Guild Wars 2

Ken.9018:

The Horn’s in E major, I wish ANET would release an instrument that’s in minor, maybe a cello or a violin?

Why not fully chromatic instruments? Would save me lots of bother altering the pitch of my recordings…

Bump. Some kind of explanation/timeframe would be awesome here, since I’m waiting on this at the moment to possibly use in a music video I have in the works.

Is this horn going to be buyable/earnable within the next week?

Kraag Deadsoul.2789:

1) Zerg builds catapults out of range of arrow cart fire to bring down the wall. SMART.

2) Zerg keeps its members in check, stopping them from approaching the wall prior to breaching, thus keeping them out of arrow cart range. SMART.

3) Zerg masses around its catapult(s) to keep them safe from counter-attack. SMART.

4) Zerg fails to destroy the defenders’ arrow carts with treb fire (there’s a reason Swirling Winds was nerfed). DUMB.

5) Wall breach occurs and zerg trusts to human wave tactics against defenders who possess superior fire power and hold the high ground. DUMB.

Also, it’s not one player wiping the zerg. There are multiple arrow carts in that tower firing at the breach. That zerg would have won if they had built a single treb to take out those arrow carts. They didn’t. They wiped. Time to change tactics. Adapt or die.

Listen to yourself. You’re calling everything involving use of siege smart, and anything involving players actually trying to achieve something themselves – without siege weaponry – dumb.

Do you think WvW is supposed to revolve entirely around the use of siege, and that players builds, abilities and so forth are supposed to be used only as tools to carry supply and finally stand in a circle to capture a keep after siege has done all the work? I was under the evidently false impression that siege was supposed to be a sideshow in WvW, not the main event.

Plenty of people defending AC, saying it’s ok because it has counters and so on. They’re right, technically – it does have counters; but that doesn’t make the buff ok.

If you want to turn WvW into a prettier version of rock paper scissors where the players themselves spend hours of their playtime standing around waiting for the two or three people on the trebuchets to destroy all the enemy siege, then sure. ACs will certainly force this kind of game.

ACs are now a hard counter to players and groups of all professions, builds, organisation levels and skill levels. You can’t fight in them, you can’t stand in them whilst using a ram, you can’t use Golems in them. The only answer is to go get longer ranged siege of your own. No thanks.

I signed up to have fights with players, players who do interesting, inventive things; not to be a mobile supply depot for the escalating formulaic siege wars going on all over the map.

Endemonadia.8593:

Although that brings up another issue… does anyone in RG speak French?

Yep. Several French players, some other non-French players that speak it fluently, and then varying degrees of ability in other people right down to the people who don’t speak a word of it.

Endemonadia.8593:

It looks like SFR has fallen apart and we wonder just how much RG had to do with that… maybe nothing, maybe everything. But leaving a realm when things get a little difficult… isnt that what u did to Piken?

1) SFR hasn’t really “fallen apart”. No disagreements between anyone in the community or anything. A lot of guilds just got annoyed by the influx of players when SFR had free transfers, which means guilds can’t get into zones anymore; as well as the constant skill lag in big fights making things unplayable. Quite a few guilds left because of this, some guilds didn’t. Simple as that. Everyone is fine with everyone else’s decisions as far as I’m aware. No drama.

2) We left Piken because we wanted to go up in tier to have more challenging fights, primarily against desolation guilds. A lot of Piken guilds wanted to drop a tier or stay where we were. That’s why left. Not sure what you mean about “getting difficult,” because Piken was talking about staying in the same tier or even choosing to drop.

Endemonadia.8593:

Maybe its just that when Piken fell apart a couple of months ago its that RG was seen as a major contributer to that. All of the guilds who stayed and rebuilt Piken deserve all of the credit for that rebuilding. Consequently some of us dont like seeing RG benefit from our current strength due to them being part of the original problem.

