash and burn within the year. I’d hate for it to happen but man, I have a bad feeling about it

[vale anchor]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-spongebob-skateboard-sandy-slide-gif-16143692

well then ur feeling wrong because we get a day 1 patch lol

[muted ether]

tricklining is so 2010

[vale anchor]

Bippity boppity, trickline stoppity!
🪨

[tight hollow]

Skate is going to chang a lot when they keep updating and like that

[cursive otter]

Welp, I hope it gets fixed. I don’t want the game to get shut down but realistically…with the cosmetics they got. Doesn’t seem like it’ll make them enough money to keep the game alive. Especially how publishers are canning whole game companies over their bag games

[twin marten]

"Err" Notification
Workaround: None.
Fix: Fixed in Update 0.27.7.
(releases on 16th)

[ancient hedge]

thats why i try to save my bucks for the brand stuff. maybe they will pay attention to whats selling and add more 🤞

[stiff sequoia]

Telling people that they're glazing when they like something and harshly critiquing a game in early pre alpha like it's a full build while ignoring that video game development is a complicated process and not all games are made the same way. Constructive criticism and suggestions are the 2 things needed right now because we want to make this game great since we're all fans of the franchise. You don't like something? Cool, make sure to post on the forums ways they can improve said thing

[twin marten]

#game-announcements theres the patchlist

[vale anchor]

Times some occasion yes

[lost swan]

yo chat

[drifting grotto]

Why is it not letting me complete the “Sound Check” challenge 😭 it’s my last challenge in hedgemont

[umbral sierra]

bugged for everyone

[topaz adder]

do we keep all our progress when the full game releases

[vale anchor]

Same. I was told that disabling crossplay might help but I haven't gotten to try that yet

[drifting grotto]

Dangit, it’s the last mission I need to hit level 10. Making me lose my mind

[still crystal]

dude you're such a doomer and i get it but like this game has a lot of promise

looking only at the negatives is a really good way to get into that feedback loop but the problem is it spreads

if you want the game to succeed then act like it

[ancient hedge]

the good news is they nailed the skating boys. seriously feels like the best its ever been, everything else can be worked on

[still crystal]

facts

[twin marten]

some will argue abt the game all day long and wonder why they were never happy with it🤷‍♂️ just give it time, good things take time

[still crystal]

i get looked at so weird for just having fun with the video game i've been looking forward to for fifteen years and the only thing i hear from people is "fortnite graphics game bad"

like ?????? do y'all not play the game???

[vagrant fulcrum]

by the way, on the 16th this game will be in version 0.27.7. we have a long ways to go lol.

[cursive otter]

I agree. Hands down the best skating. Excited to see how they implement the Impossible

[forest abyss]

99% of people hating the game haven't played it

[muted ether]

the humble and ever so reliable back smith front shuv out:

[still crystal]

has to be, seriously

this game is so fun and even with the city in its current state i've logged about 50 hours with plans on a lot more

apparently if you like the game you're an AI corpo shill tho

[twin marten]

"there is no culture"

meanwhile 150 skaters building DIY sport, hitting sick lines, making clips and all that lmao, we are the culture what do they mean 😂

[ancient hedge]

the fortnite stuff is really played out. nobody is allowed to have a clean art style anymore?? its just a weak argument. also we could only hope this game would ever be as big as fort lol

[empty pier]

Game's got issues but I think there's a lot of good. Best feeling skate game but the MTX/"story" (more of a tutorial, really) is pretty rough imo.

[still crystal]

it and all the other negativity is bleeding out into the general public is the problem

meanwhile this game is stupidly fun

[faint sand]

Are we allowed to link to the feedback message board or no

[drifting grotto]

Level 10 in hedgemont finally 🙏🙏🙏

[weak grove]

I mean realistically a carbon copy of skate 3 today wouldn't survive in todays market anyways. I'm, glad they at least tried to innovate while improving the gameplay and having community feedback be an important thing moving forward.

