Kay Carbine
 
You see this?
 
You see this damn thing?
 
You created something in this game that people have wanted for years.
*cupcake*in hoverboards man.
 
HOVERBOARDS CARBINE, DO YOU NOT SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
Kay now that you've got the idea
 
Here's the next one
 
Do I need to explain anymore how much more bad ass and bitchen this game would be if you guys would do this?
Like imagine, shredding Thayd, and like pulling off some sweet combos!
 
Man It'd be killer to relive the 90's... When I first got my hoverboard in the closed Beta, I was so like, distracted. I had so much fun with that.
 
 
Carbine you have a massive opportunity here
Please. Make it happen.
 
Oh and dude
 
Add rollerblades while you're at it.
 
For the love of Carl Sagan pls, I would die a happy gal.
 
 
PS, posted with the intent for humor but seriously Carbine, you have a grand opportunity with this game and the hoverboards, I'd really love to see this happen for WildStar. I mean look at how many Skateparks people have built in their housing?
It'd be a phenominal idea.
I want to seriously see this happen, please consider it Carbine.

			Well if the MMO doesn't work out for them they can always try going with a game that is specifically about hoverboards.	
----
			
If I had roller skates that would be cupcaking amazing....or at least some way to unlock different double jump tricks.
I totally second this idea!	
----
			
I... would pay monies for that. Which means Protostar MUST DELIVER.
Monies, I tell ya.

Rocket boots are the next step
 
ROCKET BOOTS
 
Where you just like hover in the air with your boots, as a mount, and get some sweet designs for the boots	
----
			
What?!?
 
If they do that, they won't have systems modeled on WoW which they are totally not mostly identical to!  Taxis, daily quest grinding, and reputation systems are all totally unique and have never been done before!  The players must be forced to slog along pre-approved areas to keep them in line!  Somehow!
 
I mean, they have the ONE new thing- telegraphs which bring actual aiming.  If they start messing with movement and making it interesting, they might actually get TWO novel things in their game!  WHERE WILL IT END, I ask you??
 
(That was heavily sarcastic.  Because some people "literally can't even")

			You had my heart at 'Tricky'

			I keep throwing money at my monitor, but the abilities "Shred Thayd" and "Sweet Combo" won't unlock! Help please!

ROFL... really?  Really???  As much as I wholeheartedly agree, and the games shown above do justice to prove the point... how can you leave out one of the very best hoverboard games ever made, and one of the funnest games I played for HOURS and HOURS on the original Playstation!?
 
 
Realy!? :lol: *facepalm*

Even though I got the sarcasm completely... wasn't sure if the one new thing was sarcasm as well... but either way, wanted to toss out for the record, telegraphs are so not new in any shape or form.  FFXIV, Secret World, Aura Kingdom, and many others all have telegraphs. B) :D

Chua know of other game:
 
Eureka 7

I actually spoke at length about a suggestion for this.  It didn't go very far, though, since it wasn't about server populations.
 
Anyway, seriously, screw humor.  This is a real and awesome suggestion.  MMORPGs shouldn't be just about killing things and the methods and rules behind the killing.  Putting skating tricks and such in, racing tracks, et al, why not?  My philosophy is that if it's not a bad idea, and they can find the time, it's a good idea.	
----
			Facepalm	
----
			You poor lady only 4 plat :(	
----
			I totally do tricks on my hoverboard all the time.  To get some sort of renown for doing so would be EPIC.	
----
			
If you love hoverboarding, try doing it competitively :)

Race track originally built on Evindra, but now being toured around to StormTalon thanks to free xfers ^_^	
----
			
At one point I thought they should adopt some tricks from Tony Hawk but now that it could come to life I have some crazy suggestions.
 
Have a quest or event which requires you to be in combat on your hoverboard.  An event like this would be epic.
 
Be able to do tricks like grinding on an object like a skateboard.
 
If you buy a certain hoverboard, it'll unlock tricks.  
 
Be able to skitch on tanks.  Bring back elements of the classic game skitchin' to Wildstar. 
 
The possibilities are endless.

Blah blah hoverboard tricks blah flying mounts blah blah ruin Explorer path blah.
 
