Guild Wars 2

skill 1 is D or Re and skill 7 is C or Do.

skill 8 is obviously D or Re.

it’s a major scale that starts with Re and ends with Re.

But the description says skill 1 is Do and skill 8 is Do.

Regards,

that actually makes it kinda funny so i say keep it the way it is

so only people who are not tone deaf can play ’Twinkle twinkle little star" or “Do a deer a female deer” song?

that works too lol.

but it’s obviously a bug, unless A.NET is Christmas Trolling.

and please a.net extend the duration of the choir bells to 5 hours because im trying to learn how to play Canon in D major. Unbreakable Choir Bells are 58g.

It’s not a major scale. I don’t know exactly what kind of scale it is, but certainly not the normal do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do scale.

And actually, skill 3 is Do.

Former music major, here to help.

First of all, “scales” is somewhat misleading, as what most people refer to as “major” or “minor” scales (and think that’s all there is) are actually just two of seven “modes”. Your typical major scale (C to C on the white notes of a piano) is called the Ionian mode. The minor scale (A to A on the white notes of a piano) is called the Aeolian mode. If Penatbater is correct, the bells would be set up on an Aeolian mode, which they were not; while I didn’t pay it much notice to figure out exactly which mode, off of memory I’d say that Alcopaul is correct, and the bell is using a mode running from D to D on the white notes of a piano. This is called the Dorian mode, and is essentially a minor scale with a raised sixth scale degree, meaning that the typical chord progressions in that key include a major IV chord rather than a minor iv chord. It’s commonly used in Celtic and other folk music and is one of the better known modes. I’ll go log in right now and check the bells to ensure I’ve got all that right, but I think it is indeed the Dorian mode.

EDIT: Tested, Dorian is correct. If anyone has further questions about this, feel free to ask me; might as well put 4 otherwise wasted semesters of Music Theory to use.

Maybe its capoed.

lol of course it’s not like a piano scale. They have to include the notes used by the game music and are only allowed 8 of them. If they made a strict Do Re Mi… it would sound totally wrong.

But if you do 7-1-2-3-4-5-6-7, it’s the major Do Re Mi scale.

Re to re is actually the Dorian church mode, which happens to be what the Guild Wars theme is written in :P It’s the same as a natural minor scale with a raised 6th degree, so it doesn’t sound as sad Used a lot to imitate Medieval or Celtic folk music.

EDIT: Woops, seems I made an echo, sorry Orrian

But the description is wrong. it says 1-8 is Do to Do, not Re to Re.

Ah, sorry bout that. But here’s why:

They use movable Do solfege where Do is the tonic no matter the major scale degree.
As the sixth scale degree is raised in Dorian, the correct name should be “Li” not “La” and the 7th (“Ti”) should be “Te”. There’s their mistake.

:)

EDIT: So I finally checked it out – they got the 7th degree right, but “Me” for the third degree isn’t standard. It’s always been “Mi” regardless if it’s a major or minor third in my experience.

It should read do re MI fa sol LI te do.
