general-discussion

[full narwhal]

yeah its deffo glitched for a lot of people

[nimble charm]

Some people don't wanna place blocks for 10 minutes to find exactly the right spot for the challenge to properly count, & just ean to smash it out & then go back to doing what they'd prefer. That's valid. So we tell people about the work around.

[autumn stirrup]

I dont doubt its glitched, but i think a lot of it has to do with getting frustrated. It narrows your awareness. For 3 days the parties i got in, everyone was having this issue, the commonality between them, they were all trying to do them at a specific spot. Im only saying this, because that is how I figured out how to do it. Then i nailed it with several groups who were stuck on it for the last few days.

[keen light]

Nope

[autumn stirrup]

Dude thats a thin debate. You just said some people would rather smash it out instead of placing blocks for 10 seconds. Meanwhile everyone is complaining that they cant smash through it wasting time talking about how they should do it and refusing to place blocks because of an ego. And ten minutes is an exaggeration, I placed one quarter pipe on the top of two community parks, droppped in, nailed the gap and completed it immediately after thinking it was glitched after doens and dozens of attempts, then i placed one ramp then tested the theory with several groups the last two days, all who completed it. If you have an argument, make sure its not built on scaffolding made out of tooth picks bro. IM telling you right now, you can do it in infinite ways, but the wrong way is always the wrong way..

[nimble charm]

Several groups over multiple days. Rough. Thankfully people can use M-Corp to get it out of the way & go back to doing what they prefer.

Also, my bad. Didn't realise it was an argument.

I was just explaining why we tell people about the work around.

[full narwhal]

are we really arguing over the best way to get around a bugged challenge. 😂

[full narwhal]

🤝 🫶

[autumn stirrup]

Which task/challenger are you talking about now. the 50m, 17m, or 15m tasks. Its not an arguement its a seperate persepctive. No hate, always brain storming.

[nimble charm]

Apparently.

[hollow hazel]

New argument. Pancakes or waffles ?

[full narwhal]

pancakes

always pancakes

[nimble charm]

Waffles. Anyone who says otherwise is beneath me.

[full narwhal]

well, i better get on the floor then

[nimble charm]

I disagree emphatically.

[full narwhal]

😂

[hollow hazel]

Um actually their message is above you

[full narwhal]

😁

[nimble charm]

I know, ironic timing.

[full narwhal]

as long as i get delicious pancakes as my last meal, deal

[nimble charm]

Lmao, stop. Yeah, pancakes I feel like have the flexibility. But I just love the texture of a waffle more.

You can put all kinds of stuff in pancakes. From chocolate chips to hotdogs. But man. Waffle is still peak.

[full narwhal]

ya didn't even vote yourself

[full narwhal]

hot dogs !?

oooh you crazy

[nimble charm]

Yeah dude. You've never seen a corn dog with pancake batter?

[full narwhal]

i might be a little biased as it was pancake day yesterday here 😄

[nimble charm]

Oooooh yeah.

[full narwhal]

-# lilyfnwhite is typing...

Man please be about pancakes.

[nimble charm]

But seriously, I've had one of these before, they were insanely good.

[full narwhal]

😂 @nimble charm peak emoji reaction

[hollow hazel]

I just want the syrup

[nimble charm]

Oh, so clearly waffles then.

Pancakes just suck up the syrup & become spongey wet bread.

[low berry]

real maple or the junk

[nimble charm]

Waffles hold godly little cups of syrup.

[full narwhal]

Next skate board meeting - "so, how's the game doing, is the community ok?"

"they're just debating pancakes and waffles at the moment sir..."

This doesn't mean we want waffle cosmetics

[hollow hazel]

Real, direct from the tree

Leave the tree

[nimble charm]

If it isn't a glass jar with a tiny little anachronistic handle on it, isn't not good enough.

[full narwhal]

||we want pancakes instead clearly||

[nimble charm]

Oh. I never realised this challenge had a timer. Oops. Just ran out of time to hit vents because I was talking about syrup delivery mechanisms.

[low berry]

the tiny handle is what makes it genuine

[neat dock]

can we get skater movement updates soon? would be nice if slow flip tricks made the legs pop higher (knees to face lol) and i wish we crouched down a bit when we pop from manuals.

[raven imp]

goffre

[brisk jetty]

Id love to pre-wind from grinds or manuals

[bleak isle]

🦒 they evolved like dat cause leaves are high, but what did they do before long neck? Skateboard and ramp

[glass grotto]

Pre-winding from manuals would be so neat - maybe landing from a spin to keep spinning in manual? General flatground stuff would be neat but generally I can see why it'd be horribly difficult to add so im not holding my breath

I aint expecting to be able to become Rodney Mullen here lmao.

[nimble charm]

Wish I could tho.

[cold junco]

Did I miss the new grind? Is there seriously no new season 3 update? Lol this is insane

[bleak isle]

Is there a new grind?

[glass grotto]

ok true, i would make some wild videos with a system like that, but that'd require a whole new set of mechanics that I dont think they'd be willing to build from scratch, at least not with everything else they've gotta add/fix

[nimble charm]

Absolutely. Whole new system. But man. Would be sick.

[bleak isle]

@glass grotto I mean yea you can still spin and also steez with power slides while manualling, and revert with a manual aswell all at once already,

[cold junco]

Guess no new grind…

[bleak isle]

I would have your task manager open while you're in the game and see if you're using alot of GPU or Memory, alot of the recent updates on windows eat alot of gpu and memory, there's ways to mitigate it but I'd recommend youtube

[brisk vapor]

weird thing is this is only happening when exploring the map, in challenges there is no problem

[bleak isle]

I'm thinking it's having issues loading in the map while you travel long distances, all laptops and pcs are relative so I can't say a sure fire opinion unless I know like the specs and stuff, maybe some basic troubleshooting steps

[brisk vapor]

I have r5 3600x + RTx 2070 super i know its old setup but anyways

[agile copper]

Truth! And I do that kinda stuff often on ledges and props, it's fun.

[bleak isle]

Sometimes I want 12 doors, maybe some uhhh bean bag chair, waterbed! Bro I need to get a waterbed that'll be so cool..

[hollow hazel]

They’re overrated imo

Novelty wears off fast

[solid hamlet]

thank you Dyno bot

[agile copper]

Yesssirrrrrr

[agile copper]

Dude I hear people all the time wish they still had their water bed

[bleak isle]

Imagine like a waterbed aquarium, obviously like make sure it's 100% safe for the sea creatures, get a pistol shrimp to just punch through the bed at 3am, it would be cool nonetheless

[agile copper]

Like so so often

[agile copper]

What a nice massage that’d be

[hollow hazel]

[fallen haven]

I had a bad headache all day yesterday from a weird pain in my neck

It was not gangsta at all

[bleak isle]

That and, w11 has alot of bloat which most of it is chopped up to Spyware so it's good to get rid of anyways, how many startup apps you have, what unnecessary applications are running in the background, alot of stuff

[glass grotto]

I kinda enjoy seeing some of their weird non-skate shoes. Like the boots. Love the boots. Hell, give me flip flops or sandals. Really get goofy with it. Kicking it in those just for sheer WTF factor.

[brisk vapor]

discord taking so much cpu usage omg

[bleak isle]

Bring in some boat shoes, old skate shoes, im talking globe, DC's, osiris D3's would go crazy

[brisk vapor]

man i just pray they put the game in cloud gaming like GFN

[solid hamlet]

don't they call flip-flops "thongs" in upside down land?

-# or is flip flops just one those Bald Eagle Football land things

[glass grotto]

[solid hamlet]

From the Create a Shirt contest? No.

[muted lagoon]

Damn. When are we going to get them? 😭

[iron mica]

i will be entering the mainframe probably for just a little bit

[solid hamlet]

winners were chosen and were being contacted about their IRL shirts. I expect we'd get the game versions after. Any updates will be posted in #skate-tshirt-contest

[fallen haven]

True

[iron mica]

i would say that assessment is agreeable

[dull pilot]

no, the art team is working on the designs for in-game. once they've finalized that, I'll be ordering the IRL versions for the winners, then we'll announce when the shirts will be available for everyone in-game.

