general-discussion

[summer creek]

Ik you don’t make the changes obviously but if they charged less for items more things would be bought just sayinnnnn. More likely to buy 50 $1 (good quality) items than 1 $20 bundle. Just something to possibly bring to their attention🕺🏻

I mean we’re talking digital items it’s not like there’s production cost

Also while I’m here tell them to let us trade rip chips for svb. 100 rip chips = 1 svb. Still need to grind but not unreasonable

[jagged sequoia]

The only way I'm spending money on this game is if they promise to refund it if the game doesnt last the year 🤣

[austere torrent]

The basic clothing ( unbranded stuff ) should be with Rip chips no? cuz having to pay +- 3 to 5 usd for a plain white t-shirt in my opinion is just insane ( it's an example ) , much better stuff that you can spend your money on, and i think that's probably one of the main problems atm

[jaunty wharf]

remember: you don't have to play this game lol. I quit a few months ago when it was clear what this was gonna be. Has only gotten worse, naturally. I keep checking back in in hopes things are getting better but here we are. Enjoy it if you enjoy it, do your thing, but go play skate 3 or pick up session or just go outside if you've been bummed since last summer like I have lol, it's not worth it

[hollow hazel]

We love vague blog posts

[idle tartan]

really? no production cost? they just appear from thin air do they?

[tawny bolt]

I’m really curious about who’s leaving the Full Circle team. I just hope these changes don’t make things worse, especially since the game is already in a rough spot. I really hope they focus on smarter revenue options instead of heavy microtransactions and locking maps behind a paywall.

[ebon lake]

they should address paywall thing asap
with actual human talking on a video

[stable gate]

i've been supporting the game since day one and really hope to continue playing and being able to do so, but you guys should probably just make the isle of grom area coming in a couple weeks available for everyone, forever. paid/time-gated content, especially new places to skate, is always going to be received as anti-consumer. i'll be paying for the season 3 pass either way but its very easy to understand why so many people are pissed off about that.

[digital schooner]

It does feel odd we almost never hear these changes from devs themselves just infographics

[true coral]

Game is definitely on the way out. It was fun yelling into the void while it lasted. I wont forget pre-release when the game was actually good

[timid wagon]

Especially compared to how much they were on camera in the board room-era

[worthy moss]

How long until I can post more than one message every 5 minutes 😭

[formal lintel]

I think Jeffreys confirmed this would be happening or that there would be a Q+A with devs @dull pilot

[eternal zenith]

I hate to sound negative, but looking at EA currently, they are probably doing this specifically to pivot to more AI integration into production. EA Football Club just announced that all the play by play announcements going forward will be AI

it's going to get worse before it gets better, and I mean the entire video game industry

[coarse moss]

I'd so much rather have this than weekly grinds, maybe a monthly team video on the EA Skate channel, discussions and actual communication about what to look forward to, what is coming soon and what plans are on the way. Like the earlier board rooms.

[dark obsidian]

Good thing there's no story mode in the game that would require AI voiceovers

[dull pilot]

i have not confirmed that.

[summer creek]

I’m talking about in the sense that you don’t have to make a physical shirt in the factory etc. also I meannnnn most things are copy and paste with just different colors so pretty much yes. Also very suspicious about ai use for the art in this game. So no production cost and low design cost

[stray elk]

Yall im not saying it’s a bad change, I’m saying the timing of it feels intentional because they knew no one would spend money on the premium pass

[tiny prism]

Real, it's cool to see what the community is doing and all but I wanna see what the devs are actively doing and planning, I wanna see where the game is going
Right now we hear almost nothing

[tawny bolt]

200+ items always available sounds way better than the FOMO merch feed system.
I just hope I didn’t already buy too much stuff and that there’ll still be fresh, quality pieces worth grabbing in there. As long as they keep rotating brands and adding real heat (not just recycled basics), it could be a W for S3 .

[idle tartan]

so no costs apart from the hundreds of thousands of dollars in salaries for designers and developers 👌

[hardy bridge]

Cutting team members won’t make anything move faster or make new ideas come around faster

Hello

[candid grotto]

Sad week for Skate fans

[severe estuary]

just saw the latest update, am i right in presuming there were big layoffs? need to know so ik if i gotta bite the bullet and buy session LOL

[silk hemlock]

Anyone else completely buy everything from the Spring Pop Off event like a fool, and then completed all challenges and weekly challenges, and now short currency to buy the jean jacket??

[stiff sequoia]

They should do it like marvel rivals every season. A dev sits down and just talks

[eternal zenith]

it certainly looks that way right now.
Session is cool. If you like skating games it's worth checking out

[eager spear]

Genuinely hongry for a Cheeseburger... 🍔

[dull pilot]

hmm. that shouldn't happen. I bought everything in the Pop-Off line and was able to get everything yesterday + the cutoff denim jacket.

[placid anchor]

🥺

[frigid elbow]

Lmao they listened to one point and ignored 1,000 other more important points the community has been asking for since before launch. And it's pretty convenient that the ONE point they listened to involved the store where they make all their money from?

[gray stream]

This. It's like the vibe of the game changed completely between early tests and now. It feels even more souless and corporate, the complete opposite of how a game about skateboarding should be. And that's before you even mention AI...

[night crane]

Full circle dont shut down i need 11k rip score trophy for the platinum 😭🙏

[craggy gate]

I dont think the mood for this game could be much lower at this point

[iron mica]

Pls

[weary pewter]

It’s ea it’ll prob get lower soon

[agile copper]

Okay. I’ll give you a scenario.

You have two options:

1. the team listens to one point amidst many others and focuses on fulfilling and implementing a community requested change, even though there are still other things to fix/implement

2. the team doesn’t listen to any community requests at all

Which would you rather have?
-# And remember, there’s no third option here. Just these two choices. So don’t reply with, “I would rather have a secret third option!” Because it doesn’t exist.

[coarse moss]

They got Dize to upload y'all know it's serious then

[cosmic oar]

I choose the 3rd option

[formal lintel]

The optics of option 1 are just not good when its been the perception since day 1 that their priority is the store

[glass grotto]

It's something.

[vale oak]

Ive seen it in many games I loved, once teams start to downsize its the beginning of the end.

[stuck hare]

the secret 3rd option they chose was implementing 1 user requested feature and actively doing the opposite of the other request

[silk hemlock]

I'm rebooting now, but sadly I am at 600 something currency, and with all the free currency for next week I still won't have enough

[earnest spruce]

Would be a dream if this "new team" rolled back the bad decisions and this game started to regrow its development like a golden age 😍

[iron mica]

I’m with our chief geeker on this one, option 3 sounds the best. Blues are slowmowed now. I hit blue for us to lose privileges.., how will we have our in depth debates on how to improve the game now? ! Revolt!

[modern hedge]

yo session feels so stange after playing skate lol, feels like switch pushing

[jagged sequoia]

Cannot believe EA are making me have to relearn sessions control scheme 😭

[brisk jetty]

Burt blaze didn’t save the day 😯

[agile copper]

@cosmic oar @iron mica
I’m also for option 3, but it just doesn’t exist.😕
I wish it did as much as you guys do

[pulsar sonnet]

Damn each day getting worse for ts bro😢

[frigid elbow]

I think the only thing that could save this game and bring back a bit of it's credibility would be a Dev announcement saying "We are sorry we lied. We really messed up. We are no longer putting Tutorial Island behind a paywall. On March 10th it will be open to everyone! From now on we are listening to player feedback and we are excited for what awaits you in Season 3!"

[cosmic oar]

sigh... time to boot up bloons tower defense

[cinder field]

“Also, the tix change we announced will happen but after season 3. Next rollover will be what you’ve been expecting since December”

But no, never gonna happen.

[kind turtle]

Which one? Damn I forgot 5 minute cooldown

[earnest spruce]

I felt that playing skate 3 was harder after playing Skate., Skate. seems simplified, on the physics side and on the control of the skate, like if the grinding system has magnets (even with assist off) and the physics helps you too much making you staying on the ground or pushing you to the walls

[olive torrent]

dang, on oranges too? what about blues

[craggy gate]

Why spend money on a game when we don't know if it will survive until next year?

[iron mica]

Not waiting until season 3 is just blatant crime. To me, that is the easiest win. Just say it starts season 3….

[vestal turtle]

Fries tastes so good with some cheeseburger

Is there an easy way to play skate 3 or 2 on PC?

[dark obsidian]

pretty sure they're on the Xbox store, there's awlays emulation too

[rocky mulch]

RIP Skate

[eternal zenith]

3 yes, 2 is pretty broken
And you need a pretty fast CPU to make it work properly

[formal lintel]

I dont think we're allowed to talk about playing the older skate games instead of this one

[hollow hazel]

Even purples

[agile copper]

Even on purples. Everyone

@hollow hazel Jinx

[dull pilot]

the only official way to play Skate 1 or Skate 3 on PC (that can be discussed in this server without resulting in moderation) is through Xbox Cloud via Xbox Game Pass.

[silk hemlock]

Is there anyway I can contact EA support for this Spring Pop Off Currency??

[crude raven]

Anyone know any speed glitches?

[earnest spruce]

Yes but we are not able to discuss it here
Also EA should make a Skate 3 remaster or something

[novel whale]

Have decent internet speed since it's cloud gaming. Don't remember if it's Game Pass Ultimate or not.

[craggy gate]

Soon those will be all we have

[modern hedge]

do i need an xbox for that or nah, I had 3 on my 360/xbox live yearssss ago and i dont have any form of xbox anymore

[dull pilot]

you don't need an Xbox. i play Skate 3 on my phone through the Xbox Cloud app.

