hugo.4705 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020  I just wanted to say a big thank you for that skin, I was bothered by the fact the mount were a beetle, but now it is a real bike; I'm very happy. Like the rest of my mounts I dyied it with my favorite dyes pattern. I wasn't expected to see a holographic trail, the sound effects are also quite pleasant. So, better than a long explanation: I just bought it. And with RL money, it doesn't happens a lot for me, but really thanks from the heart. I hope players not liking the skin will still find one suiting them in the future. Thanks to the designers/artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The after-trail treadmarks are very cool! I would be tempted, except I only use the Roller Beetle at festivals and on my key farming toon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr.5382 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It's awesome--thanks for the pic. I'm still holding out for an exo-suit beetle (and skyscale) to match the rest of my Asura-characters' mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggySpew.4529 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I find it to be a Rollerbeetle with fewer animations. Not my cup of Elonian Brandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hayes.6890 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I want more tech only mounts. This one makes me very happy. Saving what I can to buy it asap... stupid budget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Tempting for sure, but Anet haven't fully earned their way into my wallet recently to justify a large expenditure for 1 skin so I'll hold off for now It is def nice though and it's nice to see variety beyond the normal beetle skin whilst in-keeping with the World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 Apparently, during one of the idle animation, the mount play electro music track. Through haven't heard it, do I have to /dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal Spiro.9745 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I am so mad about this, because 1) I need it and will buy it for my Asura Roller Champion, and 2) because this heavily rules out the likelihood of a golem themed set. I hope not, but it probably does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucianDK.8615 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Yep, 1600 gems is a lot easier to swallow compared to the usual 2000. I love the mount, plus the fact that its completely mechanical unlike all other beetles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 What what what, an asura tech beetle skin, and synergetics at that?!?!?! :astonished: Damn, can't say no to that, whatever the state of the game. Been holding on with the default beetle skin long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curunen.8729 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Just want to see an asura tech Skyscale ship replacement now - with VTOL thrusters and everything, so I can change from this bulky dragon thing. Damn perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moira Shalaar.5620 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 yeah, I think I am likely to pick this one up too. I think the 1600 price point is ideal for the premium class skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I would prefer it to remain something beetle-like rather than something mechanized. This skin isn't for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piney.3076 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Great mount skin, well done. I'll never pay 2k gems for a mount skin, but THIS one... at 1.6k... could not resist. Still want the rest of my exo-suit mount set btw. Heads up, I'm patient and will wait for the 740 gem mount select to go on sale to get em. But if you make em, I'll buy em. Side note, why didn't it show up under promotions? It was just sitting under the plain old style tab. Usually new stuff appears under promotions? Same deal spell forged stuff.

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I love this skin... and I don't even like using the Beetle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragga the Eighty Third.60 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Not my cup of tea, I prefer a live critter, but it looks cool and I will enjoy seeing them in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notebene.3190 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I didn't think much of it from the original pictures and such, but just saw it in person with some really sharp black, red and white detailing, and it's really impressive looking.

XYLO.7031 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thank you Anet. This was an instabuy for me. I would like to know: was removing the Big Air 360 degree beetle spin trick from the skin intentional? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lummuss.6850 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This riding skin is not worth 1.6k. I wouldn't have the courage to pay that amount. There are other skins of beetles that are much cooler than this one, I got the skin cold and I think it is much more charming than this new one that arrived. It's just my opinion.

Ashen.2907 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Ive never bothered to get the rollerbeetle because there were no skins I liked...until now. I guess its time to unlock the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
