    This is cute.. but hopefully you don't run into legal issues with it.

    I'm part of the "Don't restrict items to certain areas" crowd. This should be anywhere as it's not a surfboard, though the switch from BTTF About being useable over water is amusing.

    but seriously, this would be a nice alternative to frosty boots, which should really have the skating animation over the superfast run.... But yes. limiting to specific environments is bad. but this is good. nice work!

    Uh, why hasnt anyone asked this obvious question....

    What maps is this limited to? Use this anywhere?
    Do i ever have to walk on ESD anymore?

    Im concerned its a limited use item like risan stuff.

    I imagine its just on Risa, like the other boards. If it can be used elsewhere - great! But people really shouldn't expect otherwise.

    Well, we have our Back to the Future tribute here. Now how about a Doctor Who tribute soon? It'd be cool to see The Doctor hanging around Earth Spacedock once in a while.

    Back to the Future hover boards can't be used over water so I'm guessing it isn't limited to Risa.

    What game immersion?
  • mayito2009mayito2009 Member Posts: 643 Arc User
    Why dies? It is about time we have some kind of vehicle to move on the planet surface, Pickard used a vehicle in one of the movies, so why we dont have it in the game?

    Well, totally thought this was a joke post. Surprised to find out it wasn't. Though it's a shame it's only for Risa, was hoping we were eventually getting a faster/more fun way of travelling. :P ​​

    Uh... last time i checked.. it didn't work on water.. and here.. it works ONLY in water on risa. That is VERY incorrect.

    I'm wondering about when some devious, little, snarky individuals will find some way to troll others with 'em. ;)

    And I'm forecasting a thread will pop up sometime either this week or next, with someone complaining that "Something has to be done about those hoverboards!" or something to that affect.

    It's a normal Risan powerboard, like there have been for years. Only thing new is the graphics.

    EDIT: Very nice graphics btw. I'm gonna use it next year and toss my Targ.
  • gazurtoidgazurtoid Member Posts: 423 Arc User
    Well, despite some of the whining about it not being usuable off of Risa (in fairness this is mostly ingame, rather than here on the forums), I am delighted with this great little tribute to BTTF, and a freebie to boot! I particularly like the little 'totally not Mattel' logos on it too.

    Well done Cryptic staff for pulling this nice little surprise out of the hat.

    Only risa? Boo! Here's a neat new shiny toy, you can only use it at a place for about 45 days out of the year where there is a lot of water and obstacles that interferes with your toy, and theres 9 months left before youll go there.

    I hope they expand it soon with a patch. Theoretically its awesome.

    Edit: Btw, why risa? McFly didnt go to future Hawaii.

    A BTTF themed Risa powerboard? :3

    IIRC it couldn't handle water well in the movie(s) but still, appreciated :smiley:

    Er... last time I checked Halloween / Christmas were (still) religious / cultural events. BTTF is a film belonging to a different / non-ST franchise.

    Will we be celebrating May the Fourth next year with a complimentary set of Storm Trooper armour? :*
