I guess Jeremy also has made alot of good/great even pieces, but like, when i listen to gw1 i feel like im listening to core gw2 and when im listening to core gw2 i feel like im listening to skyrim.

Jeremy for me is like Adele, listening to any of her albums is like listening to 1 song playing on repeat for an hour, it kinda gets boring.

i don't think jeremy did much of GW2, i don't remember though. I know what you mean but he has a LOT of one hit wonders.

imagine if they had vocals in the tracks of gw2

would be epic

I think who would have been good for gw2 is inon zur.

Could you link some of the work of this zur guy?

[TheOrlyFactor.8341]

I can't find the song that plays upon entering Desert Highlands and Jahai Bluffs so here's my favorite track from Guild Wars 2.

[AsPeeXXXVIII.9571]

I like every piece in the game more or less equally.

[TheQuickFox.3826]

Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 have been blessed with the work of Jeremy Soule and a few other very talented composers. There are so many excellent soundtracks that I cannot just mention one.

I think my all-time favourite may be the Luxon soundtrack, of GW: Factions

Even tho I was Kurzick, I would give the prize for the best soundtrack to the Luxons here. Whenever I hear this, I see myself roaming with my trusty henchies over the endless frozen jade sea, with a few Saltspray Dragons floating by in the distance.

Nothing expresses the feeling of being alone at the end of the world as the theme of Abaddon's Mouth:

Few things in my life were more welcome than the Factions expansion, with this masterpiece as login theme:

And this peaceful soundtrack after you beaten the game and was greeted with firework, the ending credits and all your friends.

Who doesn't remember the savage Shiverpeaks with this soundtrack? It looks like the snow finally cleared up a bit.

Tasca's Theme

Guild Wars: Eye of the North

Man, I was so hyped for this.

The Bazaar of the Four Winds

And of course, the GW2 ending theme

Fear not this Night. An absolute Masterpiece.

The GW1 OST will always have a special place in my heart - even hearing some of my favourites, like First Light, chokes me up. JS's work is always very good for ambient environmental immersion.

But aside from a few of his tracks for GW2, I never really felt like his work on this game specifically stood out. The most emotive pieces are the GW1 tracks that play in Ascalon maps, imo. There are a couple, like the charr themes, that stick out in my mind, but that's it. The rest all kinda blur into one big "nice" ambience after a while.

I feel like the in-house team have brought a lot more distinctive, lively character to the soundtrack ever since. There are some real standouts, and the expansion OSTs are fantastic. I've said before, I wish they'd properly release the LW season soundtracks the same way. I'd happily buy. Soundcloud is a little restrictive, even if I can appreciate getting stuff for free.

One I haven't seen linked here is the Marionette battle music from S1, another of my faves:

(I really miss that fight, too! :'( )

[portalmaster.9738]

There's always been something that makes The Charr Triumphant stand out to me.

[Nekromalistik.7045]

Simple, meets the goal of giving a perfect setting to Orr

[hugo.4705]

I always been amazed by soundtracks, it's crazy that music can share intense emotions and make you dream imagining big things.

My favourite would be Assault on the Breachmaker. You feel the tension, the pressure in the air. There is mechanical like sounds and the instruments choice is awesome.

But I have a serious crush on Rata Novus and the DDR (Arkk) theme. Both are very interesting and mysterious; it build up slowly and I like the main melodies. The Artwork of Rata novus loading screen and the soundtracks are both stunning as example but it's really sad the map design wasn't at the same level and it was to me a disapointement. I can listen to those musics and then dream of Gw2 locations that doesn't exist. The other night I was at a lagoon with a giant rata-sum like city floating on the left with several waterfalls coming out of it.

[Blur.3465]

I really love quality soundtrack and GW2 is one of those games that has it.I have a couple of favorite ones:

Veins of the DragonTomb of Primeval KingsQuaggan CommandRata NovusBjora MarchesWolf SpiritTaming the JungleThe Prophecy ReduxWhisperer of the Ice DragonForging Steel

[robertthebard.8150]

I don't know the name of the track, but there's some ambient music that plays on the Kryta maps that calls me back to Aribeth's Theme from NWN.

ok : a bit unfair, but worth it :

[Kiba.9743]

Heart of Thorns is where my heart is. I like multiple, but this along with a few more stick out to me.

[MidnightX.6294]

Why are there no Sea of Sorrows, Trahearne's Reverie and The Tengu Wall samples? Let me fix this -

also i would love if anet would create some battle music that feels MORE EPIC - just like this:

[zealex.9410]

Battle on the breachmaker, mordremoth fight theme, rata novus and the end of pof one in that order.

Tho i can see myself replacing them all with the exoac 3 soundtrack if its as top tier as faction's was.

A god damn banger, i hope anet takes any oppprtunity they get to work with lena in te future.

[AllNightPlayer.1286]

I’m surprised, this one wasn’t mentioned already. Perfect fit for underwater content and it reminds me of my very first character in August 2012—a Sylvari—helping those poor Quaggans and Hyleks in Caledon. Too bad underwater is abandoned content in GW 2. It has/had so much potential.

[EMPI.4013]

A Land restored, Attack on Tarir, and Balthazar's theme (not sure what its called) specifically at 4:00, love that part of his theme. Are my favorites from base game and each expansion.

[SkyCake.4216]

Does Fear Not This Night count? Or, is that too cheesy of an answer? I still get teary eyed from it. So so beautiful. Brings back memories of the first time clearing Arah with my friends. The Zhaitan fight may not have been spectacular. Especially relative to today's higher standards set by Anet. But, it was honestly just a magical moment for me in gaming when we were standing on the airship and Fear Not This Night started playing. I'm starting to tear up just writing this. Ha!

I'm not usually the type to listen to game soundtracks. But, I can click play on any of the music posted in this thread and know it. I do enjoy GW2's OST in general.

[pninak.1069]

for me it is battle on breachmaker, marrionette and clocktower. I really like the old gw1 bgm, but it doesn't work with gw2 imo. that's why I have chosen soundtracks that are not tied to gw1.

[Serphentelm.6590]

I've scrolled down listening to every ost i've encountered, and i'm surprised no one mentioned Tarir, the Forgotten City.

Men, this actually gives me chills every single time i listen to it
