Maybe this thread will be moved to Linksville, maybe not, either way, what music do you guys listen to while slaying the monsters of tyria?
(Please don’t post any troll vids, offensive links, bash on anybody’s musical interests, or just plain old being mean.)
Personally I love listening to the music this guy has compiled, a beautiful mix of classical-dubstep-whateveritis-epicness that’s pretty much captured by the video description on youtube :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4un7Jedpicg
He has multiple other compilations like this, I do not take any credit whatsoever for the youtube video or its contents. If you want to download the songs of his, he has uploaded them here: https://soundcloud.com/versusofficial
Two Steps from Hell, Epic Score, Cliff Lin, and Danny kittene (EDIT: lol.) There’s an entire genre specializing in Epic and High-Fantasy genres. Today is a great era to witness, if you know where to get your fix.
They’re pretty much the only thing that keep me playing, honestly. All great additions to compliment… or create, rather… GW2’s atmosphere.
Mostly to the ingame soundtrack, but if I don’t have to concentrate I listen to Trivium, Rammstein, various titles from other metal bands and Soundtracks of movies or games I like, for example Lord of the Rings or Mirrors Edge.
Mostly the ingame music, but I have a large variety of music at my disposal if I ever opted to listen to something else. What would be entirely dependent on my mood at the time… could be anything from classical (Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto in A Major for example) to “rock” (used loosely considering there are all sorts of ‘rock’ categories). I could be listening to Lady Gaga Applause one minute, and want to listen to FFDP Lift Me Up the next. shrug I’m just odd…
Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Same here, Two steps from hell, Brand X Music, Audiomachine, Liquid Cinema, etc. plus some wonderful ingame tracks, also Hans Zimmer, and maybe I should add John Williams and Danny Elfman too.

I’ve created playlists to interact with the game so my music changes depending on what I’m doing or where I’m at in the game. The playlists pull from many video game (Elder Scrolls, GW1, Final Fantasy, Aion, Fable, EVE, etc) and movie (LotR) soundtracks with a few extras thrown in that I like. To do this, create a playlist using Windows Media Player and save it to your userprofile\My Documents\Guild Wars 2\music\ folder. The playlists have to be named specifically in order for GW2 to recognize them and load them:
battle
bossbattle
ambient
underwater
nighttime
city
There’s one for the opening title screen but I forget what it’s called. There’s also one for crafting but I think that one’s bugged since my crafting list has never played. I’ll doublecheck playlist titles and update my list when I get home tonight.
Edit: The opening title screen playlist name is: MainMenu
It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.
I listen to… strange things. Lately I’m listening to nightcore, touhou remixes, and a few miscellaneous rock albums from bands I’ve never heard of before.
I don’t have opinions. I only have facts I can’t adequately prove.
Wolves In The Throne Room – Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog (the first bit is fairly abrasive, but give it at least ’till 3:00 in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CTu_MhIsGg
AM talk radio, what else is there?!?
er well also SomaFM: space station soma; drone zone; deep space one; def con radio; sonic universe; underground. I have the official app on my N7 <3
Then some of my own original instrument recorded music, mostly kind of like above. Dark ambients, electronic, space music etc.
I like some music from other video games, such as the game “Journey”, some of the diablo and halo music, gears of war 2, etc….. You know what really fits great though is the soundtrack from the movie “Life of Pi”. I haven’t even seen that movie but the soundtrack is great for GW2.