[candid grotto]

Does this mean I still need to own a console since it's an xbox cloud thing? ( nvm ^ )

[modern radish]

Yes

[dull pilot]

you totally can talk about the older titles - just not unofficial emulation (as noted in the rules)

[eternal zenith]

yeah I think that game streaming is Ultimate tier only but it works on console or PC

[olive torrent]

i wonder if they run on original hardware in the cloud

I can see why they didn't officially respond to the feedback regarding tix exchange or isle of Grom.
"Should we respond? Oh nvm, we're announcing this tomorrow" 💀

[modern hedge]

ahh wait you need xbox game pass for this though right?

[umbral comet]

what a crap week for skating games. This news and Session looking grim with Nacon's business. Ooof

[dull pilot]

yeah, Xbox Cloud requires Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

but you get a ton of PC and console games.

[kind turtle]

You can buy gamepass ultimate without needing an Xbox. It’ll also come with pc game pass too if that means anything.l to you.

[dull pilot]

@chrome sinew add any ascii symbol to your steam display name and it changes the font. i used ❥
https://tenor.com/view/azad-gif-8209328749288042945

Paying for a spot on the isle of grom kinda wild, no ?

[eternal zenith]

different icons on either side of your steam name will change the font in game so like ✞Example✞ or ✪Example✪

I think these are the only 2 that work? but I'm not sure

Edit: oh noraslide explained it much better

[dire fjord]

They said in a dev video and the website that a hard rule was no paywall. They took it down from the website.

they also removed the sticker of said qoute from this server

Had anyone figured out if EA players could do something similar to the tweaked in-game names like steam is able to? @brazen sage Lets be real, I am certain there 'is' a way to do so, but has anyone actually found out how ?

[bronze sequoia]

You can check the latest upload from dize on youtube, uploaded yesterday. I think we will get a lot more videos like that one

[true raft]

already seen some spin this as normal becuase thats what happens after games are created, entirely forgetting the fact this one is still in development, early access, unfinished and unpolished with an incomplete map and missing some basic modes and features lol

[gray steppe]

Seems about right anyway since its speculative measurements as the idea. 7in intervals of height vs 6. I chose board size since it doesn't change based on character height in this game

[gritty pond]

How do I report harassment?

[earnest spruce]

enforcing moderation is not harassment. to avoid moderation, follow the #rules

I think the best course of action is for some of the actual devs at full circle do another Q&A video or live Q&A, the trust is dead. It's up to them to gain it back

Will we get info on Brickswich during season 2? The Grind Vol 6 said we would get info on it during season 2 @dull pilot

[mental bough]

I don’t think a live Q&A is gonna solve any of that I mean words are meaningless here we need to see some action lol the best course of action is to walk back tutorial island subway pass immediately

[dull pilot]

Since S2, the team has added some stuff in Bricks - like missions, challenges. it's not open yet. as it gets closer to opening up, we'll have a bunch of info (and those bus stops will be opened.)

[brazen sage]

https://tenor.com/view/quentin-coldwater-the-magicians-jason-ralph-taylor-swift-guilty-pleasure-gif-7880132

[forest flower]

It’s not like they’re going to turn this game into something completely different. The foundations and walls are already in place...

A specific concept was chosen, certain decisions were made - and these are the results. What difference would one or two Q&A videos even make?

[pulsar sonnet]

Live Q&A holds them accountable, gives us the opportunity to ask questions they can't avoid - their old YT Q&As missed 99% of the communities concerns @forest flower But I agree also that they should just do better

[earnest spruce]

I think graphical settings to make the game like the old skate titles would be cool. Like Skate 1 graphical settings, Skate 2 graphical preset, etc. Not just changing the filter

It makes sense considering this game is the "ultimate definitive Skate"

[eternal zenith]

I think that was a valid observation. If the Q&A says something that then changes, the Q&A loses its value retroactively. Maybe those changes are why they avoid doing such presentations now. I'm sure it sucks to make a promise as a developer and then have your publisher change that promise and make the team look bad

[kind turtle]

What’s everyone’s favorite Pokemon? Mine is Slowpoke. I love that dopey fella.

[wise quail]

Everytime they drop more news it’s a decision that alienates and pisses off the majority of the audience. It would b pretty mean for EA to wheel them out on camera to dodge a proverbial minefield after their colleagues just all got fired

[lucid crag]

guys, you have to understand the difference between "lying" and unfortunately having to pivot. full circle wants one thing, but ea wants another. they obviously didn't want any maps behind a paywall, but if we want this game to survive while we watch the player count go down, they have to start making more money from it. initially they probably thought they could do so on cosmetics, but they quickly learned that wasn't enough. so putting access to the new map behind the premium pass is one solution. and reducing their staff is another. it is what it is. that's the unfortunate state. if you like the game and want to see it keep going, pay $20 every three months for the pass. or just skate the same map for free. that's up to you.

[raven fulcrum]

Unfortunately I do think that this is probably the final nail in the coffin. It's not like the community didn't try to warn the devs VERY early on about the need to change course to make the game appealing to the core Skate playerbase, but there was likely pressure from EA themselves to "shake things up" art style wise. And now ironically those same execs are firing people for a lack of results due to decisions that THEY made. So unfortunate.

Do you know what makes money?

Making a good game and selling it.

Instead, they chose to make an unfinished game and not sell it.

They just gave it away and hoped people would pay $10 for shoes that arnt real.

Maybe not quite the final nail, but really close to it. Maybe if they actually listened to community feedback from the start instead of making more and more continual anti-player decisions every update it wouldn't have gotten to this point. Or better yet, they'd be making killer money if they actually went ahead and made a proper real skate successor (since I can't call it 4 or the auto mod prevents this message from being sent), full price game with realistic graphics, lots of missions with different types, a big varied map with pro skaters and a story like everyone wanted, without paywalled outfits and ai slop.

[bronze sequoia]

Games been in development since 2020 and now they are laying off devs. Do you guys think this is its final form?

[brisk jetty]

Was this change for the better of the game or was it money driven?

[gray steppe]

its either maintenance mode or we see big revamps incoming
They're definitely working on a new long-term plan for the title/game.

[solid hamlet]

Why did the slowdown timer come back even for ranked individuals?

[gusty sandal]

This might not even be half-form

[wicked gale]

I don't know if I want to see the final form lol, it's just been getting worse and worse. Ironically the earliest playtest builds were way more fun than what we have now

[raven fulcrum]

Big revamps require staff, and they are instead cutting them

Maaaaybe the staff that was dropped were the mobile port team and they can focus on a better console experience with less tech limitations now?

That's my cope of the day thanks for reading

[spiral talon]

if this means new dev team (and they're bringing in new devs) , at this point , there is no down side . this is actually great for us . new perspectives and new devs that have a different outlook on the game and how to improve it .

[gritty lake]

All I took from the announcement is "EA have noticed dwindling playerbase and negative reviews, so we are firing some of the team at Full Circle, but don't worry, Ai will do their job for less money".......I really hope im wrong

[stray elk]

Jeff they are fighting about you on twitter. They saying you ban anyone😭😭

[earnest spruce]

I wish...

[gray steppe]

Sometimes there are people holding things back for producing better content (or content faster).

It's not always hire more people = better for productivity & quality game. Sometimes its so bloated to the point where nobody is held accountable. Deadlines not being met, these are all things you'd need to see what the day to day of the studio is like to know for certain. Quality > quantity when it comes to these kind of projects in my experience.

I'm leaning towards feeling that there was a lot of things/people maybe not up to par for what the game really needs, and thus were cut. Sometimes you have the right people but in the wrong roles, or just straight up the wrong people for the job.

Only time will tell whats in store for the future of the game.

[agile copper]

That’s funny considering Jeff isn’t the mod lead. People just be arguing about stuff. Checks out

[dull pilot]

[dull pilot]

that's the plan. and the S3 blog next Thursday.

[eternal zenith]

It's possible. Honestly we'll never know unless there's a behind the scenes tell all at some point. We are just speculating.

I think what happens with S3 and S4 will basically confirm or deny the theory. I love the game and still play, that's why I'm in this discord at all discussing these things. I'm passionate about skate. But yeah I'm definitely more worried about the games future than ever before.

[gray steppe]

@dull pilot Did you get to get to see or witness anything similar to today's announcement of "reshaping the team" with the BattleField team while a part of that? No problem if you can't answer or rather not get into it.

[sick cosmos]

[earnest spruce]

They are attacking Jeff posting personal pics and all, these people are mentally ill

[stray elk]

Ya It’s weird

[kind turtle]

@dull pilot I’ve always wondered, are you the only community manager for full circle/skate. or are there others who handle the stuff like the twitter and YouTube accounts?

[dire fjord]

it is twitter after all

[spiral talon]

with u on this . my worry is how the announcement was worded . if they JUST fired team members and the team has been narrowed down then im worried more now . but if they laid off members and new devs are being recruited , and just not being mentioned , then i have more faith now than ever for this game . odds are that if they are getting new folks , these new devs know more of what the community wants , know more about developing a good skate game , and have fresh perspectives and mindsets to the idea of how the game should be .

[full narwhal]

this community needs to chill out sometimes man.

game hasn't gone the way you'd hope, great... go outside, breath, like do anything productive. there's more important things in life than skate.

it's insane some peoples attitudes.

[ivory parrot]

We do not have the tech for double XP

[eternal zenith]

I checked the fullcircle website and they have removed all the job listings. they do not seem to be replacing staff at this time. But like I coped earlier, maybe it was the mobile port team that was cut down and they still have a strong core staff group

[gray steppe]

You just don't get it man. I paid $0.00 for this game, I deserve better!!! (sarcasm)

Time to boot up skate, catch you guys later o7

[bronze sequoia]

Could part of the layoffs be because EA wants more ai and less artists? Just a thought 🤔

Yeah its sad, really disgusting

[white meteor]

I am so incredibly dumb and naive, I legitimately thought the statement would be an apology for going back on their word and putting maps behind paywalls.

