starhunter.6015 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Ok as part of a collection is nice and all, but this one mob dies super fast. This part of the beetle feed collection should of been random drop from the Giant beetles in Silverwastes or Drytop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zealex.9410 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Idk i got it first try. I suggest u w8 a day or so for the traction to die down or look for an instance without many players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter.6015 Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 I was able to get it very easy myself. But the point still stands and that is the current mob they selected can be solo'd in no time at all which can lead to some players being Kitten trolls with it.

AliamRationem.5172 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I felt kinda bad. I didn't know it was the veteran beetle. I just happened to walk up when it spawned. I looked around for anyone nearby, didn't see anyone, killed it...and that's when a huge squad rolled around the corner and saw it die... Ouch.

Shadowzerk.4715 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 alpha beetle: 1~2 sec toxic spider queen: 7 sec its omg easy to kill a vet with 40~50 ppl camping @ 1 tiny spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hevoskuuri.3891 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Things will calm down after a while, and the collection will be much easier then. Until that happens, you'll just have to selfishly camp the mobs and DPS them as soon as they spawn. I was lucky enough to rush through the entire collection in a couple of hours, and by the looks of it so were a lot of others too, so it's not impossible. Good luck.

VanWilder.6923 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Put the collection under "Serpent Ire" -> Players complain: Too much health pool, CC, large groups, coordinate ... Put the collection under "Alpha Beetle" -> Players complain: Too little health, no CC, why too many players at the same spot, what cordinate ... Players are arguing themself! I got them all 1st try. The waiting for events to spawn is insane beside of that, nothing to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also whats the deal with this ? i mean come on! 15 minutes of waiting ? hell i waited even 1 hour to get the kill ( was afk sometimes due food and other stuff).

(1) its status can be switched back to veteran later, (2) there are also other higher "ranked" mobs in the list. So in general, I can't see a problem :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trise.2865 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Step 1: Play a Ranger. Step 2: Use Traps. Step 3: Profit. Traps' reaction times are faster than yours. Guaranteed. You need only be in the area to get the tag and loot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Champ status? Queue the threads a week or so from now with people complaining that it requires a group now and they cannot get any help. It’s not like we didn’t see plenty of those with the griffon collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s even worse since it’s in a remote part of the map which requires you to do the Skritt event to unlock access or have mounts to break out of the map.

Oh, yes. Good point. I was lucky to port into the map while the tunnels were open. And on top of that, you have to continually kill the standard beetle on the ledge to spawn the event; oh, but if it hasn't been 15-30 minutes since the last champ beetle was killed, then nothing will happen. I can personally attest to this, as I was camping the standard beetle for a good 10 minutes. I'm not sure if players realize this, because the other person I bumped into was just sitting around waiting. Yeah...just not well thought-out at all.

I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that people going for the beetle already have the springer unlocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to those that are willing to help who may not have the expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
