Guild Wars 2

The octave issue is fixed, but there are some problems that are still preventing possibilities that were available before the update; a lot of TABs are obsolete with these as well.

1) The Horn and Flute do not play quick successive notes on the same skill anymore.

2) The “0” (stop) skill on the Flute is now way too long (like a second) from what it was before and makes it impossible for one to play quick melodies cleaning up between — have to wait for the CD to finish on it. Could you please shorten the cool-down of the “0” skill to be as short as the Harp please? This might be fixed if it has the same CD as the note skills as they were before — if those were sped up to allow playing successively on the same skill, CD would follow?

Thanks BTW for the enhancements of the last update, liking them a lot.

I got a new movie creation program that allows split-screens, will help me get a lot of my 2+ player TABs out. When recording split-screen I basically record the first part, then the second part while I listen to the first on my Ipod. Video editing simply just lines the two together — everything is playable in-game!

Just started noticing this — when two players play their instruments in sync, notes (especially in chords) are being cancelled out (not from skill recharge). This is a little saddening for those playing duets. I have recorded lots of duets in the past without running into this problem. Other players I know have been running into this as well.

The following link is a video taken featuring Harp and Lute playing the same chord (Middle Octave: 1358) together. Enough chords make it together (lol) to hear the cancellation. Easier to hear it near the end:

Much appreciated if someone could take a gander at this, thank you!
Cheers!

Colin dropped your name — it got picked up. As a thank you for your hard work, you are now immortalized in (original) song!

Disney song from Beauty and the Beast this time around from Musical Necromancy. I started the YouTube channel to really explore what us players can “actually” do manually on the in-game instruments — there is a lot we can do!

TABS are linked under the video description. Everything I play is without macros or using musicbox.

If you like playing the instruments of GW2 check out some of the song covers and notations here at Musical Necromancy:

http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFS-MUip4PdlfsfLUJugMLg

I am a pianist and try to include as much as possible in my song covers. Requests are welcome — time allowing and if they are feasible, I’ll post them up. I also street perform by Dwayna’s statue in Divinity’s Reach — if you catch me on, perhaps we can jam together!

Cheers!

My cover of Claude Debussy’s ‘Clair de Lune’ for GW2 Harp:

I created the YouTube channel ‘Musical Necromancy’ to share my song covers and notation. I sometimes street perform by the Statue of Dwayna in Divinity’s Reach. Perhaps we can jam together some time.

Cheers!

GW2 would benefit in…

1) Doing more to distinguish individual Professions besides Race.
2) Revamping a clear and distinguishable cross-profession skill combination system.
3) Revamping the core DE and Heart Quest systems in PvE (always felt the core of this could have gone a lot further than Anet took it.)

I have to say, great job ANet in directing the whole community to play together by how these Living Story events function. Having everything spread around the map, and changing in stages is the direction I pictured the concept of " a Living World" fore GW2 before release.

digiowl.9620:

except there is no way to go directly to the list and check your next step. Watch a step, and you’re taken to the watched list on click. Click the living story notice and you end up in the queen’s speech list.

This would be nice to have.

Kudos for better layout in the Achievements of this Living Story. I am talking specifically about the Emissary Vorpp’s Field Assistant line.

Having the Achievement categories “appear and present themselves” as you progress through the story brings a sense of direction I have missed in past Living Story patches. Please keep and expand upon this idea. It feels more inclusive for me as a player rather then doing a bunch of random stuff — that I know is related, but still feels a little random.

:)

First off, thank you so much for the Wallet!

Suggestions:

Currency is something I do not really associate with the Hero Panel more than I do the Inventory Panel. The Wallet functions across characters anyway from the Inventory — having it open in the Hero Panel feels a little excessive and bulky.

SEPARATE SMALL UI WALLET WINDOW
It would be nice to see a smaller separate display UI window for the Wallet by taking it out of the Hero Panel, and accessing it only from the Inventory UI.

a)
This display would be the same (if not smaller) size than the Inventory UI itself — and would have the ability to be pulled to different sizes. This display would feel “minimal, clean, and quick” like an actual wallet. It would feel more like Inventory.

b)
This display would only be accessed through the Inventory “+”. Once you opened up the Wallet from the Inventory with “+”, it would change to a “-” so you could quickly close it again (besides having the close option in the Wallet UI itself — going further, can also allow a Hot Key for the Wallet).

c)
This window would have customization options (i.e., Small icons, Large icons, List format, Type format, etc.)

CMEPTb.8091:

Kiel is actually a physical avatar of Kormir to turn heroes away from the Abaddon Fractal so Kormir can retain her deserved godhood.

