Are.1326 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This is probably my favorite event of all time. Any chances for other band events to apear around Tyria? Maybe a Techno event in Rata Sum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkilian.1854 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 It's not directly Metal Legion related, but it's something about another notable musician in the game, Scout Acan. We can hear him play in Verdant Brink and plays very cool and relaxing songs. He's one of my favourite NPCs without any doubt. Also, recently ArenaKeenan shared a link on reddit of that contains part of one of Acan's songs. It was really cool to see.My question is, is there any chance we can get guitar tabs of some (or all!) of Acan's songs for us who are not good enough to figure them out?Thank you!

LumpOfCole.4701 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Will the success of this event inspire more race concert events? Asura EDM concert when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 ONE CHARR METAL LEGION ENCORE.No words, that event is just so great, we need that band as a festival. They should come with us during Halloween, I'm sure they have song for thorn.No, more seriously, Almorra Soulkeeper missed an opportunity, a song with your name you can't miss that. I can see her cheering taking some vodka and doing the mosh pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenheart.8935 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Will Metal Legion do concerts for other events? Maybe seasonal festivals? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugo.4705 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Yeay why not adding some band in each racial city? We could even have more instruments like drumkit or synthetizer even a piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenheart.8935 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Also please can we get all 3 tracks with vocals on Soundcloud? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perilisk.1874 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Well -- obvious question: were there some specific real-world bands that were used as inspiration for ML? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMPI.4013 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Could we get them to play in LA there's already a stage there. Let's turn LA into a real hotspot, kind of like the real life one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b k.1648 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 How did you decide on the specific metal genre for the songs that Metal Legion would play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invidia.9074 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Seeing the obvious popularity of the Metal Legion, are you planning to introduce more songs into their repertoire over time to evolve the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaa.2943 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Please please show us a behind the voice clip. I would love to see them when making the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlakThornArrow.2389 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 One question only: Will they have a Tour? if possible make it an event to collect each band members signature and have a nice reward at the end? One city a month / week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I have to chime in here and say that this is probably the most universally liked part of the new Living Story per players ingame.I only have one question regarding the actual Metal Legion idea : what was the inspiration for each song?P.S. Looking forward to an asura techno themed rave party as Vagrant suggested above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetsuei.8942 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Why is Pyrotorrick not headbanging while fighting us? He might be a monster but he can bang out to the music while trying to murder us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugrakarma.9416 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 the "jump in mosh pit" is ubber-hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I want to give kudos to the audio. During one concert I was skimming about on the water below to work on the trials and races there and whenever I got close to the stage area I could hear the music booming out. And it sounded -exactly- like somewhat distant music over water, bass carrying the most, a slight echo, and a muting effect.Is that just a happy circumstance of how game sound works or did you guys work to make it that way?

huluobo.7036 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The lighting effect is only applicable to npc, the player can only be the audience, the interaction between the players will be better,, need more dancing action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anninke.7469 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Can we have more info about the band? Like where they come from, how they came together, what/who inspires them, who makes their songs (both in-game and IRL), who's the heart and soul of the band, likes, dislikes... you know, the usual music magazine interview stuff. How much are they actually controled by Bangar?Will we get a full MV?Will we ever hear Medium Rare? (And will we ever hear the no. 1 sylvari hit "Well Done"? ;) )And last but not least - Cidd's the best, can you tell him? (I know he knows. Just let him know I know too. Oh my, so much knowledge in such a few words...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zlater.6789 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Let me ask the questions that people actually care about.What's the plan for the future, do you plan to keep focusing on content surrounding the metal legion in future episodes?Was the metal legion enough of a pull to salvage the game from the disaster that happened around the announcement?What are your impressions regarding what your players feel about the 54-step collection for the rockout emote? Do you think it was too short, long or just right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
