Menoitios.8375 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I help run them so definitely know they are a thing and actively participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 You mean in Queensdale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I've heard about them, but I've not had time to play much since the last update and when I have it's been in towns or in out of the way maps so I've not seen them yet. But they sound like fun and I'm glad people have gone ahead and done it. I look forward to seeing one, and maybe joining in when I finally get my beetle.

Acnologia.6934 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Not only queensdale. Racing guilds are building circuits in every map of core Tyria HoT and PoF maps. I created some for Dragon Stand, Dredghaunt cliffs, LA, gendarran fields, mount maelstrom, straits of devastation, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodokuna Akuma.9570 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It really is wonderful when the community comes together like this to produce this kind of stuff, even better with tools like taco to provide a ui circuit for players to follow (got tekkit's queensdale beetle race installed.)

Zaraki.5784 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Never heard of them, where do they take place? and how do they work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endless Soul.5178 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 No idea. Never heard of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadshow.9320 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Never heard of them and probably won't get the beettle before September. I don't understand the need to get the latest new shiny right away, get bored with it within a month and moan there is nothing to do. These races are a prime example of ppl already bored with them and needing to find a way to justify getting them on day one. How long as it been ? 2 weeks?

Scud.5067 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018  My name is Mad Mr. Helpful. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was with Asura law enforcement. A beetle rider searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else. I am the one that runs from both the living and the dead. Hunted by skritt, haunted by those I could not protect. So I exist in this Maguuma Wastes, a guzzolene chugging beetle rider, reduced to one instinct: **survive**. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acnologia.6934 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 There are guilds building circuits on every map. Every circuit has is own rules: 3 laps, end on commander, you must cross every marker the commander use to build the circuit. Sometime we give out prizes for the winners. This mount give you a lot of new options. If you never tried one but you're saying it is boring.... i can only tell you to get one the faster you can. The no care option is don't open the post ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killermanjaro.5670 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I've seen a few listed on LFG, and a couple in progress in a couple of maps while I've been doing my own thing. But not joined any yet, they sound like they could be a bit of fun for something different every now and then, but how do people set a track and make sure people stick to it? (I mean I know a comm could place markers as points for the track, but you can't set a series of S bends and chicanes I take it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get it right away while there are others available to help you do it. Some features become depopulated like the Orr events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephylon.4938 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I heard that some people were doing them in rainbow road from 1 of my guildies while we were doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acnologia.6934 Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 Killermanjaro we have referees watching the map while the race go on. That way you have just to watch the blue icons crossing the markers. Anyway most circuits are built preventing cheesy cuts; ) Most of the time markers are used just to point the hard turns. Join the next race you see in lfg and you'll understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