[solid hamlet]

I was close enough lol

[muted lagoon]

Ohhh, cool. Thx for the answer

[full narwhal]

Is that a K-On! Pfp? 🫶

It’s some anime I recognise anyway 😁

Yep. I don't see the anime, but it's a match pfp with a friend that see it hehe

[hollow hazel]

Add a speed limiter

[fringe hearth]

Hope we have helmets that dont make us bald soon 🙏

(Assuming its not already been added, ive kinda taken a break from the game so im not sure lol)

We need to make drops ins even more finicky

speaking of the game, i've continued to find enjoyment in just randomly running into people's object drops and skating them.

I need a loop object drop

[tame breach]

the problem isnt who is chatting btw its why .. its an issue that's eroding the core of the community here at a time when so many come for answers but nobody is here to help or show ppl there is still something worth playing etc.. anyone can do that, it doesnt take regulars, but there's a lot of new faces who come here to vent or complain.. so you see, its not about who is chatting its about why they are not

[tame breach]

i would love to have larger more complete objects like that.. why build a loop when we can drop one? or why waste our entire QDO limit just to place a funbox when we can drop one?

I have high hopes for S3's soundtrack additions, both old and new, especially new

I really hope they add Fontaines D.C. in S3
They added an IDLES song this season, so adding Fontaines D.C. is more probable now

[tame breach]

i'm gonna just let things be for the moment on the chat comments, said my piece out in the wild for now...

but i do have a question.. you seem pretty laser focussed on the soundtrack, why is that so important when you can just turn it off and put your own playlist on in the background?

[prisma hearth]

Tidal, the music app I'm currently subscribed to (and will stay in) doesn't have that opportunity
I left Spotify because of ethical reasons

[tame breach]

i got my music volume down to 30 so its just some background filler.. if i listen to anything its external to the game

[prisma hearth]

Not quite, it's more like "I would be very glad if this artist made it in but I won't leave if they don't"

oh hah i meant the tidal app or whatever.. like how YT on mobile stops playing if you switch to something else

Any Manga readers in here? Recently picked up a new one called maid to skate and the art is really cool

[tame breach]

lmao the synopsis sounds.. interesting 😂

In this world, maids go about their everyday lives dressed in long black dresses, frilly aprons—and skate shoes?! Whether they’re running errands or hitting the half-pipe, these maids shred the town. Like witches have their brooms, these ladies have their boards. If one thing’s certain, these maids are totally Maid to Skate.

Is there something the 15m grab gap challenge wants specifically.

Because I did a 15m grab at a park several times

[still marsh]

Yes it is odd but the art of the different tricks is awesome

[tame breach]

try leaving the park entirely and then going back in.. sometimes it just doesnt realise you're in the trigger zone so you have to leave and re-enter

Yeah ts not working for me I’ve don’t so many 15m jumps

[glacial sinew]

In any case, if anyone wants to start a small group to do the own the lot, I'm in! (send a Discord friend request and we'll exchange our EA IDs)

I completed that challenge in the hedgemont community park. Jumping off the crane into the pipe below then launching off one of the corners

I really hope this game is doing well, the things they won't tell us. Cuz I play this game everyday

i'm playing this game until they make the actual next skate franchise
you will really enjoy the game if you have skater eyes where you mostly focus on the skateboarding ingame and not the issues/rants on social media and seeing the game as a skate. sandbox

them folks just hate playing at this point
trying to ruin others vibe through those ain't it
we have glorious Skate 3 existing if they want to play the best skate game we have yet
they always forget that part of skate being Totally Free which i'm kinda glad it is so we can have more players to experience skate. gameplay which will then lead to new players becoming fans of the franchise and hopefull making the next actual installment/franchise to be more successful
i'm just thinking skate is like testing the waters for the actual game

Most issues people have is that the map is small and not diverse enough, when it comes to map variety (hills, big ramps, day/night cycle) and game modes and customisation being on the level of mobile game you play in small game sessions.

Above the ka boom .. start left and keep above the halfway line..

From before early access? I haven't looked but I've seen ppl say that's all been removed

yeah, already finished it using another way (from top of event map to ramp)
thanks though 🫶

[waxen siren]

ah yeah, nice

I only have 2 REWARDS to get from the pass.

Like the still working on it trailer and playtest highlights? They're still on the official skate channel

[tame breach]

i dont know the names tbh just recall a couple times its come up here where ppl have said some old trailer that showed the pre-early access style was claimed to be removed 🤷‍♂️

[desert storm]

Huh weird, those trailers are still up for me. I even screenshotted them, but I'm not high enough a level yet 😭

[fringe totem]

The new event feeling extra soulless even though its one of the better ones so far

[tame breach]

because its a 3wk cut and paste event with a title that's most likely just gonna add "er" to the word...

firecrackerer
firecrackererer
firecrackerererer <-- can only assume 🤦‍♂️

it just feels like a half effort, especially with the challenges so far just resetting to the same as the previous week..

doesnt help with the tix debarkle taking any wind out of the sails ppl might have had

[dusk dew]

Hopeful skate season 3 brings the hype needed to make the game more enjoyable. I can’t wait until March 10th

[tame breach]

i'm gonna assume everyone thinks a lot is riding on S3 .. we'll know more March 5th when the details are revealed

[fringe totem]

The challenges are what gets my goat, what do they expect me to do? I hit up my friends to play the "new event" and its like cool we get to do the exact same 6 challenges from last week sick

[dusk dew]

Yep, I’m looking forward to reading the details of what’s to come in season 3

[tame breach]

i hope its what ppl want from the game.. i'm not so sure i'll get what i want most so i'm not holding my breath but the players deserve something actually decent atp

[eager spear]

🤞

[latent orchid]

I hope at some point we get events that have a point, or are more than just recolored community parks. The Halloween event would have been a lot better had they had pumpkins or Halloween decorations scattered around the city. The holiday event would have been better with some Christmas lights scattered around, and maybe even a big lit tree in the middle of the city. Rinse and repeat with any event.

For as much as they claim SV is a living and breathing city, it’s incredibly static. Other than some cracks and a few leaves they placed- it’s pretty much identical to how it’s been.

Challenges could be across the map too. Even something silly like collect rotten pumpkins (instead of the traditional bearings).

[modern hedge]

I js need venture trucks man

[tame breach]

the city being so static is something i'd like to see improved.. anything that makes it feel more alive would be an improvement

[latent orchid]

and I’d love to see going forward, since each season lines up with actual North American seasons-

In the spring all the leaves and bushes should be blooming and colorful. In the summer everything should be green, in the fall it can look like autumn, and in winter it looks more like winter. Stuff like that would go a huge way for immersion and actually making the city feel real.

[tame breach]

what i'd like to see is something like some buskers on street corners that show up in different spots, the 2 stages would be great to have a band play with a crowd even if its just NPCs.. cars that park and leave different spots not the same cars same spots all the time, the icecream truck drives around.. NPCs that do more than slow walk like why not have a couple joggers? bikes? etc..

[latent orchid]

When you think about the possibilities this game has- that’s what makes what we’ve been given more disappointing. They could do so much, yet (so far) they’ve done so little.

decisions had to be made early i get that, but barely any acknowledgement of what ppl been telling them for so long is just off.. i am positive we're just getting a bad choice of deliverables chosen a long time ago like they're just pushing out what was decided in a meeting 3yrs ago without any community consultation

[latent orchid]

It’ll be interesting to read the dev update today/tomorrow. They really need to garner some goodwill and not just talk about cosmetics and the store. We need substance about actual development and direction of the game.

[glass grotto]

I get the whole "early access" thing (even if it feels like an excuse to start making money on a game early), but i really genuinely do fear that this game will wind up in early access/beta purgatory for literal years like Escape From Tarkov was until it gets to the level of "game" that people are looking for

[tame breach]

i tried being positive about these sorts of announcements but just cant.. feels like i'm just gonna be told whats already on the S3 roadmap with some promises of more cool things i'm gonna be told later..

also socks.. its hilarious that this has become such a meme issue.. literally any day of the week could someone colour an existing pair of socks white/black and drop them into the store as a freebie.. why hold this off for so long?