Instead it was ea slashing the dev team of an "in development" game. I laughed out loud at how absurd the situation was.

LOL they increased the timer to 5 whole minutes, ridiculous

[iron knoll]

uh oh the return of tommy but this time "angry tommy"

[eternal zenith]

hell yeah PT, your recent intros have been really funny. keep it up bro always enjoy your vids

[latent orchid]

You know watching one of those board room videos and one of the team members said they were assigned to be in charge of (some department I don’t remember). I def think it’s likely they mismanaged the tasks to the wrong people.

[drowsy frigate]

I personally think it’s really weird for them to even drop an announcement like they did today. Incredibly vague with almost no real information, I don’t see how it does anything other than stew speculation and cause worry for their more dedicated members of the fanbase that keep up with the updates. Especially after these controversial and disappointing last few weeks for the game and community.
What are your guys thoughts? I personally would have rather they just wait and tell us more substantial and relevant information than what feels like a drama-creating post.

Also: it is 1000% fair to criticize a free-to-play game for whatever faults it may have. Just because something is free, doesn’t make it suddenly unable to be analyzed and critiqued, nor is it dumb to. It is also important to understand the studio decided the structure entirely on their own, while ignoring that a lot of people would I’m sure still much rather pay outright for a game than have a free one with riddled with micro-transactions and various small issues. Can’t believe people are still trying to argue “it’s free, don’t get your panties in a twist” for this game

[viral solstice]

Darth Tommy.. Jk. I want what’s best for the community is all.

[agile copper]

Don’t we all. Don’t we all.😔

[eternal zenith]

tbh the announcement today reads as very cold and corporate compared to the usualy full cirlce post. I think it was written by someone from EA and not the actual team, and I also think they might be legally obligated to publicly announce such things.

I agree it just causes speculation and uncertainty. And the people here discussing it are the most passionate community members of all, not just "haters" like I see claimed sometimes. We are upset because we love the game and want it to be great. sad times

[cinder field]

This is a possibility. I don’t think so, but I hope you’re right.

They'd be better to just lay them all off and hire anyone aged 12 - 30 at the local skate park lol

[low berry]

wasnt worth trying to follow

check ea skate blog

[gritty lake]

Considering the amount of features currently still sitting in the "in discussion/on the radar" section. It's absolutely ludicrous to be laying people off. This isn't about "trimming the fat" to be more efficient. It's a cost cutting exercise for sure.

[eternal zenith]

I think this is a legal requirement because EA is a publicly traded company? not entirely sure though

[viral solstice]

Well in case yall don’t know this and I truly don’t care what mods here think or anyone for that matter. You all are my community. And when the “Player Council” speaks on things, we do it as players and with OUR whole community in mind. Regardless of what the end result is. What upsets you, upsets us.

[latent orchid]

We will all find out sooner or later. Either the changes were made to change course (to more align with what the player base wants) or to better line EA’s pockets.

Personally I think if it’s the former it still ends up lining EA’s pockets.

[lavish aspen]

@dull pilot do you have an answer to this?

[cinder field]

Yeah but also: making it a paid game does not mean it won’t have mtx.
I bought shredders this weekend and it has “pay to unlock” all over the place. Every game has it. It’s very naive to think a paid skate game in this day and age wouldn’t have those tactics.

[pallid drift]

@lavish aspen I have like 800 of them leftover. Did you do all your Pop-Off Tasks and complete all the challenges? How many do you have left to go

[brazen sage]

https://tenor.com/view/cute-dog-skateboard-gif-14120799

[wise quail]

Even if it’s not unusual or every game has it. It didn’t work. Because they obviously haven’t made enough money from it. It was a bad business decision whichever way u look at it

[iron knoll]

[upbeat frigate]

layoffs should never be the answer when the ceo could easily take a pay cut

[hollow hazel]

Omg a potato

[latent orchid]

I don’t even mind mtx in paid games, if it’s worth it. Hell, we all paid for DLC maps in skate 2 and 3. I’d happily pay for maps in this game if it meant the game would be successful long term. Mtx doesn’t automatically mean evil.

Even going forward, I would happily pay for maps every season if it meant we got new maps every season. One of the reason the Grom thing stung (aside the obvious change from saying they’d never paywall maps) is because the game has been out for 7 months and they’re just now adding to the map, and it’s an area we’ve already skated.

[earnest spruce]

Season 3 leak: Skating companions

First companions:

• Vee, she doesn't have legs but she skates hovering the deck
• A shiwawa
• Jeff

[cinder field]

A lot of bad decisions are being made and have been made. But I don’t think making it F2P was necessarily one of them.

[drowsy frigate]

For real appreciate everybody that can directly share any of this stuff with people that have the control over it. I mentally gave up after what felt like screaming into a void during the early and then later playtests.

@cinder field I understand and agree with what you are saying, and here is mine and everybody else’s argument: Rid the games of the mtx entirely. Scrap them all! Nobody likes them.
Is that naive, to think that greedy corporate interests won’t trump artistic integrity and consumer satisfaction? Sure, and I am not disillusioned about that. But that doesn’t mean that I will shut up just because that’s the way things are, nor should anyone else.

Imagine if everybody in the player council accepted defeat and sighed saying, it’s naive to think my opinions will have any sway. That would suck

[scenic gull]

I am so scared. What a bizarre day to come home from work. Work blocks discord. I just came home and am trying to catch up. It is overwhelming

[cinder field]

Sure you can object to mtx but like @latent orchid said, if the game is good, dlc is fine imo.

But my point was: saying the game would automatically be better and not riddled with mtx is a fantasy. And paid game vs f2p with mtx is a false dichotomy. That’s all.

a small, tiny part of my brain wishes that they introduce an offline mode before , god forbid, the game shuts down, and let the modding community take care of it from there.

[rare ether]

I wish the devs wouldn’t try and soften every blow with PR language to make every decision sound positive instead of actually being honest. layoffs described as restructuring and every form of bad news spun as good news in some way: It feels disingenuous.

I know in this case it’s EA but it’s in every dev blog and roadmap, things being silently put in “discussion” or “and beyond” and saying things change, and spinning every decision into a positive like the removing the peach pants from the store and acting like it was a positive.

this game was advertised on listening to the fans so when the fans have to read through the lines to get every piece of information is the opposite of listening, even if they can’t add what people want they should at least be honest about decisions and why they make them even if the answer is just they need to make the pass have more value for example

Where did you hear this ?

[gray steppe]

Have you ever considered the nonstop negative criticism/dooming about every single game dev choice across all forums/discord/anywhere you see skate., could've been the reason for this happening? 🤣 🤣
Chronic complaining from players is not a good look for the higher-ups / people working on the game / shareholders. People are addicted to outrage though and being outraged.
(In no way was I suggesting on dunking on people who losing their job btw, but more so that the community very much was (and still is) unsatsified with the development team and product being delivered, but suddenly has sympathy for the people who delivered the product that generated all this outrage in the first place)

[acoustic bolt]

responding here?

[fallen haven]

Good guess but no the answer is growing up

[knotty slate]

I don’t think people are unsatisfied with the people working at full circle as much as they’re upset with the shareholders for demanding this game be Fortnite 2.0

[scenic gull]

HUH?? EA brought in Daniel Zeller? Are you sure. Seems like he wants to go his project

@gray fjord You just found out? I got home an hour ago and am still digesting

[dire fjord]

is it listening? actually no typing here seems a better fit

[glad wedge]

I think people complaining online is a drop in the bucket when it comes to whether or not this game was a success. They had over 15 million unique players in the first three weeks, if the game was good or their monetisation strategies were more effective, more of those players would've stuck around/helped the game succeed. People aren't as online as us nerdy discorders think

I do wonder just how much longer this game has before it shuts down now, will it last a whole year even?

[drowsy frigate]

one of the most frustrating things for me about this whole thing is Full Circle has constantly been operating as if transparency is their #1 value, while in reality we’ve been being toyed with the whole time.

EA, their influence on the trajectory of the game, as well as their bottom-line for what the structure of the game will look like, has been entirely absent from this “transparency”.
This is where the issues stem from, imo.

I understand it is a smaller team of developers that really does care about making this game a reality, but they’re succumbing to corporate pressures and pushing out product that feels like an unfair compromise at best. I’m sure they hate it themselves, too. I think at a certain point it’s a bit inexcusable to me. They know what’s going on, they know they’re having to lie to their playerbase every update, and they keep doing it anyway.

[timid wagon]

They were transparent when it was the stuff we wanted to hear

[hoary glen]

My thing is if it’s super close to shut down, when does ea stop promoting pass and letting people sink money in to the game. I know it’s our choice but a warning seems fair. And are they using season 3 as a Hail Mary

[rocky mulch]

Skate is gonna be shutdown half way through season 3

[acoustic bolt]

because... money

[chilly shale]

The higher ups only care about money. They don't care about what players have to say, especially the negative criticism.

Money coming in to our expectations? Great carry on.

Money trickling in at a snail pace? Sorry, pack your things.

[upbeat island]

[low berry]

hello

[worthy moss]

Am I going to waste my one message to say hello back? Yes, hi

[gray steppe]

hey b

[glad wedge]

this game had one shot at a first impression and going early access with a focus on monetisation strategies so early was just not it, even ignoring the design issues. I kind of assume they had pressure from higher ups, maybe with the saudi deal looming they were worried it'd be cancelled or something, but yeah even with this live service model it should've at least been feature complete on it's first public release. A live service game is a hard sell on it's own, let alone one that is nowhere near done

[latent orchid]

“If the game was good players would have stuck around.”

that’s why I will be on the optimistic side from today’s news until we hear otherwise.

