I thought the beetle is supposed to have the design that you select from the paint job guy. Did you guys select those patterns before?

I heard the pattern defaults to the one you picked in the RBR outpost, with a random color. I'm going to try that out when I get it a few more races from now.

I just tried this, and you're correct. The pattern defaults to whichever one you selected in the rollerbeetle outpost.

I wonder if we'll be able to change the pattern once rollerbeetle racing is gone.

I havent leveled mine yet...but had no pattern (I got mine with a zcoin)....just plain (red when I capped it).

Mintha Syl · Feb 04, 2013, 11:07 PM // 23:07

I guess if you haven't done any rollerbeetle racing it defaults to no pattern, so?

ectogasm · Feb 04, 2013, 11:18 PM // 23:18

That's correct, the default default is plain, it means you never purchased a paint job or you reset it back to plain.

I just hadnt looked at it (the color it was on my screen the top and bottom are the same

)....I have flames on mine....and yes, I have tried racing and failed repeatedly

...and I guess sometime ago (probably a few years, gasp that it remembered) I did purchase the flames (I looked thru some old screens and found one where I placed! and had the flames...)

In other news: got a few more snakes out of my next stack! woot!!

If you just acquired a World-Famous Racing Beetle mini from Rollerbeetle Racing, you may have seen that you can't currently add it to your Hall of Monuments. You will be able to do this on Thursday 7th when the Canthan New Year is over. ~SL

How awesome is that ?

good news (glad someone put in a report so they could get it fixed).

edit:
now if they can just fix the extra hats (they managed to do it with other festivals, why cant they get it so if you have a hat that you dont get another, and another, and another .....?)

Ok I was really happy with this event. It again showed how many still play the game, and it's really many, and not just people only logged for the event.
As for me, I got absolutely no luck with fortunes this time, but with the jenerousity of a friend and my bf I got all the minis I wanted, tiger, rabbit (the 2 I had been unlucky with) and snake too ^^ Yay!

This years fortunes don't drop Tiger and Rabbit.

But same for me: Opened about 330 Fortunes and got one pet. Las year I gave my last 50 Fortunes to a friend after I got nothing out of 200 and he just dropped me 3 Dragons right out of that 50 ones. I don't understand but I guess it's hitting the right ones.

**cosyfiep** · Feb 06, 2013, 11:13 PM // 23:13

I think its timing...I was opening at a steady rate and kept getting the 100gold (not complaining...especially after I got my snakes)...so I think there is some trick to it.

and Mintha Syl glad to hear that people came to your aid and you were able to pick up the minis you wanted.

Arkon Necrocannibal · Feb 06, 2013, 11:54 PM // 23:54

I'm pretty happy with this event too because I have now 109 minis in my HoM, I reached my skillz (4) and I made around 15 minis with the medals

Silly you, I meant I didn't manage to drop them the previous years :P And that I didn't manage to drop snake this year :P

so i dont know what happened but I talked to the npc to trade in my token for a new celestial mini, and she ate my token and gave me a pig... whether I lagged, or double clicked her accidentally i don't know but I'm pretty bummed considering I've already had a pig for years and was hoping for a new mini.

oh well, there's always next year i guess =/

Quantum Duck · Feb 07, 2013, 08:24 PM // 20:24

The new racing beetle mini now counts as a rare point in the HoM.

I did, yes. Just after the update.

Edit: After I logged in, walked into the HoM, and logged out.

you can always sell/trade it for one of the newer ones (I am sure others had a similiar issue). There were tons of peeps trading minis in both kamadan and shing jea....

(if you need a snake I have an extra one).

No more Zippy's for the top 100 this year then?
