The December rewards for my patreons are now out! Thank you to everyone for the amazing support, it’s been a great first couple of months. Like seriously thank you, it’s incredible to be able support myself like this <3

Roller Beetle racing is coming (very) soon

Starting tomorrow, you can take your beetle to the races–five new permanent tracks are coming to Tyria! 

Tropic Valley Raceway begins near Proxemics Lab Waypoint and runs all around the edges of Brisban Wildlands. You’ll need both speed and stamina to make it to the finish line. (Moderator’s note: Watch out for the many roots.)

Ghostfire Run starts near Nageling Waypoint. It’s a pleasant jaunt across Diessa Plateau, with challenging twists and jumps through fields, farms, and haunted ruins. (Moderator’s note: This one is very pretty, but it seems rude to do tricks in haunted places.)

Jormag’s Fang kicks off just south of Torstvedt Homestead Waypoint in Snowden Drifts. It doesn’t take long to complete a lap around this course…as long as you can handle the sharp turns with razor-fine precision. (Moderator’s note: I was not allowed to name this one “Jormag’s Hangnail.”)

Lakeside Loop starts near Provern Shore Waypoint in Gendarran Fields and winds along the shores of Lake Gendarr. Skim over the water at high speed if you don’t want to get soaked. (Moderator’s note: Centaurs suck.)

Infernal Leap begins on the shore below Avernan Waypoint in Mount Maelstrom. This course will lead you on a treacherous path straight into the heart of the volcano, and you’ll need to pull off a daring lava leap to make it out the other side. (Moderator’s note: It is very hard not to hit the outcropping where the vista is, both mechanically and because it looks sick if you bounce off it.)

If you don’t have a roller beetle, you can rent one at the racetrack!

Keen rewards

Competing in races earns you Racing Medallions, which you can exchange for endless transformation tonics, racing gear, and a mini roller beetle. Dailies are available for a limited time so you can stock up on medallions.

WvW guildie: is being passive-aggressive about all those “lab rats” in our WvW guild while hbl needs help

Me: silently assumes the lab rat is me, shrugs it off, leaves lab after getting mere 150-200 bags, opens them
