been doing some test run and notice I gotten more SRB when I save my echo...
dont know if that helps but my last 10 games, on the first 5 boxes I gotten an echo and in 3 of them gotten SRB on the next box...
rollerbeetle racing highscore cheating?

I don't think he'll dominate the top 100 quite as he is doing now when all is said and done; as more "old-school" runs post, they will push out his weaker runs. Also, he won't post the top time overall.

1) Statistical anomaly
2) You fall further behind when you save the echo, and the chances of pulling an SRB go up because you are in 4th/5th/6th instead of 3rd/4th/5th. As with Mario Kart, you get better power ups when you are further behind.

It's a rumour and I can't back it up but it is plausible.

Do you think that I, or anyone else, told Yuris Sayuri or Ouija Board how to post times with their radically different method? What they produced is ingenuity. What you propose is a lottery. I know which I prefer. I won't begrudge the former if they hammer me out of the top 100 under the new rules by repeatedly posting better times than I can. I would begrudge the latter; random draw is boring and unimaginative. |
The ingenuity skills required to uncover the best way to exploit game mechanics on the map should not be the "skills" that are most respected and reward-worthy in regards to rollerbeetle racing. Everyone is not on an even playing field that way. Making the playing field even by outing all the secrets, and then letting actual skill in performing the secrets within the race gameplay determine the winner - those are legitimate gameplay skills that should be respected and fairly determine & reward the winner. Yes the results would be random, but random results in which the whole playerbase has a chance to fairly compete with each other on an even playing field is a lot better than how it is now.

i wish Anet would add rollerbeetle racing as a hall service or someting, so you can race with your friends for fun... like another 100k upgrade. it would so rock to have it to race with guildies/friends or something, might be different track so you cant practice curent one...
anyway, i highly doubt its possible to get 480k+ with 2 SRB only, i got them and was only at around 460k :P (i know, i sux)

I've gotten 467k a couple times with only 2 SRB (actually 1+echo). I usually do bad in whichever stretch I don't get one in: Tunnel, Hairpin, Loop. I'll buy that someone who gets out with a really strong start and knows how to maintain speed in those areas better then me (not too hard) could get 470k+ on 2 SRB, but the top top times seem like a little extra luck with a third SRB.

So far i havn't been able to get anything done because massive amounts of noobs like to KD and win 7 stupid tokens.... But stay on the damn path and dnt go in the water. save your boxes you get on lnd till you have both echo and super and you shuold be able to get a great time... if your lucky the last box you get you will get another super and you shuold be set!

I'm suprised nobody suggested this already...
