[Idea] Custom Player Apartments
Skate. takes pride in it's individuality and expression, but the buck stops at a player's wardrobe and deck. What if skaters could go beyond just their character and show off their sense of style through custom apartments? Not only could this be a great opportunity to bring new props into the game through missions, the Extravert shop, Skate.Pass, product boxes, and events, it could also help build a sense of community and creativity with a ton of new features. Allow players to purchase and expand their very own personalized apartment (with RIP chips or SVB) complete with full customization including furniture, walls, floors, etc. Private mini indoor skatepark which they could create and permanently save with more than 5 quick drop props which could also be expanded based on level or progression. Skaters could make their units private or public, though if public, other skaters could visit your apartment and choose to upvote it if they enjoy what they see. Apartments that receive upvotes would be featured in a spotlight. A new "prop shop" could be added to the open world for skaters to visit to help San Vansterdam feel more lively. Allow players to decorate their apartments with their achievements through plaques and trophies giving skaters the chance to showcase their accomplishments. Truth be told, players need more to work toward. Added missions and completing dailies only retains players for so long. We need something that feels like our own slice of San Van and that we can build up over time -- keeping us coming back over and over again. Let me hear your thoughts!Solution to Lack of Clothing Customization
I feel like an easy fix for the lack of custom clothing is by letting us use the decals that can be used as stickers for our board and put them on the basic clothes. If you made a decal spot as a big logo on the back, a small pocket logo on the front, and a sleeve or big logo on the front. Or ability to put a logo on the frontward or backward blank hats. Then we would be able to customize our clothing, use some of the basic clothing that we unlock and can even put branded logos on shirts too. Then you could focus more on stickers then making a bunch of variations of branded or logo'd shirts and hats that everyone likes.Hate to hate but........
The game play loop is dumb the fan base clearly agrees Still dumb founded how this beloved franchise became this? Really early builds had down hill sections similar to previous games instead of this flat generic vibe to the city Do challenges to get in game currency to open loot boxes that contain rewards that are again a joke compared to previous games mechanics, choice is limited no brands (ok a few) no way to customise the way we wear clothes, want to wear your hat backwards? Nope! Got to be purchased with either skate pass (another joke) or with real $$$ bro i just want to wear my hat backwards like previous games Will any dev explain why they went with the opposite of what the community asked for? Sims style graphics? Anyone i mean did one play tester suggest that? A flat generic city anyone? No core multiplayer Spot battle, skate, 1up, etc we get basically a poor version of jam from previous games anyone ask for that? From a true fan of the series you have ruined it When the rainbow haired are in control you going only get generic middle of the road try to not offend anyone media end up with bland uninspired mush that appeals to no one Then ea put there micro-transaction spin on it So here we are shell of a game by EA clearly no one listened no one looked at the analytics of previous gamesTheres nothing to do?
Why keep asking for feedback when you’ve listened to nothing that literally EVERY player has been begging for for years? You can’t even progress at your own pace, you finish all the boring easy challenges and have to wait for them to refresh the next day! Into the same soulless boring challenges on repeat! No story mode, fine. Didn’t listen to what anyone wanted and gave us an AI bot instead of pros, fine. But where are the game modes? Where is hall of meat? Where is skate? Where are death races? Where are any of the online MODES? Where is the mega park at lesst? Also regarding customisation why can’t we even get jewellery, tattoos, decide how to wear hats & hoods etc. everything we had on old skate games. The actual gameplay and physics is great but EVERYTHING IS MISSING!! Sorry but we waited 15 years for this game, this feels unacceptable.Things I dont like...