[lime coral]

Skate culture is very dependent on where you live, and what timeline you live in. 🤷‍♂️

[muted ether]

guarantee you a majority of the people that complain about the culture thing haven't touched a board in years

i'm also a complainer about culture but the grind articles have given me reason to believe its coming and gameplay is already good so i'm chillin

[stiff sequoia]

Literally only the character models look cartoony

[forest abyss]

when I had some homies over to play it for the first time everyone's first impression was that it was super fun and overhated. The switch up is gonna be crazy

[gritty plover]

I think people are just unhappy and need to try and find other things to be unhappy about to distract from their own unhappy lives

[twin marten]

bro some of them never even stepped a foot in a real skatepark and it really shows by all the hate

[faint sand]

It's not just the cleanness there are very specific design elements to the way the hair is rendered and the normal mapping on character faces that is lifted directly from fortnite's artstyle

[muted ether]

never set foot in these streets let alone a skatepark 😭

[ancient hedge]

saw a yt video already pooping on the game came out like 4 weeks ago. they really are trying to kill it before it gets here bc its not "edgy enough" like the original skate fans arent grown ups now 💀

[still crystal]

unpopular opinion but there is a good volume of people that could actually do with some real problems

[stiff sequoia]

Yeah I can already see people getting over the hate and actually being curious to try it in yt comments and stuff.

[forest abyss]

if anything being a real skater gives you more of a reason to hate this game ngl

[warped siren]

def need somesort of priestige system

[twin marten]

some skaters also expect a sim wich skate. never meant to be

[weak grove]

It would be a completely different situation if the skating was janky and felt like ass, but it doesn't. It's actually some of the best skating the series has ever seen and honestly some of the bestskate animations to date in a video game. People just hate to hate.

[gritty plover]

I haven't been edgy in 15 years!

[little prairie]

Agree.

A lot of this game feels like a slap in the face as a skater. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun though.

[muted ether]

nah. i played the skate games as a time killer for when i cant skate irl to get hyped for the next sesh in between watching skate vids and that's what we have now so

thats not to say that i dont have my gripes about this game because i do

[ancient hedge]

fr bro i feel old seeing those types of comments bc im like damn, were still trying to be edgy? i got work tomorrow dawg.

[modern radish]

this game has been fun to play and thats all that matters <3

[twin marten]

its still not a sim 🤷‍♂️

[forest abyss]

you get it. skateboarding is supposed to be anti industry and rebellious and all that and this game genuinely embodies the opposite of that. But yeah its all about fun and the game is fun

[gritty plover]

This game needs to be GRITTIER - 34 year old man in jeans that are way too tight

[little prairie]

Never said it was. I have no hate towards the mechanics or gameplay of skating. It’s all the other stuff.

[weak grove]

THPS wasn't a sim and people ate that game up and still do. If you're a true skate video game enjoyer, you're just here for good animations smooth gameplay and fun imo.

[faint sand]

tbh it has anti industry and rebellious aspects in the story but they're way too subdued... maybe a problem with the story not being finished

[muted ether]

skateboarding is an industry

a dying one, but its an industry

[ancient hedge]

its an olympic sport now bro you missed that wave by like a decade at least

[forest abyss]

Nah trust me I get that, skateboarding has been mainstream since before I started I'm just saying the sanitized feel of it is kinda lame

[faint sand]

When I think skate culture I usually think about the culture from when skating was super popular. It's mainstream now but it's not as popular as it was in the 90s / early 2000s

[muted ether]

i dont disagree but we've been heading in that direction for so long i'm just happy to have something. i can be as punk as i want irl

[ancient hedge]

fairs, i guess thats what happens. live long enough to see urself become the villan or whatever

[vale anchor]

Skateboarding just isn't what it used to be
https://youtu.be/ZEmgHuM-2y0?si=Jcd7ynk4DhkmHJMS

[twin marten]

1976 😭

[lime coral]

Gleaming the cube 🥲 (80's skateboarding* was wild too hah)

[forest abyss]

yeah don't get me wrong yall I'm having a blast with the game but it's clearly meant to be all family and sponsor friendly which can be cringe

[still crystal]

skateboarding as a whole is in a weird spot where it's simultaneously too cheap, too expensive, needs money to survive, and actively turns those opportunities away

there's nothing worse than having your hobby exposed to the general public, but on the bright side underground skate companies aren't exactly dead and games like this aren't what's killing them

[teal plank]

cruel world

[forest abyss]

lately I've been wanting to learn freestyle this is actually so dope

[faint sand]

