FASTCAR.7831 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I literally turned off the game music and most sounds day #1 I got a new sound system, to test it I hooked it to the pc and turned on the sound /music of GW2 WOW, I had idea the time and detail put into the audio on this game.

FASTCAR.7831 Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Been a day now, I had NO idea they put diff music in each zone The time and cash spent on JUST music must be staggering. Sure I will get sick of it, for now loving it =P TY GW2 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FASTCAR.7831 Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 So done with this tread, really enjoyed all the game music ! Again, amazing HQ music.

SlateSloan.3654 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 like that? i specially like „tarir, the forgotten city“ if you want them on vinyl : https://store.iam8bit.com/collections/guildwars2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heraldusluminare.2946 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Agreed. But as a more visual person, I have to say the graphics team also put in a lot of effort too. Have you noticed how even *grass* isn't just a repeated tiled texture? * mind blown * Sorry, had to get that one in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aigleborgne.2981 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Music is from Jeremy Soule, one of the most talented composer in video game industry. Now from my point of vue, gw2 is not the best he has done. Some are great, but I prefer gw1 music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well after 21 MMOs, this one (graphics ) seem average at best for a cartoony style personally I could care less at all about graphics I would rather they spend more time on game play and less on eye candy. 500 Korean games looked great...and stunk I won this gaming machine at work, at the time 4500$ or so, have fast military ( usually) net, 9 ping That said, I run my stuff "best performance" for any combat advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorudo.9054 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 the music it self is nice to listen to, for GW2 it just sucks. the reason why i say this is because most of the tracks are not made for in-game use, maybe as a movie sound track but nowhere near what a game OST should be. the GW1 OST however i the opposite, it fits the environments and tailored made for every map.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted February 27, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted February 27, 2018 It makes me sad when people say they don't listen to the in-game music. It's marvelous -- it so enhances the whole Tyrian experience so much. But hey, that's my personal opinion, and to each their own, eh? As for sound, I marvel at the sound in the game, and how complex and varied and rich it is. We're very fortunate to have such talented musicians and artists on the team!

It also hurts me when I hear somebody's never been listening to GW2 music... I personally bought PoF not because of Mounts, maps, but for the music, I know everyone at Anet is trying their best, but I think the music always stood on the highest level and I was never disappointed by GW2 music. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeBub.9053 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I really like the Music in GW2, same for the first Guild Wars. But if i listened hundreds of times to the same (beautiful) Songs over and over since i play this game (first Beta), even the best composed Song gets boring at some point. Thats why i am glad that GW2 has this neat Custom playlist, where i can place my own songs. Imo this Feature needs much more Recognition because it holds the experience always fresh through variety. Please Anet, make this feature available in the ingame-options, so everyone can notice it.

Some are great, but I prefer gw1 music. Soule only did the launch soundtrack. Living World and both expansions were done by ANet's in-house composers. Honestly, the later music is much better. Soule did great work on GW1, but his GW2 work wasn't on the same par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the music, and I often listen to all 3 soundtracks on youtube while at work, but I have it turned off in game since it only ever seems to play the same handful of songs xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noxin.5602 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Dear ArenaNet, Please update your Soundcloud playlist. I would like to listen to the soundtrack at work as well. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The in-house team have knocked it out of the park ever since Living World launched. Vastly superior to Soule's work on GW2 imo, and instrumental (ha!) in giving the game a much more unique soundscape. I always buy the game/xpac soundtracks and would happily buy some kind of compilation of other Living World tunes if released in similar formats. It's nice that we get the tunes for free on Soundcloud, but it's not my favourite channel for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I wish they'd put the music on CD. I'm old enough to remember why vinyl died and to be appalled it's somehow popular again. I'm also old enough to be confused by having to sort out massive playlists with software. I just want to slide a disk into a slot and hear the music that is on that disk, please!

JackassTheX.6351 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I can barely get through "Fear Not this Night" without shedding a tear or two, it's just something in the melody. The overall soundtrack is epic as well, such great, memorable melodies. I can't imagine doing World Completion without music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a cool boombox though I would love one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
