Redfeather.6401 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Is the greatest thing I done in an online game. Everyone working together to do something so overdramatic and silly. And the music all the while. It was making me giddy it was so funny. Some of us were jumping up and down in the mosh pit while others were trying to fix the amp, and it was chaos but good.

Memoranda.9386 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 My single favorite event in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex.3602 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 My most favourite event in the game. Never gets old for me, despite having done it so many times. I guess I love how over-the-top and fast paced it is. Would love to see more events of a similar style in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obfuscate.6430 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 It was really fun! I love Ballad of Soulkeeper the best and the giant animatronic effect going off the rails in typical asuran fashion and throwing everyone around. I wish we could have spent more time getting to know the band. I hope they make a reappearance later in the story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaliwenda.3428 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The concert and the /rockout emote are some of my favorite things in the game recently. Sometimes out on the landscape you can hear NPCs talking about the band too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I despise heavy metal music quite passionately, but I enjoyed the event as well and appreciated what it set out to achieve (which it did)As long as they don't overuse it, I'd have no objection to seeing it again in a festival Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad Curze.5130 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I remember when people pointed at that event and said "look, I know yall disappoint there's no expac, but with a start like this IBS will surely be just as good!!!

Wolfb.7025 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yes, Grothmar Valley overall was a really good start, this concert is definitely the most fun, epic and clever event of all the entire game, its not just one of the many boring "Beat this X dude" "Escort that other guy" kind of event, you felt like you were there, like you were really part of the event.btw, from someone who enjoys heavy/trash metal and would normally cringe when companies try to shove the genre into places that normally wouldn't fit, these three songs are LEGIT, the rough vocals and the guitar riffs, they really put effort on it and clearly managed to not feel a generic attempt of "heavy metal" within a videogame.

My boyfriend and I are metalheads and we were both impressed. There's some real talent there and the whole vibe gave me the concert experience I've been missing. Hail Metal Legion!

Fueki.4753 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm most likely in the minority, but I don't really like that concert.That kind of music is not my cup of raspberry-flavoured milk.Additionally, I don't like concerts and other loud, crowded places either.The events were kinda close to being fun though.

Well, if they make more events like this, someone certainly will. Ugh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorOverlord.8620 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I just did this event for the first time tonight. IMO this is the best darn event I have ever seen in an MMO (and I've been playing them for years) Absolutely unique, hilarious and most important of all - it was great fun!The music probably gets the most attention, and it was brilliant choice to have a metal band create the soundtrack, but the event itself is well-designed with clear objectives and streamline gameplay. The area is easy to navigate and the event has a nicely appropriate length. It is well-balanced too, no annoying cc-spamming or other such mechanics that would detract from the fun. The mini-tasks during the event are a terrific touch, I initially thought people were jumping in the mosh-pit for fun rather than just standing in the objective circle like normal, then I saw it was an actual objective :) Even the pre-event is well-thought out showing the NPC audience slowly streaming into the concert area. ArenaNet really knocked it out of the park with this one. I'll admit there have been times when I have been truly annoyed and put-out with the game as I've caught up on the story after coming back, but it is content like this that convinces me that the current Guild Wars 2 is now really is worth my time. (All of Grothmar Valley is fantastic from what I've seen)Also I need to get my characters their Metal Legion T-shirts now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