Piken “fell apart” because alot of the guilds had different opinions on where it should go. RG and a few others wanted to go to T2, possibly even T1 ultimately, and a lot of others didn’t. That’s basically all it boiled down to. Because of that there was lots of fun drama, and ultimately Piken decided not to push upwards, so we left.

Doesn’t look like anyone actually fell apart though, since Piken look to be doing fine where they intended to be playing. What rebuilding did you need to do?

Endemonadia.8593:

I dont care much about RG, we all know theyll move on shortly, but i do care about any forthcoming community divisions, divisions which tend to follow RG about…

Piken is also the only server we’ve ever been on where we’ve been even a part of “community division”. You may recall we weren’t the only people involved in the division on Piken anyway. Everywhere else we’ve played on has been just fine with us playing there, and subsequently leaving.

You seem like you’re getting a lot of your opinions about RG from what other people have said on the forums. Maybe it would help if you actually formed your own opinion of us based on how we actually act ourselves, instead of just blindly repeating what other people have said, like you seem to be doing now.

Endemonadia.8593:

U came here to try to embarress Piken, no more no less. Its a move fully based on ego and we are happy to prove we are not as easy as u think. We will continue to ruin your fun whenever we can find u on the map. Our fun is stopping your fun

Oh and good luck finding help from AR, they only know how to blob, and theyre bigger than ours! lol

No, we didn’t go to AR to embarrass Piken. No one in the guild would transfer anywhere for that reason. RG want good fights; Piken and Baruch Bay have several solid guilds (as well as decent sized groups of decent pugs) that offer difficult but not impossible fights pretty much every night.

So stop trying to prove you’re not easy – we know you’re not, that’s why we’re here.

(Mainly posting to get the little reply icon in the WvW forum on this thread, but the point stands)

Pryda.8257:

No one is actually playing tpvp in RG

Lies. A few of us did the monthly recently.

There isn’t really a small man WvW group scene out there at the moment, for a variety of reasons. The players at scales of 5v5 – 10v10 tend to be in SPvP.

The major WvW guilds will run maybe 20-30 players on average. If you want to compare the fighting skills of the best WvW guilds, you’ve got to set up fights at scales they’re comfortable with, and the lowest common denominator seems to be around 25v25. Plenty of GvG fights at around this scale have already happened, organised between guilds.

Like it or not, there’s not many people running in WvW in small (5-10 man) groups. Most either solo, zerg or play in an organised large scale guild.

Israel.7056:

I just can’t get into these sorts of videos. You guys should do some 5v5s I think that would be more fun to watch.

People aren’t having these fights to entertain others. They’re for fun, and they are fun. Videos get released after the event because there are people out there that do enjoy watching this sort of thing. Also, both sides involved in the fight can watch and see what they did right/wrong.

For those that prefer 5v5, you’re in luck, because Arenanet kind of made a whole game type just for you. Plenty of videos of that out there if you prefer.

Offski.4897:

I’ll explain the poor tactics, if I was in your position I would be trying to get everyone on my server to focus vizunah. I don’t mind as we are just trying to find good fights. This was impossible last night, especially against Mos as we could not use even one skill against them due to ridiculous lag.

Genev.2450:

People should go in the Desolation area of EB some more… “Oh, hey, we have all the usual there, means we have people doing kitten to keep it that way…. Or not.”

…What do you want us to do???!?

I’m trying my hardest to keep everyone happy, but sometimes I feel like no one appreciates my hard work.

Deniara Devious.3948:

I used to have very high respect towards Red Guard [RG], when I was on Blacktide. Now seeing them play exactly like French PUGs against us with [VG] and using cheap professions like thief, mesmer etc. and getting beaten by just a dozen Desolation guys. I was like what had happened to RG style. It looked now like VS style!! Well, lots of loot bags for us. Finally endless SFR zergs got us while I was salvaging my full bags from loot.

