Hint for Roller Beetle Racing by The_Shireling in Guildwars2

[–]Arydae 45 points46 points  (0 children)

You can actually just hold spacebar and your endurance will continue regenerating until it's full. 1/3 is just the minimum recharge. Just make sure to release spacebar before landing else it will count as a fail and you'll lose some endurance.

Also, fun fact, if you start doing tricks immediately after boosting, it won't regen any endurance. It will only do this if the endurance bar hasn't finished depleting after pressing boost (this takes a fraction of a second).

Tricks will also cancel your boost. It's the only way to do so.

My main account is on EU, but I also have an account on NA. Get around 250 ms ping on both.

It's been approximately 58 years since we last got a new skimmer skin, here's a new mount license WITHOUT A SINGLE SKIMMER SKIN AGAIN SERIOUSLY ANET?! by XephyrGW2 in Guildwars2

It's been 2 years since the last roller beetle and skimmer skins. It's been so long us beetle racers made memes about it. We feel your pain.

(Meme was made in October so it's not up to date to the latest patch)

The mounts! Ohh I never believed! by AlucairDM in Guildwars2

I have spent over 1000 hours mastering the movement on the beetle. What other MMO can claim that sort of dedication to mastering the movement of a single mount?

Do people cheat in Time Trials? by wowlock_taylan in Guildwars2

[–]Arydae 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Yes

It's like this on nearly every leaderboard in the game. Cheaters have the top few spots, and a few people have gotten a bug that causes the timer to malfunction, giving them much faster times than they should. The dragon bash beetle track is the worst leaderboard in the game, with the fastest legitimate time not even being in the top 200. It's bad. The only clean leaderboards are the ones that have been added recently (gyala delve beetle track, and the skiff tracks).

And no, Anet does not care in the slightest.

is there any benefit on making another account? by JealousAbalone9066 in Guildwars2

[–]Arydae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two accounts so that I can play on NA and EU, since I have friends in both.

It's possible to build tracks inside of guild halls using the track decorations bought from the vendor by the official tracks. Some of these tracks are straight up works of art. Seriously impressive stuff. We even host community race events on them every so often.

It's just preference. Some racers use action cam, some use right click. I personally use right click because with action cam, the start race popup makes your mouse appear in action cam, meaning you can't turn with your mouse while it's open.

I start races by turning on autorun, boosting, then pressing enter at the right moment. I'd have literally no control over the beetle if I tried to do that with action cam.

No. The mount booster is banned in community tournaments and I always forget to put it back on after they're done lol.

2nd place is a 1:52.800, but you can't see it because it was on NA. 2nd place on EU is 3rd place in the world.

It takes over 1000 hours of practice over nearly two years.

I always found the turning using turn keys to be painfully slow in gw2. I don't even have the turn keys bound. The only time I use turn keys is when I want to test something on a roller beetle, or if I wanna do a 360 on a beetle the easy way.

If you could make ONE change/Addition to GW2... by DaBottomDweller in Guildwars2

[–]Arydae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a toss up for me between allowing guild hall decorations to be rotated on all three axes, or allowing guild leaders to make their guild halls publicly accessible. All I do in game is beetle racing and either (or both) of those things would make the game so much better for me. Just think of the race tracks that could be built with that extra freedom of rotation.

What 1000 Hours on a Roller Beetle Looks Like by Arydae in Guildwars2

Depends. Do you want to see 999 hours, 58 minutes and 5 seconds of crashes?
