That Jackal mini dungeon in Crystal Oasis was so cool. Wish we could have more things like that instead of... random race tracks cluttering old maps.

Is this one of those posts about „I‘m not having fun, so you shouldn’t have fun, too“?
Rollerbeetle races were a thing in GW1, so it’s not that ‚random‘. Also, other mounts have plenty of races and adventures in the desert.
Intensely dislike? No.
Apathy? Yes.
Apathy? Yes.
This. I couldn't give shit about racing any mounts.
In the mean time, over in WvW? <crickets>

be careful what you ask for, you might just get it points to various threads bitching about the rune/sigil salvaging/crafting changes
im totally on board with activities for mounts, but like what are you gonna do for bunny? Jump up the side of this obscenely high cliff? Then Griffon race from the top of that? then have a windy random jackal portal maze ? Then have a race that is all leaps over long distances so raptor has something? then finish off with a time trail to run away from everything behind you because it is now consumed by more explosions then a Michael bay movie? All of these ofc have a timer individually or a timer for doing them all back to back.
srsly tho we started with races across the desert maps, then we finished pof story and got access to the challenges for the griffon for flying thru check points. So creating activities/events for the mounts in the order that you unlock them is not a thing. Try and enjoy the beetle races because they are cool and fun and challenging and competitive pretty much something for everyone.
tbh all those ideas sound better than beetles to me. I honestly don't find them fun.
what dont you like about the beetle? is it a skill thing with the drifting (i suck at that still) or what? personally i dislike how the beetle starts with zero stamina aside from that its alright imo.
No your not. I would like races for other mounts too.
It's just that beetles and griffons are the only mounts you really can do something with, since they are so fast-paced that you have to really focus to control them. On the other mounts you just keep spamming your ability and that's it.
That said, a real labyrinth of some sort for the jackal could have some potential, but still, it would be a one time thing, since you probably can't really save much time by getting a better control over your jackal.
Jackal mini dungeon in Crystal Oasis
there is one? remind me.
Sanctum of Nabkha but it's easier to cheese with a griffon flying straight to the reward chests.
It's on the eastern side of the map, there's a mastery point and a griffon egg in it. A jackal portal puzzle basically.
That is a bit misleading. The mastery point isn't really inside the puzzle and the griffon egg can be reached with the temporary griffon.
have all the mp's and a griffon, must not realized it was a mini-dungeon back then.
The adventure in the latest LS by the mushrooms where made for the jackal.
run around for no reason? really? I didn’t get that that was for jackal.
The race tracks aren't cluttering anything, considering they don't actually affect the appearance/physical composition of the map in any way, aside from a merchant or two.
