Guild Wars 2

Apologies if this has been suggested before (also, I have no idea where to post a suggestion since apparently the forum has been shuffled to hell and back).

The gem store instruments are notoriously difficult to use, especially given the note cooldowns and inevitable latency lag.

Using macros is quite rightly disallowed.

So what about selling us an instrument that, when double clicked, opens up a menu with the ability to equip a series of notes of various lengths, or type in musical notations – something along those lines. With a preview button, and finally a play button which, when clicked, plays the song for others to hear then puts the instrument away.

Basically a legal, ingame harmless macro for those of us musically inclined.

Using macros for instruments is allowed.

Oh, wow. Okay, thanks!

I’d rather just see .abc support.

I know this is not what you are looking for, but since you seem to love the ability to play your instrument. I want to link this to you so you can at least look at it.

Overwolf is an overlay system that recently was introduced via Teamspeak. Overwolf has lots of apps for GW2 that will allow overlays in game. Even Anet sponsored a design contest for people to come up with new app ideas.

Anyway to the meat of the matter, this app has the ability to load sheet music into it then display the notes to play in game for thousands of songs and since it will overlay the sheet music will be in front of you while you are playing.

note you do have to install Overwolf and then you can download the app though the appstore.
