Guild Wars 2

Hello, I am a big fan of the custom playlists that GW2 can use to play music you set it to depending on the circumstances in the game. What I like to do, is fill the Battle and BossBattle playlists with monster hunter music which makes the World Boss fights epic. The thing I find strange is that there is no playlist option on the wiki for victory. I know Guild Wars plays some sort of victory track when you kill a world boss, why can we not use a custom playlist to change it? We can for defeated, why not victory?

I have tried making playlists named Victory and Victorious and putting them in the correct folder, but those do not work, which I imagine is why they are not on the wiki.

Does anyone know a way around this? Is someone at Anet nice enough to offer an answer to why they decided to leave it out, or if they will patch it in eventually? (obviously its not a high priority though)

thanks

Having more Options for playlists surely would be awesome.

Options like this:

• Ambient = when no other Criteria is fulfilled
• Danger = when you are nearly dead (not defeated), or when dangerous situations occur around you
• Main Screen/Login = when you login to the game and select your characters
• City = in racial cities and outposts
• Home = in your personal Home Instance
• Dungeons/Fractals = in Dungeons and Fractals of the Mist
• Guild Hall = in your Guild Hall
• Guild Missions = when you Start a Guild Mission or when you participate at one of an other Guild
• Battle = when you battle something
• Boss Battle = when you battle World Bosses or Bosses in Dungeons
• Defeated/Dead = when you get defeated or killed
• Victory = when you are victorious after a Battle
• Victory Boss = when you are victorious after a Boss Battle
• Activities = in Activity Instances, like Keg Brawl, Sanctum Sprint ect.
• Adventures = when you activate an Adventure
• Nighttime = when it is Night
• Underwater = once you go into Water and dive down.
• PvP = when you go into the PvP Lobby and play PvP
• WvW = when you go into WvW

If ANet would improve the playlist Options to this, I’m pretty sure, that alot of more people would like to use Custom Playlists then.

The more options there we get, so better it will be for the whole game and its something, that really shouldn’t be hard to improve to add in that Custom Playlist Folder just more options for us.
It would be a small QoL improvement with just a huge awesome positive effect for all of us.

What an excellent suggestion! Orpheal’s list is pretty awesome, but I have a few additions:

Areas: Kryta, Ascalon, Shiverpeaks and Maguuma all have music specific to the areas (as idle interludes). Orr and Maguuma Wastes could also be added under this sub-heading.

Having options for cutscenes and PS would also be pretty neat. (One of my favourite pieces from GW2 is actually played during cutscenes and PS. Can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s staccato strings- reminds me of people tip-toeing around and being all sneaky.)

Vistas often have their own music too. An instrumenal version of “Fear not this night” seems to be pretty common at least in Caledon forest- I wonder if the music chosen for a vista is dependent on the area the vista is within.

yes, all those would be awesome, I was just wondering why they didn’t have a victory one from the start if it clearly plays victory music when you beat a world boss and it also has the option to make a playlist for defeat lol