Okay, so it's not wholly a terrible idea, but coding the physics model that would make it seem fluid and visceral would take a lot of effort, and I can't even begin to figure how they'd work in Wildstar's signature RNG screwover mechanics.

As someone who favors Explorer: I would love this so much. Besides, the vehicles in the example games aren't meant for flight, so what harm would be done? (Applies to Jet Set Radio / SSX / Extreme G series, anyway. Sure, you get lots of air, but it's not flying.)
 
Ideas:
Besides open world exploration, in various maps there are hidden spaces that can be found and opened by a certain path. (Explorer?) These lead to race and/or skate park areas. Clearing the course gets rewards that vary based on the area and the vehicle used. Faster clear = better stuff, but getting to the end at all should give some small reward, as encouragement or at least a "thanks for playing" that happens once a day. Maybe clearing the course could be a way to get dye that isn't so RNG heavy, or there could be special costume items or mount upgrades? 
 
An open one could exist in the main cities too, or there could be a teleport to them that has to be found? As something fun to do with a mount after getting the gold for it at level 15.
 
Leaderboards! Because breaking up the monotony is good, people like competing, and with the megaserver coming, it's not like maintaining per-server lists would be much of a burden. (compared to doing so with the current structure)
 
Ability to challenge a course based on your mount, or perhaps your level, so there could be ground and hoverboard races as separate things.
 
...Yeah, yeah, in my dreams, I know. I'd be happy just for the ability to do tricks in the open world, really, and for more mount appearances. (Sleek racer-like bikes and more hoverboard designs, please Carbine?) 
 
Just the other day I took a break from questing and rode around the mountains in Algoroc, doing path stuff I skipped earlier. It was fun, but would have been more fun if I could do more. (Even if just for an achievement.)

THIS!!! JUMP ON IT!!! wowowowowowowowowo!!A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga

A hoverboard vehicle type minigame would actually be pretty sweet now that i think about it.  Anyone remember Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty for PS2? the special edition of it had a skateboard minigame in it. Check out the youtube link to see what it looks like.  Though the clip is actually kind of lame because the guy just goes for the special objective then they start padding the scoreboard by repeating the same trick over and over.  When i played it there were no actual halfpipes, but there were enough ramps near to each other that i could use a really tall quarter pipe (like 10-12 feet) and i would use that for doing all kinds of tricks.

			 This game is in dire need of meta games there should be race tracks for this as well. Throw some casinos with old school card games while your at it.. Hell the marauders could be in charge of that meta game. I think its safe to say many of us dont necessarily want solo content we want group content that doesnt create the feeling of dread. Meta games is a perfect way to achieve this.

			I would totally play this game til the servers shut down if they added a legit few more tricks to the hoverboard and added skates. I don't know why, but I just LOVE traveling with the hoverboard, and I used to love tony hawks games.	
----
			It's funny that you post about Jetsetradio....I have a costume on my spellslinger that has the yellow-black checkered belt and with the rosie hover hoard mount, I'm reminded of Jetsetradio / crazy taxi and it brings a really good vibe. I love the art and style of this game...really feels futuristic and fun like Rachet and Clank. Love it and YES to better, more complete physics with the hoverboard.

oh, oh oh oh,
 
And in competitions you could fall off your board and take damage. Good place for special gear.....

			I love this idea (no, this doesn't mean that it's going to happen) but I think hoverboards and trick parks are pretty darn amazing. A couple of things to note, we're getting close to the actual Back to the Future 2 date so we should see actual hoverboards come around anytime now, and Tony Hawk Pro Skater (original) had one of the best soundtracks of it's era - played it a ton.

Normally i think that the "racing tracks" idea is kinda lame BUT they could make it work if they put a creative spin to it.  Instead of a normal flat race track course make it like a dirt bike type course.  You know the kind that has huge slopes, jumps, and the series of small jumps that let you go right from one to another to the next.

			If they don't add this specifically to zones they should at least add mutators to housing so we can modify the gravity back to how the first hoverboard announcement was.

			No just like a universal trick system, cmon carbine.

Still have the avatar that says you quit WildStar.
 
Also... called it. I knew you couldn't quit gaming, you are an addict.  Welcome to the group, Fran.

Wanted to ask, are people still messing with you?
Or have they buzzed off?
