Saunders got a developer on his thread everyone post there
thought just popped in my head. Best way for anybody to see that EA is dealin drugs with no substance.(DUMB METAPHOR) TWITTER.
I think if we got LOUD with Twitter, we might have another door of opportunity open, wishful thinking. I dont know how many of you use it but just Start using it for this sole reason to bash EA.
id be down for that
So its not just me eh? Servers are down? For good? I need to get a cap card then...any suggestions?
search
hd pvr

Cool yeah I saw you been online when I get on so I figured something was in the works. A lot of folks been poppin in the other 2 titles for a spin. I did to filmed a s1 and s2 part working on my s3 part just waiting to figure out if I want to cap it all somehow or see if EA sorts out this mess. Its been down since mid November, I wouldn't hold your breath for it to ever come back.
Damn. That goes for like custom boards and parks and stuff too eh? Bleh. On the upside there is a new THawk game coming out.... :/
Uploading still works, and you can still get someone's park by adding them as a friend and going through the skate.park friends tab. A bit of a hassle, but a workaround is a workaround.Quote:

Oldschooler something or other and a couple others
If I remember I'll send you a few over in a message when I get home
You can snag mine if you want, might be to odd for your taste tho
all of this makes me sad. skate 3 never worked properly. it was always hit or miss. some days it worked, some it didnt. remember this?

where was the part about spending 30 minutes uploading one clip? thats when it was "working". glad i paid for all the dlc on both systems. FUCK THIS NOISE. i'm off to find a scooter game to play.
What about we live on with our lives?

Hello, I have been a supporter of the Skate series since the Skate 1 demo. I have bought nearly all the DLC for the last two games. I am an EA customer. Myself, like hundreds of other EA customers, are experiencing unacceptable issues with the game and have been since the game's release.
To elaborate:
-It is nearly impossible to upload videos to the skate.reel. It was troublesome as soon as the game was released, but now it is out of control. This is a feature that I paid for and am currently not able to enjoy.
-Sharing/downloading/uploading skate.parks, and graphics: This is also almost impossible. This is another feature that I paid for that has not been right since the beginning.
I have talked to customer support in person. I have followed the troubleshooting guide. I have chatted online with customer support, and went through the scripted dialogue that was absolutely no help.
I have been told on more than one occasion that "it is being looked into." The situation has only gotten worse, and stayed worse for a long period of time.
I need some reassurance that is a little more personal. These pre-fabricated answers with no results do me no good. I want to know what is going on. If things will not or can not be fixed, I want to know.
I realize that in the broad spectrum of your corporation, Skate 3 is just a minuscule part of your revenue and customer base. Especially when compared to Battlefield and the Sims. But this game is hardly a year and a half old, and was NEVER right. We are paying customers and we all feel taken advantage of. The functions that we can not use are things that should only be deactivated when the game's servers go down. Instead, we have been without them for the majority of this games existence.
I want feedback on this issue, and I would like to request a phone call. I would like to speak to someone who has the ability to give me some sort of information , rather than the Customer Service Representatives who do nothing but read from a screen and ask me to clear my cache, or open up ports on my router.
Well All I'll say is we wouldn't have made it this far if Blackbox didn't care
so lets not dwell in the past.. but move forward..
The active approaches I appreciate and enjoy to read
but even in posting you guys talk about how horrible their service is
it might make them reluctant to help.
antwan, i m pretty sure telling them how awesome they were at managing this online service will help...
the only option is telling them how bad they are and make it public...
I don't know man.. I'm glad people care about the ability to use the service..Quote:

Don't get me wrong fluckit is bigger than ever now but it's still a footnote in comparison to EA's projects.
I just don't see the benefit in downing them about their service when you're in fact trying to revive it..
that's just my perception.. my observations..
maybe I'm thinking too much on it, but I think they deserve something dare I say "respectable"
for giving us anything at all.
like ... like... a class action ?
Satire understood but really the only winners out of those things are lawyers :). More importantly though, by the time this would be 'resolved,' it would be around/after the time EA officially would be shutting down the servers.Quote:

yeah and the sad part is i think Ea is untouchable in this situation. They can just feint a technical issue...
Every company can encounter technical difficulties... what's important is how they manage their customers when it happens...
i think this is where everyone should focus and just tell how ea takes the money and runs
I'm not going to tell them they are doing/have done a good job if they haven't.Quote:

keep posting got a better response from admin.
threaten them with legal stuff :)
Dear [Insert Name]
The video game trilogy Skate has been amazing. We here at the Fluckit Forums are the last and most dedicated followers of this series. Over the years we've become a close knit community of skateboarders, artists, video artists, writers, and musicians. After only a little more than a year EA has shut down our servers. We don't ask for much. Please allow us to trade our in-game original art, in-game original skateparks. Please allow us to upload and download clips so that we can play this game the way it was intended. We know we'll never see another game. We'll never see a completely perfected build of the best skateboarding video game of all time. Isn't that punishment enough? Please let us play the way that we love, so that our community may continue to thrive and our friendships be built even stronger over time.
Sincerely,
Jack Barclay and everyone at Fluckit
P.S. - A backwards compatible patch for advanced free cam for Skate 1 & 2 would be lovely.
Edit as you see fit.
hmm looks good haha
most likely garner a better response since the combined amount of people is more than just the amount of the people at fluckitQuote:
