Hello everyone !
 
I'm here to talk about the zBoard event, I find it really awesome as a tribute to our favorite movie. :)
 
So Carbine provided everything, costumes, and also, some hoverboard which highly ressemble a certain car. But theres also many different items we can loot at the end of the races, either housing items, titles and "effect" items.
 
But among those "effect" items, there is one on which I would draw like to your attention : it is called the "88-Proof Boardwax".
 
It can be used only while riding a hoverboard, and, when done, the hoverboard will slowly start sparkling with lightning, and finally burst in speed, leaving behind a trail of flames. It's EXACTLY the same thing as it is in the movie ( except for the time travel part :).
 
Sad part is that this item is consumable, and you can only loot 4 per day :'(
 
So, as it is the funniest and greatest thing ever implanted in a mmo, and that I can't even imagine riding my zBoard without being able to hit the 88mph anymore, do you think there's any chance that item could be turned into an unlimited use trinket ? Plus, it can be used on any hoverboard !
 
Thanks for the wonderful event Carbine ;)

			Logged in to say "signed"! I would love to have this with like a 30 second cooldown.

Sometimes, the shortcuts are the longest routes... (i was probably a litte too slow)
 
 
(that jump from checkpoint 2 to 3 is insane and so is that speedbuff timer - i tried to catch that thing but it was a bad idea...)

Well hey, glad you're enjoying it! Although you might want to use it a few more times, check your buffs, and then see about that whole "except for the time travel" thing.  ;)
 
I've made a majority of the toys for Wildstar, so I'm definitely familiar with the consumable vs reusable toy balancing act. We generally use a combination of awesomeness (it's a technical term) and number of uses to help determine a toy's value and rarity. For this event, 88-Proof Boardwax and 1.21 Gigazips filled the role of some awesome and repeatable quest rewards.
 
That said, just because a toy has appeared as a consumable does not mean it can never appear in the future as a reusable item (and vice versa). No solid plans yet and no promises, but I still have plenty of toys I'd love to make!
 
Let me know if there's anything else you'd love to see!

Imo we already have a collectible tab with mount flairs
Would it be possible to add the extra  feature of trail effects on them for later patches ??
would be really nice you know :)

			Am I misremembering from beta that as part of the quest rewards you could choose parts of the Delorean board and eventually earn it?  I was rather confused when I didn't see the parts in the quest rewards, asked in chat, but was pointed to the Nshop...<--confused

Thank you Carbine !
 
Today you made the 88 Proof boardwax permanently available and reusable ( on short CD even ).
So happy ! Thanks so much :)
