The last 3 beetle games ive been in... the gates opened when theres still 2-4 seconds on the countdown. My connection is EXTREMELY fast so its not me.

EDIT: WTF!!!! DISHONORABLE!!!!!! If you resign... you get dishonorable? I started, because of lag i got stuck on the first turn and being k/d'ed. than i decided theres no way i can win... so i resign... and now i cant play for 10 minutes... -_-

Noticed the dishonorable. This is pointless. Why should we stay for rollerbeetle? Its not like we're "ruining the experience" for anyone. Gonna go post this in bugs....

I think that it is just a way to stop people from maipulating the system by timing the countdowns etc.
As I said in another thread on this subject, rollerbeetle racing arenas may well carry common traits with RA and it would most likely be to much of a hassle to remove the feature from the template because it is pretty deep in there + they just rewote RA anyways, way to much trouble for something like that.
Just don't resign in games, play them out. Maybe you'll get lucky and get 2nd =P. Hope this helped/Contributed ^^

Well when you finish in any position other than first there is not really much point in staying in the instance for another 30-40 secs till the next race starts.

People resign out after getting their points and go in again, it means you save about 10-20 secs inbetween races. Over the weekend those saved seconds add up when farming for the skills title.

Anet need to adress this issue and not punish people for resigning AFTER the race is over.

I never thought about the consequences that it woudl give if you resigned AFTER the race was over. Good point, however they may have thought of that specifically and used it to prevent server lag and improve the gamepl.of the races overall.

Event just about started and we get this already. Think I'll make myself a tall drink and settle back for an evening of entertaining reading.
