Please Welcome The Phasefront Jetbikes And Hoverboards

[Tazalanche]

...you would troll anyway. So you found an obscure use of the name somewhere else (and it must have taken a lot of work, given how far down the list it must be when searching the term - even specifying the geographic info it's not turning up in the first 10 pages!)

Just goes to show that no initiative will go unwhined-about.

It was a valid comment & apparently I was not the only one with questions about it's validity, so who's the one actually trolling?
Since the rules are no longer accessible, I guess there's nothing else to be stated.

Sil has spoken.
Enough said.

What is he trying to argue about it for? Will he try to argue everyone elses attempts until none are left but his? The Bolgnia Hoverboards make me want to make a sandwich and people leaving the game to eat is obviously a bad thing so hey I'm deciding you cant use that one either or anything other than mine so hey now I automatticaly win. You're the type of guy that wants do overs when rolling for Park Place or Boardwalk in Monopoly aren't you? This guy won and all the rest of us lost. Get over it.

I would like to ask that the Moderators Please lock this thread till new information is available about the Jetbikes/hoverboards.

[Kiytan]

congrats, i quite like the name, quite fitting. My suggestion was Vellos (not really that great)

i think phaseshift Would be better tho, but thats just me

[Pumpkinmeta]

It would have been nice to know that the name had to apply to both the bikes and hoverboards, rather then the premise that it just applied to the jetbikes.

Gratz to the winner thought

[Dagget]

The Display podiums for the Hoverboards and Jetbikes will be located on Newland Lake. Very snazzy look (as shown in a video clip at DragonCon)

And they will be Nanos that term when you enter combat. Make sure you fly high!

So... If you catch agg from some mob it will terminate???
I hope that's not the case, since that would suck imo, since you can't really fly high with those things, as far as I have understood it....
Oh well, We'll find out soon enough.

Gratz to the winner. I like the name

nobody outside of Funcom QA knows for certain and they aren't giving interviews , but my Impression from what Sillirion was saying in D*Con interview they will havve the same flight limits as Yalms, with the exception of the combat thing.
He did not go into detail whether that meant merely aggro or actual combat, and I suspect that might be tweeked either in internal testing or when it hits Testserver. Also yet to be determined is the hoverboards and water(or other non-solid surfaces) currently these will break the board nano, but there are hints that they might simply switch over to swim speed over these surfaces before they leave testing.
As little as anyone likes being told to be patient, it really is the best thing regarding these vehicles, be patient.

If it wasn't already an existing term or the name of an existing company I wouldn't have any problem with it whatsoever.

So, I Google'd Phasefront and looked through the first five pages or so of results and saw nothing that wasn't a scientific paper (or a Funcom article relating to this contest). Nothing to do with a company.

If you can please direct me to your "proof" that such a company exists, I would appreciate it.

Or, am I supposed to believe that a company today has absolutely no web presence whatsoever?

Edit: Googling for "Phasefront Labs" did render 1 search result (does that count as a Googlewhack? ). Led to some obscure picture of a Cessna with a vague mention to Phasefront Labs of Portland, OR. Reference to the company was 1972 however, so I imagine they have ceased to exist.

They can't cease to exist, coz 30,000 years into the future they make Jetbikes

[ziliath]

Congratulations, although I really really don't like the name I doubt I'm going to care much what they're called.

[SF_MileWorf]

I think the name sux big time. I thought it would be cool and not just something that sounds like you heard it 1000000 times before in low budget movies. This name is more for combat vehicles or for bars.
(battle of the phases, w000t, and we can go to the front and watch)

Has it been a roaring success, will it help pay for the new engine?

When can we have an RP event where the environmetalists get to blow the darn thing up?

I really, really hate that shop. I have not been out the west gate of Newland City since September, I hate that I can see it from within the city, if I can, I rather use the Stret West woompa now for the neutral route.

That thing is so tasteless and out of place, it really belongs in an Omni area!

It was put there by an RP event. So, Shhh.

[Jenshiye]

I was there, Jenshai, Averina and Foosball33 saved the off-world trader from assassination.

While crying myself to sleep (not in my Newland apartment as I can't face it) out in the wilds of the Newland Desert I try and tell myself, I was protecting the Mayor.

Now I want an RP event to blow that Fugly building away!

((Seriously, I thought it was going to be something similar to the Bronto Burger, extend the deck a bit and just be a nice little shop, with a bike outside and maybe a wood theme. Not that huge F***ing piece of sh*t made of concrete and lagging flashing lights, right in the middle of the lake that the aliens can see from Andromeda!))

*makes billboard and starts chanting*

DOWN with LAGfront!

[Healyhatman]

I agree.

It's ugly, too big, completely out of place.

[macattack]

I think (being the future and all) that we will see more expansive structures and buildings (Rome/Athens). OUt with the dingy huts and small buildings. Unless you go Harry Potterish and have magical insides to a small tent, I think they Developed the Phasefront building as it should be. Full of technology, and glitz (it is a vendor... more resources more glamour)

BUT caveating the greater space it takes up, they shoul dlook at new open RK playfields if they intend on developing new future structures, esle it will strangle the current palying fields. SO it might provide an opportunaty to have the new fields in the future releases.

lol you claim you're not a luddite?

*sigh*

I like the bikes and boards, they are pretty but I will never buy one because I don't like:

• The placement of the ugly shop.
• The method of obtaining them.