[modern radish]

season 3 leak: they still be skating

[latent orchid]

To me the sock thing is like when you forget something so trivial it’s embarrassing. And the more people bring it up, the more embarrassed you feel.

[tame breach]

lol its exactly that.. like so embarassing you just avoid it all the time

i think i might have mentioned already but if not i'll do it again lol..

I did mine like this with one difference.. i immediately spread eagled and waited for the compass to show i was in hedgemont comm park.. then i got on my board and did the 15m grab and spread eagle slammed in the park

worth trying off the crane as well..

.. and if its just not registering, leave the park and go back then try again

[severe estuary]

bro... how hard is it to just let people skate in grom without needing to pay rip chips or buy premium, actually crazy

[warped gulch]

LOL

[royal latch]

dawg. everybody wanted to be able to go back to the tutorial island and ya'll are making it paid are we serious.

[unborn mulch]

What we need yo pay ???

[pulsar hawk]

24 hour ticket to Island of Grom?! why not just have it unlocked forever for everyone that seems odd

[sacred oar]

Crazy

[flat loom]

i have to PAY to access areas of the map now hahahahhahgahaha

Not real money

you're locking a map behind a paywall... great

of course it is lmfao

a map we have seen before

[nova canyon]

hell yeah

isle of grom

[molten drum]

When is the new season?

[limpid zenith]

wasnt one of the main selling points of this game that you wouldn't have to unlock areas of the map like that? Like how you can skate all across San Van? So We're just out and taking back promises LOLLLLL

[tame breach]

damnit i didnt get a chance to read all of the update before y'all started talking about paid Grom lol

[frozen hatch]

Isle of Grom locked behind a paywall? Yeah, nah

[hasty chasm]

Grom passes are beyond stupid

They've handled this game so poorly, but this is easily the worst decision. They know people are just dying for anything else to skate besides the boring map they made. lol. squeeze anything they can out of the desperate players.

[reef hazel]

Yeah idk about this one chief

[elder adder]

when is brickswich coming out

[thorn aurora]

hell yeah we're going back to grom

[nova canyon]

work, get money and buy it

Just for clarity you buy it with the earnable chips that I don't think anyway cares about

Gatekeeping grom with a paywall. Y’all really want this game dead don’t ya?😂👌🏼

[fickle warren]

Thats gotta be the nail in the coffin, they dont listen to a damn thing

i fully expected this reaction

[olive torrent]

one bad decision after another

These updates are aimed at getting you more of what you want, and less of what you don’t.

yeah i didnt ask for paywalled maps lols

You have to pay to visit the island 💀

lololol pay to skate tutorial island lmfao

milking the assets... I am so sorry ya'll work for EA

I'm laughing so hard at some of these replies ahahahah

You guys finally listened but you put it behind a paywall 😂😂

[tropic meteor]

Having to buy access back to tutorial island... 🙄

[stoic isle]

Wait, so we have to grind for tix to pay for a day pass to skate a spot?

[rapid glen]

does that mean there are going to be more boxes to open for the island?

[night crane]

So full circle lied about making new maps free of charge. On their skate boardroom they said no paywalls for maps expansion. Wow

[regal girder]

24h pass for a map ? then you have to pay with a currency ?
What the f ?

[median jay]

wow im genuinely surprised they took it that far 🫠

[oak thorn]

Whole update is nothing but an opportunity to buy more things.

[dense flower]

Didn't they say they weren't going to put playable content being paywalls??

[fickle lantern]

So my tix are still useless and will reset to 0.. love it

[pulsar hawk]

people defending this paid service is hilarious

[olive torrent]

buy premium pass or pay for 24 hour passes lmao

[frozen hatch]

Where's Brickswich? 😂 will that be also paywalled? Wouldn't be surprised at this point. I regret getting founders edition. Typical EA money grab, should've known better...

[dusty quarry]

That is absolutely insane

[midnight abyss]

Paying for tutorial island is diabolical 😭💀

[fossil phoenix]

Reminder: The new Session update also dropped this morning and it's FREE.

[hasty chasm]

Ignores us on the tix cash out complaints then hyper monetizes new content in a freaking early access game.

[gray wyvern]

Sony’all putting Grom behind a paywall 🤦🏻‍♂️ wow EA

[near relic]

This is insaneeeeeeeeee.
I was like oh, they are gonna give us already existing content for free.
But no they paywalled it.

[limpid zenith]

ngl skyfi you defending this is insane. This is literally something that they said they wouldn't do during the pre beta We aren't supposed to be unlocking map areas with a currency in the game.

[spiral dove]

what happened to this? https://youtu.be/FAMgtFyrQLk?t=440

[fallen glen]

Whoever is taking decisions for this game, take them out of the board before it's too late lol

this game is so finished bro 24hour renting or you buy a portion of the map with real money are the devs smoking crack?

[ebon bison]

Did they not mention that their will be no maps hide behind a paywall ??

[torn phoenix]

Locking the island behind the pass is crazy work 💀

[lethal cradle]

Are you kidding me????? I will never ever ever ever ever pay to skate a map for a limited time. These people are out of their minds

[cursive bolt]

Actually disgusting that they did this

[crimson tundra]

Time to boot up skate 3, can’t support this lack of effort…

[cedar pelican]

Paying to go back to the area you start in is oddball

[thorny gulch]

paying to get to grom is craaaazy

[gilded canopy]

this is sickening

[uncut fulcrum]

well it’s nice their adding the island but having to wait a whole another month if you don’t have the premium pass is kinda wild icl😂

[hoary glen]

Yooooogou don’t have to pay. Only if you want early access

[formal mortar]

Grom is back and bigger than ever
It's pay to skate

They had me in the first half, I ain't gonna lie

[latent orchid]

Really like where they’re going, but wtf is the Grom access crap?

Early on they stated map expansions would NOT be behind a paywall. In their own words- because in previous games if you didn’t buy the DLC, but your friends did- you couldn’t play with them. THEIR WORDS. They said the only MTX in the game would be cosmetics. And yes, I’m aware Rip chips are earnable and not paid.

Buying ferry tix is a little too “real”. Bro we just want places to skate and fast travel.

[worn flint]

this game is early access ?? why are they making it so only paid players have access ???? everyone should be able to play it and test it

[royal latch]

respectfully it is a tutorial island you should be able to just freely go back to regardless. on top of that for the first like week it's only available to premium pass holders. It's a ripchip sink you pay for 24 hour access.

[split ingot]

Who thought buying 24 access to a map was a good idea. Was nice knowing you skate. Lol

[ornate silo]

"We know this is gonna be everyones favourite spot!! So we put it behind a paywall!" Right... ok. It's a TUTORIAL ISLAND. Everyone should be able to go there freely whenever they want for as long as they want. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Ya'll are just making all the wrong decisions atp.

[celest harbor]

EA being EA

[chrome wind]

I feel like this is an activision call of duty type of update, promise the players the world and heavily fall short

[fallen magnet]

Putting the tutorial map teleport behind a paywall 💔 just make a new ea acc

[slate garnet]

Selling an early access pass to the tutorial island in an early access game. Then making it paid content after is wild.

[nova canyon]

skate. pass premium holders atm: hell yeah!

[delicate adder]

500 rip chips probably needs you to clear the whole map of daily challenges

[frigid elbow]

You guys are actually paywalling a tutorial area

[glass timber]

They also said they wouldn't patch funny glitches and still did

[nova echo]

LMAO EA wants to charge to get “early access” to a tutorial area? Go F yourselves lmfao. Just make a new account and go for free

[naive glen]

Having to pay to have unlimited access to the tutorial island is so stupid

[turbid sonnet]

PREMIUM + SKATE PASS?!?! Yall a streaming service now? hard L

[stray elk]

Omg this game is just a cash grab now why are we paywalling ts………..