Just so you know, RG didn’t really have a raid out tonight. Sacrx wasn’t online, so although a few players went out and played a bit, but there wasn’t really anything official going on. You might have seen some RG players leading pugs, playing solo, or grouped up together or something, but tonight doesn’t represent our normal way of playing. We’re just out trying to be somewhat useful to the server when our leader and half the guild are offline.

salluks.6017:

i don’t mean to offend you, a big fan actually, i just meant your play style is more focused towards actual fights rather than the points game that others guilds play,
which is actually a good thing,. you should know what am talking about( hint: our opponents have been VS for a while now).

Not offended in the slightest, don’t worry – I’m just a bit confused about how everyone seems to be saying we don’t cap much/at all. Sure, you won’t catch us sitting on Trebs in Durios taking down SM walls, but we still take plenty of objectives.

salluks.6017:

I dont know much about TUP, but i can tell you, not having red guard will not be as big a deal as u make out to be, they have moved so many servers, and i really doubt that any server would actually lose a lit without them.

they are an open field guild, they cannot help u with points, which WvW is about.

i dont think you will fall below tier 3 in any case.

Someday I’m gonna make a video of a nights worth of RG objective capping or something. Not sure where the “RG don’t cap points” thing came from, but it’s not true. Lately we’ve been capping a tonne of stuff during our raids. Sure, we find capping pretty tedious, but that doesn’t mean we don’t do it.

Also, really don’t see why this thread got posted. Can’t Piken drama stay in the Piken forums?

Wizardauz.3761:

Next time….

Do a GvG….. Underwater.

Now that would be intestesting and a challenge.

WHO IS THE BEST UNDERWATER GUILD?!

We did, against siN – one fight at the end of our conventional GvG. Was…interesting.

Should be a video up somewhere.

Edit: Beaten to it kitten you, Intigo.

Oozo.7856:

I guarantee you that there are people in 30man teams that mouseclick abilities and/or don’t get the most out of their abilities. They can hide in the larger numbers but they would be quickly exposed in a 5v5.

In any fairly even GvG fight, you should expect to at some point be in a tricky spot. Whether you’re stunned, pulled into the enemy, cut off from your leader with CC or whatever, if you’re in a fight against a solid guild, something like this is going to happen at least once. For your guild to win, you need to know how to get out of those situations alive. You might have a very short time to react, since the enemy can take someone from 100% to downed in under a second. You need to react to the danger, escape it, and get back to your job as quickly as possible.

People “hiding” in larger numbers will get found out in no time when facing a solid guild in GvG. They die right at the beginning of the fight, precisely because all they can do is follow the leader. The moment the enemy stops them from doing that, they’ve got no answers. Just one of these players can cost a guild a victory, in a sufficiently tight match.

salluks.6017:

didnt EMP lose 5-0 against Votf?

proof here
http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/80025-tier-1-gvg-emptsym-hb-votf/

fivekiller did say “on Jade Quarry” to be fair. So yeah, Votf beat them convincingly, but they don’t play on JQ, so…

That doesn’t answer why “best guild on JQ” is relevant to the thread, but, eh.

earendil.1290:

Noone mentioned War Machine…

This game sooo needs GvG. But we all know it won’t happen.

Which is why we make it for ourselves. Not as convenient, sure, but it’s still fun.

covenn.7165:

That’s too bad. Given the praise your guild is getting, I would have loved to fight you to see where we stand. Come back to NA T1 pls

What guild are you in? I thought we’d had some fights with pretty much every medium-large guild while we were over there. Unless you’re from SoR?

As for a return to NA, don’t think it’s likely in the short term at least. Long term, who knows…but right now I think we’re settled on Piken, as far as I’m aware.

Maybe we’ll go over again in the future, maybe not…we’ll see.

covenn.7165:

Wait, Redguard is on JQ? My mistake! How have I not seen them in the past two weeks?

Red Guard aren’t on JQ anymore. We were over there for one week, then went back to Piken Square just before the free transfers ended.