The game is just that great currently. It can relatively easily become great, but it’s clear there have been decision makers along the way that simply do not align with what players want. I don’t think that’s really debatable.

We will just have to wait and see to find out if the changes today were to make the game more aligned with player wants, or to milk whatever players remain.

no, that's wholly incorrect. plenty of negative constructive feedback is here - and always welcome.
however, discussing moderation will result in a timeout. (the #rules are super easy to follow, and will be enforced).

the Spring Pop-Off ends next Tuesday, and we'll have ImpervaTEK parks until the first event in S3.

[trim flume]

No hope for modders ? Will the game be saved in the future

[acoustic bolt]

i know its not you, but the man said "test #2 to see if i get banned", how the heck does that count as "discussing moderation". no moderation has yet to happen. can we just not talk about moderation at all?

[dull pilot]

can we just not talk about moderation at all?
no, you cannot. #rules as mentioned dozens of times today.

[brisk jetty]

The game has potential to be very popular, this was proved on launch

Great ideas are shared here every day, if only they were considered / acknowledged

Is Brickswich coming in season 4? I bet that would turn sentiment around quickly 👍

[worthy moss]

Even if they said yes... plans change 💀

[scenic gull]

People bring up steam players, please let me finish sentence. Everyone says Games peak day 1 then slowly fall off

BUT!!! Skate NEVER peaked day 1! Skate was actually increasing their player base everyday past the previous day since day 1 before finally falling off

[teal spire]

What does the weekly grind do? Overslept?

[ancient knot]

Bruh.

[fallow plinth]

there isn't going to be a season 4 brother man

[gray fjord]

I wish other skateboarding games with a replay editor had the goofy cosmetics of skate. honestly, like I'm gonna miss my space man and grim reaper outfit in this game the most, because other skateboarding games have great grounded clothing and customisation and if I wanna skate and record tricks I can do it in those games, but they almost never have the fun and goofy customisation stuff, it's an unpopular opinion I'm sure but I like swapping between grounded appearence and goofy appearence and I'd love to do it in more games

[atomic ruin]

Weekly grind? bro I call it a day job 💯

[acoustic bolt]

Now that I’m orange does that mean no more 2 minute timer (once the 5 minute timer goes away)? 🙏

thanks for the confirmation. Can’t wait to diarrhea spam text the chat 😂

[scenic gull]

How much did you spend? I am a deluxe founder so that is 50 USD. Then, I bought the season 1 ending pack that had pants , a few decks for 5 USD ,

Yes, @latent orchid, once we got back to normalcy of course

[chilly shale]

yeah, never a good feeling.

[rocky mulch]

I knew something was up, didn’t spend a dine on this

Why exactly is there a 5 minute timer to type? Trying to kill the discord too

[uneven parrot]

so is Full Circle getting smaller? cause it reads like a post before the imminent shut down and that's kinda bogus

[tiny prism]

Some people are getting laid off
We don't know how many
Communication on this game remains extremely vague

[acoustic bolt]

both reddits are looking extra spicy today 🥲

[gray fjord]

Well, I'll see y'all at the next season launch, paying 11 bucks for an island

[dry shuttle]

That post… telling us they LOST that many players… and yet still not trying to save it with things the actual players want… skate shoulda been the easiest cash cow for them… it’s honestly impressive they fumbled something that has such a easy and clear blueprint of success……

[atomic ruin]

is the ferry currency the same as the box opening one?

the pressure of the 5 min timer got to me 🫣

[scenic gull]

Wait what… what post did full circle admit to player loss. I missed that!

[chilly shale]

we know some portion of their team was laid off. Their roles and the things they worked on? Didn't say. That or they're bringing in new people to meet some metric EA needs them to meet? idk

I hope the people they keep are able to affordably run a game for a playerbase of 10,000. 🙁

[scenic gull]

Wasting my five mins to say that I clicked that and no spoiler was unveiled/:

[zealous sky]

If the graphics wasn’t that goofy we had brickswitch and the tutorial Island without paying 4 it would change a lot bring more skate culture and ppl would actually pay 4 clothing and boards give us different board shapes instead of some furry emotes make some realistic parks and please put back the normal color of the market mile skate park makes me cry every single time I’m entering the park

[glad wedge]

this is a fun theory but nuts to just think skate wasn't simply EA trying to test the waters with a cheap-to-develop game that has a potentially high return being live service. Low commitment with a potentially high reward. The game was a lottery ticket

[obsidian hornet]

see that post is making me feel like skate gunna be the new ashes 😂

[scenic gull]

Wait there is a 5 min timer now? Since when?

[spice folio]

I can't think of another reason (besides trademark/copyright extension) they'd fumble an opportunity for long term profits like this. This game should be a lay up if the goal is profit over time. A consistent revenue stream seems preferable to a flash in the pan and then nothing. If they just wanted a quick profit and to not support a game long term they could have just made some shovelware and thrown it on steam then washed their hands of it. Even from a finance pov it doesn't make sense

[chilly shale]

true. i feel like this game is being marketed to people who are not the core skate1-3 audience.

[latent orchid]

They can easily make this game a huge success. Whether they want to or not remains to be seen. 🤞

[zealous sky]

They want a fortnight audience bro that game has nothing to do with skating anymore or the original skate games just the logo is skate no dirty clothes if I fall no broken bones no scratches no security try to kick me off from some areas everything is to clean

[glad wedge]

if you think about it from the perspective of MBA holding corporate weirdos, they wanted a slice of fortnite's revenue pie and saw skate and it's inbuilt fanbase/virality as an avenue to get there. It's dumb, and clearly wasn't going to work, but that's the rationale. Anyone with even slightly more of a finger on the pulse could've seen that this was not the strategy, but these types live in another reality

[chilly shale]

I think the 5 minute timer is backfiring. I've never seen such back-to-back intelligent conversations of criticism for this game since checks notes the creation of this server

There's no conspiracy, this has been the EA business model for years now. If you spent any amount of money on this scam project you're a rube who's just gonna keep falling for it again and again and again because the writing was on the wall from at LEAST the pre-alpha builds

[kind turtle]

[spice folio]

[brisk gulch]

Does anyone know anything about the new island that came out, the tutorial island? I heard that later on it would be free for everyone, is that true?

[red heart]

Saw something posted a few hours ago from FC. Besides it being cryptic and talking about staff, was there an actual thing or things going on with the state of things? A lot of things causing things to happen, -things.

[brazen sage]

it wasn't the nostalgia of it all, i've lived through and played enough EA games that i saw this coming well before launch. but when you play the game it's extremely obvious in parts of it that this was someone's passion project. some parts of the game are so good they made me want to support it even with all its flaws. maybe there's enough that someone will drag it out of this capitalist dungeon one day and just let us have a good game but i highly doubt it, seems like they're willing to let it die

[scenic gull]

LOL okay that gave me a chuckle amidst this chaos

Direct from the 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 Grom. After that, we'll be holding our official grand opening - inviting all of our San Van residents to the Isle for a very special multi- week event in April. With a new brand partner making their Grom debut, you won't want to miss it.

Once the event ends, Grom access will be widely available through skate.Pass Premium, or you can grab an Isle of Grom Water Taxi day pass by using your earnable Rip Chips. The day pass will be 500 Rip Chips, is valid for 24-hours from the moment you get it, and can be used an unlimited number of times within that 24-hour window."

[acoustic bolt]

@brisk gulch 500 ripchips for 24 hours on the island, ripchips are earnt doing objectives. season pass owners get free access
@red heart you missed.. nothing really, bunch of people got let off. thats it, normal bogus "we are listening" and stuff
@brazen sage i get that, i thought we had a chance aswell, i though FC would show a different side of the EA we have seen recently. i was wrong. the mechanics still feel great, and i feel bad for any of the devs/team who really worked hard on this game. but i will not support it

you get around 650 rip chips just for completing daily tasks. takes less than 5 minutes most days, 10 on a bad day. the island taxi fee is the least of our worries tbh, especially after today

[iron mica]

they should just make a mission, that once you complete it, the taxi is free and stop the complaining for regulars

this is my confession.

my personal opinion is that they havent really done anything correct in terms of post launch releases.. or even a suitable release in the first place

correct. because it was approved through multiple depts and .. it's our game.

that's not the strategy for the game.
one game continuously built upon is the plan.

[languid hull]

Why do I need to look at the future look at launch and now. I’ve 100% this game on Xbox and PlayStation. To say this game isn’t low in popularity is lying to yourself

[blazing horizon]

But it’s not low because of the concept of a game that’s always built upon, it’s low because it’s a skeleton of a game atm. Beyond me why they launched a multiplayer game without a padded multiplayer experience but here we are. An ever evolving online city skateboarding game sounds amazing, the Madden formula sounds worse

[fallen haven]

They be praying for a downfall tho

[brisk jetty]

I like the idea of yearly releases

Fresh new map, fresh new clothes, new challenges & story - if you don’t like the new one, can go back to an old one

On that note EA could keep supporting MTX in 2-3 at a time

This title has left a bad taste in many players mouth, I’m pretty hesitant to spend any more money after what we’ve seen - a new route would seperate those titles from this one in players minds (despite the money ending up in the same place)

[latent orchid]

I never really thought about a game like skate being a yearly game like sports titles. Most of those just have a roster change with very little depth changes year to year.

but now that I’m thinking about it it could be cool. Basically kind of what they’re doing now except each season would last a year, but they’d have to produce a huge new map every year. But they could make $70 per year just from the game, then mtx on top.

