No one knows how Saga ends, though.

Definitely, I think maps till Jormag Rising were very engaging with various events, activities, meta events like Drakkar or once Claw of Jormag's meta was fixed, it feels like a nice and rewarding experience.As for Champions I think changing the way parts of core maps look is definitely a cool idea, and making them instanced won't make a mess in the future with all those ambushes when new players start playing - something that probably looks weird when a new player sees entangled places by mordremoth or mordrems, while doing story with Zhaitan. Still I hope a new location will be added in Judgment - 4th chapter. The quality of music also definitely adds so much to locations like Alpine Marches, Eagle Flight, and battle music in Drizzlewood Coasts and more I think the frozen Lake Doric will exist only inside the DRM accessed trough the asuran portal in EoTN. The real Lake Doric map will stay untouched.Yeah, it's very cool :)

I think that's how poll should look rather than getting options like Yes Yes Yes...

I thought I'd share a playlist of the music I recorded in the most recent patch :) There is Primordus' Theme - Primordus Rising available on Soundcloud too :) https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/primordus?in=arenanet/sets/icebrood-saga Very intriguing theme indeed, because Maclaine used Jormag's leitmotif too, but I believe it is to indicate that Jormag and Primordus are siblings. Cool compositions overall with that crazy violin and drums and also weird, strange sounds that make the whole soundtrack unique. :)

So there is a bug when the clones should appear for 2nd time, it doesn't happen. Fix it Anet!

It's about your mindset - if people stop supporting Anet by buying gems - It's when GW2 is over.If you don't enjoy it right now, maybe take a break and get a fresh view on the game - it always seem game is dead, because there is no active patch - just imagine there are thousands like you that join when something new is released. Many people play games like that - even WoW won't have hundreds of thousand players active every day - you can see it by queues when a patch is launched. Everything is about your mindset and adjusting to changes - you won't bother about visual effects in 100cm, because you simply accept them. Not everyone will say effects suck, because many people will love what you hate. It's always easier to complain...

Ranger since you can have a raven as a pet

I think it's boring ? I think the north part if the meta is quite boring overall. But it's just my opinion ? Also I expected more engaging combat and music - that is basically a 1 minute long track that repeats for 10-15 mins, it's just meh... you just basically 3 shot him and then it's a dmg sponge for few mins and there is no mechanics at all... Drakkar was epic, music was engaging and to see the Claw being so weirdly designed..I expected something better...

Other than the reasons stated above, it would also be nice to have ready check

Here is the whole playlist of this episode's music. I love how Jormag Rising has all this ambient, emotional music, and No Quarter has those heavy, epic sounds - it balances the tone of the location and the story. As always i was so excited to record all the music and then share all the excitement with everyone and seeing Bryan Atkinson comments with some nice trivia was so cool ??? Like when I asked him about the original name of cinematic music, he said that he didn't really give it a name yet, but there is a joke name he gave: "Mr. Freeze" ? Or when I noticed that the cinematic music is like a dialogue, it was so awesome to read that the Sound team actually thought exactly about it - to capture duel persuasion of Jormag and Ryland. So cool ?

so happy GH and FoW is still linked together ^_^

lol...

Why does Jormag look so skinny? ? Are they plans to make the Claw harder? I couldn't quite understand that Owl's return scene and it was so confusing s/he returned but then we didn't want him/her to return and suddenly the Owl opens the gate too, I was confused by that Owl thing... Who is responsible for "motherf..."? ?

Well, it's a problem for every game with serious voice acting.WoW's Shadowlands are coming this Autumn, so it's hard for them too. USA is in serious troubles in general atm, so just show some empathy, it's not VAs fault they can't do their work in the studio.

maybe it's cause the final boss of the story is spoilery and they didn't want to reveal that in a trailer...

Would it be possible to update the interface of GW2 webpages with the dark mode? what you guys think?

there is a music bug that annoys me: In Nightmare Fractal if you die or gg after 1st encounter with MAMA, Twisted Marionette part 2 no longer plays after that.For example in 99 CM we usually GG after killing 3 champions and the Twisted Marionette music starts playing, after we GG, music is gone and upon MAMA's death the last bit of the Twisted Marionette part 2 hits out of nowhere....

Really amazing music.

Really well done music! I think there are: Drizzlewood Coast' theme (Unnamed 1&2), Cold War (Unnamed 3&5) and Cinematic music (Unnamed 4) - nothing official, though. I really like that Unnmed 4, almost beyond-like.

it's obvious for Episode 1 and 2, but I'm not sure about the Prologue and Visions of the Past...

How does it work now, when we get episodes and mini-episodes? Do people actually need to pay, if they hadn't logged in meantime, for Bound by Blood, Whisper in the Dark, Shadow in the Ice and Forging Steel, or they get it all after purchasing HoT&PoF bundle? Just wondering

I thought I'd mix music and ambience together in an unique way, so I thought I'd experiment with the sound itself: how strange GW2's music can sound if we add ambience, letting it taking control over the music... slowly falling into those undescribable sounds, when you can't really pick leitmotives, the structure, unified melody. It shows how music can translate sense out of chaos itself. - embodies it... It's interesting to see in a lot of sci-fi/fantasy movies and series' soundtracks that music doesn't really try to embody that chaos into a coherent melody., in contrary - soundtracks don't really try to make the best orchestral arrangements, but they abandon that cohesion to capture the chaos as it is. I hope you will enjoy listening to that small compilation. :) Take care, guys :)

TO ALMORRA!

I absolutely agree, a season being focused on Charr and Norn was such a good idea, I think they realized new music, story and regions were needed to make those two races more interesting. So far they do really good job with that.