Foddzy.6291:

AOE target limits are slipshod and arbitrary, they should be totally removed and replaced with dynamic scaling: i.e. an AOE damage spell will do less damage to each target affected as more targets are hit, but the spell will still hit all the targets. Simple and straightforward does it best.

This would just result in everyone turtling again, to spread the incoming damage across as large a number of people as possible, rendering it ineffective.

Dastion.3106:

Yea, I know different professions and all of that… But veil just seems so weak.

As a skill for a solo mesmer, you’re quite right. Try using veil as part of a decent size organised group sometime.

I’d really appreciate this one being fixed soonish, as I want to use this organ in another one of my videos .

Using the underwater one forces me to deal with that horrible underwater bubbling sound effect, which isn’t fun.

Alternatively, you could just make the actual sound effects for the ingame instruments available – that’d save me an awful headache.

Sigmatics.7056:

Really nice post! Though I still found one mistake: You will not roam astray. She most certainly doesn’t say go here.

I’m pretty confident it is “go”, though the sound is sort of elongated. “Roam” would sound wrong at any rate; it doesn’t really fit into the line right.

Forestgreen.7981:

I am so glad you posted this video to just show how poor of sportsman you are. This is what RG is all about, abusing whatever they can and everything they can to win. Culling is already an issue and your guild goes ahead to make sure to use the AC potion to make sure you stay even longer invisible on top of mesmer stealth veil! You’re guild’s amazing because you make sure your enemies never see you and never will because you’ll abusing every bit of what culling it has to offer.

RG has no strategy just a giant culling abusing zerg.

Everyone always talks about how everyone’s using AC potion to make culling last longer, not sure why. I think it’s because they can’t figure out why we do use them, and just jump to the first (dumb) conclusion they come up with. Here’s a hint for you. Yes, we use the potions for a reason. No, that reason isn’t to lengthen culling time. Plenty of people have figured out why we do it in the past, it’s not all that tricky.

You’ll also have noticed (ah, who am I kidding, you won’t have) that we didn’t use veil in a fair few of the fights in the video, and still killed stuff. Veil helps, but we don’t need it.

Bankzilla.2984:

RG had more than 15 because when they wanted GvG with TSym they were fielding 25

Our numbers built up over the week – at the start we only had 12 out at any one time, when we wanted GvG with TSym we had 23, and I think we ran almost 30 on reset. The video has clips from pretty much all parts of the week, so there’s varying numbers in it.

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

Okay, now tell us?

I think when guild tags start surfacing and being spotted on servers people will find out where each Piken guild has gone. Until then;

Theagenes.7403:

Patience is a virtue.

sostronk.8167:

Did EU prime just finish? Oceanic Prime starting in a few hours. Come on work finish!

EU prime finished hours ago technically, but RG only just finished. So many awesome fights, we just couldn’t force ourselves to log out.

Well, that’s not strictly true. Most of us tried to log, but Sacrx wouldn’t let us :|

Tajz.9826:

Their 15man is quite strong. You just need to have a bit more number than them and be note to spread out, dont cluster. Cluster vs Cluster you’re going to die because their team heavily stack with proper classes and spec with all the time buffs for every players. Just spread out, try to CC their group and AoE em from range.

But yea they’re very hard group to deal with and very mobile around the open field. Kudos to their teamwork.

Sadly we’re missing a fair few players at the moment. Sure, we can do stuff with 15, but we’re struggling because some are unable to transfer. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to see us running with close to full effectiveness sometime this week.

Some nice GvG fights with HB just now.

Thanks a lot to you all, and thanks to the spectators for staying out as always.

Myrmidone.4362:

Greetings from Riverside, we will face you tonight enjoyed our Fights in the past.
Now it seems many former Blacktide Guilds joined Piken and our matchup will have less fun.
Hopefully it will not destroy your fine and quality wv3 com.
These Grasshoppers are a really plague for all of us.