[frozen hatch]

The devs are just doing their job. It's the managers and the higher ups who are actually making these decisions

[pulsar night]

They said 3 years ago no parts of the map would be pay walled

[open token]

Clothes would be a rip chip sink

[nimble charm]

Pay to grom...

[warped gulch]

Yeah the early access is undeniably stupid but I'm personally out of stuff to buy with rip chips so I don't find myself too concerned about the rip chip cost

[radiant summit]

Paying for 24hr access to a damn map is absolutely insane; get rid of my comment idc. But yall straight up lied about maps not being paywalled so

[limpid zenith]

so glad I didn't but the fact I tried defending this game back at the beginning makes me unironically angry. I don't think I'm ever gonna play this game again after this LMAO

[cosmic edge]

It’s insane how many bad decisions there’s been in almost every update lmfao

This ain't it 😭

And yet, here we are! 🤡

[vale anchor]

I'm not defending it, I'm along for the ride amongst the chaos. I've got nitpicks and things I'm frustrated about. But I'm going to be clear with my frustration and make the distinction of what it is vs what people are assuming it is.

Do I like that there is a paid exchange to access something? No.
But you don't use real money to get there and there is a huge abundance of rip chips that most of us are sitting on so I kinda get what they were thinking with it.

Do I like it? No.

[nimble charm]

I don't even know if I can read pass Grom being a paid for exclusive area.

[near relic]

How many of you guys have and haven't given EA money for this game.
Rip chips etc.

Legit false advertising crazy

i bought the skate pass premium the last two seasons and was a Skate Insider, I still can tell that this is a garbage update to throw free-to-play people under the bus…

yeah, they need to $ survive $, if you dont have money, you can still playing

[tropic meteor]

It's a tutorial island. Literally for TUTORIALS. It should be free for people to go to whenever they want for as long as they want. Ofc people are mad. It's a stupid decision. And they know what they're doing, because they literally said "We know it'll be everyone's favourite spot!"

[thorny gulch]

real kook behavior tbh

[hoary glen]

You can still earn rip chips and take the taxi there though.

[oak thorn]

EA upper management have no idea what their players want in any game. They just milk the customers as much as possible and shut games down.

[smoky jungle]

Remember when they said no map will ever be paywalled 😂

[cosmic edge]

“No areas will be locked behind a paywall”

[glad cradle]

my skate keeps closing when its on the loading page it runs for a while then closes by itself what should I do ;-;

[turbid sonnet]

Kook city!

[regal girder]

Since they did not specify wich money
I'm 120% sure it will be SVB only

[formal mortar]

Honestly some of the upcoming changes are pretty based like a big catalogue of clothes to browse at any time, but paywalling Grom is greedy as heck, be better EA execs. Saudis really want those dividends I guess

[fallen magnet]

Why they making the tutorial map paywalled

[gilded canopy]

Jeff the Skater is writing

[solid hamlet]

premium+ pass sounds sketch

[glass timber]

They saw the backlash from last week and said pulled a DJ Khaled and said "Another one"

[flat loom]

devs if you're reading chat right now you have actually lost you're minds

[earnest spruce]

W@fck it f#ck3& up my hype, 500 Rip Chips for 24 hours access???? I thought I was playing a game not going for motel or something

[ebon lake]

they discovered a loophole to still have maps be on a paywall for a limited amount of time 😭
also not everyone can post right now on reddit

[hasty chasm]

How long is the chat timer now?

[subtle trellis]

Keep you eyes on Skate Style folks... demo on Steam now 👍

[chrome wind]

By the official launch we will have premium+++++++++++

[open token]

But bro you don’t understand it’s only time gated /s

[delicate adder]

I think you get 5 per objective, so the hardest challenges give 25. The daily tasks (aka chores) may top it up to 500 but they've been making those grindier lately (e.g. 30,000 spin degrees)

[knotty pebble]

People still play this game?

[strange hare]

"But, as an added benefit for our skate.Pass Premium holders, they will get first dibs to skate Grom before anyone else. " LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[red snow]

Hey dev team, listen to the players… no one wants to pay for this crap. Do whats right. Yall are already nickel and diming us for cosmetics and season passes.

[vestal turtle]

this is the dumbest thing i've read and i love eating cheeseburgers.... they paywalled a tutorial island?

[warm crow]

i have like 15k rip chips, so i honestly don't care about using them. this is a dumb decision from the higher-ups either way, and i can't help but feel bad for Full Circle's developers

[nova echo]

This is embarrassing EA and Full Circle. Done with this game now. It was fun while it lasted. Great job killing it.

Greed has out done you guys this time.

Going back on your word. Absolutely spineless.

You guys continue spit in our faces of everything we want this game to be. You don’t deserve players anymore.

[olive torrent]

also aside from the whole isle of grom thing they're bragging about giving more tix with the premium+ skate pass...... that will just get wiped at the end of the season? lmao

[stark compass]

Devs, the goal was for season 3 to bring back players. How does paywalling the map do that? Garbage update

[fossil phoenix]

Guys, I figured it out. EA THEMSELVES were M-Corp all along.

[dull pilot]

it will be SVB, but it will be stuff from skate.Insider Early Access (before Sept 16) previous seasons, rotations that haven't come back.
the folks working on the store wanted to make sure that there's stuff for folks at any time so they don't have to wait on a rotation. (brands, costumes, other types of cosmetics that we revealed last week, etc.)

[limpid zenith]

"I'm not defending it" then literally a paragraph later "But you don't use real money to get there and there is a huge abundance of rip chips that most of us are sitting on so I kinda get what they were thinking with it."

Like bro, you're saying you're not and then are immediately going "BUT THIS!" that's defending it LMAO

[tranquil creek]

bruhhh i just keep thinking of that square ahhh mf talking about SOCKS . b . im gonna make so much lore about this sh yalls kids are gonna rage

[quaint mason]

Did no one say “wait is this a bad idea,do you think this will upset the player base? “ and they said nah or just said we don’t care

[shut willow]

EA is actually among those that keep their servers alive for a good while

[ornate silo]

but what is if u log out in the map and then later after the 24h are up logback in can u teleport to a friend hes on there ?

[pulsar hawk]

they aren’t gonna get a ton of money from Grom tickets lmao they’re just ruining their trust with their playerbase when they reject made promises

[night crane]

Well the devs did say no paywalled maps 3 yrs ago 😹 u a goof

[neon vault]

there are things people have asked from the start and none of it has been paywalling the tutoriial or resetting Tix count

[open token]

My brother in Christ

[fathom vale]

Can we just port Skate 3 to new gen already.

[nocturne haven]

It’s literally expanded version of tutorial island with events. But people in this server just want to be mad instead of enjoying what we get.

[ancient oar]

So is island of grom pay to play or no

[lapis wharf]

all the devs and higher ups in here defend themselves no matter what, they've done it for years and will continue to do so until this game dies

[velvet geode]

Paywalling the starting map is crazzzzy dumb wtf?

[wind fjord]

Seriously a premium pass with early access to a ma update and instead making the rest of us wait a whole extra month the greed is real players will desert you cause you’re asking for more money for early access to an expansion on the map I know the map expansion is technically free but it’s just asking for money to get you there sooner so you need to pay to have something we should’ve had months ago

[warm atlas]

A whole extra month before going back to the tutorial island, I'm so tired

[radiant summit]

A great way to boycott is to just delete the game. I’ve deleted mine a whilllllle ago

[vale anchor]

If that's how you see me looking at nuance then, sure.

[cinder field]

No it’s not. It’s litterally 100% not.

[pastel wren]

Paywalling the TUTORIAL ISLAND is a genuinely baffling decision that I can’t believe ever got considered. I have ZERO problem paying for new areas to skate (bought every DLC for skate 2 & 3), but the tutorial island is already in the game and has no business being locked behind a paywall model. You are making us pay for early access to an area in a game that itself is in “early access” and in desperate need of new content to keep the game alive and fresh

[slate garnet]

Making an update that isn’t completely stupid: difficulty level impossible

[glad cradle]

my skate keeps closing when its on the loading page it runs for a while then closes by itself what should I do ;-;

[pseudo willow]

I can't wait to launch glitch my way over to the isle for free 😇

[nova canyon]

there is a possibility to adidas blue track suit back to store?