Ok I’m sold. I’m just going to keep typing because I wanna get my 5 minutes worth.

[hollow hazel]

Imagine if games only took a year to make lol

[acoustic bolt]

5 minutes worth

[languid hull]

I completely agree. It’s riding off of hopes and to be honest, that’s all I still play it for. A yearly release is ridiculous. I even think a mobile release is ridiculous. 2K can release every year and still be in the top 10 in consoles. Skate will never be able to release yearly

[tiny prism]

I can't think of anything more soulless than a yearly skateboarding game done like Madden or the like

[blazing horizon]

It’s never been explicitly said but I wonder if the idea is a map a year, it takes a lot of time and resources to build a map, I cannot see how they’d crank them out every other season ontop of other stuff, they would have had to double staff not reduce

[hollow flame]

even if thats the case, the game has to be attractive to the target group. besides the physics and the flick-it stuff, all the other games out there do a better job. graphics wise, value wise, sountrack wise, contentwise, basically everything wise besides the skating itself.
and thats a design choice, not by accident and i don't think thats a winning strategy.
yearly releases that build upon each other is better for the player - because you have to provide enough new content to make it worth the purchase while a life service game can drip-feed you content with a much much worse value for money.
take a look at dovetail games TrainSimWorld. They release a new map including fully simulated trains every year aswell and they are way smaller than EA is.

skate1-2-3 are all one year apart so its not out of the scope. every year just tweak some animations, add a new map, 1-2 new characters for the story and bingo bango easy money and the fans are happy

thank you Dyno bot

-# 5 MINUTES

[glass grotto]

the monkey's paw is gonna curl, dude. AI generated junk will plague stuff like that now

(it already does)

[latent orchid]

From what I know about developing yearly sports games (and it’s not a lot) the foundation is there year after year. They tweak things and improve things each season but it’s hardy like they are starting from scratch every year.

@blazing horizon a new map a year would be fine but for the love of the skate gods the next one can’t be as flat and boring as this one lol

[hollow hazel]

Skate 1 came out nearly 20 years ago, game development has changed drastically since then. Not only is a yearly release likely impossible it also would not satisfy everyone lol look at the flak fifa, madden and nba games get every year after a new game with nothing worthwhile added

[blazing horizon]

The skating itself is the most important tho, all the other aspects can be improved upon but no clue why they haven’t kicked that in gear, maybe that’s part of this change. But playing this then going to session or xl or even the beloved skate style just feels like going back a gen in skateboarding. So for this game to get thrown away is disheartening because it’s so good in the one aspect that matters most. The art style of the game is probably my biggest gripe, but I don’t know that could ever be rolled back as far into as they are. I feel like if they’d introduce brands 1/2 of the complaints would subside tbh lol at least for awhile, really dislike this 5 min cooldown, what else, umm also understanding how to pace a season, but I feel they’re figuring that out. Last 1/3rd of S2 was brutal and I feel set them up for the vitriol of rolling into S3 and missing the mark with Grom and the tix fiasco

[acoustic bolt]

really using that 5 minutes up

[fallen haven]

also how long would it even take to make that base game that can just be updated an pushed out every year , like 5 years minimum at this rate ?

[solid hamlet]

what do you mean? 2007 was just a few years ago 🧓

-# I don't have gif powers to do that one Saving Private Ryan one

[eternal zenith]

I do agree that the skating is the top priority and it is genuinely fun already. But there's also been weird changes over the past year (playtests included) that haven't necessarily felt like progression but rather stagnation
Like when S2 broke late flips altogether and they weren't fixed until S3

[spice folio]

So much good will would be regained if dev updates shut up about new stuff you could buy for like a month or two and were just "here is the gameplay stuff we're working on and prioritizing, here is when you're likely to see it" like don't bring up brands we can buy or shop and currency updates. What of the game is actually being worked on

[main ruin]

Anyone seen the full circle the post about the "restructuring" sounds like some people are getting fired and replaced with people to make the game even more transaction heavy, or atleast that's the way it comes off, as if they hole they have dug for themselves wasn't big enough already 😅😭

[gray steppe]

still waiting to get Christopher Big Black Boykin in the game

[winged finch]

Just part of the sunsetting processes, put the project on palliative care keeping it barely alive until the plug is pulled.

[blazing horizon]

I agree with a lot of that point but tbh there are a lot of people who do want brands introduced (me being one) I’d love them to bring in Toy Machine, but yeah they need to focus on rolling out features first and foremost. I know people hate hearing it but they gotta make money and bring in brands people love, people will pay for spitfire or zero, etc. there’s your money. Not paywalling Grom. It should be full steam ahead on S.K.A.T.E. And player created parks. Like shift whatever and get those two in motion

[fallen haven]

Wear all black in protest til we get em

[eternal zenith]

Real. At least a game of s.k.a.t.e. is finally on the roadmap but oh my god why didn't they at least confirm it earlier? And why did custom parks go from in development to "in discussion" when "collabo zones" were already beta tested?

I feel like the game is actively moving away from the ideas they already tested positively because of EA's strict monetization policies

And for the record, Full Circle removed all their hiring listings from their website so this isn't a replacement of staff, it's a downsizing

[open valve]

yeah its not like they have that already. they just need to add a new map, realistic textures, gritty art direction, single player so you can own the game and theyd secure 60bucks from me a year. they could even add hella micro transaction clothes, i dont care as long as its not advertised in the game. i wanted to buy a dlc map in session the other day and i had to exit the game and open the PS store, skate. couldnt dream of that

[quaint mason]

They gonna pull that well we didn’t have enough players or micro transactions and then some how blame the player base, I’ll bet money on it

[summer cargo]

i'm gonna be honest it feels like its taking way too long to develop what are very simple things, idk if its the developers or EA, but how does it even have to take months after months of work just for game of S.K.A.T.E? its kinda preposterous, if its really that hard to develop the game something is very wrong.

[spice folio]

You make money by making a game people want to sink money into. EA does not need us to crowd fund an open beta with hardly any gameplay. I have almost 300 hours in this game and I stopped doing any challenges like a week into season 2. I'm a clip farmer, but I know that's a minority play style. The actual game aside from base controls has been stale for months.

[low berry]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-at-you-gif-12296609

[gray steppe]

maybe a hot take but S.K.A.T.E in multiplayer in the previous versions just got really out of hand with relying on speed glitches to do 1080s/very hard to execute spins more than precision/knowledge of the trick pool.

I can't imagine it'll be fun or good here either.

[acoustic bolt]

i think its more of the fact that S.K.A.T.E is not in skate.

[delicate sequoia]

They take away all the fun glitches

[main ruin]

I feel like the last thing they should be doing is downsizing the game needs so much work, probably fired everyone who is not focused on monetizing the game further, watch them charge for games of skate of something smh, cant wait to see how much we will be spending to visit some skate 1 2 and 3 spots, or instead I could, you know play those games instead 🤣

[latent orchid]

In their announcement today they did say they want to work faster 🤞

[neat moat]

The game is in early access

[cunning goblet]

[hollow flame]

and it will never leave this phase.

[torn spear]

gg

[eternal zenith]

this. And we need to stay vocal about the important changes so when it does leave ea it might be a good game finally.
If we take all the bad news in stride then it won't ever correct

[worthy moss]

To me its understandable why people wouldnt like what it turned into in skate 3. Although I do feel like all of those problems could be fixed if it was remade. In skate 3 it was a pretty simple system and then just left to people for 15 years to find the absolute limits they could push it to.

[fallen haven]

I haven’t played skate 3 in over ten years

[rocky mulch]

Been in development for 5 years, going on 6. Lol

[acoustic bolt]

"early access". 1 (soon to be 2) premium passes that receive more work than the broken parts of the game.
the idea of "early access" is flawed here

[quaint brook]

EA really doing the thing they said they wouldn’t do huh

[eternal zenith]

Yeah the community around skate 3 got weird. I think it's cool that people found a new way to enjoy the game, but speed glitches and physics stuff became the thing for skate 3 content on tiktok and whatever.

I think it's difficult to balance the insane stuff for that crowd and also gameplay for the core skate audience. But they are even patching silly glitches that provide no competitive benefits so idk.

I think this game still has the potential to please both crowds. They just need to take a step back from monetization for a moment and focus on making people happy while playing. The money will come naturally after that

[summer cargo]

as a fan of dead space, D:

[thorny ivy]

in one week this game has become an absolute slop

[main ruin]

Seems like they spendt a year or 2 actually developing the game and the rest of the time, making cosmetics and creating fomo and way to get people to spend,spend,spend and seems like they are going out of their way to break every promise made 💸🤑🤑

[worthy moss]

If youre able to, you should definitely try it again now, its quite interesting to compare everything to skate dot. Probably would help you appreciate things in the new game that you didnt notice before as well.

So fun waiting 5 minutes to reply to one message 😭 Im still tryna get to level 30, never happening at this point

[gray steppe]

Probably not wrong tbh

[remote thunder]

If at least the cosmetic were good but most the cosmetic are so cringy , like even the emotes like the hell, why are they still not learning that nobody buys them , but they double down again and again

[delicate sequoia]

When do we get a story? To skate. beyond opening loot boxes?

[scarlet roost]

[haughty smelt]

damn more lay offs it seems like

[timid wagon]

Silly goose nobody plays single-player games in 2026!

[acoustic bolt]

its been about a month, and still, if you update your Nvidia drivers, you cannot see board stickers.

How can bugs like these be untouched for a whole month.

