Hi, I just bought the harp to keep me busy during the long and uneventful pvp queue times. I was wondering what songs people have learned to play that dont require macros?

On a side note: is using a macro for playing the harp bannable? i mean its just a toy. I dont really want to macro because whats the fun in that, but itd be cool to be able to not get carpal tunnel and be able to play a song in game.

Anet’s policy on macros is one keystroke for one action. That means you can macro “Ctrl+T” into one macro skill for targeting, but you can’t “115qe623” for skill combo.

As for songs…well…I’ve never heard of anyone getting banned for using macros to play music.

But you can play music without macros. It’s not easy.

They’ve given the okay to music macros. And only music macros. They can’t/don’t endorse any third party programs, but they’ve stated they won’t ban people for using music-making macros because it offers no tangible advantage in the same way that an auto-clicker or skill/selling macro does.

You can use Macros for playing Toys.. its fine
in fact most people use them these days..

a lot of songs are flat out impossible to play without them due to the speed required to chance between high – med – low while maintaining a stable tune

when you see people playing just click on their character and watch the little box flashing rapidly between colours and you will know its a Macro straight away

you can learn to play some songs without them but depending on the complexity of the song it can be either tricky or stupidly hard

I myself can play LoTr theme, Lugias Song, Eponas Song, Song of Storms, Elderscrolls theme, Fear Not This Night
all those I got online that other people had discovered
I also know Metal Gear Solid 2’s main theme and Final Fantasy 10’s Main theme which I discovered myself a while ago.. although both are unfinished
I dunno if anyone else has managed to FF10’s theme but I’ve seen a couple of Macros for MGS.. but at least I take some pleasure in knowing that I found it a while before the Macro was created ^^

with the new Bass Guitar though im gonna look into seeing if I can learn some Metal riffs for it XD

Check out Guild Wars 2 Music Box if you want some really awesome AHK scripts for songs. Harp is one of the most popular ones people write song scripts for, too.

Resident smug Englishman on the NA servers, just because.
