Guild Wars 2

Im aware that you can use the instruments from the gem store inside of World Wars,

but one thing no one seems to know is.
" Can the instruments be heard from the opposing team?"

^ the reason i ask is because i think it would be pretty Intimidating to have a big Zerg, with a bunch of War Horn instruments blowing one deep Tune in unison as they approach a kingdom,

^ or if a scout sees someone, he can sound his horn

This is all to add to the feel of a Real Old Age- War… but is it Possible?

[Tl;DR]

" CAN THE INSTRUMENTS BE HEARD FROM THE OPPOSING TEAM/ZERG?"

and still no one answers the question

I have no definite answer, but I would assume they could, as they can see tonics and other aesthetic things.

though don’t take for granted that they can hear you, even if it is possible. a large group of mmo players (me included) don’t play with sound on (or in my case, I have it low enough that i can just barely hear it, in case i need to focus on shouts or something

I love pulling out a war drum while running with the zerg.

IM A BARD kitten

Still Looking for a real answer!

But to the guy above me, which one seems more appropriate for a Zerg? a Horn or a Drum?

I think the attitude of most WvW players is that, if they see players playing drums instead of stacking might, they’re going to mark those drum-players as easy kills and will bumrush them for bags.

^ yup, They probably would. But who cares what other people think if you’re enjoying the game

…STILL looking for a REAL answer!

Come on guys.. if you know something Contribute to the forums.

Hmm. Maybe we should have real war instruments that would boost the morale (give boons). I think that would be very neat. And for this the bagpipes somene suggested in another thread would be amazing.

Even if they can, the instruments have a fairly limited range and a lot of people run with the instrument volume turned off.

I prefer the war drum cause you can spam the bass and it sounds like a menacing war hymn LOL

Thanks The Normal Person, i assume thats the closest I’m gonna get !

I’m sure they can hear it IF any players is dumb enough to have the Instrument sounds actually enabled….sorry to all you wanna be musicians, but your in-game hobby is simply horrifically annoying to most players….
