Guild Wars 2

Can we please be able to disable combat music? It is so annoying and repetitive… The only times when this is acceptable is during meta events. Please implement this! I want to listen to beautiful Guild Wars tunes while I’m bashing mobs!

Yes please. I play GW2 to relax, the combat music stresses me out so much, if it persists for more than 30 seconds I have to relog.

I get combat music only while engaging more than three mobs at once. Is that weird?

I believe it’s supposed to.

The combat music specifically triggers when a number of enemies attack you at once, and indeed I think that it triggers with 3 enemies at once.

As for removing combat music, there could be a way to do it potentially, but I haven’t tried it myself. What one could do to achieve that goal at least for now (until an official in-game option to do that is created, if ever) would be to use the custom playlist feature as an indirect method.

You’d create a playlist named “Battle” (without quotes), and that playlist would only contain one single file. That file would have to be a silent audio file. Then you’d save that playlist to the Music folder, usually located under: » User » Documents » Guild Wars 2 » Music.

The folder itself named “Music” would then contain the playlist that you would have saved in it. The playlist itself should not be inside any sub-folder of its own. Just leave that playlist inside the Music folder itself. Then launch the game, and wait until you battle 3+ mobs at once to see if anything triggers.

It might “trick” the game into constantly trying to seek a track following the silent audio file, without being able to find anything, therefor remaining silent under combat conditions. But this is just a theory I haven’t tested it yet.
