Guild Wars 2

Hi, I know this thread is a couple months old, but I wanted to post an update to remind the devs that the tanks are still unusable.

I was, however, able the beat the quest after a few tries by shooting the rock-throwing giants with the mortars. Hope that helps anyone else who is stuck.

To those of you who have received things other than ugly clothes and snowflakes from your gifts – could you give us an estimate of how many big/personalized gifts you had to open before you got something rare?

Depends on which Bells were used in GW2 in recording this event. I am just trying to find the song pattern or similar to it.

Yep that’s what I’m trying to figure out, too. I think it’s in the key of C because I’m able to play ‘mary had a little lamb’, ‘twinkle twinkle little star’, and ‘chopsticks’ lol

I’ve gotten an orichalcum recipe from a large wintersday gift, or whatever the highest rank one is. According to devs it’s also possible to get the skin recipes that you can purchase for sweaters and whatnot as well, but the chances are most likely very low.

Dang, from the big gift? Maybe I should do the jumping puzzle more. I really wanna get some cool stuff from the gift boxes and the ‘personalized’ ones have only given me ugly clothes so far

Shadowlancer.7102:

Bells in the GW2 Winter event have a Upper (High Note), Middle (Normal Note), and Lower (Low Note) for a single player to choose during the contest.

No, what I mean is: if the bells were a piano, they would be all white keys… right?

I think the bells are in the key of C

Am I correct? (I’m not a big music person)

I’ve opened around 50-60 personalized gifts so far (because the bell choir game is really fun) and I haven’t gotten anything besides ugly socks/sweaters/hats and snowflakes, so I’m pretty sure that’s all they drop.

Anyone gotten anything good from the big wintersday gifts?

Is there a difference between the big wintersday gifts and the personalized wintersday gifts?

I know the big wintersday gifts come from the jumping puzzle and the regifting vendor, and the personalized gifts come from the bell choir and snowball fight, but do they drop different things? All I’ve gotten from either of them is ugly sweaters/socks/hats.

I just recently completed a perfect run of the middle part.

When the note comes into contact with or crosses the blue, you’ll see it disappear and leave behind a small white flash. During that small white flash is when you should be hitting the note.

I agree with you. I spent about an hour playing it tonight and hitting it during the white flash while it’s disappearing works the best. Also trying to feel the groove helps a lot, if that even makes sense.

I found that the best timing is to hit the note right when it gets to the spot in the blue where it disappears. Also it helps to start tapping your feet to the metronome before the song starts and try to get in the groove. I’ve noticed a few times I’ll be bobbing my head by the end of the songs, and those are the times I’ve gotten the highest score lol

Has anyone mastered this yet?

Are we supposed to hit the note right as it’s entering the blue zone, as it’s disappearing, or somewhere in between there? Perhaps it’s lag that makes it difficult? I used to be good at guitar hero :P

Anyone got any tips?