[cunning goblet]

Hope everyone having a somewhat decent day, currently at Universal Studios Japan

[hollow flame]

its just an excuse to fund the development of an unfinished game without any legal obligations to ever finish it. its like funding a kickstarter. back when this type of early access game development started, it still had some meaning - you had a direct connection to the devs, the game cost a fraction of its release price (and in most cases less than what an ingame pair of shoes in skate. costs), devs listened to the players feedback, you got special goodies (tags, references in the game credits, special editions etc.) - now compare that to this so called "early access".

[latent orchid]

So many say they should have just released a $70 game and they would have made more money blah blah. As much as I would have loved that, they wouldn’t. A live service can bring in so much more.

But they could have and still can make money from a live service by appealing to skate fans. Thats the maddening part. We would pay for real cosmetics instead of costumes. We would pay for real maps instead of ramps on skyscrapers. We would buy the skate pass if it had actual good stuff in it and not unbranded cartoon stickers. Ugh.

[main ruin]

Point is they said they wouldn't pay wall new maps

[olive grove]

Hi

[late hatch]

Am i crazy in thinking season 3 is when they should have released early access?

[gray steppe]

Bringing back the launch glitch (manual Tpose), hippie jump backflip would be a great thing to regain faith/trust in devs. Those glitches were so fun and didn't break the game in any meaningful ways. I looked at them like Quality of Life more than a game-breaking exploit / way to have unfair advantages.

[remote thunder]

Just give up and sell us the offline version of the game for like 50$ or whatever , the modders will save it and turn it into the game everyone wanted in just a few months, and on top of that people will be able to make modded maps for endless content , the devs clearly have no clue what they’re doing , let the community takeover and make this game what it was meant to be from the start , real gritty look , good items , story modes , better art style , etc etc

[acoustic bolt]

W option, but this is EA. skate. is their product, not ours.
we arent getting anything if this game fails, over the corps going "ahh, so they didnt want a new skate game, next franchise"

I've been waiting literal years if we include tests for some normal fit pants. I would have bought them for actual dolla bill but I can't justify it anymore

Sorry for my weird word choices but the message keeps getting blocked 😔 idk why

[split vapor]

SKATE 5 confirmed coming 7-11 omg i'm in tears 😭

[brisk jetty]

I think more $30 costumes would save the game

[worthy moss]

$30 too cheap! At least $35 like the dead space bundle that one sold so well

[latent orchid]

I get that, I do. But had they said from the start maps would be mtx, I think most people would have understood. We all bought maps for skate 2 and 3.

Even now, if they dropped legacy spots next season for whatever price, people would buy them.

It sucks they went back on their word about not paywalling maps. It is what it is at this point. Because I love the series I’d still pay for good maps even now. That’s something that’s worth it to me. The out of touch costumes are not.

[delicate sequoia]

Nah raise the rip chip box prices

[kind turtle]

Nah they should charge for a 24 hour pass for access to the shop

[chrome vapor]

They should’ve just listened to the fans instead of trying to chase that Fortnite money by releasing lame af cosmetics

[scenic gull]

Anybody know when milky streaming skate next? Bro hasn't streamed skate in like two weeks, used to be like almost daily. Kinda miss bro.

[gray steppe]

Being able to buy specific pieces of bundles for currency would be good. Like the current pack with the devil wings/mask, would be cool to just be able to buy the mask instead of a full bundle if you don't like the rest of pieces.
Being forced into buy a $20 package to get the desired item instead of $4 or $5 for the one piece you want is these days, standard, but lame practice to get you to spend more.
Then you consider its 2100 currency and not 2000 flat, little things like that add up.

[remote thunder]

Watch they’re gonna keep putting stupid costumes an cringy emotes in the shop , they are so out of touch they live in an alternate universe , nobody buys your emotes just STOP , don’t you see you’re not making money ?? Why don’t you start listening it’s not rocket science

[main ruin]

Those games were good to begin with tho, and the dlc added fresh good stuff and the point is that they didn't say that and are now breaking promises and personally no other love service games I know of do that? But admittedly I dont play many, I mean i would rather they focus on the map instead of costumes tho, but they are going about this stuff very wrong, very clear money is the goal and no the players or the playability of the "game"

[trim flume]

Modders would make this elite

[acoustic bolt]

EA is my proof that money makes people completely stupid.. like not jokefully, like a physical change to the body to make them do the dumbest choice possible instead of creating masterpieces

[eternal zenith]

This game made my brain swell up and I had a "pleasure seizure" from accessing the microscopic transactional features

[hollow flame]

doubt. this may work on casual games but not in the skate franchise. i'm still sitting on 1250 svb that i got for free because i don't see any value on the goods provided. i probably would buy the game for 70usd though. explain to me where the reoccurring payment will come from once i got my character to where i want it to be? i have a certain style in real life and once i got my char close enough i'll keep it that way. they would need to be ultra fast to implement new colorways or e.g. shoe types to make me buy it as a micro transaction. same goes for seasons - why should i pay for a limited time event? i much rather pay like 2,99 for the isle of grom as a DLC and keep it forever(or at least until the servers get shut down) instead of paying for overpriced seasons with emotes, clothes, pink rails or other useless stuff i never wear or use. life service is good if its well done and the genre fits this type of monetization but i honestly don't see any way this will work in the skate franchise on a long term.

[oblique holly]

Isle of Greed, more like

[gray steppe]

I really wonder what this discord looks like in a parallel universe where the game is well received and loved by all 🤣

[remote thunder]

They would have made 100 times more money if they sold the offline game and then sold map DLCs every couple months, but no we’re gonna keep making cringe emote and costume nobody want and then wonder why we’re not making money and have the game fail , lol and they’re not learning the keep doing the same mistake again and again totally oblivious studio I’ve never seen that in my life

[blazing horizon]

They should have any and all data as to what people buy so it would make sense if they adjust to producing most of what is bought, but profit margin on a devil mask is likely gonna be greater than a Sci-fi deck. But yeah can’t imagine a lot of people buy these emotes, then again I see people doing wild stuff with them in meetups

[raw pawn]

Any updates on the tutorial island stuff or are they stickin to their gut and paywallin it?

[latent orchid]

I’d love to see a spreadsheet of what has been bought from the shop. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen a single person doing a paid emote. Don’t know if I ever saw someone in that Isaac outfit either.

[split vapor]

y'all: begging for story mode

reality: we're already playing the most immersive story mode ever conceived, fighting against M-CORP outside the game while they deliberately try to destroy the game

this is lore 2.0 bros, absolute cinema 🔥

With the AI allegations they should call it "I Love Grok"

Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week

Dude this community is beyond cooked

[quaint mason]

This is the issue I was thinking about this today, back in the day you could buy a game for full price and play it whenever you wanted, you didn’t need to worry about the daily grind and if you don’t play everyday the game will just end and you can’t play it anymore. Fortnite has really messed things up

[scenic gull]

Hey, You, You're finally awake...

[main ruin]

Ea really sitting on their throne and telling us to eat our slop and enjoy it, maybe wash it down with a couple of fomo microtransactions (or you know a £21 bundle maybe cause that is what they consider to be "micro") and some water taxi trips to feel better,why improve the game at all when you can own a couple of overpriced branded shoes, that you could probably buy irl for cheaper, and to @scenic talon you must love your slop 🔥🔥

[timid wagon]

You also didn’t have to wait months to have something interesting to play. It was all just there from the jump

[obsidian hornet]

i presume all these layoffs mean more delays on gamemodes 😂

[snow swallow]

Nah its gourmet

[acoustic bolt]

ngl, atleast i'd have more fun if this happened, i think its that time of year

[ivory parrot]

Non zero chance of not getting games of skate in skate

Do you foresee this game having a community going forward was my point lol. Now I’m cooked for miss-wording my original comment lol

[delicate sequoia]

They got thrasher though

[quaint mason]

How in the world are they going to do more in less time with less people? Riddle me that.

[scenic gull]

We asked for pro skaters and it sounds like they may be teasing ZexyZek in game. They are listening.

so i guess all this wasn't just some half-asleep concoction of my imagination then?

time to rebuild some trust and good will back with the community it seems.. like maybe revert the tix changes and re-consider how we access Grom because this game is going to go down quicker than a leaky water taxi if nothing changes

[acoustic bolt]

ayy, it got through this time XD

edit: @trim flume probably not, they did technically deliver something

[worthy moss]

I dont understand why we ALL have to wait 5 mins to type, fix that

[main ruin]

I dont believe in throwing the baby out with the bath water...but, man, this baby is fugly.

@wraith snow woah how did yoh do that?!

[hollow flame]

They didn't like my question where the micro transaction for removing the 5min cooldown is. Maybe they like your idea more.

