144658-hoverboard-event

== Content ==
			Myself and the entire community is confused as to how to start the event.  Even in the event advertisement there's no indication of where to go or whom to speak to to start this.  Can someone shine any light on this?

The three inaugural zTracks on Nexus are installed in three disparate zones: lush, forested Celestion, dry, rocky Deradune, and the icy slopes of snowy Whitevale.
 
They aren't exactly for newcomers.	
----
			=O This... sucks ass. They hyped it up during the F2P launch and now everyone who isn't a vet basically can't participate.	
----
			Sadly, it seems that the event is bugged, as there are no quests and being at the start line doesn't begin anything. Unless the WHOLE server is missing something

			Not like you'really physically incapable of going to Malgrave at a low level. And Celestion is definitely a newbie zone.

			Speaking Exile side, on the PTR Doc Zemmet was in the spaceport in Thayd, near the vendor hub. He's the one that doles out the race "missions" and you can TP direct to the starting line from there.

I didn't even know the hoverboard event was going on, i've seen nothing in game pointing it out.
 
For an event I was incredibly hyped for, it's a bit underwhelming.

			Biggest problem right now though is that the whole event doesn't work. Yes, the tracks are there, but no quests or event start or anything. That's a far bigger problem for an event that only runs for a few days

			Hi all,   We're looking into the issue and trying to get it resolved. 	
----
			Wheres the Quest giver in ilium?

Guys stop with all these toxic comments seriously. Yes I can't start the quests as well it's a minor hick up. Will be patched up today 100% and we will all race just stop with toxicity as soon as something doesn't work right. Write constructive feedback saying that it doesn't work don't go all out "oh this little thing doesn't work **** this game".
PS: Doc is at illium at protostar contract dispenser it's just the quests aren't available yet. Will be soon when they fix it up.

I did read it, and there's nothing there that says where to get the quests and nothing in the game that shows up with it either. So, confusing as all get out there...not to mention, quest giver is currently busted.

The npc indeed isn't working though.

I'm hoping i'm completely wrong but I noticed the hoverboard in the cash shop, I was thinking it was one of the prizes for the event.
 
Is the hoverboard obtainable through the event or is it a cash shop only item?	
----
			i dont see any new costume in the market, but i see the z88 hoverboard in the market , which is btw single character use only >.>

All right, let’s talk turkey: The Hoverboard zPrix Invitational brings with it some new and most excellent zemTech products. One is exclusive to the in-game store, but the rest are daily quest rewards, so make sure you hit the zTracks early to scoop up all the loot you can.

Costume Pieces: zemTech’s partnered with some of Nexus’ next-level action-fashion designers to launch a limited run of an outfit that will make your Holo-Wardrobe holo-burst: the zHat! The zJacket! zPants! And, zKicks!
 
did you see this?

Doesn't say anything about a costume, just one item, so it must be the hoverboard. And I'm disappointed by this as well. The B2F hoverboard was a big part of their marketing for this event... to make it 'earnable' only as a cash buy is pretty lame. -1 to you for this decision, Carbine. :(  Please never again use a cash-only purchase as a marketing tool, it's bound to cause a lot of anger.
 
On another note, does anyone know how the housing rewards are earned (maybe from PTR experience)? I'm guessing they're a random bag drop from doing this daily quest... which, if it's true, I really hope the rewards are BOE so I can at least buy some lightning bolts from the auction house. I'm gonna give them benefit of the doubt on this one and assume for now that the items will be BOE, as it seems like the Shades Eve stuff is all BOE too.
 
Here's to hoping! :P

Did the new event start? 
 
No info in the game about it, no quest giver yet (Dominion side at least).
 
Hope info about it (tired of farming pumpkins =P)
 
EDIT: well, "The Doc" is at Illium but we can´t speak with him, so no teleport to the areas, no event quest, no daily, no rewards.

That decision has completely killed the event for me if it's true. I was only hyped for getting that hoverboard and foolishly thinking Carbine weren't going to screw up and make it a cash shop only thing.
 
Creating a hoverboard event and then having the hoverboard the event showed in it's market ploy be available only in the cash shop has to be one of the most moronic decisions to date ... and this from a company that thought 2 plat dye costs were a good idea.
 
If it's true that is.
 
If not, yay for the event and i'm off to get me a shiny new hoverboard. 
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
actually i would assume you can get it through both as the shades event allows you to buy stuff and also earn it through the event. since the quest giver is bugged we just cant see the rewards atm. 
----
			If the event holds true to the PTR testing - you have a choice of one of 3 rewards from each daily quest. These included costume pieces, consumables, decor, and titles. The hoverboard was not part of the rewards selection.	
----
			Oh dear.  If the board is a single character, cash shop only item... that kills it for me.  Shame.
