A Year of Playtesting

A look back at a year of playtesting and development progress.

https://www.ea.com/games/skate/news/year-one-of-community-playtesting

[unkempt jay]

Hey <@&1062421982953607231>

You may have heard - though you SHOULDN'T HAVE if folks were following the Playtesting agreement confidentiality rules - that emails are going out for the next playtest.

Yes, they are. Yes a playtest is coming. No, do not DM mods, staff, Full Circle members, our official Twitter to get access. If you signed up as a skate. Insider https://www.ea.com/games/skate/insider-playtest-registration you're in the pool.

For those that were sent an email - you need to follow the instructions to register for the playtest or you won't get the second email to join the test when it starts.

For EVERYONE:
Don't discuss the emails, the content of the emails, getting an invite, what's in this build, etc. If you are invited, registerd, and get the second email stating it's time to play - there is a specific place for feedback that goes directly to our amazing Dev team.

Thanks. Love y'all!

[unkempt jay]

Hey <@&1062421982953607231>

Our first playtest of 2024 starts soon, and emails to participants are going out.

Do not DM mods, staff, Full Circle members, or our official social channels to get access. If you signed up as a skate. Insider https://www.ea.com/games/skate/insider-playtest-registration you're in the potential pool.

skate. Insider FAQ details: https://www.ea.com/games/skate/faq

For those that were sent an email -** you need to follow the instructions to register for the playtest or you won't get the second email to join the test when it starts. **

For EVERYONE:
*Don't discuss the emails, the content of the emails, getting an invite, what's in this build, etc. If you are invited, registered, and get the second email stating it's time to play - there is a specific place for feedback that goes directly to our amazing Dev team. *

[unkempt jay]

Just an FYI <@&1062421982953607231> friends

No one has CODES for the playtest. So if you see someone trying to sell you a code for access to the upcoming playtest, they are scammers.

Announcing you have "X number of invites, DM me your email to get invited" is a REALLY fast way to get your access to the Playtest revoked - potentially until the game launches.
(Also, you really wanna gamble your future access on a rando? If they leak, their invite is tied to you. So... it could impact YOUR playtesting. If you get the chance to bring some friends, BRING YOUR FRIENDS, not random folks on Discord, Reddit, etc. )

As always, drink your water, stay hydrated, stand for 1 minute every hour, and take your breaks/get some fresh air.

much love, skate.-fam.

Reminder <@&776526729166323722>:

Discussion of the contents of the skate. Playtests, emails, and/or surveys is a violation of the Playtesting agreement.

Soliciting invites - via DM to the staff, in-channels - and offering/selling invites is a violation of the server code of conduct and Playtesting agreement which may result in the following:
Mute in the server; removal of playtest access (for this and/or all future playtests); removal from the server; (possibly sanctions on your EA account).

We don't want this to happen, so abide by the Playtesting Agreement and server rules.

Stay hydrated, keep rollin' -

Bob from M-Corp

Summer Game Fest

We've had enough! Tune into Summer Game Fest as we address all of the completely unfounded rumors about M-Corp!

[topaz bobcat]

From: Sammy (and friends)

The Story So Far

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about what went down in San Vansterdam this week: M-Corp, the city’s corporate overlords, are now the city’s former corporate overlords.

Just in case you have been rock-dwelling and don’t get how huge this news is, here’s a little backstory: during San Van’s boom period in the 1980s, a multinational investment conglomerate known as “M-Corp” (though I think they went by another name back in the day) started investing heavily in the city and, eventually, through a combination of deep pockets, influence, campaigns, and corruption*, managed to take over the place. It quickly became apparent that M-Corp had a single priority: profit. Over the following long and painful decades, their growth-at-all-costs approach throttled the city’s once thriving creative and collective spirit. Fun and self-expression became a thing of the past. Skateboarding? Forget about it. If it wasn’t filling M-Corp’s coffers, it was out.

The fine folks at SV Legal would like us to state that any mention of alleged corruption or otherwise illegal activity is merely speculation.

Fast-forward to 2024, and it looks like M-Corp’s “alleged” misdeeds have finally caught up to them and, despite what Kook of The Castle Richie Dandle has been saying, it’s over for M-Corp and their reign of terrible vest.

hey friendos - NOT the announcement you probably thought when you got the <@&1062421982953607231> ping.

the EA Playtesting portal is currently experiencing some issues. the team who manage the portal are aware and have been working to get it sorted out.

what does this mean, Jeff?
well, this means that at this time you can't sign into the EA Playtesting portal OR skate.Insider website to sign up to playtest.

it's temporary, so hang loose. (and there's no current playtests right now, so you're all good.)

once we get an update from our EA Playtesting friends and/or EA Help team, we'll let you know.