Greetings Myrmi

I think you’ll have less trouble than you expect. Half the guilds have trouble getting raids into zones together, and that’s the strength of Piken. If our core guilds aren’t able to get out to fight, we have trouble getting points. The more people that come to the server, the less well we do, really.

As for the “quality wv3 com” you’re right to worry. I can feel it’s getting a bit sour already.

So, as some of you will have seen, I make strange, time consuming arrangements of songs using the instruments (choir bells, pipe organ) in GW2 and stick ‘em up on youtube. It’s pretty cool.

However, there are problems with the sounds of the instruments. Well, not the sounds themselves, but with recording the sounds.

1) The Choir Bell has the weapon swing sound seemingly permanently attached to it, which has a big effect on the sound quality of any music produced with it.

2) Using the Choir Bell also prompts the characters to make combat sounds like grunts on some uses. I can edit these uses out, but it takes time and is frankly annoying.

3) The underwater organ in Caledon Forest cannot have its sound separated from the environmental water ambience, due to it being on the same slider. This again greatly disrupts music produced using the instrument. I would love to use the Ebonhawke organ instead, but this one is bugged, and cannot be interacted with.

Does anyone know of any way these 3 mentioned problems can be worked around, or is there any other way I/the community in general can be able to hear the unobscured sound of the GW2 instruments?

A few people have asked for a mp3 version of this, so I’ve uploaded it to soundcloud:

https://soundcloud.com/hecksa/still-alive-a-guild-wars-2

It should be downloadable from there, but not having used soundcloud before I can’t guarantee it. Hopefully it’s all ok. Sadly not having the video as a distraction does draw attention to the pops/crackles, but..eh…you asked for it.

Karizee.8076:

That is amazing!

Is that the underwater organ in Caledon Forest?

Yep, Caledon Forest indeed. I wanted to use the one in Ebonhawke to avoid the underwater sound effects, but it’s bugged at the moment

Hi there. You may remember me as the guy who did a cover of Billie Jean on the choir bells a while back. Well, I enjoyed myself so much making that, I couldn’t stop myself doing another. This time, I got a bit more adventurous:

http://youtu.be/bd3wtXJmOhQ

This is a cover of “Still Alive” from portal, using only the instruments available in GW2 (Yes, the organ too!). However, this time I allowed myself a fully chromatic scale, which I made by editing the pitch of some of the available notes. This lets me play absolutely anything on the bells and organ, which is great.

For those interested, I got through somewhere around 40 bells in the creation of this video, mostly due to recording at tonnes of locations before picking the clips I liked best. Doing these is beginning to get expensive! Recording all the parts probably took about 3-4 hours in total, spread over a period of several days. Sound + Video editing to pull everything together took…a long time. A long, long time. Way longer than Billie Jean.

Once again, thanks to Arenanet for making this possible, and also to Jonathan Coulton and Valve for creating Still Alive, a great song to work on.

Awesome fights, great video.

I’d also like to point out I was totally the last RG player alive when we wiped. Just sayin’ – the rest of you clearly suck.

Might as well contribute to the “How big is your schlossen?” thread. Answer: Relatively small.

Esoteric.5490:

Well, with 13.7k kills in WvW and 700 hours just in WvW, I better have that many. I’m disappointed that more don’t drop especially since I play a warrior so I can’t get as many tags in large fights as Eles or Necros. It’s shameful how the tagging system works because great support guardians get hosed with the drops.

Yeah, the tagging system is massively biased in the favour of heavy aoe dpsers at the moment, really hoping they do something about that in February, if not before.

You should up the kill rate, though – I’ve only got 400 WvW hours and I’m almost at 22k kills, and that’s way behind the rate of a lot of people I know. Playing on Mesmer does make getting the tags hard, though.

To give an actual number, I have around 2k badges at the moment, since I spent all the ones I had saved just after fractals came out…a bit foolish, now I think about it.

