Thread: hoverboards slow ?

  1. #1

    hoverboards slow ?

    "Tired of running from location to location? Jump on a Hoverboard and skate around. Not only do you look cool, you move quicker and your jumps turn into aerial tricks!"


    Only L20 picked up one of these and I still move like a turtle ?

    they give +150 run speed

    they aren't meant to be a super fast way to travel that you have to buy for a few dollars. they are just "flair" items.


    i would get a flying vehicle though, they don't make you "move" that much faster, but being able to fly over mobs/hills/rocks/foilage saves you a ton of time in rubi-ka.

    So the description states, but I don't believe it.

    I did some (highly unscientific) testing by traveling back and forth along The Longest Road in Athen Shire and found that my traveling speed, from fastest to slowest, was:
    1. Wraith
    2. Running
    3. Hoverboard
    4. Walking

    Not even the "mad trickz" were enough to overcome my disappointment. Folks talk about having a vehicle in SL, but it's a ground vehicle and is slower than running. FTL.

    I suppose I could do some numbers as proof, but you're welcome to buy one and experience your own level of outer-space disappointment.

    Unless you went and bought the points, these items are free. You'll get purchase points for just subscribing. Just like the Vet Points, these Paid items should be fairly cosmetic in nature. We don't want OVER POWERED cash shop items like those "free" MMOs.

    Definitely seems that way. At least we get to travel in style...or something.

    There's a word for people who think everyone's out to get them: perceptive.