[true basin]

it is until may

[tame breach]

i'd love to read all these comments i am sure some of them are pure gold..

[ripe ermine]

People with hundred of thousands rip chips: what will I do with this much. An way of spending 😡 no not this way

[pallid drift]

Listen I really try to keep a level head with unpopular announcements but what the actual hell is this, i mean for real

[smoky jungle]

So the Nike dunk pack is coming back?

[torn phoenix]

Surely they have to reverse this decision right? It’s not sustainable to run the game like this at all

[ebon bison]

As a Founder Edition Owner and Playtester did i have to pay to access the Grom island ??

[earnest spruce]

Thats not the bad part, thats ok, the bad part is you need to pay 500 rip chips to get access for 24 hours, after 24 hours you need to pay again to get access for another 24 hours (What was on the mind of the people who thought that something like this would be great?????)

[compact shadow]

Return to grom island😱
They listened

[limber pumice]

No mention of brickswitch or custom parks, but we get a paywalled tutorial island 🗣️

[fathom peak]

holy crap what is happening

[tropic meteor]

Well, no. Because they've said before that they weren't going to paywall any areas. They've constantly gone against user feedback and made their players hate the game. So, yes... people will be mad.

[glass timber]

I've done it last week.

[solid flower]

EA gonna EA.. not sure why were surprised about it

[shut willow]

From what I read yes you do

[near relic]

You gotta pay to visit it.....

[valid ruin]

Here's an idea. Make Grom Island a one time unlock for a high amount of rip chips. Similar to how many other normal games handle progression? This 24 hour ticket idea is going to make people not want to play

[flat gulch]

The chat is going so fast no one will see me say that I'm not gay.

[nova canyon]

ILL pay FOR the ISLAND!

[olive torrent]

yeah i want to spend them on things like boards and clothes not on a 24-hour pass to a part of a map lmfao

[cinder field]

This is your reminder that words mean things.

If you can play something paying with free very easy earnable “currency” it’s not paywalled.

[real goblet]

Wow.. paywalling a playable area, after explicitly saying no game play features or areas would ever be paywalled.. they literally want to kill this game.

[gusty edge]

So not getting brickswitch?

[sharp anchor]

cant wait to have to buy isle of grom on 5 accounts just to host a server over there without grinding

[livid zinc]

pay walling early access to a tutorial map is one thing, but the early access being over a month is actually ridiculous

[vapid sable]

is anybody else mad about there being “seasons” and a “battle pass” in early frickin access

[tired crater]

Nope. Better pay up buddy (I was also a beta tester and bought the founders)

[dull pilot]

it's not the same as the tutorial island.
for example, if someone just starts the game, they are on Isle of Grom (tutorial version)
you can't access the updated Isle of Grom until you exit the tutorial island and get to San Van, then hit up the Water Taxi.
they expanded the island, added some stuff inspired by Skate 3 spillway, etc.

[fossil phoenix]

EA = M-Corp

[proud nest]

responding to questions about cosmetics LMAO absolute echo chamber at full circle

[rough stone]

Paywalling the tutorial island just proves this company is going broke. Last ditch effort to get money at the cost of their own reputation. Terrible decision

[strange hare]

ive no idea how they can sit down and think players will like this LOL

[naive scaffold]

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO, this is the most classic EA thing I've ever seen in my life 😭✌🏻

[gilded canopy]

its the same

[oblique kernel]

I might come back some day...

[unique rover]

It's literally pay to play for the entire first month

[latent orchid]

The one time unlock is skate pass premium.

[placid anchor]

why can it not be ripchips (at high prices?)

sounds like a way to clutter the already existing svb cosmetics with other stuff

[cinder field]

No it’s not

[olive torrent]

because you don't have to pay money for rip chips

[placid anchor]

.. or just make that shop so we can spend our tix (that wont be roled over with)

[shut willow]

But does this extend to the season after that

[night crane]

Cmon the devs said no paywalled maps in their first ever board room. What changed their mind

[turbid sonnet]

Will founders have access to the island?

[bronze grail]

What about all that talk that new areas wouldn't be locked behind a paywall?

[stray elk]

Are they gonna make us pay for brickswich too

[wraith socket]

Getting on to do a kickflip of disappointment then logging off

[fallen glen]

With the amount of games I see closing lately, I am sadly expecting the same to happen with skate in the coming months

[atomic ruin]

trickle access to a part of the map is mind blowing

[dull pilot]

i have shared Boolin's thread about the Rip Chip store with the team. definitely an idea I dug.

[clear furnace]

i dont think they ever dropped... i might be wrong i would of been had them

[lapis wharf]

just unnecessary and obviously catering away from ftp players for something that isn't cosmetics. there was genuinely no reason to make it not 24/7 accessible. just something annoying to steer you towards spending money which is a predatory practice

[fresh abyss]

I remember in the initial pitch for this game they outright said NO map areas would be locked behind paywalls, and now we get paywalled map content, man.. yall fell off.

[ripe ermine]

It’s points you completely get for free. Doing missions

[vale anchor]

Trying to understand why a decision was made does not always mean condoning said decision. Without understanding you can't properly offer up alternative solutions. Everything else gets lost in the rage conversation.

[noble violet]

games not out and we already got to pay

[old geyser]

mental, money grabbing at its finest. shameful

[stark compass]

What about y'all stating you'd never paywall map updates?

[wind fjord]

Look at this response Devs you say you are listening and proceed to show that you aren’t scummy behaviour begets negative feedback and that’s on you people are rightfully annoyed. Time and time again you keep showing your true colours. Straight up lies were told to hype up this game and you’ve backtracked already

[warm crow]

i'm sorry if you take this as disrespect, but the expansion doesn't really look all too cool. updated or not, it's a little silly

[dense flower]

Guessing it's EA pushing this crap, why even bother working with them? Why not just self publish at that point

[shut willow]

Not giving founders the early access to the island automatically is not a good move, and I'm not saying this as a founder cause I'm not

[open token]

The picture in the blog makes it look like 10-15% bigger. That’s not really a justification

[smoky jungle]

He said items that dropped before the final realize and it was before so maybe

[vale wigeon]

no mention of custom parks :(

[velvet geode]

What I can see is not that big of an expansion in comparison. There's no way that this small addition is worth paying to play it early.

[sweet herald]

Devs: “oh man The whales gon love this one ☝️”

[solid flower]

someone with perms do me a solid and post a gif of clownshoes plz

[tame breach]

roadmap said new tricks.. turns out the tricks are us 😂

[fallen magnet]

Just make an actual skate game. None of this live service BS.

[pulsar hawk]

man what happened to the Skate that I love

We paying for area access with NO story NO games of s.k.a.t.e and NO pro skaters

[radiant summit]

“We changed the map so it isn’t grom akschually” 🥹
Dude you guys are so out of touch it’s baffling; there ain’t a damn person here happy about this and yall echo chambering about cosmetics is insane.
I’m digging out my ps3 and playing the old ones

[limpid zenith]

unironically said this earlier, We were told that we never had to unlock any areas with any form of currency, paid or not. Just like how San Van is completely open right out at the start of the gate. Straight up false advertising

[tired crater]

No. That's not the point, they want you to buy the premium season 3 pass for access. They do not care that you are a founder, that was just a one time payment. Lets see if they paywall custom maps too lol

[stark badge]

What happened to no pay wall maps? this game is such a disappointment

[tranquil creek]

EA = M-corp. like i get overtime we will have "chips" to get there, but u added access through the paid GAMEPASS! like holyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[latent orchid]

They know the number 1 area this game is lacking in Grom and everything Grom offers. Business wise, this was a “smart” move. People will pay because they’re so unbelievably sick of SV and want anywhere else to skate. So they made it so people will buy the skate pass premium who wouldn’t have just for cosmetics.