Raincrow.1840:

It’s 12 people killing 20+ people within seconds. That’s not concentrated fire, that’s spamming AOE combos on people who are dead before they can react.

No, it’s not 12 people killing 20+ within “seconds”. In the first clip, they kill maybe 10 within the first 5 seconds of the fight, the vast majority of which had enough time to dodge away in, if they had been paying attention. Following that, the zerg starts to spread out and VOTF’s kill rate slows greatly. Many players in the zerg escape to the tower.

Time to Kill may be too short in GW2, or it may not – that’s debatable. But it’s irrelevant here. Supposed you put some change or other in that made it take an average of 5s longer to kill a player 1v1, if they weren’t defending themselves at all. That’s all well and good, but it would barely affect VOTF in this situation. With 12 people beating on that one guy, the 5s increase ends up giving the zerg less than 0.5s extra to get away.That isn’t going to help. Ok then, make it take 10s longer to kill someone 1v1? Nope, you’re still increasing VOTF’s kill time by less than a second. How much do you want to increase the ttk by? Do you want 1v1’s to take a month?

You should really watch some proper guild vs guild fights sometime, so you can see how little “who can land the combo first” actually matters when you’re fighting against people who know where their dodge key is.

Absconditus.6804:

I really wish the Unbreakable Choir Bell wouldn’t time out like the regular Choir Bells. It’d be more of a convenience thing that it would just stay active for as long as we want it there of course, but we can just re-summon it right away after all. And the way that it times out can really break up your experimentation and song playing. It makes sense for the consumable item that breaks, but to me, not so much for one that’s permanent.

Don’t use the unbreakable bell for experimentation, use a piano and then convert it to bell-speak. So much more convenient.

Here’s an online piano:
http://method-behind-the-music.com/piano

D on piano = 1 on the bells, the octaves are pretty irrelevant on the whole. Every white note is playable on the bells, none of the black notes are. Pretty simple really. Allows much faster experimentation, for me at least.

Hey, I’m the guy that made this. I should clarify, it was just me, not a group of people – I used multiple characters to make the separation between parts more clear.

SolarNova.1052:

For what we have available in terms of instrument ..that was good.
Its a shame it was made via video editing and hot actually played alltogether in game ..but that would be next to impossible anyway.

Ssshhh, don’t give it away! :P

Seriously though, most of the parts can be played live, and I have done (far too many times), but I found it really hard to get chances to play them without someone else interrupting the recording playing some random stuff on another part. So yeah, I ended up editing the whole thing together from the individual notes instead.

And yes, the bells aren’t exactly the perfect instrument for the song, and the woosh sounds do suck, but eh, what can you do.

Sahfur.5612:

Also, pleeeeeeaaaaaase post the rest of the portal theme song. Thats amazingly fun to play as an asura with a golem following.

Portal is a tricky one I’m afraid – lots of weird notes that aren’t playable and so forth. You’ll have to wait for arenanet to give us more notes to get a full version that sounds right.

No worries at all, your post was entirely understandable.

Yep, I pretty much agree, I hate the wooshing sound that’s in there, and I’m not a huge fan of the bell sound either, but you’ve gotta work with what’s available, and sadly that’s all we’ve got right now, at least until Arenanet roll out more instruments (nudge nudge).

yurtshone.7325:

I loved the edit, very well done.
However I did not like the noise, I had to stop it 2 mins in.
Why people venerate MJ is still beyond me. The fact he was a pedophile and was very, very disturbed mentally puts me right off.

I sure as hell don’t venerate him. I like some of his music, my views on him as a person are irrelevant anyway.

And yeah, fair enough if you weren’t a fan of the music. Was it my particular cover, or do you just not like the song? I know the “woosh” sound after every note is annoying (sadly unavoidable) but I thought that otherwise it sounded ok.

Ardenwolfe.8590:

You guys should get a freakin’ achievement for this!

