Guild Wars 2

The addition of the personal choir bell/unbreakable choir bell instrument makes me very happy!

I would like to suggest, if possible, a musician like system for future instruments;
The current method feels to have a slight delay in timing ,making it hard to have any sort of rhythm or structure to melodies. This would make impossible to play in harmony in a band/group like setting.
Here are some ideas:( to be honest most all notes taken from LOTROs musical system)

-More diverse instruments, (extra octave ranges)
-Ability to auto play fluid music from a text musical file in the gw2 directory, maybe using a “/play songname1” like command
-Have the ability to use /play* to play different parts of a song in sync with others, like the /dance* command to dance in sync.

If something like this,or more, could be implemented, it would bring lots of people together to play and hold small concert like gatherings Also add lots of life into the game

Hi,

I wanted to post this up and give a reference to Lotro, but you beat me to it.
I played Lotro from the Beta and one of the fun things about Lotro was that people started to make bands and actually gave away shows in towns which was pretty awesome to attend.

One more suggestions: Add a volume slider in the option menu, so that people who do not want to listen to music from players can turn it down.

Thank you Vrede, That is exactly what I was referring to!
I’m not one to usually suggest copying, but in this case… Please do Anet!!

It would add wonders!

I just wanted to add that I too find this a great suggestion. I spent sooo much time playing around with the .abc files in LotRO, and have wondered why no other MMO before or since have had a similar system.
Though I don’t hold much hope. I rarely see it getting suggested as a feature, and few people seem to miss it. Sad, really, since it allows players to aid in the atmospherics.
