How to unlock the It takes a really big village… achievement in Skate 3 - Definitive Guide

*** ACHIEVEMENT NOW LIVE ***


I can't say whether this is now permanent or whether it will reset & start again for furture players/board earners, sorry. Grab it while you can.

Also you don't need to actually do anything, it will pop as soon as you boot up the game & it signs you into EAnation/skate.feed (although if you're starting the game from new you may need to earn @ least 1 board i.e. do the 1st challenge.)

& finally, after 2 weeks the total has not been reset - so it appears that it is now permanant (I accept no responsability if it does go back to zero in the future though).

OK, you've just read the important bit. Going to leave all the stuff below up just so the comments make sense to anyone looking in the future....

It's definitely a community total, not just a team total.

Quote from Spiffjiff - EA community manager on the Skate 3 forums...

"Hey guys,

The issue here is bug related. It take a really big village is dependent on the community board sales target being reached. The bug is with the community board sales calculations. Once that's fixed, you'll see a meter in skate.feed showing how many more boards need to be sold to unlock the achievement.

Again, apologies for the bug, but we are working on it."

EDIT: Latest news from Cuz's blog is that a patch is to be expected towards the end of the month. It mentions various small fixes but does not directly address this 'chieve. We can but hope...

LATEST UPDATE: When you go to skate.feed there is now a community board sales total & target below your personal & team totals.

As suggested by Abylities I will update this daily for those too bone-idle to put the actual disc in their XBOX & check for themselves (but I expect a chit-load of thumbs-ups in return!) :P

*************************************
* The total is currently 250 billion *
*************************************

The target is 250 billion.

Thanks to Volcom CR & ElHubcapo for total updates while I haven't been able to connect.

Also to DBB DogTagger for blog info in comments below - sounds like patch coming next week (w/c 21/06) sometime.

PATCH IS NOW HERE & CONNECTIVITY IS MUCH IMPROVED, ALTHOUGH STILL NOT PERFECT.

23/06 EXTRA INFO in response to ABouncingSoul - @ current rate of increase (approx 3 bil per day) we're looking @ around another 12-15 days to hit the target, although I wouldn't be surprised if it slowed a little.

As far as I'm aware, to get the 'chieve to pop, you need to play a ranked match once the target has been reached - I'm not 100% on that bit tho'...

28/06 Looking like the w/end of 09/07 or shortly after...

02/07 With the Danny Way Hawaiian Dream DLC dropping on Tuesday (06/07), board sales may start to pick up again slightly from that day...

Very nice find Doc! I was just about to head over here and post this but you got here before i did. So it pretty much looks like we just all have to wait it out and wait or EA to fix this piece of crap. Thanks again for posting Doc!

Originally, over the lauch weekend it hit the total two or three times a day in the first few days (the total on the website being 2 billion) so that was around 5 or 6 billion a day, it then slowed to hitting daily or slightly less - 2 billion a day, it is now going up by around the same amount but increased slightly today (after the release of the DLC).

Current total & rate of increase seem totally feasable to me.

Last night when I started the DLC it said comunity total board sales of 177 Billion and the next mile stone was 250 Billion sales so maybe, hopefully this will be the requirement?

This is a pure guess, but @ current rate of increase I reckon we're looking @ about another 3 weeks(ish) - taking us to the end of the month.

Does anybody know where the meter for this is on skate.ea.com so I don't have to boot up Skate on my 360 whenever I want to see the status of this cheevo??

It's not on the website (as far as I know), but as I put in my guide I'm updating this daily (when possible) - so just check here.
I also put that at the current rate of increase (which may go down, but is very unlikely to go up) the total will be reached towards the end of the month @ the earliest.

ALSO - CAN THE PERSON WHO VOTED ME DOWN PLEASE EITHER LEAVE A REASON SO I CAN CORRECT THE ERROR OR REMOVE THE DOWN VOTE?

ANONYMOUS DOWN-VOTES ARE NEITHER USE NOR ORNAMENT!

Same here man, I fully agree with the whole EA online thing. The amount of money EA make they should really be able to sort their online out! However, the game (for me at least) is still great fun to play with mates, even if only for freeskate - ranked matches & scores aren't the be-all & end-all, & I'm happy to just mess about & make videos & take photos 'til they do sort it.

@JuicyLemurTats - refresh my memory, what is party play again? I got every achievement in Skate 2, so I definitely must have used Party Play, but can't remember exactly what it is!

Hopefully the new achievements will be easy but fun so i can get 100% completion (I have 51 out of 52 Achievements just now)

Props to Rusty Nail for having another solution up, but I'm also glad it's been taken down. Perhaps when you change the current total (175), you could also post the day you edited it on? Before long this'll be out, but just whilst waiting :)

The sales total seems to be complete nonsense. On EA's site is was a live running total. On this they just seem to update the total to the nearest billion each day and given the slow rise I think they are making it up.

Can somebody please describe how to find the community board sales on the website. Is it hidden away somewhere on skate.ea.com? It sure doesn't seem to be anywhere obvious. Using EA.com is a horrible, horrible experience. :|

On skate.feed in game, still showing 249 billion right now... I think it has got to be within the next 24 hours.

You don't really need to do anything for this achievement.
You can just press start when playing the game for the first time.
Do that and 50G is yours. Quite easy, huh?

Very easy. You can get this trophy now that the PS3 community has reached the target. Just start the game and go to the skate.Feed and it should unlock.

It’s not necessary to gain any sales, I didn’t play at all, as soon as I made a profile and went online, the trophy opened.