I just checked and yeah pumping in my game is actually working pretty well. Not as insane as skate 3 but it's making vert lest frustrating when I do it right

[ancient hedge]

the whole world is pretty sanatized now, and even EA arent who they used to be. its all hills and valleys dude, well be back on the come up eventually

[twin marten]

i could see skate. for some as the reason to actually start skating

[muted ether]

Decks cost 70 or higher now, skateboarding needs all the exposure it can get at this point cuz we're cooked

[weak grove]

It's just what happens when you have to try and cater to so many target audiences at once, there's going to be things that one audience likes and things another audience won't. Unfortunately it just is what it is.

[forest abyss]

THUG2 was a big inspiration for me so I can see it

[vale anchor]

I love everything about it. It's crazy to see its evolution. Its history is so short in comparison to other sports. Amazing how it took over and grew

[modern radish]

Yall know any good way to get a smooth server bc for some reason, i only get smooth servers at school lol

[little prairie]

The other side of skate culture is definitely still around too and it isn’t well represented in this game.

Go talk to the guys and girls at your local skate shop, go to some local comps, hit up some DIY spots around town. That’s the stuff not well represented in this game right now, and as a skater who is involved in their local community I don’t feel like the game is made to appeal to me or the people I skate with.

[muted ether]

genuinely if i didn't work for Vans i just would never be able to afford a new deck ever @forest abyss it sucks

[twin marten]

in the end, skate. will be what u make out of it, so i see it as a good thing for the community overall

[left latch]

I can’t wait to see the Skate Culture intro again I hope it’s permanent every time the game opens

[forest abyss]

is it just me or have boards been $70 for 5 years now though? also the vans discount is dope my homie used to work there got me lots of discounted shoes

[lime coral]

It needs tweaked a bit more but I like it a lot better than just being a hotspot. Takes learning, and more time to master.

[still crystal]

yeah people dont understand how much the tony hawk games/skate 1/2/3 inspired people to go skate

people also do not understand that thps is like 99% of tony hawk's paycheck

[weak grove]

My board was $130 💀

[twin marten]

veryvery true

[teal plank]

w

[forest abyss]

now freestyle is too far gone and it's kind of a shame, my goal is to be able to hit some hard grinds and flip tricks and a freestyle routine in the same session

[ancient hedge]

fortnite concert but instead you sesh w jamie foy, absolute cinema

[modern radish]

before i make my next joke, am i also able to post youtube links here

[muted ether]

it used to be just like FA/Hockey but other brands followed suit over the last few years and its painful

yea Vans discount is dope, 50 percent off shoes and 30 percent off skate product and if you get employee of the month its 70 percent off shoes and 50 percent off skate stuff

[still crystal]

the vf corp discount is insane

i got timbs and north face half off at outlets when i worked for vans 💀

[empty pier]

DIY aspect is still there. Lots of my favorite spots in the current map became that after I placed a few things down.

I'm hoping once they actually get a story going we get some of that grit back though. I miss dodging security guards and stuff.

[vale anchor]

THPS, Skate, Rocket Power, Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure. Skating has been huge for so long. It's rare to talk to someone that didn't try skating or didn't touch a skateboard at one point in their life

did yall check out the PSL stuff on YT? pretty sick

[lime coral]

They have amazing gratitude, respect, and help build each other up. The support they get in general seems to be really positive too. Brazil also has some amazing talent and much the same gratitude around skateboarding.

mike mo and some other dudes started a skate league thing

[ancient hedge]

oh word, this was just like skate league. just liked the concept in generall and i liked that they had some young and old guys mixed in. hope they make more of it

[brittle steppe]

What’s everyone’s favorite skatepark in the game? (Bonski, church, rolling waves, dime) hopefully they add a b-wich park too; Me personally, rolling waves

[scenic mirage]

Anyone on skate 3 rn

[forest abyss]

I remember it now, was super lame to metbh

[faint sand]

I think I've fount the core of what is wrong with vert and it's that you lose more speed going uphill than you gain going downhill, and that simple thing makes vert entirely not work

[muted ether]

mike mo is a bit of a sellout, those guys like mikey taylor etc gimme the creeps lowkey

[lime coral]

Rolling waves for me atm, but trying to learn better lines in Bonski's (which has a lot of potential I just suk at seeing how to Park in general). Church is more Street skating but its good too.

[forest abyss]

they tried to box skateboarding into an espn kinda sport and it really isn't exciting or inspiring to watch in the slightest, dime glory challenge better

[ancient hedge]

defintley church or rolling waves

[still crystal]

if mikey taylor gives you the creeps you just have good sense tbh

[broken palm]

Can anyone help me get out of the under map glitch pls?

he's so... unlikeable in a way i cant put my finger on (tbf what finance bro is likeable)

[brittle steppe]

@faint sand u gotta pump on the way down too in this one, and @lime coral nice order lol, Bonski was so much better when u could actually see lol

[patent flume]

Does anyone else get a frame drop around the church?

[faint sand]

I always pump on the way down, it's not enough

[lime coral]

Ya I posted a learning line of me at Bonski's in #skate-videos

[modern radish]

I forget, when do I pump

i was a little mad foy won SOTY but i had to realize that man just drops clip after clip after clip and it made more sense

i could argue "ohhh big boy foy crooks another long rail who cares" but his clips are genuinely buck asf

[forest abyss]

Fully understandable he does inhuman tricks

[karmic basin]

can anyone help me I got the glitch of being stuck in the air but it showing my board under the map?

[brittle steppe]

U not doing it right then lol. What’s ur pump assist at ? I get plenty of speed. Don’t hold trigger down all the way like skate 3 or u lose more speed. Just a light tap and release does wonders. Also turn off anti pump

[faint sand]

if anti pumping is triggering on quarterpipes that's a bug

[astral bluff]

dm me

[ancient hedge]

hes insanely talented but also a real dude. will always glaze tbh

[brittle steppe]

Ok turn on semi auto then

[forest abyss]

yuto cooler tho

[muted ether]

Semi-auto on, 0 assist is my goto rn

[pulsar sonnet]

@forest abyss 👀

[faint sand]

I am investigating and it seems like this issue happens on specific quarterpipes

[forest abyss]

sup brodie I remember you

[lime coral]

You got this one? ❤️‍🔥 ⛑️

[solid hamlet]

I don't wanna spend 350 SV Bucks on it but I will admit the Floral Jacquard Varsity thing in the shop goes kind of hard

[trim horizon]

yo

[uncut mason]

still no fix or recognition of the game detecting a slight L2 button push even trying different controllers and no issues in other games?

[forest abyss]

why'd you stop posting yout clips in gh

[pulsar sonnet]

Soon come sir soon come

[faint sand]

I am at the big blue vert area in market mile and the smaller quarterpipes let me launch crazy high but the larger quarterpipes are sapping all my speed

[twin marten]

kickflips in goofystance

[agile copper]

Is it on vert specifically? Or in general? Cuz it could be “auto-pump” in the settings

[lime coral]

Pump when you come back in, hold it and then release as you hit flat/coping. See if that helps. (don't try to double pump at speed, only if you are not going to reach the coping pump up)

[astral bluff]

kickflips in mickeymoustance

[uncut mason]

just in general, when i stand still and there's no input whatsoever, my dude just curls up into a ball. but if i even move the camera, it doesn't do it

[forest abyss]

regular is lame

[trim horizon]

How do i get early access its been 2 years and i've still gotten nothing :/

[pulsar sonnet]

Stop skating goofy sir

[ancient hedge]

true, but jamie is a southern man and that i can relate to

[agile copper]

Haha, I do that.😀

@uncut mason that’s wak. I have no idea. Could be a windows issue

[pseudo hemlock]

im just to goofy

[forest abyss]

I will not conform

[ancient hedge]

what if you could skate whimsy? would that be a crime?

[faint sand]

I'm wondering if it feels bad because it's hyperrealistic in a way that's difficult to understand. It seems like pumping randomly doesn't work even when the score counter says it's clean. Hell, sometimes it feels like it makes me lose speed

[pulsar sonnet]

Goofy skaters are certified unverified

[forest abyss]

Then why does your profile picture have a regular skater crossed out

[solid hamlet]

You wait until Sept. 16th. Playtest invites are closed.

