I REALLY hope not, that will be almost 5 months since ep4 which is basically a content drought.It’s been only since Sept 18th that we got a new map and story episode, a little over 2 months. Cool, Im talking about Jan 7th, which is almost 5 months. That being said iirc Anet commended that episodes would be closer to the 2 month mark.And it’s only been a bit over 2 months since the last one.Also, two months was a goal, not a firm commitment. None the less four months is a good bit wide of their two month goal, if it doesn't come out until January.It would be strange to comment on a two monthly goal if your next episode is planned for four months. Kinda makes the statement seem like pure marketing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gert.7698 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Very unfortunate that so many countries are excluded. There are 51 countries in Europe, of which 28 are members of the EU. Only 6 European countries can participate in the competition. I am also excluded and I find that very unfortunate :'( :'( :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really good to know. :)I saw they were offering the cash alternative to the holiday (probably because so many people can't or won't travel to the USA right now) and I thought that was sensible, but somehow I completely missed it on the car.

So not free.The unlock is free. Actually playing it requires the expansion. What they've done is remove the gem cost of unlocking it after its active period. If you logged in during the episode's release time, you already have the unlock for free anyway. This is for folks that missed that window.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 28, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 28, 2018 This conversation seems to have two topics: (1) Episode 3 and/or roller beetle racing and (2) the sweepstakes and its eligibility. Let's keep with the OP's intentions of discussing the race and how to acquire the episode or a racer.To ask questions or make comments regarding contest eligibility, please see this thread.To read a recent statement on eligibility, please see this post.You can find a response to the request for an eligibility FAQ here.
