I can't say that I am a fan of the sounds and music in games. Usually I just turn the sound down and play my own music. From what I was reading from arenanet about the sounds and their excitement to immerse the players in it, I am thinking I will be playen this one with the sound up. The videos do show it off so I hope it's like that in the game as well. My only gripe is some of the cheesy one liners. I hope they have either the option to shut your avatar up, or have a lot of variety in what your character says when doing the same skill.
HERE COME THE FLAMES! LOL!
Well if you look at my post history you'll see that I am following this game heavily and I am a big fan of what I am seeing. So I wasn't sayen anything bad, just throwing my lil bit of input. Hope you didn't think I was bashing it cause youd be verry mistaken.
No, you didn't get it?!?!? Haha. Here's what you need to do. Go to the elemental page on the website and click the Phoenix skill...
"Everyone dies. It is how one lives that matters." Artemis Entreri (R.A. Salvatore)
"P.S. MAKE NO DEALS WITH THE WOLF." -Durzo Blint-
"But, there is one they fear.
In their tongue, he is Dovahkiin -- Dragonborn!" -Game of the Century-
I am not sure what you are trying to prove? I stated a small complaint while phrazing it as a question. I have seen the videos many times. But to try to see what you meant I went and watched the video again. It was impressive sound and he had his lil one liner. Your point was..........

I was making fun of the one-liner in the video, Bro! Listen more closely this time....

HAHAHA..... um yeah my apologies. I see you knew what I was talking about then lol. It's not a game breaker or anything. But could you imagine hearing that everytime the spell was cast? Like Ironfungas said maybe they are just for show. Even if they said them rarely it wouldn't be soo bad. I really thought you meant I was gonna get flamed -.- Bottom line is the sound is just one of the many things that are maken this game great.

Haha! I knew you'd laugh. When I first watched that video, that line made me frown a bit at first. But yeah, Arenanet is promising that we won't hear the one liners anywhere near as often as we heard them in the videos. Thats a little comforting at least.
HERE COMES THE INSULTS AND DISAGREEMENTS!!!

Originally posted by Uzleb Scroll down a bit and you'll see some small audio slider bars. You'll see the title "Close your eyes and open your ears" Very good introduction to the background sounds and a good sample of the sound quality you can expect to hear in GW2
i agree with the sound fanatics here, one of the biggest game breakers or savers for that matter is sound, I just hope that its well implemented. For example, if the environment is dark and eerie id want to here screams that echo, If its a town id want to here chatter, almost drowning all other sounds.

i dont think screams will be happening... but really in a dark and scary place i find that silence is the best. its unsettleing
Then I WILL be a GW2 player in a heartbeat. I don't think I've heard such awesome sound editing in a game to date. Anyone know if these vids have been doctored or if that is the REAL sound that will assail my ears as I play the game?
I'm a sound junkie, so this is important. I'll sometimes hop on certain classes in certain games just to hear certain sound effects. Like the Loremaster in Lotro, when it sucks power from enemies. I love that base thrum/draw sound.
After some helpful folks down below showed me "the way" to hyperlink, here are links to what I'm talking about.
On these first 4, scroll down a bit to the embedded video and select each skill to see them in action. Pay careful attention to the SOUND detail in each. I advise jacking up the volume, as if you were watching a movie.
If those are ingame sounds then it truely will rock.... These ingame sound effects are way more important then ingame music.... I just hope that those aren't remixed sounds added for these clips..
Sadly with all background noise we can't use the Gamescom video's as a real soundrefference.
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
I agree with the OP about being a sound guy ... the game so far looks and sounds fantastic. I am very eagerly awaiting the release of this game.
I recently purchased guild wars 1 just to do the story lines and such in prep for guild wars 2. Again like many of you all this game is looking to be a lot of fun.
Impressive. Those sounds were well thought out. I planned on rolling a Charr for my first character but after hearing this makes me want to play human and experience this first!
Playing now: Cities: Skyline / Ori and the Blind Forest / Banished

Holy crap! Thank you for this. I was on the fence but now, I'm completely over it and about a mile further down the road thanks to this vid. I wanted to get in the game right there and move that camera back a bit but man I was so immersed and I wasn't even playing. The sound effects...wow. The sprinkler system event, the sound of the water as it went by. Just amazing.
You hear the captain shouting commands "take down those hands first" while attacking the Elemental.... The only thing missing is the smell of battle and the taste of blood....

OMG donoro....if you don't post this 50 minutes video in its own thread soon, I'm going to do it! This is what everyone has been waiting for...unhindered by a dev's voice, full sound and music in all its glory....this deserves its own discussion!

Agreed! I was almost going to edit my own original post just to tout that vid, lol, but I still wanted people to converse about the sound quality and how it will be a boon to the game.

The A-Net persons voice does hinder it a bit though.

With the in-game sound directly recorded from the demo-PC.

that's nice I can't even watch that 50 minute ranger video, without the video stopping at about 5 minutes...
A shame I really been wanting to see the ranger in action.