• Stuck on Isle of Grom.

• Unable to play skate. due to a "connection to EA Servers" error.
  • Troubleshooting: Ensure that VPN is disabled and check that the EA App is not in offline mode. For more troubleshooting help, refer to our Connectivity FAQ.
• Invisible party members when joining a friend from another server.

• Achievements are not granted to the user.
  • Fix: **** We're looking for a solution and will keep you posted with our progress.

  • Workaround: Players can temporarily regain access by switching tabs, then backing out from the gameplay menu.
  • Fix: We're working on a fix to be implemented in a future patch.

[unkempt jay]

We are aware of the issue affecting tasks blocking you from completing week 1 of the Skate-o-Ween event.

We pushed a fix today allowing you to run any of the previously completed challenges again, "Witch's Brew", "Spider Bait", and "Heathen Flip", to complete the challenge goals and get all the week 1 rewards.

Additionally, we're disabling the "Basinator" Challenge due to the objective "Perform a single flip trick and 360 into the Fountain" not consistently tracking.

With today's Daily Tasks reset, we saw a completion bug pop up, impacting the Trick of the Day task requiring you to do a Spread Eagle 3 times.

Performing the trick Spread Eagle will now successfully count progress towards the Task for Trick of the Day - Spread Eagle and allow you to complete your Daily Tasks.

[unkempt jay]

In Early Access, you’re not always going to see things working or set up as best they should. We want to be transparent with you. As players notice something, such as two pairs of pants that look too similar, we hear you and want to address it.

Based on your feedback, we’ve removed the Peach cargo pants from the Product Box, as they looked too similar to the Dickies pants. If you already claimed the Peach cargoes, don’t worry, you keep ‘em. Continue sharing your feedback so we can improve your gameplay experience.

To clarify, the peach cargo pants have been removed however we're replacing them with a different free pair of pants. We're still working on that and will let you know what that is soon.

We're aware of the visual CLAIM bug when completing the Seasonal Tasks as we don't have a Completion Award for S1. While we're working on improvements for S2, this CLAIM button snuck in. We'll have more details on the changes for Season 2 coming soon.

7-Ply Maple Harvest Event

Dive into San Vansterdam and celebrate the autumnal 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event with us.

https://youtu.be/OcD4MiYUuOo

Welcome to the 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event, running from Nov 18 - Dec 2 in San Van. Of our two Season 1 events, the 7-Ply Maple Harvest Event is a little shorter, but we can’t miss celebrating one of the historic events in San Van that showcases our love for San Van Maple—what we believe to be the best wood for building a skateboard. The Harvest got its start in the early 20th century, but it wasn’t until the 1970s that skaters discovered the perfect window for harvesting San Van Maple - every seven years. Sorta fits with the perfect amount of layers to make a skateboard.

Spring Pop-Off starts Feb 10, 2026!

https://youtu.be/A-yfGWTIQug

Picture this: You’re cruising around San Vansterdam, neon signs buzzing, decks smacking the concrete, and the whole city is a chorus of sounds as we welcome Spring. We’re blasting fireworks to chase out those pesky cobra chickens that invade San Van every time this season comes back around. Bright lights, loud booms, and the echo of urethane on pavement—nothing sends those geese packing faster, helping reduce the amount of goose guano around the city.

Back in the day, geese and seagulls co-existed in harmony in San Van. But over time, those honking feathered tanks started throwing their weight around our city, steamrolling the gull’s scene. Now our city’s beloved mascot birds are almost wiped out, and we’ve got to stop it - and we need your help. If we don’t crank up the chaos, the geese will take every nesting spot in town, and the gulls will get bounced.

That’s why Spring Pop-Off rules. It’s our Springtime skaterized blowout—an excuse to raise the volume, shred every ledge in sight, firecracker every stair set we can roll into, and torch the sky with whatever fireworks stash the SVCC digs up. The louder our sessions, the fewer geese stick around. And if you’re wondering why you don’t see any cobra chickens flapping through San Van right now? That means it’s working.