[snow swallow]

Only for you committed folk, I find it funny for us newbies getting a 5 min shh period 😂

[scenic talon]

What makes me mad is from a control/gameplay perspective this is far and away my favorite modern skate game. I understand it has to FTP even if I don’t like that I’ll cope. I love the game so much but they are just shooting it in the kneecap at every opportunity. It’s like wanting the best for your dumb friend who always makes bad decisions

[tame breach]

it doesn't matter how fast the chat can type we're still going to talk about the same thing.. controlling the timer isnt going to change the conversation, only thing going to do that is another announcement that undoes the last ones

[hollow hazel]

I feel like even if they reverted all the negative changes that no one asked for, they’ve done too much damage to the trust the community had. It was already split before the tix and layoffs and paid map, just gotten a whole lot worse in a space of like 2 weeks lol

[main ruin]

Thing is they made a bad change and then doubled down tenfold, they aint listening 😭🤣

I would’ve rather paid $100 for this game rather than this live service poop

[wraith snow]

I don’t think the damage is 100% permanent, but they would need to turn down the use of buzz words and show us the change instead of just saying it’s coming

Idk maybe a bad take but that’s just my lil opinion- I think there could still be some saving chances they can take

It amazes me there's people in the chat. I'm checking around after just reading the Full Circle update, and, sure thing, you guys are still trying to bond here. Respect. Might wanna share ideas and opinions on the Forums instead though, so they have more of a chance of not going to waste

[acoustic bolt]

in my eyes, there isnt alot that can save this game in my eyes. ill play it, but it will never get a penny from me, and i suggest the same for everyone

[scenic gull]

It's probably because people will troll/ragebait due to the announcement and they wanna avoid that

[neat moat]

[main ruin]

I'm pretty sure they dont read anything, I think the whole community everywhere is trying to get these latest actions taken back and they clearly dont wanna listen, by all means tho people should comment everywhere on their socials, so atleast we can say we tried

[hollow hazel]

No I agree w you, I’m tired of being told “we hear you” and “we’re listening” lol

[brisk jetty]

We have the bones for the best skateboarding game ever made

But Full Circle insist on making the meat a flaming temu evil knievel costume

Imagine if there was no cooldown, this server would probably be a dumpster fire

[wraith snow]

We already got that- the brickswich info they teased was never about it being unlocked- why that wasn’t clarified? I don’t know- I also don’t remember what the info was tho 😭

@hollow hazel exactly!
Like- we’ve heard that for years and we don’t feel heard, so now. Show us we’re being heard- turn the ship around, let us see stuff ahead of time, I remember analysing that first trailer bc they hid small animation teases and gameplay mo-cap stuff, like? Give us teases- show us the vision, we saw the “where we’re going” video, plans obviously changed, so let us see what we’re working towards, let us have actual influence yk? I think a lot of us have so much to give that could prob get this entire opinion on the game turned around…. The devs just need to come here and face us. Face to face. Conversation, hear our ideas and how we also want San van to be

[main ruin]

Yo @wooden ginkgo keep typing its making me chuckle 🤣🔥🔥 the idea of kojima complaining in here with is is absolutely sending me, not that he would touch this absoulute dogwater hogwash especially in its current state 🤣 and @wraith snow i agree but they are proving that they dont care and just want money in the short term seemingly,before they pull the plug

[tame breach]

speaking of buzz words..

We look forward to working with you as we move faster, listen more closely, and deliver consistently for all of you.

i'm pretty tired of hearing how they're listening when nothing show this at all.. its time to actually start doing not just pretending.. its too late to listen, we've already spoken, there's tonnes of feedback for you to work with... actually do something that makes sense lol

[remote thunder]

Exactly

[scenic gull]

Well welcome back!! 💕

[acoustic bolt]

"we are listening" on control + v

[wraith snow]

@main ruin
I think (and this is my theory) full circle are the devs, they might have insanely good ideas, but there will always be a bigger man, and that bigger man, might make those good ideas into mush- bc business- that’s my theory so I wouldn’t blame the devs themselves

@tame breach the amount of times I’ve heard “we’re listening” feels like me saying to my mom “5 minutes more” for 2 hours before school as a kid- like-
Start listening, stop saying u are.
And show. Us. Where we are going?

Like- show us the vision for the full early map / district ideas?
Maybe we love one area, but haaaaate the idea of Atlantis skate underwater park, and then they can change that before they drop it and we get annoyed bc it’s nothing we asked for yk?
Idk-

[scenic talon]

This community is kinda Iike this right now
“I will never support a FTP skate game”
“OMG they fired everyone from the FTP skate game”

[hollow hazel]

Omg it’s Hideo Kojima (your games confuse me)

[fallen haven]

[fast fiber]

Never forget 🍑

[wraith snow]

Wait
I have a sick idea
They did the t shirt contest right?

What if they did a spot / map area contest? People draw parks, streets, houses? Pools? Whatever- or 3d make it- whatever people wanna do- for a chance to build a completely community designed district? Like imagine knowing “oh Mini made that house over there” “omg I think that’s stackhats park!”

Like building a cohesive area influenced by community designs and ideas?
(Did I cook?)

Like it seems they’re struggling to understand what we like and want…. So why not let us show what we want? Yk?… does that make sense?

[main ruin]

Correction, won't support a greedy ftp game and why the hell would you, unless you wanna be part of the problem in the first place, we shouldn't accept mediocre slop anyway, if they didn't make so many bad choices, people would support them, but they have lied, manipulated and used honestly predatory tactics like fomo and fake discounts to get sales and now pay walling, I could go on but I dont need to

[mighty horizon]

no matter what ppl are going to find a way to complain🤣 if a game bothers me that much i just delete it and move on.. some ppl just cry and cry

[scenic gull]

The members of this server LOL

[acoustic bolt]

holy hell the fanboys have arrived

[scenic talon]

This is such an example of my point.

[tame breach]

i hope they didnt sudden job remove the person responsible for the Fit/screenshot contest.. i'm still hopeful about that lmao.. i mean its gonna cost them some postage but with the overhead reduction they just announced i'm sure they can afford it

[grave elbow]

If the game dies is there any way they could release an offline mode before hand?

[main ruin]

@scenic talon @mighty horizon your both actual ea shills, when this game dies dont blame anyone but yourselves for accepting slop, people complain cause they wanna make the game better, unlike the both of you, for your sakes I hope your just ragebaiting and your not just that dimwitted

[hollow hazel]

Are you serious

[mighty horizon]

if the game dies ill move on.. it doesnt bother me. im not going to let their decisions raise my blood pressure. i couldnt care less what they do.. i play the game when i want and if dont like it i turn it off. simple

[scenic talon]

This is what it looks like when you adopt a persona of contrarianism that blinds you to any reality. Games are a product made for profit. Every one of them is a “greedy” affair. You are on a subreddit for a game you hate. You’re a joke.

[acoustic bolt]

clearly you arent an adult who has waited 15 years for a new skate game.
if you like the game, thats fine, but i cant imagine you get much coming into the discord full of angry gamers, minus ragebait

[worthy moss]

"Games are a product made for profit. Every one of them is a “greedy” affair." 🤔

[brisk jetty]

Would you continue supporting something financially if it were heading the opposite direction you were hoping for?

[oblique holly]

anyone wanna kiss?

[eager spear]

sure yolo

[wraith snow]

U could both be a lot nicer to eachother while disagreeing

Ur correct, u shouldn’t support greed that’s fair, but I think there was a lot more to skate than just greed

@mighty horizon - u can’t defend lying and tearing apart their own promises to us as a community? It’s lying, it’s false advertising and it’s unfair

So ur both right, ur both wrong, just chill- talk about it all in a calming manner, ain’t no need to try and insult eachother when there’s valid points on both sides

[main ruin]

Then your opinion shouldn't be valued if you dont care about the future of it @scenic talon I aint on no subreddit im on discord, they literally ask for feedback and im giving it, what is wrong with you.

Coming on to this discord to make legitimate complaints about the way this game has been mishandled and being dismissed by troglodytes that can’t treflip irl is so exhausting.

[tame breach]

i dont have anything to say in this time slot but i'm going to use more words than is necessary to say it because then i dont feel like i've wasted this slot so much and at least something good can come of it in the form of XP .. see i'm playing the long game, one day we'll get our immunity to the timer back and then we can freely speak our minds in real conversation.. or not.. whatever lol

[hollow hazel]

Dawg you clown reacted me for asking a question 😭

I hope you know clown reacts just power me

[scenic talon]

The reality is no one complaining here wants this game to succeed so there really is no space for a discussion here

[eager spear]

that is reality?

[main ruin]

This isn't the dunk you think it is, everyone her is complaining cause they waited so long for a new skate game and want it to succeed, how the hell would you know what others want, get outta here goofy

[worthy moss]

Oh yeah man I totally want the game to fail
Thats why I put 100s of dollars into it

This timer dude I cant, just to have a normal conversation takes about 3 hours

[grave elbow]

I asked a legitimate question about the inevitable future of this game dying to see if there was a possibility for offline play and you said “are you serious.” what do you think man?

[hollow hazel]

Yeah I wanna know if you seriously think the game that said “no, offline mode is not coming” would make a complete 180 when it would no longer be financially viable. This is absolutely not how a game publisher operates

[acoustic bolt]

gonna just post this, so i atleast need to wait 5m before posting something about these clowns

(thank you Dyno bot)

• People losing their jobs is not a good thing
• The game isn't dead
• Be kind to one another
• Read the #rules
• Don't forget to drink your water 🌊

[scenic talon]

I’m not trying to dunk on anyone. I just have no idea why anyone would think EA would ever release a game with any less than AT LEAST this level of monetization. It’s just not smart.

[verbal hinge]

is anyone elses "gap 15 meters while grabbing" challenge glitched? it's one of the event challenges. It's in the second section of the event challenges. I've done this in so many different ways and still can't get it to complete

[summer cargo]

the game will be dead very soon if things don't change dramatically...

[cunning goblet]

Im.just here dont mind me, currently waiting in line for a Harry Potter ride

[main ruin]

And is it so wrong that people want change? You call me a joke for wanting that? And to not be lied too

[mighty horizon]

i never had an issue with him. i was stating my opinion to someone else and he got upset.. i never tried to defend anything EA is doing. i just commented that no matter what they do someone is going to find something to complain and cry about

[grave elbow]

Well they’re statements on many other things have been inaccurate and misleading. What they’ve said in the past means nothing clearly. Now imagine the game is on deaths door and it will receive no more funding. If they put out an offline mode out for let’s say $30 then shut down the online mode, the devs would get money and we would get a game mechanically better than any other skateboarding game. I don’t see why they wouldn’t in that case…

[wraith snow]

Ur both right and wrong

People who complain bc there’s a rainbow shoe = invalid critism ignore them, they don’t care they just wanna complain

People who complain about the state of the game, the grom situation, the layoffs, the going back on promises and seem a lil angry = valid critisism, they come from a place of feeling betrayed because the game / franchise holds some sort of value to them

I think a lot of the complaints are justified, I also think a lot are just flat out not the issue at hand yk?