[lime coral]

I could be wrong, being I suked at Vert IRL, but this game its less of a hotspot and more of a "feel" closer to real pumping. Skate 3 seemed like it was just a mario cart speed boost hot spot (from what I remember anyway). Speed, type of quarter pipe/object, make a difference of when to pump.

[pulsar sonnet]

To show our rebellion

[ancient hedge]

some people learned to skate goofy at first bc they were wrong footed, speaking as a left footer i always felt more comfortable as a kid in goofy

[still crystal]

your pfp is a regular skater? if they're facing toward you which they likely are?

[pulsar sonnet]

They're facing behind you on a wednesday at sun set

[solid hamlet]

I don't skate IRL but I do ride a OneWheel. Sure as heck can't ride that thing goofy

[warped siren]

anyone else get waiting for players for challenges

[trim horizon]

9 more days and i can finally play the skate franchise again after almost 5 years without a console to run it on now 🙏

[harsh comet]

W

[harsh drum]

ya un fr qui peut jouer a skate. ?

[faint sand]

Skate 3 was overkill but to me it feels like I am losing an amount of speed in vert that is not realistic. I have to go horizontally around the pool and build up speed that way to get any sort of height off the big quarterpipes. Otherwise the height is barely enough to to do a grab

[lime coral]

I tagged you in #skate-videos with my triple bowl run

[pulsar sonnet]

Goofy skaters are so ugly to watch bruh

[solid hamlet]

Yes. You can usually just wait 30 seconds or so and it will let you continue by yourself. Skipping the cutscene seems to cause that bug more frequently

[twin marten]

ayooo im cute okey?

[faint sand]

that's with proper pumping yeah? Those bowls are hell for me usually I can't get any height

[forest abyss]

🙁

[ancient hedge]

ill watch u goofy ❤️

Do your quick place items get hidden for others when they start a challenge?

oh my god I'm an idiot, after doing the "U gotta gap" challenge and being infuriated by both the difficulty of doing it as intended and the weird angle they start you at... I finally realized they intend you to grind gap the INNER ledge and not the outer one that's borderline impossible

[muted ether]

HA

[agile copper]

I watched a goofy movie one time, it was good.

gonna be honest i think pc and console cant connect atm -_-

is there anyway i can play with a keyboard and mouse

[bleak estuary]

All my stuff will carry over once the game officially launches to the public yeah?

Sooo what does one do when they boot the game and they are stuck under the map looking at the skateboard ?

yes he is indeed a very cool guy

Maybe it wouldn’t be to you
(Nah I’m playin’, I agree they deserve more, like an in game plaque for real for real)

[forest abyss]

Nah it definitely wouldn’t they need SV bucks or something

[ancient hedge]

at least were not on scooters

[muted ether]

real friends tell their friends not to mongo push

[pulsar sonnet]

I agree as long as goofy stance is taken out of the equation

[brittle hornet]

AHAHHAHA this is truth

[modern radish]

i like pushing mongo bc i think it looks cool

[faint sand]

I am loving how much easier the manuals are in this game, missions like "muy manual" would have taken me hours with skate 3's manual controls

[muted ether]

pushing mongo aside from looking ugly is just the objectively wrong way to push and teaches bad habits

[twin marten]

i followed a mongo pusher 2 mins and spamming the cry emoji

[pulsar sonnet]

Mongo skaters eat Bran Flakes for breakfast

[wide tiger]

mango

[muted ether]

the only exception to pushing mongo is for fakie or switch but other than that, legit just learn to push correctly

[pulsar sonnet]

Mongo should be eradicated

[silk coral]

Do not push mongo

[modern radish]

go push mongo, just have fun skating bruh

[twin marten]

char should just straight up bail when try to mongo push

i know its wrong but pushing Monto irl feels just more right for me 🙁 even though i force myself to regular

Correct. There are no more resets. All progress currently made with carry forward when Public Early Access is released Sept 16th

[astral bluff]

yeah, thats why i force my self to push correctly. walks away while mall grabbing and eating pineapple pizza

[pulsar sonnet]

I think the very specific muscle that flicks on a specific kickflip in my foot is just messed, switch is easier but I wish it wasn't

[muted ether]

u do realize we're talking about pushing mongo in real life right, lets settle down

Thrasher will feature you for sure
