BnooMaGoo.5690 Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Greetings, initially I wasn't really enthusiastic about this expansion beyond new jaunty hats & MUSIC (being skyscaled/flight challenged) Did I miss new music or is all music already in game? inquiring audiophiles want to know 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datriman.6714 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I feel exactly the same. Very disappointing. The one thing I can show off about GW2 to non-gamers is the EOD music behind the scenes video. this is the first package GW2 failed to deliver on music. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky.4861 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 The 'music' is just a bunch of women oooh-ing and ahhh-ing over the new maps. In other words; a female choir. It's not bad but it gets boring after 30 seconds or so. What i'd like to know is what happened to the music on the character select screen, cos for me it's just silence... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokke.6239 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 There was new music I think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsandar.7420 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Soundtrack is on Spotify, 24 tracks, 51 minutes. If you don’t like the music, that’s one thing, but it’s readily available. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have a pretty long stretch where it's just a faint "blowing wind" SFX, maybe that's it? The music does kick in eventually. Check your audio setting for "music interval" and set it shorter, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just leave it on char select screen for longer then; i'm just used to hearing the EoD soundtracks start almost instantly. Tx for letting me know 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaia Skyhawk.5064 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 There's loads of new music in the expansion. I'd check your music settings. Note, around the Skywatch Archipelago they do use older tracks from the relevant pre-SotO equivalent zones around the various islands, with the non-fractal islands having the newer tracks. The combat music around all Kryptis events is new, and it's all new music in the tower outpost and Amnytas 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravitron.7982 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Tbh I always play with the music disabled and forgot there was even music. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuminati.8453 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Usually music is a high point in GW2 but like others have said it seems really absent for this one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about others, but for me that track is just being played at a significantly lower volume compared to other sounds in the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teknomancer.4895 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I've noticed that too, the character select screen's theme music is substantially quieter than the other music & sounds in the game. It's not bad, it's just vewy vewy quiet. Maybe it's hunting wabbits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I think the SotO soundtrack is beautiful. It fits the new maps and events. If you don't hear any of the new music, you might want to turn the music volume setting up. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The volume everywhere else seems to be fine, but the character select screen is maybe 60% of the other audio, if that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I like some of the tracks. There’s an epic feel to the one during the archipelago meta when he’s making his key. There’s a few other good tracks too. The ambient ones don’t always kick in though and a lot of archipelago uses music in every fractal island from each respective zone, which is a nice touch when you move between each. EoD still beats it for OST though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
