happens an awful lot to me too..

Dont forget that ls2 only added a whooping total of -two- new maps, so they had to reuse a lot of assets.

Joko had a fine ending. No King rules forever. I look forward to see what comes next.

yes, underwater mount seems the only pick left. I hazard that the final ls4 episode will give one as a lead up to the inevitable cantha expansion.

having two different elite weapons for Revenant does -nothing- for power levels vs other classes. Its simply all about the weaponskills. Completely no different from other classes getting a 2handed elite weapons.

If scepter, we -need- focus too, as we have spell offhand.

I look forward to see what which happens post joko, the resurgence of the Sunspears. And the fallout of his demise. Going to cause a LOT of denial in Vabbi for sure.

many maps are simply not good enough for the beetle. any clutter or tight enviroment and you are better off picking rappy or jaqle.

Not to forget that sliding is fairly difficult to pull off, having to press an additional button. while moving.

I think too many people is trying to use the beetle as a main mount. not getting its only meant to be situational. Already seen plenty of people asking if its making raptor obsolete.

Tricks is quite useless for gaining endurance, simply not enough opportunities for it, before you are down on flat ground again and needing to chaaaaaaaarge so slowly

Volatile magic is staggeringly useless compared to Unbound Magic

They clearly intend to continue with kralkatorik as the end of pof built up to. Joko is after all only a side villain. But 3 living story episodes with him is more than enough.

I have to echo about the jackal. Far more flexible than the raptor. Having 3 bars of endurance that makes its specialty useable much faster. Plus you can easilly handle falls with it. Just blink before hitting the ground. And the blink allows you to easilly dodge angry mobs. It is simply so delightfully precise.

Whereas raptor isnt terribly good for precision with lots of momentum, and its leap only have 2 bars, meaning it takes longer before it can be used again.

But yeah, the beetle is super situational. Only really good for funsies and long stretches with little to no obstacles. Otherwise the jackal is a far better all purpose mount.

its not bugged, use the signet to see the illusion.

The beetle is fun to toy with, but im most likely to go back to griffon as main mount. You just cant compete with snap vertical ascent and fast gliding whenever you take off from a hill.

Beetle is just not useful if you want to gather, and too fragile compared to other mounts that is far better at evading.

Hot was all about developing your glider to get around with, as well progressing through the maps by unlocking new masteries to pass through previously impassable spots. Quite metroidvania like. But as far I know, it was quite frustrating to many., especially so when you only could take a very limited path through the maps, as you were severely restricted in were to go. Combined with OP mordrem with their deadly lava lines in tight spaces. Pof is far more open, and while you now need mounts to progress with, it is far less masteries needed to unlock other parts of the maps compared to hot.

Hot had far too many masteries acting as keys before you could have fun.

heart vendors sells the limited use volatile magic gathering sets. Tbh, volatile magic is far less useful than unbound magic.

Also, the beetle is super fragile when trying to pass groups of mobs if you dont have super speed on, compared to per say skimmer, jackal or griffon. Whom evades with ease due to a more spammable special skill.

Oh yes, its also not a terribly useful mount in areas with lots of mobs you try to bypass. You have no easy spammable mountskill to evade with. Like how you evade with all mounts with all travel specials due to the jackal passive.

A roller beetle would get blown to pieces trying to pass an awakened or forged camp. Wereas a jackal or skimmer would breeze through with impunity.

the beetle is pretty much a situational mount for large open spaces, which unfortunately isnt that common in the world. And all too easy to hit snags that causes you to lose your momentum in other maps. So pretty much tailormade for Kourna mainly.

tab targetting is terrible and will increasingly go to distant targets.

But staff is not a dps weapon, thats the problem.https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/39999/we-are-getting-balthazar-gs-as-our-next-legend-right-anet/p3#

And I seriously dont see the problem in getting a scepter/focus combination. Not sure what you are twitching over it, makes no sense.

Personally I found the whole tricks thing to be difificult or too rare to achieve. I do however wish sliding was better integrated, instead of having to hold down a new button.

think about it, that would put the raptor out of business. The beetle is a situational mount for long and big stretches.

Several awful bottlenecks, this collection series wasnt very well thought out.

this new currency is teh suck, just like diflourite. Only good for cracking apart. At least kralkatite have usefulness in making the weapon collections