Once again, “smart” business move, but braindead move if you’re not trying to totally piss off your remaining players.

[neon vault]

"hey you know that thing nobody asked for or even considered? We did that instead of the things everybody asked for. We are committed to making skate. the best it can be"

[tame breach]

@glacial sage imma need another essay on this update bro

[ornate silo]

but why not put it on the map so that we can combo in the island from the normal map 🙁

[fossil phoenix]

Update for Session dropped this morning, gonna go play that instead.

[sacred shell]

Board room: yeah we're giving map exspansions out for free.

Ea: first map exspansion boom paywall

[compact shadow]

Oh hell nag

[delicate adder]

They probably only need like 1% of us to be big enough suckers to eat this up. These F2P games only care about whales who buy everything in sight

[quaint mason]

This just can’t be real life, it just can’t be!

[sweet gulch]

Dont forget, they also reduced the amount of rip chips you get now

[unique cradle]

It's not smart if player retention drops, lol

[dim pollen]

I will not be paying a subscription to get access to things we already have in the previous games...

[lusty hound]

i am severely depressed and disappointed

[turbid sonnet]

I wish this game was on a disc like back in the day so I could burn it. I cant believe I defended this greedy game. Thank God for arc raiders.

[naive scaffold]

24 hour access for a video game island I'm crying son 😭✌🏻

[clear furnace]

need to get my wallet ready for some things i missed lol

[harsh oracle]

putting map access to a pre-existing area behind a paywall is insane 😭

[fossil shell]

Weird how you've said several times on here that no gameplay areas would be behind a paywall, but now there's gonna be a 'new' area...and it's behind a paywall. 🤔

[nova echo]

@dull pilot is the picture of the new Grom an in game screenshot? Has different lighting than the old one. Just wondering if thats hinting at day/night cycles or updated lighting in game in genral

[weary meteor]

They said they won't put pay walls on maps WTH

[noble violet]

taking it a lil too seriously

[cinder field]

O wait. You’re half right. Yeah that’s kinda bad.

[gilded canopy]

liars

[pulsar kestrel]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

[blissful edge]

Lmaaaaao

[torn phoenix]

Generational speedrun to kill your own game 🫩

[marsh wedge]

Do we pay with real money or rip chip?

[olive torrent]

how half right? what part of the first month is not pay to play?

[bronze grail]

@dull pilot again, what about that talk about not locking any new area behind a paywall? Did they throw that idea out of the windows all of a sudden?

[sweet herald]

I’m gonna lie this update is so 🔥

[tired crater]

Upcoming Dev update: "Here’s how it’ll go down: for the first month at the start of Season 3, skate.Pass Premium holders will have unlimited access to custom parks. If you don't like it, well, it's a free to play game so deal with it"

[tame breach]

i see what u did there

[night crane]

He ain't gonna address that so no point asking him. Feel bad for bro

[valid ruin]

I'm not against using rip chips to unlock new areas. Just let us keep it once unlocked so it feels like progression. This just feels hollow

[empty pier]

A toothpick changes everything.

[pulsar hawk]

so we all agree that the Devs are not listening to us right?

[celest harbor]

In 1 year EA is taking down this one

[wind fjord]

This was the plan all along man make people wait until they feel like the only way to enjoy the game is to pay more to get to these things quicker it’s those scummy mobile game practices that want you to buy gems or smth so you don’t have to wait 24h for a build. This franchise is finished the last skate game was skate 3 cause this isn’t Skye

[rough stone]

A smart business move wouldn’t have the entire community up and arms like it is right now. This is far from a “smart” business move if they are losing all potential players who would be open to spend more money on other cosmetic items

[true basin]

no way they're doing early access for the tutorial map now

[limber pumice]

Will the stickers show on my board at isle of Grom or do I have to buy the drivers battle pass?

[elder bison]

i just wanna know who tf is coming up with these ideas…. holy shii

[limpid zenith]

yeah, kick it off of my Drive forever

[lapis wharf]

and now no devs are talking cause they know they're fumbling ✌️ genuine clown show

[agile copper]

You’re gonna get timed out or banned for that dude

[umbral saffron]

W STEEZ

[earnest spruce]

Bruh

[tame breach]

buy a pass or 500 chips a day .. what are they doing over there

[dim pollen]

yo we heard you liked early access so we put early access into your early access game to access areas early

[radiant summit]

Hey where are the devs? Usually they’re timing people out for making comments they don’t like? Guess this time they know they messed up

[stark compass]

This is the most negative engagement EA has received since telling us about pride and accomplishments for Star Wars. Lmao 🤣

[ancient oar]

Is the tutorial island able to be gone too yet or nah

[cinder field]

Well. The way they explain it is “it’s an extra early sneak peek you get with the premium pass” if we agree with that explanation is a different story but there’s some nuance there.

I think it would’ve been way better to give this to founders for example. Or people who bought earlier passes. But yeah.

[worldly moth]

i can't take it anymore, insider and im cold turkeying the hopium train, premium island for a month is cooked

[iron mica]

Island of grom being paywalled is insane work

[pastel wren]

The main map isn’t even complete yet (brickswich has been left completely untouched for 2 seasons now with the exception of some foliage / lighting tweaks) and you expect us to get excited about the return of the tutorial island locked behind a scummy paywall? Shame on you

[timid wagon]

I wonder what Vee has to say about this…

[open token]

Dude defending this game is so unbelievably difficult

[shut willow]

But how would this explain restricting access after the event

[zenith condor]

Tutorial island getting paywalled is insane man. Yall continue to throw this game down the gutter for no reason

[olive torrent]

I'm done lol

[kind turtle]

Almost a month of time of an area locked behind a paywall. Bruh

[full narwhal]

Is Grom available for premium players for a short period before eventually people get full access in the end?

[thorny gulch]

when's the next survey?

[sweet herald]

Time to ask for my parental figure’s credit card to unlock the tutorial island

[olive torrent]

what is there to defend at this point

[sacred shell]

Yeahhh use your skater money to find good spots

[olive torrent]

like yeah the physics are great but everything else is bad

[nova echo]

Rip chips aren’t a paid currency so everyone will get it for free eventually. Only the people stupid enough to buy the skate pass will get it earlier.

This trend in gaming needs to die though. Paying to get early access for a week is a joke

[tame breach]

its simple.. we just stop defending what we like about it

[ebon summit]

rip chips are the earnable ingame currency right? and tix is the mtx one?

[harsh oracle]

maybe ill just go back to the starter island for free by making a new account, what then huh?

[cinder field]

But that’s not paywalling. Free rip chips is not money, as much as we like to call it currency.

[night crane]

@hollow hazel where u at with ur mindless glazing 😹

[limpid zenith]

the nuance is about as deep as a children's swimming pool Prullen, and you know it.

[snow vapor]

No way we have skate pass premium now 😭

[queen pilot]

day pass for intellectual property lmfao classic EA

[true basin]

that skate style demo on steam looks real good rn

[ornate silo]

wait wait that means too u cant even bring a friend over there lets say hes new got the game and u skate the new place then u cant play whit him bruh

[noble violet]

give us your social security number and the last four digits on the back of your credit card!

[slender harness]

I'm usually a skate. stan and will defend the game til I'm blue in the face, but a day pass for a new area/content is kinda wild. I get that there's not a whole lot of diversity when it comes to spending rip chips, so people are sitting on a ton of it, but there's gotta be a better/ more creative way than this. And I know it's not real money you have to spend to access, but the community already generally views the microtransactions negatively, and I think this will be more fuel to that flame.

[warm crow]

me as well
i'm still gonna stay in here just in the off-chance the higher-ups make a good decision for once, but i'm taking an indefinite break

[shut willow]

It's time invested to earn those, and it's still a very odd move

[earnest spruce]

I was happy seeing that we got a new map to play but then I just started reading and my smile faded away instantaneously, crazy expectation subversion 😢

[vale oak]

No mention of player parks in that post… I hope it’s still coming in S3.

