I am curious, I rather liked this theme in Edge of The Mists, PS: Credit goes to you tuber who posted it, with no commentary, even so, I am curious, is this theme currently in game anywhere besides Edge of the Mists/Escape From LA Ambiance, because Ive never heard it before.

You can hear the music theme in question around 5:40 onwards behind the audio.

I rather like it.

It has a very game of thrones esque atmospheric theme vibe, very sinister, foreshadowing something terrible.

It’s a track that was released with the previous update. I think they didn’t put it on soundcloud.
I summon you, developers. Make it happen!

How could I not hear that during ToN update. Thanks!

It is hard to tell in the vid, but I think it is the Tower of Nightmares theme. which you can find on Soundcloud. https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/guild-wars-2-tower-of

Thanks! That helps a lot, liking the new composer, even if we see a departure from Soule who’s themes are always iconic, the new composer is more engaging, less ambient and more atmospheric which I like.

Yeah I think there was some stuff that went down regarding Soule and his companies failure to deliver GW2 soundtracks to people who had purchased the collectors edition – I could be wrong, but I think they’ve ditched him.

Maclaine is doing an amazing job though, the more recent additions to the soundtrack have a lot more personality to them – I love Soules work for GW1, but his stuff gets really repetitive. The new additions have a lot more personality to them.

Exactly, My biggest issue with Soule is that while you do love that ambient feeling, say, Morrowind from ES, its iconic, but eventually you start hearing themes that sound almost exactly alike.

E.g. Kormirs whispers and Temple of Tyr from NWN, which are almost identical tracks, with very little differences in them.

These new tracks leave a sense of character to events, and id love to see more of this composer in GW2’s future scores.

I’m not necessarily saying I don’t like Soule’s music, hell, the Seraph? I love that track, but I do feel like id like to feel a bit more instruments used in those themes especially in terms of scale.
