I started to play the game for a month ago, and I truly enjoy it:) I will be honest and say I am not so much into dungeons and questing with others, as I am a explorer and like to do things on my own pace But I like the feeling to be in a guild for social reasons and I sometimes like to join social lighthearted events.
I used to be a roleplayer in another game I played, but at the moment a social guild is more suitable as i cannot invest so much time into the gaming anymore.
I guess I look for quite a mature guild, that is casual/social and just focus on having fun, That also have a healthy view on that RL must comes first
I don’t look for a guild where there is high expectations on members joining regulary groupevents or have strict rules of amount of time you need to be online.
Not sure if a guild like that exist:D but I will try <3
While it’s considered acceptable to use a script to playing music in the game, you have to understand the point of view of the people who play music without scripts. These people put in a lot of time to learn how to play the instruments in game and also a lot of time converting music to tabs for those instruments. While it’s nice that everyone has the ability to play their instruments well, even if not everyone is musically inclined, it’s still somewhat insulting to the people who genuinely learned how to play when you use a script.
You should be playing the game for one purpose: to have fun. And you should be able to have fun as you like. But when your idea of fun steps and spits on others’ idea of fun, that’s when I have a problem. And people who use scripts for in-game songs tend to stray into that territory.
Aye I understand:) I would never claim I was realtime playing when I am not.. Perhaps the game should add some differences in the animations (when the scores is visually showing) Like have hollow scores when you use Macro and whole scores when you realtime playing.. Then it would be more obvious who is doing what.. I don’t know.
In my case I was open about I was using script; I thought I provided something else as I used some time transcribing an original song that I have, which I have used much time to create and make it work with a script. But this person were fixed on the fact I was using script and said I was lazy and had no musical bone. I do come from games were scripts are acceptable, hence I was quickly thinkin that I did something wrong as I haven’t been in this game for a long time I do not wanna step on anyones toes. Thats why I wanted to hear here to get an overall impression what people think
I like it when a game have many social tools (like musicsystem) I use it more as an dooropener to get to know people:)
Being a musician as well (singer/songwriter), I understand the “unnatural” feeling in regards to the instruments. I have too much trouble with the latency to actually play my harp, even just for S&G.
You’ll get trolled/hate from unexpected places online, but Arenanet have stated that it is ok to use macros in regards to playing instruments, as stated above. Just /block and keep on playing.
Thank you Lana !! I will continue play indeed) Aye, I figured out his hatred may not have anything to do with me or whether I was playing my own song by script. But a overall view that he dislike people doing macros
Thank you Aerinndis) I shall ignore such comments in future! I use lot of time with my music indeed, but I also love playing games.. so when I heard is a musicsystem I couldnt resist trying But I will continue and have fun with it. Thanks for encouraging feedback <3
Thank you so much guys. Yes is my own song and I was a little proud I could make a script out of it..:) so I showed it to friends, and then I got this bad comment from someone.
Glad I am not doing something wrong. guess I should have just ignored. but is not always easy!
Thanks Elden: I do agree with you. Even if I perform in RL, it is a skill to perform ingame on the buttons aswell (and I don’t do that so well):) I just got a little upset by the comment.. But I get over it Thanks
Sorry if this topic has been talked about many times before.
I got a very unpleasant comment today. Someone actually told me I was lazy and had no musical bone since I used script when I played music. I am fairly new to this game and coming from games that using scripts to play songs. I saw someone playing the harp the other day and I found a good site and followed a guide how to create songs from ASCII/ABC codes. I am a musican in RL (composer and performer) so I wanted to try to make a script of one of my songs. For me it feels not naturally for me to push the ingame music buttons. ( I do praise people doing it though, don’t get me wrong).
But I do like to play music ingame for the immersion and it’s a nice way to engage into conversation with other people socially.
What is the overall view on this? Is it considered a bad thing to play with Autohotscript? or is it accepted by many?
I guess I spoiled with that it was quite acceptable in other games, but the customs might be different here.