[shut willow]

Especially after claiming they wanna respect our time

[fathom peak]

bro, i quit playing this game months ago.

i had no idea it would get THIS bad.

[quaint mason]

They want this game to die, there is no other reason for these awful ideas

[idle tartan]

delaying the island for f2p players seems like maybe the worst pr move anyone could think up

at the same time, i dont think 4 weeks of f2p players not being able to access an area is enough for this much outrage. it is what it is

[frank coral]

Just shut the game down at this point

[elder bison]

watch we won’t even be able to use our rip chips that we currently have ☠️

[uncut fulcrum]

or any game modes either so still nothing to do in that game rly

[valid ruin]

It says Isle of Grom general access is may - june. What happens after June 2?

[marsh wedge]

I dont understand why people are complaining you can get rip chips by doing challenges yes its sucks that it last 24hours

[upbeat swallow]

what happened to no paid areas?

[cinder field]

I never said it wasn’t an odd move. A lot of odd moves are being made 🙂

[ebon bison]

The servers will be down before the park editor comes out

[wind fjord]

Why does it even have to be separated by purchase why can’t everyone just have the map I don’t get it what comes from splitting your audience even more? Terrible move you guys don’t listen idc if I get timed out for the 50th time because you guys can’t take criticism

[fading surge]

Did they fr lock a island behind a paywall?

[iron mica]

So the dev update was just…. Yeah we are still working on return to grom but it’s paywalled now!

Nothing anout custom parks/etc

[pulsar sonnet]

what did i even just read broooooo

[sweet herald]

Most blatant tax write off for a studio I’ve ever seen they’re not even trying to hide it atp

[tired crater]

@dull pilot I love you Jeff and I appreciate your work over the years but this news is not it. There's still time to course correct

[elfin ice]

paywall the new area

This is why your game is dying. Bye.

[gilded canopy]

Why tf would you go to that island?

[open token]

They’ll justify it by saying it’s only time gated

[zenith condor]

You have to have the battle pass after that or spend 500 rip chips for a 24 hour "day pass". what about players who dont have 300k rip chips?

[pulsar sonnet]

this needs correcting asap lol

[summer grove]

Update: more cosmetics that no one wants

[velvet geode]

Also why is the "new" Grom only accessible at a players leisure for Premium users and make others use rip chips to access? This is another horrible decision considering players just wanted to go back to the island whenever without paying.

[ebon summit]

mfs are buying tickets to a day pass in the mfing island 😭 what is this man
theres literally no way to have permeant access to this place
the game keeps getting worse and worse

[midnight spade]

so sad man

[mint wharf]

Ooo Isle of Grom is back. I need a Switch 2 version asap

[ebon lake]

i'm waiting for skate. youtuber rant vids now 😭 💀

[nova echo]

Rip chips are what you get from challenges guys, you play the game, you earn a “taxi fare” to the island. It’s not that deep.

You can earn enough every day to go every day lol

[pulsar hawk]

please pin this message lmaoooooo

[celest harbor]

Can you guys add S.K.A.T..E before the game is deleted?

[fresh abyss]

Possibly the worst dev update of all time. ggs

[umbral saffron]

They not gonna correct anything because y’all will buy it 😂

[delicate adder]

I$£€ of Grom

What is the difference between premium and premium+ besides (what I imagine) is a bigger cost in the plus?

[night crane]

And its just more baggy jeans 🤦

[harsh oracle]

the whole blog post is just 'theres new ways to pay us' not even new things you crooks 😭

[vestal turtle]

1 step forward 10 steps back. holy moly what is going on?

[stark compass]

They delete the island access unless you pay again in Season 4. These decisions are actually garbage

we fr gotta stand up to this

[limpid zenith]

ironically enough this is gonna be the most youtube content this game is gonna have since they paid people to play the game.

[cloud ginkgo]

seriously. even if rip chips are earned, this is really ridiculous. i had to go back and reread to make sure i was understanding it correctly. they constantly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, this was a chance for such goodwill and they did the opposite. gah man i really want to love this game but this is egregious

[ornate silo]

brb gotta grind 4 a map that i skated allready but now need 500 chips to get back to 🤣

[pulsar sonnet]

grom for all all for grom

[vale wigeon]

gonna pay for the switch 2 and then pay for the new island, double down i like it

[pallid drift]

Imma go change my cats' litterboxes so I can deal with less crap than this

[unique cradle]

mobile ahhh game monetisation

[vale oak]

Make your voices heard and show them by not buying the pass.

[coarse forge]

Yikes this update is not it man… I love skate but this is really deterring me from continuing to play

[ashen mauve]

Praying the paid access to grom is just engagement bait 😭

[olive torrent]

more tix that will be wiped at the end of the season!

[earnest spruce]

Actually I think you have to pay to have no paid areas now, thank you Vee!

[turbid sonnet]

Arc raiders would never to this to us.....just saying.

[timid wagon]

Yeah bro let me grab my Day Pass™️ to come rip some gnarly ditches with you

[tulip shale]

I feel like it's all been said but I just want to voice my annoyance that this is most definitely not what's up, doodtz.

[rain bridge]

LMAOOOO they deleted it

[uncut fulcrum]

bro thinks their gonna actually add something the players want 😭😭💔

[cinder field]

I will only buy the premium pass if the items look ok. And then I’ll probably check out the island. Sure. Why not. Nothing new here.

[atomic bone]

what was it

[upbeat swallow]

time gated is still paid access regardless lol, what happened to the devs claiming they "care about comminuty"? guess they arent making enough off regurgitating the same hoodies in the shop to pay their rent anymore

[unique rover]

You'll need the premium pass to do that

[frank coral]

#actuallylistentothefans

[stray veldt]

So every update is just worse news? First tix and now this...

[uncut orbit]

Holy shi give us player created maps already

[tired crater]

MDNWU King Cobra is spinning in his grave doing ollies on his wallmart board

[lapis wharf]

they've been extremely sensitive and part of this purity culture for years now. like skating doesn't come from the PUNK SCENE

[young ice]

i haven't read the replies but i stopped reading mid-patchnotes cuz im sure yall are getting tore apart about Grom

[gilded canopy]

just uninstalled

[sturdy kelp]

I'm not even mad about paid early access to the island, that is a thing that makes sense as a business and gameplay decision, even if it is kinda scummy after all the assurances that there would be no paywalled maps. It's the "you have to grind the old, stale map for a while to be able to go to the new map for a day" bs that is getting me.

[pastel wren]

I’d say see yall in 2 years when this game is finally finished and genuinely peak but given EAs track record with live service games cough Anthem cough I’d be surprised if we can still even access this game’s servers by then

[lusty hound]

next season you have to pay ripchips to change your clothes

[midnight spade]

i dont hate the idea of the ferry, i think more interactive stuff is cool but the paywall is insane

[ebon summit]

who knew "no map areas locked behind paywall" would mean that map areas can only be accessed through 24 hour passes

its insane how almost every single thing about this game just screams money grab

[foggy yacht]

There’s always a catch with this game where they try to get as much money out of you as possible

[ebon lake]

I'm mostly EA glazer but they take a big L this time 😭

[quaint mason]

Did they say another update is tomorrow? I can’t even imagine how awful it will be

[plain oriole]

What happened to the whole “we won’t paywall off playable content” thing?

[sweet herald]

Haven’t spent any money on the game and never will

[marsh wedge]

Its rip chips its not svb bucks you can still grind challenges to stack them and go to the island but its sucks tho that its only 24 hours then you have to spend another 500 its weird

[harsh oracle]

introducing the new PLATINUM PREMIUM PLUS PASS with 1+ custom game modes!

[vestal turtle]

i cant believe that r6 is a way better game than this

[stark compass]

Notice the dates, they are gonna lock the island again for season 4. This game is dead!

