Why the hell can other players ram you in your starting gates during rollerbeetle racing? That'd be like if jockeys could get into fistfights in the cage at the Kentucky Derby.... which would probably be pretty cool actually. For some crazy reason I had the idea that we were all in seperate cages to prevent that.

So, in order to make rollerbeetle racing slightly less gay, I have a small request: Fix this? Please? *bambieyes*

Pray tell why you use the term "gay" to describe the Rollerbeetle Racing?

QQ some more? ^^ To be honest that is a fair tactic, you should try using ram on them first ^_^

It's a cheap move. If you can't beat them join them.

well, ppl use ram to get a boost at start mainly, not to slow down other players... it's just a side effect

I just use harden shell to prevent that right at the start while ramming myself.

If you can't beat them, join them.

I'm serious there. Just use Ram and Harden Shell as you come out, unless you rubberband, you will generally be ahead of the others.

Why use the word gay, surely there are much better terms to describe it.

In this caes it's either beat them or join them, try putting up hardened shell asap the dashing away, or just hit ram at the start and watch out for everyone else.

I completely agree, this is a perfect analogy. Ram should be instantly recharged as soon as the gates open to prevent this, this is the one reason I hate rollerbeetle racing.

People who take offense to the word "gay" should probably think for themselves and not let their "politically correct" governments brainwash them.

They cold simply start disabled, and recharge in the first checkpoint. That way the first stretch would be without the skills.

That'd be good. It feels like the first stretch is always just some epic battle on who can get out of the starting gates without being Rammed - and that person is the winner.

So you will know who you should target and use every last knockdown you get during the entire race on.