Just to clarify, because a few people have said “You guys” – I’m only one guy; the various characters were just used to make things look a bit less repetitive and help people distinguish the parts that were being played.

Would have been nice to have a team though…maybe I could do the fun creative composing side, and other people could do the mindless repetitive part. Sounds like a plan to me.

To be honest, I complain about missing notes and so on, but it’s very possible to make stuff with the Bell Choir.

Some further development would be cool, but I’d be happy if there was just some way for those of us without unbreakable bells to make things outside of the Wintersday event.

Otherwise I won’t be able to make any more of these until next year…

DanteZero.9736:

Play Zanarkand (Final fantasy 10) or Still Alive (Portal)! (Please??)

Wish I had time to do all the requests people are putting through! Some awesome ideas, I really like the idea of doing Still Alive sometime.

Sadly these things take a lot of time, and I really should be revising around now…but I definitely want to do more in the future.

Fyrebrand.4859:

Amazing job, dude! Nice playing, and nice video too! :-)

Hmm, I never noticed that “whosh” sound before, sort of like when you throw an axe — do you get that sound effect every time you swing the bell? ANet should definitely considered removing that.

Yeah, I didn’t notice it until I started putting all the recordings together. The dev who designed the bell choir wanted to get rid of it, but they weren’t able to do it in time for the event, so it had to stay

ThiBash.5634:

Wow, that’s just…wow. :-)

From the few tries I did, I think Let Me Entertain You may also be possible…any chance you could record it?

From a quick check, yes it probably is possible, though it’s not in the Dorian mode so it’s not technically in the key of the bell choir.

I don’t have any plans to do any more right at this moment because I’ve got exams coming up in January so I really should be revising, but I sure as hell enjoyed making this one, so I’d love to make more sometime in the future when I’m more free. Maybe using some other instrument (nudge nudge, arenanet).

MrMacAndCheese.3907:

I don’t know Dorian scale, but can’t you get like an A, B, C? or C, D, something?

I know only need like the same three notes to play Louie Louie, some Creedance….

Technically it’s not as bad as I make out – the dorian scale is D to D with no accidentals, think D to D using white notes on a piano. This effectively means you can pretend it’s C major and get all the pieces that are in that key…but I didn’t want to go that route. Also, since each part in the bell choir is D-D, it felt wrong to start using other notes in one part, so…eh. I just kinda went with it.

Doggie.3184:

Wow.. Think Anet needs to mail out one of those unbreakable bells to you if you don’t already have one. .-.

Would have been awesome if I’d had one of those before I made the video. There’s only so many times I can deal with someone interrupting my recording session on the Bell choir with random notespam…

Yamiino.1827:

Lol, nice xD you must have a lot of free time xP

Actually I really don’t. I did this mostly in the time I should have been doing my final year project for University…Got quite a fun amount of work to catch up on now :\

So, I couldn’t stop myself seeing what was possible with the notes we were given for bell choir. Turns out, since we got a dorian scale, things are a little trickier. Billie Jean is about the only well known song around that is written in the dorian mode. So, I pulled out a piano arrangement, adapted it to fit for handbells, stripped out all the notes that the Bell Choir can’t play, and then started work.

Thanks to Arenanet for the awesome minigame that made this possible. Next time, maybe we can get a few more notes? Just throwing it out there…

Reacting.6180:

I’m disapointed on how badly you guys take our good start … Was kinda hoping for better fairplay from you..
WvW is a 24/7 game, either you like it as it is or you don’t..
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game” seems fit as a quote.

Don’t generalise so much. Plenty of us have never cared about score, merely about fights. So long as BT stays in T1, I’m more than happy – the fights from SFR have been great so far.

Complaining at the people who are all mad that you have numbers, a better nightcap force, or whatever they’re qqing about is just a waste of time. Maybe they’re wrong, maybe they’re right, but patronising them isn’t gonna make them shut up. If you’re interested in good fights and reasonable discussion with people, then just pretend the others don’t exist.
