Beetle racing daily month ending.... when?

[galson.2793]

Just asking since (according to this article: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/roller-beetle-racing-is-drifting-your-way/ ) it should've ended yesterday. I also would like to say that I'm very happy with beetle races.

The sweepstakes ended on the 24th. The racing tracks and the dailies are to stay.

The article specifies otherwise for the dailies

 

*To encourage aspiring racers to pick up the reins, daily roller beetle racing achievements will be available from November 27 to December 25.*

That's for the _achievements_, obviously. The race tracks are still there to stay. Don't know why the dailies are still active.

I knew that race tracks aren't going anywhere, I'm just confused about dailies.

If it's going away expect it to happen the next time the staff is able to roll out a build which would be next week.

 

I however have my doubts about them removing the daily as there's no harm for having them as it allows people to get extra medals for buying stuff.

I know. You specifically said dailies were here to stay, so in case you were u aware, I posted that quote. I know the tracks and achievements are staying.

Just went there and saw that the daily has been removed. :) No more waiting, yay! Just going to do the time trials from now on. ;)

But why remove the achievements?

Removing achievements permanently got a lot of flame after LS1.

 

I get removing the challenge rewards etc, but without ap there’s literally no reason to do the dailies, or the races at all, anymore

Wait they removed the achievements? #!$$::#!@ I was waiting until a less busy time of year to do them.

They didn't remove the achievements. The races aren't required to earn them and never were.

`Achievements →Side Stories →Roller Beetle Racing`

 

The 'achievements' in the daily category offered no AP, just the tokens, which is the part that was included as temporary from the get go.

Oh whew thanks!

The achievements remain as permanent. Only the dailies were removed as advertised
