Guild Wars 2

Before I get into this, I want to note that the following suggestions are EXTREMELY unimportant in the grand scheme of things. There are so many other suggestions/bugs/issues that affect a much larger subset of humans that should be prioritized above the following suggestion…

That being said, I think that there are a lot of potential improvements regarding the customization of the in-game music. What we’ve been given so far is an absolutely appropriate and satisfactory option in the mean time (the adding of a playlist via folder etc.), but it can absolutely go so much deeper than that.

We all love Jeremy Soule.

It’s just a fact. I personally have had a mad man crush on him since 2005 when I first started playing Guild Wars 1. That continued as I discovered all of his music from the Elder Scrolls games (Oblivion, Morrowwind, Syrim, etc.) and has escalated even more with the launch of GW2 a month ago.

All I want is a way to play this music as it’s appropriate by race.

I find myself identifying certain songs as appropriate by race and I think that this should be implemented in-game via making race specific folders. Example:

CharrAmbient
CharrBattle
CharrBossBattle
etc.

That way, as i’m running around as my Charr, those playlists will activate for me. I think this would be exponentially easier than creating a specific list per map…which would just be completely illogical to try and maintain.

Thoughts?

Also, would it be feasible to get a list of the default setup of those folders? I.E. which songs from both GW1 and GW2 play in the Ambient, Nighttime, Underwater folders that come with GW2 out of the box?

This has been suggested some many times, I really hope this is implemented. The current playlists are too generalised.