[acoustic bolt]

just collecting my xp.

[eager spear]

+5 xp

[hollow hazel]

Did you not see the news recently ? The game isn’t even 6 months old and staff have just been let go, but if the game dies yeah they’d totally find a shred of charity out of nowhere right ???

Awesome more power ups thank you

[latent orchid]

and it’s in their hands. They can get closer to what the players actually want, or they can dig deeper in their unpopular choices

[scenic talon]

The GROM situation and Layoffs are both things that I can agree are objectively bad.

[native moon]

meanwhile i just wanna skate

[main ruin]

Oh wouldn't you know it, 2 of the things im complaining about 🤣 i guess we can find common ground

Wow I try and be nice and get a clown emoji, very adult of you

i’m having chicken burgers for dinner just thought i’d share.

[summer cargo]

i just want differing content and real skaters

[solid hamlet]

I hope everyone just has fun.

[tame breach]

the last EA game i saw this happen to was released in Oct 24 and in Dec 24 there were layoffs with almost identical announcement as we just got.. what followed was 12mths of fumbling updates, no new features, game breaking fixes only and even more retrenchments..

ultimately that studio was collapsed into nothing and the staff dispersed to other areas with some of the better ones finding homes in other studios working on new projects..

i think we're in for the same ride tbh 😞

[wraith snow]

I just want a new map, and not like tutorial island or changing up spots

I want like a new new area, like across the bridge or smth like that

Also @tame breach are u talking bout outlaws? Or was that not ea? I don’t remember ngl

[worthy moss]

Its actually so over 😭

Yo whats with the middle finger dude thats not nice 😢

[scenic talon]

The difference between us is I can understand just because they didn’t meet my expectations doesn’t mean we should burn the whole thing down

[acoustic bolt]

its a shame, EA games recently are always such a gamble:
will the be ok, nothing special
or will they flop so bad, the entire studio shuts down

[main ruin]

They are doing that to themselves, i and the rest of the community dont need to lift a finger for them to do that

[hollow hazel]

only to get this. whatever this is. i understand thats not everyones story, but surely you can see how this hurts us

[tame breach]

first they took my tix.. then they took my rewards for using their store to buy SVB.. now they took my immunity to the timer (we cant say the word anymore) .. whats next? my sandwich? eats faster

Seriously, and they did every last thing wrong. It’s such a beloved franchise with so much demand. How could they have been so dumb to botch it this bad.

I get it that this game isn’t what we hoped, but “whatever this is” is a finely tuned skate gameplay experience. That offers a middle ground between super sim and arcadey gameplay. Slow flips, power sliding your last rotation, this game has a lot to offer before you talk about what your tshirt looks like.

I get it the monetization sucks, and I too wish it was a different way. But I really like this game and don’t want it to go away.

[brazen sage]

https://tenor.com/view/brennan-lee-mulligan-um-actually-dropout-envision-a-world-our-destiny-gif-23428662

[delicate sequoia]

Its boring. The progress of the game is grinding to open loot boxes. That's it.

[main ruin]

I just dont get this point of not being allowed to complain, when a franchise you love is burying itself under the weight of mismanagement and greed, especially when people have waited so long... even if you dont share the nostalgia surely you see the problems and how is wanting positive change "burning the world down" riddle me that one, none of us want it to go away, but it will if it continues this way, that's the point we are making, you seem to be blinded to that tho

[native moon]

I agree but at the same time there are things that make it not work so well, half the time i try to get back into the transition after a grind I either get hung up or get shot off into the air.

[viral solstice]

Both things can be true

[radiant summit]

Is it joever fellas? Is it finally joever?

[umbral comet]

It's pretty good. wallies are inconsistent, wallrides look horrendous, pumping works some days and not others, and coping can shoot you yards away just for kicks. Wish they could work on that instead of paywalling

[scenic talon]

I think you might just be a mark.

[worthy moss]

I think its mainly just the map for me, the map is less than good. Its especially disappointing when they had that older map during the playtests as well, that map was great.
I dont know how many hours you have but I have skated it for so many hours, its just so boring to me now.
And Grom wont even fix this issue either, not for longer than maybe a month max.

[acoustic bolt]

again, if you were to look at the game right now, without the history of skate, or wind up to this game, its fine. but thats not the point, a person/company that lies, will continue to lie more and more until they are caught and forced to stop.
we were told about "an authentic skate.™" experience. which, before this game, was the trilogy

[grave elbow]

The map has no soul. It’s so stale.

[tame breach]

i just logged in and its always good having a big notice telling my tix are being taken... i'll have more than 20K tix by the end of season (sure some have more) but at least 25% of those were rewards for using the EA store to buy SVB instead of in-game where Steam gets a cut.. thanks i guess 🤷‍♂️

[native moon]

[delicate sequoia]

One step forward and two steps back.

[worthy moss]

Its fairly small, lacks hills entirely , its all downtown district so it feels mostly the same and it has no real direction. Generally I just kinda think its bad.

[scenic talon]

I can point you to a few spots you haven’t hit

[acoustic bolt]

im not really sure, but i dont think im getting that 'authentic skate.™ experience' that they were marketing to us for all these years. kinda feels like just a skating game

[hollow hazel]

You guys know what it’s all about ? Putting your left hand in and your left hand out, perchance shaking it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn around. That’s what it’s all about

[tame breach]

mayhaps

edit - thats a 5 minute word score 💪

[native moon]

i guess my point is more so that there should be such an abundance of things to skate in a skateboarding game that you never get bored. its why people still play skater xl , there are always maps being made. and if you get bored enough you can learn how to make a map yourself lol.

[worthy moss]

Yup, I said it recently but I havent done absolutely everything there is to do in the game, I shouldnt have to do absolutely everything and skate every single spot to not feel bored. I mean even skate 2 or 3 I played so much and never even came close to feeling the boredom I do with this game.

[scenic talon]

Seems like just more to hate honestly. Square footage we are easily eclipsing what SkaterXL (an awesome game btw) has to offer without mods. This map is far larger than the Skate 3 map as well. I don’t know how you quantify abundance but San Van is objectively large, and for anyone on a console it’s easily the largest free skate map available

[brazen sage]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-so-true-bestie-god-of-war-gow-gif-27100844

[acoustic bolt]

but its missing so much, where are the banks known in skate. why can we even powerslide without massive windy roads. everything is so flat and straight, and clean.
we get access to a megaramp for 1 minute before its shut off until next month. so basically no massive ramps. the skate games have always had so much variety

edit: i personally believe everything looks the same aswell

[native moon]

I dont feel like this map is bigger than any of the previous skate games, maybe im just tripping.

[delicate sequoia]

Preach.

[main ruin]

@scenic talon tell me you aint the same guy on threads arguing with people about the game and calling it your "dream" skate game, and before that saying how you thought skate 1 2 and 3 was made for you or does the account just happened to have the same name?

[worthy moss]

You can literally do a lap around the entire map in literal 2 minutes, how is that objectively large. Skate 3 had 3 maps and together they were 100% bigger than San Van.

[brazen sage]

https://tenor.com/view/meganleigh-megan-leigh-it's-little-small-gif-9505164187835791073

[primal pendant]

skate 3 was way bigger than this map I still find new spots on skate 3 over 10 years later, but in skate 3 you could also be in one spot for hours trying to hit a trick

[wraith snow]

San van is not large
It might be wider
But the reason every skate 3 map feels bigger, is bc it has less empty space, more depth, more hills etc. there’s variety in the landscape and different areas to teleport to

San Van- idk- I’ve run out of spots
And I love making clips in the game-

So it might be objectively bigger, but there’s less to like sadly…

let me just say, this discord is rather entertaining lol

[scenic talon]

Do you have anything to quantify that with beyond your emotion? Are you ready to say one map has more elevation or square footage than the current one?

[olive torrent]

The map kinda looks big when you're looking at the like in game map but skating around and just being in it, it does feel pretty small.

[worthy moss]

even if it is somehow bigger it still sucks

[delicate sequoia]

Im so grateful theyre listening. I think they have it all figured out, thanks to this approach.

[wraith snow]

I have no idea what u took from my message, cause it for sure wasn’t my point
Idc if it’s bigger
Idc if it’s objectively large- I’m sorry?…

It feels smaller
And then I list reasons why it feels smaller, and use my 10 year love for the franchise as knowledge to help further my point

I don’t hate San van, I’m just out of spots- and I lowkey think it’s bc the map is so flat

Like I know it’s inspired by Amsterdam in the Netherlands, but just bc the Netherlands is the flattest country in Europe…. Does not mean the map should be fully flat… could they add map areas that feel bigger and have more stuff? 110%! but it ain’t here yet- and my point stands….

[scenic talon]

Again I’ve made it clear I like this game and I want it to live on.

Hey EA chuck 50 SVB my way and we’ll call it even

[wraith snow]

I have no idea what ur even saying anymore, this ain’t even defending or coming with solutions for the game anymore, now it’s just shooting down everything we say?
Like I was a biiiiig defender of this game, prob spent too much on it aswell- I want it to do well

But no matter what is said, u shoot it down and blame it on feelings, while then… using ur feelings towards the game is why u defend it?….

Im rlly confused what ur trying to talk about here? Isn’t people being passionate and having complaints and ideas on how to improve the game- good? Cause it shows we care and want it to be awesome? Idk
