The Bells! Good and bad
In lotro people made scripts to play songs using the instruments in the game. I hope they add a lot more of them in this game and make them cheaper.
In Final Fantasy XI, Bards had ability to play their instruments with the number keys..
It was enjoyable when they had actually practiced playing songs.
I’d welcome guitars/lutes/DRUMS etc. in GW2 as well. with a mute option.
at least aion made sure the piano was far far away from anyone
I really like the bells, but I also really liked the music from LOTRO too. I kind wish getting an unbreakable bell was a little easier than hoping for a random drop.

Oooh, if there’s script to play the full version of “Fear Not This Night” using any musical instrument in the game, I’d buy for sure xD
I want to play the full version of that song using the bell, but I’m not sure if the bell notes can cover the entire notes. ^^;;;
Hopefully, someone with lots of bells can try to play it to see if the bell’s range is wide enough to cover the range in full version ^^v

I hope they make the bells permanent, i’m having so much fun. Personal best is 578 so far. How do you get the playable bells? Does it work like in the mini-game?

To bad the piano is the only positive thing in aion.
Gonna have to look the song up and I’ll try. I got a permanent one. _
And damn, I’M LOVING IT!
If it comes to people who are willingly bothering others: Ignorance is a good way to make them shut up or move to another area, soon they’ll be bored of that.
I’d wish for a removal of the timelimit you have to play the permanent one. It makes no sense. With or without it you are possibly able to bother others, but without it you’re able to play much better and without haste. ^^
In another thread I already wrote, more instruments would be great, even on the Gemstore. We could make bands and play in the cities, or just for our own, for friends… for roleplay events…
I loved this feature in LotRO, although I like playing it by myself much better than using scripts. No need for them at all. Again I beg of Anet to remove the timelimit, other than the the bell is the BEST wintersday-gift I got so far. I’m really happy with it.
I tried to hide somewhere in the grove for practising yesterday, to not bother all the people in the bank area, but what should I say? It didn’t take long until I got a LOT of listeners in front of me, cheering. Along with my festive golem it felt like a little stage. We had a great time out there yesterday, THIS are the moments I like best on wintersday and the game itself.
It’s not about killing all and everything, but about stopping by, have a look, a chat, make friends and just have fun, and THEN go out to kill stuff or explore something.
And the bell is the better way to enjoy the little toilette-breaks during a dungeon than costume-fights, even if they’re funny though. xD
wrote down a theme for silent night on the bell choir:
6763
6763
228 116
77186763
77187673
got this far.. didn’t have time to complete it.. will update when i get around to the bells again ^^
happy wintersday y’all!
I like the whole bell choir concept but the keys to play music feel awkward to use on my keyboard and I can’t get anything done.
Eight fingers on eight keys really close to each other don’t feel exactly like playing a piano.
All right… as for “Fear not this Night”, I’ve looked the song up by now.
I fear it be impossible to play the full version. Not because of the range, but because of all those half-tones, but well… I’ll still try it later on.
But this time I’ll hide away in n solo-instance for practising I think. xD
Edit: Ewww grammar… ^^"
What scale do the bells use? I hear them only in the minigame and it’s hard for me to make out among all the other sounds.
