Guild Wars 2

So far, only about half-a-dozen tracks are on soundcloud. When will the full OST be available? Theres more than a few great tracks ive heard in HoT that I just can’t find anywhere.

I absolutely love the soundtrack for HoT, I will pay what ever amount it costs for the OST when it’s available. The music to this expansion is just amazing.

I have been enjoying the soundtrack as well and would certainly consider purchasing it if it were made available.

If you check out Evillix’s channel on Youtube, he has uploaded some rips of the Heart of Thorns tracks there. However, he’s stated that the process of doing so takes time so the channel won’t likely have any more music updates anytime soon, but at least the tracks currently in there should act as an appetizer until we get to the main course which is the complete HoT soundtrack. A few of the rips even had likes from lead composer Maclaine Diemer himself as well as got some comments from a few Anet devs who likewise shared their love for the fine work Diemer, Lena Chappelle and Stan LePard had done for the soundtrack!

Speaking of Diemer, he tweeted recently that he can’t wait for us to hear the HoT tracks in proper high fidelity form as SoundCloud has somewhat subpar audio quality which he’s not happy with. Whether this means that more tracks will be uploaded to SoundCloud and made available as high fidelity downloads or if some other type of release (like a physical/digital soundtrack) is in the works remains to be seen, though.

Based on Diemer’s comments from earlier, Heart of Thorns has about 2 hours of new orchestral music in addition to previous orchestral and sampled tracks from Living World seasons 1 and 2 and likely even some new, sampled HoT tracks. I look forward to eventually hearing the HoT soundtrack in its entirety and hopefully in high fidelity (although I’d be happy with 320kbps mp3 files too for convenience’s sake).

I’m glad to hear others here feel the same way; the composers truly poured their hearts into these tracks and use many interwoven themes in them to establish musical continuity for Tyria, and they deserve all the praise they can get for it.