*Un*deserved godhood.

You were expecting that you yourself would become the god instead? How on earth lore wise would that work out?

Sarcasm never works out.

Kiel is actually a physical avatar of Kormir to turn heroes away from the Abaddon Fractal so Kormir can retain her deserved godhood.

Drmcninja.5926:

I personally wanted Evon to win because Abaddon! But the reactor sounds cool too, and the low waypoint costs are a win for my wallet, so I can’t really complain about kiel

Haha. A literal win for your hero’s “wallet”.

I like this game. Hopefully I get a precursor drop before the new crafting update comes. What is everyone else hopeful for?

Martin Kerstein.3071:

People here at the studio where as passionate about this as you folks, so we had both Kiel and Gnashblade supporters. I for example play a charr, so I was obviously on #TeamGnashblade.

How much does it hurt Martin? (softer voice) How much… does… it hurt?

I myself didn’t know my Necromancer had a heart, until I felt the pain of defeat that was today.

If it involves the Gods, it certainly won’t involve Abaddon! Lol. I don’t think the Gods will have anything to do with it though.

I am a little interested in what “madness” turned that fractal upside down.

The letter bummed me out as well. Fortunately I got another informing me that my undead minion pet — Mr. Stinky — had died. That cheered me up a little.

/sarcasm

….

Joking aside, I am bummed, but lets see where ANet takes all this.

Caledore.6271:

Kudos, it’s nice to see one positive and gracious post in the sea of rage and hate.

It’s called the “Sea of Sorrows” for a reason :p

The more fractals the better — I’d like to see the Abaddon one made as well.

Still a safeguard in the private “guild bank”.

I think it would be helpful to include a Detailed Checklist for some Achievements. (i.e., Dungeon Achievements would keep track what paths you have already done; not that you need so many left).

This of course would not work for explorable titles (would spoil the purpose of the achievement) like Been There Done That or Dive Master, etc.

I like that idea RyuDragnier, of scaling loot as you progress through the dungeon. Skipping to the last boss, and just getting what you would have earned at the beginning would certainly fix skipping some content.

Having both a Wallet and Bank is an impossibility:
Martin Kerstein —

It is not as simple as having both, it is something that is within the code and the interaction of multiple different elements of the game. So it might look like an easy thing on the outside – under the hood there is a lot of programming magic going on. So if you need to have a bankspace to protect yourself from – well – yourself, you have to use the “individual guild” route.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/jubilee/Token-Wallet-Thank-you-a-net/page/5

ANet is taking the practical route of the Wallet — thank you! The safeguard issue can still be had through a personal Guild Bank. Perhaps more of a hassle, but the option is still there. The only other safeguard option I would propose would be to have a “Are you sure you want to place your order” message, but that would really slow down the market.

Duke Darkwood.4237:

Will those of us just short of 200 gold be taunted by the removal of the Golden achievement, leaving those with that title to gloat?

I would not put it past ANet to simply bring the title from the Bank to the Wallet.

I got heckled one day in LA via PM for wearing a Gnash badge. ;_;

Stop the hate! Gnash will bring the love. We all like love. Vote Gnash!

Another fun new mini-game, gg ANet. Survival needs some tweaking though.

I “Dwyana” <3 this game. Hit it out of the park ANet, gg.

The kites are just wonderful — thank you for the inclusion of them in the Bazaar of the Four Winds.

Would be awesome to have a Kite Wars mini-game.

Skills could include:
-Really quickly letting the string out to let your kite quickly rise up out of an attack
-Dive bombing other kites
-Entangling the string

etc. — main focus would be to knock your challengers kite to the ground. The life bar of each person could represent how strong or frayed their kite string is.

Perhaps, like when you learn different skills in Belcher’s you can acquire kites for battle that do different things.

Great job on the Flute ANet! I love how you try to get each instrument to feel how they work a little in RL.

Way quicker reaction time than the Choir Bell and Trumpet. Slight delay hitting the first note (activating the Flute) going into the second note, but overall wonderful addition to the game!

“Concerning Hobbits” on the Flute

Hey!

Making music is fun. I created the YouTube Channel ‘MusicalNecromancy’ to provide music tutorials in playing all GW2 in-game instruments, songs, and requests.

Check out my channel — Subscribe to get updates on future song tutorials when they go live. Give questions, requests, reply videos, etc. — I’ll be happy to get back to you.

Right now I have tutorials in the Choir Bell and Marriner’s Horn. The Underwater and Pipe Organs will be coming in the near future!
