Movement/Controls
After learning the three masteries, general movement is controlled by the following default controls:
Unlike most mounts, the Roller Beetle does not have a fixed running movement speed. It has a base movement speed (600 units per second), which is equivalent to that of the Raptor. If the Beetle rolls down a hill or if its primary movement skill is used, it accelerates up to triple its normal speed (1800 units per second). The Roller Beetle can then sustain this higher speed until it rolls up too steep a hill or crashes into terrain, both of which will slow the Beetle down.
- Speed up/Boost
Boosting consumes Endurance, requires a full Endurance bar to activate, and consumes the full bar in a single activation. This ability gives a massive boost to the Beetle's speed and acceleration for 2.5 seconds. When the beetle is first activated,your endurance is set to 0 and takes 12.5s to fully recharge. After boosting, it takes 15 seconds. (12.5 seconds to recharge, 2.5 second cool down while the boost is active where it remains at 0).
- Drift
The second ability does not consume endurance, but can only be used when the Beetle is already rolling faster than its base speed (1000 units per second). When held, this ability significantly reduces the Beetle's traction with the ground, allowing the rider to rotate the Beetle at high speed without changing direction. When the ability is released, traction is restored and the Beetle abruptly changes to the new direction, losing speed proportional to how sharp the resulting turn was.
- Tips to sustain speed
- The Roller Beetle does not have a faster turning rate than other mounts, and unlike other mounts it cannot change directions at all when it is airborne. This combined with its very high speed makes turning difficult. Effective use of the secondary "drift" movement is therefore necessary for maneuvering at speed.
- The beetle is able to "skip" across water if their speed is fast enough. If going at max speed, they will typically be able to skip 3-4 times before falling into the water and dismounting.
- Use natural inclines and bumps as launch ramps to gain the height necessary to cross gaps.
- While doing tricks with the Big Air mastery, endurance will refill at 5 times the normal rate, causing it to fill in approximately 2.5 seconds from 0%.
- Tricks require a minimum of 0.625 seconds to complete. If space is pressed and you land before that time has elapsed, the trick will fail.
- If a trick is failed, you will lose 1/3 of your total endurance.
Notes
- Like the other mounts, it has 3 idle animations, and one of them is always played when it is given a snack.
- The snack animation is a little dance, based on the dance of the rollerbeetles in the original Guild Wars, a little electronic tune will play while it dances. During the dance, the Commander riding the beetle will do a 'raise the roof' dance move with their hands.
- The rollerbeetle looks around and chirps, while the Commander looks into the distance.
- The Commander taps on the rollerbeetle, and when it looks back the Commander gives it a thumbs up, and the rollerbeetle nods.