I'm logged in playing, but I have to sign-in to leave feedback, when accessing feedback via an in-game link...srsly? I'm leaving feedback due to negative experience. Completing AR missions: I've completed some before, missions were stuck, so I get to do them all over again, but it's way more missions than necessary, and takes too long. I'm only on the manuals , but I may give up, because I hate it, it is not fun. I get cosmetics for completion, but was unaware because I couldn't complete before, and actually purchased the items in the store with real $. I wondered why other players had cosmetics I never saw in the store....EA got me there...that's not cool though. I will NOT spend more. The "skateway" needs marked exits, so i don't just jump off and slam to get to lower levels. Why is the AR program like 70+ steps to complete? Who played that and said "This is fun!"...? I hate the climbing and actively avoid it when possible. games are supposed to be fun, before anything else. the AR program is not fun at all. we should have the option to skip and still get the rewards. I played all the previous titles and don't litter the map with obstacle spam so I really don't need it. change clothes and skate a growing city is what I want. EDIT: This is horrible. I'm not enjoying myself. I'm back on, and the tutorials are never ending. i think 70+ was low, it's probably 100 missions. Who played this and said "its fun, keep it in there just like this! they will LOVE it". I'm 100% serious. please keep said individual one mile from anything skate related physically, and no online access if such a person exists. 100%serious I do NOT like to stop playing to write negative feedback, when I do, it's because the situation is unreasonable. I like this game!!! I just want to skate! why is all this necessary? It's making me want to quit in protest. This "tour" is never ending. I was better off WITHOUT the cosmetics. The tour discourages play. It's the worst in game tutorial I've EVER experienced, BECAUSE it is NEVER_ENDING!!! Keep in mind, I'm leaving to play something else. When/If I return, the "tour" will be waiting....so maybe I shouldn't? I want this to succeed, I LOVE skate, but this is ridiculous. It's like being hazed... the experience is harmful because I'm getting upset/frustrated/exasperated, INSTEAD of having fun.Customização de personagem
Sem papinho em inglês, um feedback bas customização de personagem. Por gentileza acrescentar dreedlock nos estilos de cabelo, a trança e o twist não dá muita opção. Vocês estão exagerando nas roupas coloridas, tô a séculos a procura de uma touca preta nesse jogo. e foi sacanagem além de comprar o passo ter que comprar todos os itens pra conseguir a peça de roupa exclusiva do passe. melhore EA.
Casino Pack Idea
Remember ts3 stores Lucky Simoleon Casino. This is exactly what we need in a pack. Maybe with another desert world similar to Oasis Springs. We'd need the Blackjack Tables back. This time hopefully a sim would spawn instead of it just being a robot. Slot Machines are also something needed, hopefully more variety this time though. I imagine a bar lot type could turn into a casino, simply by adding the objects to the lot. Similar to the bowling alleys. I could imagine this being a stuff pack as bowling night stuff gives a similar vibe. With gambling as a five-level skill. I can imagine they'd probably integrate this with an expansion pack though. I would have said game pack but those seem like they're not making a return.Wishlist
So played a fair bit and enjoy the game but I feel like there’s a lot more that could be done to improve the gameplay loop/experience story mode, nobody to pro Add Some pro skaters to the game to meet and have them set special challenges/weekly/seasonal hill bombs, spontaneous server challenge that happens live no loading to a different shard. A random hill on the map with various objects and ramps to skate on lasts for 10 mins run as many times as you want. Winner gets currency for season pass or premium. Plus unique reward for first time win new task photo shoot. Skate a designated area with specific tricks where a camera trap is already set up. It will automatically take a string of photos whilst you complete the task pick the best image and have the option to save as a screenshot. add skitching to make use of all the vehicles allow for wall riding on vans/trucks/busses/large vehicles New server task challenge, server wide race from point a to point b. across the whole map. Skating only disable the option for getting off your board, disable flying etc. (battle royale style race) this will happen live in the server online no loading to a different shard. throw down add the SKATE game option new server weekly challenge, skate comp. Use one of the many skate parks and run a skate comp on the server, all live in the session winner gets unique rewards and season pass tix. get a bonus reward if you complete all task challenges first time have some different brands/companies that you can choose to sign with which have exclusive cosmetics. Maybe they’re themed so you’d pick a brand that better matched you. add additional clothing layer of shirts/jackets so you’d pick can choose an under shirt and then jacket. Will just add variety to clothing and cosmetics add tattoos add more hairstyles add more colour options for all appearance options especially hair add piercings/jewelry the sticker placements should be free to manipulate where you want, not the 3 slots Passive partying, the multiplayer in this game struggles. Make it so you complete challenges live in the online session and passively party up with other players completing the same challenge. passive partying- soft joining groups of players in the same area as you, so you get a bonus to playing with groups but without the obtrusive joining Have an offline skate park creator. Allow players to use the community parks as a starting point to create parks with no limits. Publish the parks to the net. When there are no seasonal events in game using the parks rotate in the user created parks maybe highest rated and have them there for 48hrs with an option for you to bookmark ones you like to save and play offline later. allow for user to create up 5 custom session markers to quickly revisit favourite locations and hotspots. add more ways to get the season pass tix currently it feels like the player needs to spend more real money to actually complete the pass even if they have a premium pass. add a graffiti emote and allow for creating a custom tag. add the starter/intro island to the map. add skate clans/crews to join to help promote multiplayer I could go on and on but in general the game needs to find ways of passively getting players to play together in server live events or challenges with rewards etc. whilst adding more flavour and variety to the current loop with more customisation options.
Mermaids should give a unique moodlet from water woohoo
With the new woohoo type I expected woohooing with a mermaid in the ocean to give me at least a moodlet, like the ones you get from woohooing other occults, but my sim didn't seem to notice it or care about it at all, which was disappointing. Mermaids are already the least fleshed out occult, it's a shame it looks like EA didn't even take the freebie of a water woohoo moodlet.
