Rollerbeetle Top 100 Prize is... (Pic Included)
Sent
It's not that people can't do it. Just it takes a lot to do it 30 times, seems far out of reach of most. Time + Good Ping + Skill + Luck. Emphasis on good ping and skill.

You can give me a ring as well if there's a mini beetle party going on anywhere.

Just letting all those interested in attending the next rollerbeetle gathering :P
We are planning on doing it THIS FRIDAY. Yuris + Beli can make it any time (they are euros + run +5 hours than eastern ). We are going to plan on doing it anywhere between 8-10 PM eastern ( 5-7 PM PST ) for about 1 hour. At this time, anyone that HAS A minipet beetle will be told what town + district ( or guild hall if we do it at a GH again ) to go to.
Add me to friends list, tell me if you are interested ( you MUST HAVE A BEETLE for access to the event ).
After i discuss times with the 'crew' as i call it xD we will pop out a time that works for most time zones.
Good gaming!

P.S. Gaile said it wasn't a 1-liner fix. So yeah, it would've taken them longer than just a couple free minutes.

Actually only 54 were given out this year to be precise. Don't know about last year though.

i cant believe that all of the anet team are so blindly dedicated to gw2 they couldnt do some code fixes that would probably take a few hours at most.
such a lame excuse, and its become the cookie cutter default whenever we ask for anything.
we were told previously the devs split into two teams, working on 2 chapters at once. surely the same kind of setup is possible, even at a smaller scale.
dont they have coders who only do fixes?
i should point out i didnt compete in a single race over the weekend, but that doesnt mean i cant see when a clear error on anets part has been made

So many sore losers....
Perhaps it would be better if these races were like a title. You need to complete 250,000 races to get a reward. I guess that would be more in line with current expectations of GW population.
Because apparently skill now means cheating.

I was able to get ~ 465k everytime with no super or echo. Just dont go through water.... durr.
I also find this lame that one of the races where I was lucky enough to get a super in the few boxes that I grab and I got 475,750. No beetle for me which I find VERY unfair after at least 500 straight races. I played for almost 2 days straight and talked to many people before I learned all the moves.
Why was it only given to top 100 when more than half of the names were repeats? I feel cheated for all of my hard work.

As a racer that played, I don't know, probably close to 500 or more races this weekend alone it is not cheating or pure luck that gets you into the top score. I was able to start out first in practically every race and finish first almost every time once I learned all the techniques. After that all you were hoping for was a super or an echo and super within the first couple of boxes. In that situation then you were set on going for a high score. If there weren't so many "rude" players out there who felt the need to use Distracting Lunge or a blast on you when you're on the beach and clearly on the way for a high score and they have no chance of winning the race, I would have had a lot better of a chance. Anyway, I'm content with the 2100 or so gamer points I made over the weekend but I'm still frustrated that the ACTUAL top 100 winners don't get the prize which is what it seemed like was going to happen based on the NPC's text.
I also wanted to state that I had a lot of lag also, as did everyone. Even though my ping was green you still rubberbanded a lot. You just had to watch the top 3 players and if you were in first but your name wasnt, then hit spacebar to find out where your beetle really was. Same thing works in HA when you're running relics.

I only roller beetled once and came in last place, so any QQ accusations can stop now
On that note, I DO believe every player should've only been allowed to be on the list once (fairer)
But I would also like to say grats to those who got the beetles<3 Moving with the W-A-D keys proved too hard for this new gamer

wow that might have been a good idea Moria, I practically broke my middle finger holding down W for so long.

Im so mad, I had a race once where I echo'd a superbeetle, and got another superbeetle, but I was still very new to the racing, so I screwed up using them all, that would have helped me SOOO much.

GJ to the top 100 scores , have fun with teh beetle
I tried it for 5 mins and didn't really enjoy it much , managed a 440k with about 327 Kds and random key mashing though
Pity about all the whining losers though , shame that so many are so blind to the fact that some people are just bloody good at some things.

Grats, I got fed up after 2 races with all the rubber banding, people pointlessly KD'ing me and some eejit who decided to randomly spout "LAWL QQ MAOR NUBCAKES!" after winning...
Must take a heck of a lot of patience to get on the top 100.

It's ridiculous to be complaining at Yuri and other racers for having multiple scores in the top 100. They didn't design the rank system, they're just good at Rollerbeetle Racing. Congratulations to the winners.
... that said, I'm not sure how ANet thinks it's realistic to have a ranking system where the top players are rewarded, but it's possible to have all the top players be the same person.

phoo slaya
i do hope that anet fixes the whole top 100 thing next time, but i harbor no resentment for the people that won, they obviously figured out a way to win. i was with a guy when he got 479, and i have no idea how he did it because he was way ahead of us all super fast.
Fox Reeveheart
o.O I am a whining loser, sorry.
From 3 pm friday to 1 am saturday i did NOTHING but beetle race. Then played a few hours saturday and sunday.
i didn't come within 15,000 of the lowest top 100. All i got out of the entire thing was 500+ gamer points (jerking off motion as he doesnt give two craps about that), 400 something tokens which NONE of them gave me a rat after getting fortunes, and 4k balth faction....woo...some great game anet.
even after multiple 4+ consecutive win streaks that doesnt mean jack crap to me, all i wanted was the beetle and i tried SO HARD FOR SO LONG. Heck the rewards for consecutives wins don't even get better either.
anyone up for sharing tips? you guys have one now so fess up you don't need another.

Wow, that's even worse than us that would be in the top 100 without repeat names.
You actually made it and weren't even rewarded for it. You should send in a support ticket.

Theres definitely tricks to the trade, i started out really shit not even noticing rpm and loosing everything unless i got lucky. Unfortunately this wasn't cutting it as i was ment to be working on the gamer title.
After reading the "omg cheaters" thread on guru, i started thinking about what i was doing a lot more i started: avoiding water,watching RPM, skipping boxes to get round some corners quicker. Nowhere near top 100 but i could get 1500 without superbeetle which was enough to get first in 50% of matches.
Theres a lot more depth to the art of rollerbeetle than you might think :P
My highest was only 162k but i will discover all the tricks one day

Just letting everyone know...
This friday (15th of Feb. ) Will be the 'official' time for our meeting. At first, PM's will go to ANY one with a beetle. We will all meet, then decide where to go next. If we want it to be secluded for top 100 only, or if we want to go to a public place maybe international kamadan district...
I hope to get somemore people signed up!
So far we have these popular 'celebrities ' xD coming:
1) Yuris Sayuri
2) Satan Belial
3) Roflcopter
4) Ekelon
5) Ouija
6) Placebo
7) Mr Fantanastic / Johnny Stormz ( me, Wick )
8) Khairiya Jameela
I will be contacting Martin Alvito to see if he can come. If ANYONE WITH A BEETLE would like to ATTEND the initial meeting, Whisper me in game @
Mr Fantanastic
I will need some proper verification, either show me your beetle or tell me what position you are on in the beetle arena list.
Hope to see a lot of people show up!

It's weird, though, that none of them provides any video or writes any guide to how to do it. I mean, people will produce farming guides and farming videos at the drop of a hat.
And Shakkara is 100% right that the multiple entries means it can't be all luck, or even mostly luck.

Numa, why would we spoil our chances at a prize Plus, Namkey had posted a guide 1 year ago. Go check that out.
BTW: We will be probably be going to Lions Arch International Dis 1 this friday at like 9:30 PM Eastern ( 2:30 AM GMT on Saturday ). So i hope to see you all there

Why share trade secrets that would hinder the chances of getting more minis? It's not like CoF or a farming area that can be exploited and everyone gets something out of it, it's a competition.
