Guild Wars 2

A-net implemented the ability to change the music of certain things IN GAME. I feel stupid for not knowing about this sooner LOL. There’s something EPIC about going into a “Boss Fight”, and having Rob Zombies song “SuperBeast” Start up

yes, truely a great feature

I… I wasn’t aware of this. This is awesome and right down my street.

Mind…blown. This is by far the best piece of information I’ve found on these forums thus far. Totally aside form gear, game mechanics, graphics, or anything else, this just makes the game more fun and customized at a base level. Bravo ANet.

Now to figure out how to make the Zoidberg sound play when my Guardian uses ‘Retreat’.

Yes you put the song from Star Trek of Kirk fighting Spock during boss fights.

Is it possible to give a certain boss his own song ? I would really like to fight Jormag while Howl of the Departed is playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vbsI9xFuo8 but don’t want to hear it at every boss battle… And would love to give the map its own music aswell http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_ncZLzfVAU.

I’m pretty sure it’s a global file. i.e. “Boss”, “Battle”, etc.

So I don’t think you can give individual songs for every boss. I think I heard that you can put a few songs in it and it would randomly cycle through them. Not 100% sure on that though.

Brilliant!!! Saved it as my “BossBattle” playlist – can’t wait to try it out!

Since M3U files are specifically designed to create ordered playlists, I’d assume that if you had multiple files in the list, they’d play in the order that they appear in the M3U file. Can someone confirm?

No, it’s actually random

Pretty much a must for BossBattle.