[open token]

I guess create a park was in the “and beyond” roadmap after all 😭

[hollow glade]

What's the News guys? What's happening

[valid ruin]

It says "General Access May 5 - June 2. Players can either have premium+ or spend 500 rip chips"

Genuinely curious what happens after June 2nd? Does the island lose general access after that? Can this be clarified? It comes across like the island will only be available for 1 month

[rich fjord]

@dull pilot I feel so bad for you dude… this is rough. It’s gotta be tough being in here as someone who probably actually believes in this game but EA is just running it into the ground.

[vale oak]

If it was a new city I’d understand adding it behind a paywall but a tutorial island we already played for free??

[modest gale]

their entire basis of no locked away areas crumbled by season 3. nice man

[cloud ginkgo]

i genuinely want to support this game and spend plenty on microtransactions on fortnite etc.. but with the goofy outfit options and bad passes i hadnt yet. then i see theyre adding brands to the pass and was like ok i’ll buy this one, but out of principle now i’m not going to over this gated location thing. i just dont get why they seem determined to create bad press at every opportunity

[clear furnace]

Hell no never lmfao

[delicate adder]

Next will be an ImpervaTEK™ Pass. You get 10 slams per day for free then go to hospital if you don't have the pass.

[scenic gull]

dude i cant believe theyre gating the map off to a pass

[ornate silo]

and unlimited grom time too 😄 ?

[olive torrent]

i mean i hope not but yeah why does it say "June 2" instead of "Onward" or something... are they going to take it away?

[vale wigeon]

there was no mention of custom parks because the devs know that the players will build better parks than they can

[velvet geode]

Can't wait for that to be paywalled too. /s

[worthy moss]

How much you wanna bet we will have to pay ripchips to make a new park 💀

[ebon bison]

Paywall for tutorial area

[pulsar sonnet]

tutorial island isnt even a new FILE download bruh its IN the game

[ripe ermine]

holy cope, ranked 3.0 will fix siege "copium"

[dull pilot]

no, you'll be able to access it in S4 via Rip Chips.

[limpid zenith]

I absolutely love how some of the people in here in here I recognize as defending this game for AGES and now they're just crashing out as well. So glad so many of us are upset about it

[kind turtle]

What happened to the sticker that said “No map areas locked behind paywalls”

[stray veldt]

I meant the dev updates, they're not carrying over any tix from seasons and now gatekept areas behind paywalls

[charred warren]

I’d rather they just make DLC areas like the old games and let me pay $10 to unlock forever or something. I’m an adult with a job, no way you’ll see my grinding for a day pass

[scenic nova]

no areas locked behind paywall is a crazy lie

[open token]

Pay to get different locations. Or pay 500 ripchips to download new parks

[fossil shell]

Can't wait for Super Duper Premium Pass Plus++++

[placid anchor]

what happens to Grom after 2nd June?

[upbeat swallow]

why isnt the island just available to everyone? what happened to "no paywalled areas"? time gating is still paywalled lol

[tame breach]

its the end of S3 but it does allow them to do another rugpull and say "but we told you in the dev update graphic"

[pulsar sonnet]

1 basic cube for create a park will be 1000SVB

[wicked blaze]

What is the difference between premium and premium+ besides (what I imagine) is a bigger cost in the plus?

[scenic nova]

sticker has been deleted too

[echo flower]

Jeff you're not getting paid to defend every bad decision the higher ups make... are they forcing you to do this or are you genuinely in favour of paywalling map areas?

[rugged spindle]

SKATE IS IN THE BIN. Game not even out of Alpha yet you lot are charging people for a sandbox game.

[nova echo]

Guys you earn rip chips just from playing the game. You don’t pay for rip chips lmao. Its not a paid expansion. 😂

[grim stump]

New premium pass plus? is that something entirely different from the premium pass? an extra pay wall or what?

[ebon lake]

The big picture
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we’re building skate. with a long-term vision in mind. This Early Access period is a huge part of that. It gives us the space to listen, learn, tweak and test - over and over - until we get things just right.
🤔

[worldly moth]

early april fools ahh

[night crane]

Are we fr

[uncut fulcrum]

that’s what rly gets me man like if they actually designed this game the right way the live service wouldn’t even be a problem but it’s genuinely one of the laziest live service games i’ve ever seen and they use “early access” as an excuse

[pulsar sonnet]

no paid map expansion
no paid map expansion

[worn flint]

wait does that mean you've planned to not change anything in season 4? like this isnt even malleable? youve all planned that far out?

[plain oriole]

Yet they’re time gating it behind a paywall.

[open token]

Dude nobody is happy with this decision. Can you at least tell us the rationale behind the decision?

[scenic nova]

bring back the sticker!

[olive torrent]

imagine needing to delete a sticker from your discord because you're going back on what you said that's crazy

[karmic moon]

Lmfao gatekeeping a location behind the premium skate pass bro whaaaaaat. Why cant we make good decisions???

[slate garnet]

Money

[ebon summit]

no way for free players to gain permanent access to the map is disgustingly deceptive when you guys said no paywalls before the game dropped

this is essentially a paywall, either pay up for permenant (whilst season lasts) access, or rent the damn thing for a day max , its straight up disrespectful lol

[scenic nova]

fr

[spring helm]

Reading the newest dev update they don’t care how we felt about taking our tix. Seeing now that there’s a premium + pass they want more money and they didn’t want us to use our existing tixs. It’s funny too that they said oh season 3 there will be even more tix?! If you would have let us keep our tix we wouldn’t need more tix 🤷🏼‍♀️

[solid hamlet]

Why does this sound familiar 🤔

[lusty hound]

there goes 85% of the players

[quaint mason]

So they say they listen to the player base? well listen up devs, reverse this nonsense now

[hasty matrix]

Oh wow you people are actually evil, no way you went back on your no paywall promises and put that garbage tutorial island behind the skate pass…

[zenith condor]

What about players who dont have 300k rip chips? You expect us to grind all day everyday on the same missions to catch up?

[fading surge]

Tbh I've been defending it saying it will be good later but ts is outrageous

[craggy arrow]

Yeah I uninstalled a long time ago

[true basin]

what's the point? you can't even use the money excuse, it's just gating it behind something for literally no reason

[pine wave]

Mmm lemme spend my rip chips to access somewhere that should just be part of the map 😍

[swift coyote]

I was thinking that it was general access for all after May so I thought it was just time-gated. But I go back and re-read and no, even then you have to pay 500 rip chips for a day-pass. Really? It can't just be accessible to everyone for free? It's not even a new map or anything it's just the tutorial island with what looks like 1 extra hillbomb

[latent orchid]

Imagine Jeff every day having to report back to the studio what the general sentiment is in the community.

Every day Jeff’s morning video meeting is just “Guys, they’re mad.”

[true drum]

[chrome wind]

It’s hard to witness the steam db only showing 1.2-3k players on this game peaking over the past few days/weeks, since there’s so much potential. (And yes I know Steam db doesnt account Sony, Microsoft, etc). It’s fallen so much from launch, peaking at 100k+ for the first few days/week or two.

I’m hopeful that there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel, once whoever’s making these calls lately realizes the most of the community is against it.

[placid anchor]

wait fr??

[scenic nova]

yup

[chilly shale]

I wish I could actually read this convo but it’s being deleted in real time

[ornate silo]

on paywalling a cool map 😄

[delicate adder]

The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

[lapis wharf]

and they all laugh like it's fun and games when they're genuinely ruining this game

[limpid zenith]

unironically I thought I was hallucinating when I looked for the sticker and couldn't find it earlier. I even went into the search tab to try and find it and it was just GONE. this is an absolute JOKE of a situation and I don't think i've ever felt second hand embarrassment for a company EVER.

[solid flower]

dont laugh.. its not an impossible scenario given the current track record

[velvet geode]

And you have to use 500 of those for 24 hour access everytime you wanna go there unlike prem members who get unlimited access at all times.

[pulsar night]

It's an evolution of micro transactions

[stark compass]

They offer 15 rip chips a day, and want you to spend 500 for 24 hour access? Dead game

[upbeat swallow]

S4 will introduce paying rip chips to stand on your board
