Steve The Cynic.3217 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 So far all the mounts have a race oriented toward their special abilities. So the new mount's racetrack would be what? Suggestions on a postcard, but here are a few thoughts to get you started : * The Roller Derby * [Rollerball](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollerball_(1975_film) "Rollerball") * Shake, Rattle, and Roll! * (in keeping with the boulder breaking theme previously mentioned) Rock 'n' Roll Forever!

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 > @"DragonSlayer.1087" said: > Some people are speculating that it might replace the raptor as the fastest mount on land. On flat land maybe. I’m wondering how easily it will get stuck on land with rocks or uneven ground or how maneuverable it would be around trees. One niche spot for it might be faster than raptor travel down paths/roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggie.3184 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 You guys must of been scammed by a lot of KR MMOS to have such low expectations to believe it's just a reskin. It's a new mount. It's cute and based on one of the few good small critters most people don't murder immediately (pill bugs/roly poly), and it probably defies logical science with the way you ride it. As mentioned it's role is to break walls like Koolaid guy and it looks pretty speedy. It will also fulfill the role of our continued mount skin only updates to gem store every single Tuesday for the rest of eternity. :v I also give the unofficial official statement that it will be usable in other maps because why not?

Because it wouldn't be able to clear gaps unless there is a ramp. If you just charge at a cliff that's flat all that happens is you will just go crashing into the ground at super speed. It's really only a situational gap cross assuming there is a ramp there to provide the vertical lift needed while the raptor would still retain it's super long horizontal jump with no loss in vertical height until the end of the jump.

Abelisk.4527 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Maybe it accelerates downslope via physics? So, on flat land it would be a bit slower than Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klowdy.3126 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Lol, I just got your question in the title. Roll instead of role. I think roll will be the role filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said it in the title by accident. While you meant 'role', the beetle will 'roll' :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybarf Tics.2048 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 It can be used as a ram, also fr4om the trailer it seems to jump even farther than the raptor, mainly because it has some kind of hover bike behind it. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
