Huge Thanks to AN for Canthan New years Event

Well done guys, you excelled yourself this time. Rollerbeetle racing is simply inspired

Pimp My Beetle xD

Apparently only 1 in 6 are good at it, though. (I.E. I win a lot and my guildies all hate the game =/)

Still, it's a game of thinking on your shell and reacting fast. (One knockdown can easily take you from 1st to last, and 5 can take you from last to 1st!)

Agreed, this racing mini-game is the best yet, and I can't wait to see how this feast thing turns out. Great job ANet!

Thanks Anet, I'm loving every bit of this event!

Rollerbeetle racing really is great fun! I'm not very good at it though...

Remember to paint stripes on your beetle, it makes it go faster.

Firstly - Rollerbeetles are the best addition (ableit temp) in a long time. Huge amounts of fun.

Second, I want that pig.

How do you make RPM?

Rubber Banding kingdom in this race too.

I like this event better than Wintersday and Halloween personally.

Rollerbeetle Racing as a perm pvp event would be great!

The ingridents to make the fireworks are logical which I thought was cool, and the quests are short and sweet with decent rewards. This doesn't feel slapped together for Cantha like I'd feared, I love it

Yeah, thanks alot, one of the better ones so far Loving the Rollerbeetle races (hoping to get to the top 100 once).

Unfortunately, you will all hate me for this, but I cannot say thankyou. The first 4 or so were cool but they are simply putting too much into the events and not enough in the game.

I agree. Rollerbeetle racing is quite possibly the best addition to date (imo). Even though I rubberband like crazy throughout the whole thing, I still find it incredibly entertaining.

My pig is cute, too!

WOW.... When did games get so boring for you...

Some Guildies and I found a new use for Paragons.


Warning people of Catapaulted Pigs...

Rollerbeetle Races is better then gw itself, make it an all year game!

Yes, make it a permanent addition and buff the Gamer Points, then MAYBE I'll consider playing the "Who's got the fastest internet/computer race"...

Other than that, the event seems nice. But the race is simlpy not that good for most players.

I dont know what you are talkin about. I LOVE IT!

<3 my hippie rollerbeetle and my miniature pig . They seem a bit small though :S
But I would like a buff to Gamer points as well. I've also experienced lag-spikes during the races, which has rarely happened before. Kinda ruins the experience since I could've won twice so far

/doh 9 wins in a row, does 10 give points toward gladiator?

I love the races. I, too, would like more gamer points though. The races are real fun, and ANet put much effort into every last detail - even the npcs ("The Gooch" cracks me up) are worth a look.
