Donari.5237 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Point is made, all :) I posted my query when I couldn't see the text in the image well enough to realize it was for sure a wide range of board positions. I understand now. And continue to be amazed by OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used blink/jaunt to get around the sharp bends near the middle of the second lap, though not sure if that is the most efficient way. i don't think class matters as much as race, Norns are just too heavy.

Check one thing though: are all the other names there in your Friends list? I'm pretty sure the leaderboard isn't global but only shows people you know.

If they win, they get a gold (it used to be 10g but I'm poor now). > And today I got disqualified 2 times in a row for jumping too early XD > Not wanting to go bankrupt I gave a gold to the first 3. Damn that's some confidence you got lol I'm good with the beetle but not good enought to risk my gold hahaha xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a 100kg Norn heavier than a 100kg ball of fur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Been practicing on the lab to better my time. I've got it under 1 minute now despite all the trouble I've been having, mostly from the mobs screwing up my runs lol It's one of the hardest tracks imo due partly to the enemies and partly to how you have to manage your beetles speed so you can get around the narrow corners without loosing too much time or crashing into the wall and stalling. I dunno who the faster EU players are on this track but I have nothing but respect for them considering how hard I had to push to get in the under 1 minute club.

You really wanna keep on rolling no matter what, hit things around you as least as possible (not at all for a perfect run) and cut corners as sharp as possible without hitting pumpkins or missing checkpoints and also keeping in check that you don't loose too much speed from cutting a corner too much, it's just about optimalisation over time, for me at least. > > You really don't want to dismount and remount in the middle of the race since it looses you a lot of time and if you can get the turns right, there is no point in remounting since you have the most speed with the beetle at all times compared to raptor jumps or jackal warps. > > And I'm not sure which part you mean but if you need help just add me on gw and whisper me when I'm online, if I have the time (which if I'm playing gw I mostly have) I can go to the raceway with you and help you out personally, since a lot of the stuff is about getting the feel of it and seeing it done helps a lot more than just telling you about it :) Sorry for not responding sooner, I think for me it is more a curiosity to play around with - just knowing it's best not to dismount is helpful as well as knowing this kind of time is possible. :) Thanks for the detailed help though.

Reynarth.4819 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Well done, after some tries I only managed to get under 50 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayakaru.6583 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 these recordlists are kinda pointless, since you can only see yourself and a handful of random people. The top, friends, etc, they're all obscured. Unless I missed a function ingame, you can't see the full list, and therefore it's kinda pointless. Sometimes I see a challenge that takes me a crazy effort to get gold. And I'm kinda curious what the top people managed to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beetle is pretty much hard mode XD You'll need it to get the higher times though, no way Raptor can get the same time as Beetle can but it's gonna take a lot of practice to learn what speed you can go and where ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
