Guild Wars 2

Taikanaru.5746:

I’ve been looking forward to the day when we can finally play music. And it’s finally here.

Just one problem, I will probably never get the unbreakable choir bell as it is very rare and the TP cost is way out of my league. So I fear all this fun will be over once this Wintersday ends, at least for a while. I’m hoping this is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come.

I tried a one-time choir bell which disappeared on me way too soon. Seems it also lacked some polish as it was making unwanted sound effects coming from the player’s mouth and hand movements.

Switching between octaves is still a bit clunky. Maybe give instruments their own set of hotkeys, so the entire keyboard is available for notes, this way switching octaves wouldn’t even be necessary. Alternatively use F1-4 for switching octaves and possibly give an option for triggering octave for when the button is held down.

Alternative: buy 1,000 temp bells (they are cheap).
I kinda doubt you will be able to burn through 1,000 bells in a year.

I hate this event! I don’t know how to play it. Someone on a different forum posted how to play it, but I curse AN for not having a tutorial on how to play.

Indeed, that does seem like a good alternative, except that re-using a bell every 2 minutes is distracting. I would also need more than 1000 bells as 33 hours worth of bells wouldn’t last long.

Regardless, I’m going to keep scoring 600’s in the Choir Bell Ensemble as well as speed-running the Jumping Puzzle and hope I get an Unbreakable one.

I have faith in Arenanet and hope that new and improved instruments will be available for all in the future. I’d love to have a piano or an organ in my future house with my beautiful future lesbian wife and future adopted kids while sitting around our future table eating a delicious future meal together with our future fireplace warming us up and giving us light in the otherwise dark room.

The first time I tried it I didn’t get a single note and left quickly. I tried it again today and once I got to start from the beginning and played for a while I got much better and got both achievements. Plus I had a lot of fun with it.

I’d love a permanent mini game like this year round.
