Haleydawn.3764 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Cute as! The idle animations are pretty cool. One problem. I’m a terrible beetle driver! This ones going to take some practice for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDchiaScrub.3241 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Wish I too could obsess over its cuteness, but my enthusiasm died with each DC. D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasida.4085 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It was bad in gw1 and carried over to 2. Beauty is in the eye I reckon.....yuck. I'll definitely leave this mount to the fans ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 i would see them as really cute normally but with the huge grind behind it it's as cute as dust, not even worth talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got to do 3 easy minor collections and no gold is needed. But if you think it’s a grind then sure ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 i call killing a legendary and doing allot of kill grind not easy, i find the griffon bad enough but it requites half of what the beatle needs. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Roller_Beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you think it’s a grind then sure ^^ The collections are technically "easy", but the waiting around and the amount of mobs you have to kill for certain items is a fucking turnoff. Also some ppl are just assholes and are going to ruin certain steps for you (e.g. killing the toxic spider queen in 10 sec before you even get a chance to tag it).

It’s nothing like the griffin collections and fairly easy to do. You also have it backwards as it’s actually the beetle that requires half as much as what was needed for the griffin. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Griffon_(mount)#Unlock_achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had my fair share while playing the new patch and getting stuff done, and I can’t progress Be My Guest onwards because of DC’s. But you know what, I can appreciate the effort put into this new mount, because it’s ADORBS, that was the point of my post. My 2c... The release wasn’t the best, but I’m happy of this addition to the game and I felt like vocalising it. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume a stdev of 2.1 and a test-retest reliability of +/- 4.6, which puts it easily within range of *gross and can't wait to get a real mount*.

Ashen.2907 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I will consider getting this mount if a non bug skin is released for it. Until then, you have fun with it, I will pass. Is map completion gated behind this mount? I really hope not as the map is stunning, easily one of my favorites, but I will have to skip it if riding an insect is necessary for completion.

Chorne.8195 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I couldn't get past the explosion cutscene of Be My Guest because of crashing, so I've been doing the mount collection. I almost, _almost_ got the ley line event for the second collection, the last item I needed, but one minute to go before it spawned and everyone was getting ready to go I got dc'd. It keeps happening constantly so I'm quitting for a few days so I don't destroy my desk in frustration. But yeah, it's really cute. And the people who somehow have it in bounty trains already have displayed its speed, which I'm more interested in personally. The tricks sound fun as well.

You need it to get to some POI’s but another player with it can break the walls for you if you don’t have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The patch is a bot more than 24 hours along. I've seen the beetle mount several times already. That's not grind _even if those people played for 24 hours straight_, which I doubt.

This ones going to take some practice for sure. I must agree... that little guy is adorable! And I'm a **SPEED JUNKIE**, so you know I gotta get me one of THOSE!!! :mrgreen: The ones I've seen people on in LA are DA BOMB!!! :+1: And as far as the work needed to get it, I'm cool with that since it comes with a NO-GOLD price tag and is a **new mode** of transport/mount type. Good Job, Anet! And Thank you! :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about that, the only thing I have trouble with is the bounty and leyline but the leyline didn't spawn. But i do have a question, where are the golems?
