WeÔÇÖre celebrating hoverboards (and the people who love them) on the anniversary of their inventionÔÇöOctober 21ÔÇöwith the Hoverboard zPrix Invitational! ItÔÇÖs an event that brings hoverboard-centric gameplay and lore to you over a five-day period. I wonÔÇÖt do you the disservice of digging too much into the lore in this format, but IÔÇÖd be remiss if I didnÔÇÖt at least namedrop the man of the hour: Galian ÔÇ£DocÔÇØ Zemmet, famed Cassian engineer, inventor of the hoverboard, and zemTechÔÇÖs visionary founder.
Doc's company zemTech created the Hoverboard zPrix Invitational event for Nexus. Its coursesÔÇöor ÔÇ£zTracks,ÔÇØ as theyÔÇÖre knownÔÇöare for hoverboard riders to explore the limits of their beloved gravity-defying planks with like-minded individuals across faction lines. You can ride the various zTrack courses as much as you want during the celebration, but youÔÇÖll really want to focus on the daily quests to complete each respective race for the celebration-exclusive loot.
All right, letÔÇÖs 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: zemTechÔÇÖs partnered with some of NexusÔÇÖ 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!
- Toys: The new 88-Proof Boardwax and 1.21 Gigazaps toys will make even the most face-challenged Mordesh smile. The former makes your hoverboard move even faster (with some potential, unintended side effects), and the latter can make you move fasterjust consider warning companions following you around that your increased speed could be a little shocking.
- Housing D├®cor: No holiday would be complete without new housing d├®cor. We went more sparkly with this one: The Burning Track, which is a trail of continuous fire, and the 10:04 Lightning Bolt, which is a lightning bolt that repeatedly strikes the place of your choosing.
- Titles: Hoverboarder slang used across the galaxy is the basis of three new title rewards - so if you fancy yourself a Slacker, a Butthead, or Bojo, then itÔÇÖs your lucky long weekend.
- Hoverboard and Flair: Last, but certainly not least, weÔÇÖll see the release of a limited-edition hoverboard and flair bundle: The zBoard 88 with optional LeDorian accessories! zemTech proves theyÔÇÖre the supreme ruler of hoverboards yet again!
