yes, it would have been nice if they had continued to give them away, however, with no live team to speak of, that would have required WORK on gw (other than automating weekend stuff)....so, they moved to the medals for minis ...which required only a small change and no more.

there is a very noticeable lack of players in the beetle, so few there isn't enough enough to get a game started I joined the festivities late, so what am I to do? I hope there will be some folks in a couple of hours.

i heard nothing, literally nothing about the racing ending, need a source on that. But there isn't even enough people to start a game, there was 2 other people TOTAL in every other district i checked.

I would doubt that the racing ends before chinese new years, it's part of the festival!

edit: not to mention i only have 53 medals

edit: nevermind :\ i messed up bad

i thought it was ending on the 10th.. you know.. WHEN CHINESE NEW YEAR ACTUALLY HAPPENS

Is that a joke ?



There was ALWAYS enough player to race in Rollerbeetle. I've never waited more than 5 minutes at this event to go in a race.

After CNY finale ended the racing outpost has indeed been empty, so it's true you can't start a race anymore.

Races aren't starting not due to lack of players, but because you can't start one to begin with. The event is over, so battles won't begin.

Well, either way. That would explain why it's empty.

menagerie now has an npc to change your ranger pet beetle's colors(right?) and pattern

seems they still ARE working on GW, we got many new mini's and even a ranger pet, with customizations on it o_O

(not trying to discuss that, just giving my thoughts)

Omg, that sucks. I hope they will give it out a little bit later because they said nothing about "no Zippy this year".

thanks, I did end up trading it for the snake. I was planning to get the snake through fortunes then get one of the upcoming years' minis but oh well i was always more interested in tonics than minis, so not a huge deal

That's neat, does it cost anything?

If the outpost is still up, I'm tempted to see if changing the pet's skin changes your disguise's skin, as they seemed to initially be linked and may still be.

yes, they didnt make it free, its worth a whole lot.... 100g actually

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hokusai

colors still change everytime you zone, but makes it more funny (maybe sometimes confusing)

its easy now to reach, as he's in menagerie, and yes, i did get mine switched, as i only wanted my pet to change, and both changed into tiger stripes

from GWWiki - (location) Zaishen Menagerie Grounds (only for accounts that have unlocked Racing Beetle)

so if you wanna make it yours, its 1 gold z coin+ 100g to unlock, and 100g to change its skin

i love it
