Curse

I'm starting to miss the old Nightfall intro screen with the waterfall, the ship, the smaller boat and the large fish....

It isn't that the newer screen with the snow and the mountains and the aurora borealis isn't pretty; it certainly is pretty....
.... but the music is infuriating beyond all bounds!

The repetitive D,D,D,C,C,Bflat,A (I think thas it, but I could be wrong) sequence playing over and over again is almost single-handedly putting me off Guild Wars.... The old Nightfall screen wasn't half so bad.

It leaves me wondering why we can't have some sort of option to select which intro screen settings we want out of Original Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall or Eye of the North. Surely that wouldn't be too much to ask... would it?

Actualy if you ask me it isnt bad the Musik it self shows the theme of GW:EN the war the danger first it is smooth and calm but then it goes into all out rage like a warfare just has erypted and you have all this action and the wieves arent that bad it alwasy needs a change and Nightfall was getting oldish but uyeah i gues every 1 is entitled to their opinion

Personally, I don't stay on that screen long enough for it to annoy me. I couldn't even describe the scene or the music. I'd rather log in and start playing.

DeBron · Aug 20, 2007, 03:02 PM // 15:02

You only have to listen to it for like >20 seconds when you log in . . . not a big deal.

I personally love both the music and the scenery.

Ditto. But if i had to sit on the log on screen long enough, I prefer the old Prophecies theme song.

Not much wrong with it in my opinion. Just gets loud at most =P

Best music yet imo.

I assume someday you'lll be able to choose screen, once Anet stop prioritising GWEN (but it's a sales thing, can't blame em there).

Etta · Aug 20, 2007, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Don't like the music? F11, sound, drag the music tab all the way to the left, done.

i agree thats why i'm hoping one day we can change it up. Mix and match music and bg or just choose which log in screen to have.

Might be the case after GW:EN is released but even then I'm not really guessing it'll happen as GW2 will be the priority. Would be nice but I don't think it will be likely.

All GW music is annoying to me these days.

aaawwwwww...........the encampment was so sweet......I had just now gotten over the loss of the original long in screen and music..........thanks a lot woody....thanks..

I like the new log in screen -- the music is pretty bad ass to if you listen to it for more than 5 seconds.

I assume you mean < 20 s

If you don't like it there's always mute, or you could even switch off your speakers...

It is the first 20 seconds or so that is the most annoying and repetitive.
Given that I often switch things systematically between my characters when emptying the vault (I have many storage characters), I get subjected to that first 20 seconds an awful lot..... and it is VERY droning....

I mean if I was just hanging around on the intro screen for a longer time, I wouldn't mind.... since it changes eventually and melds through other GW musical sets..... but the very first sound you hear is that sequence mentioned in my OP, and it repeats itself far too much.

If you earnestly think I would be willing to go fiddle with the sound settings in the F11 menu every single time I was to enter or exit the intro screen.... you're barking up the wrong tree. Even switching the speakers on and off while going through it would get tedious very quickly.
I don't have any problem with the rest of the music in Guild Wars, and rather like some of it as it happens..... but the new intro is annoying on a previously unheard of level.

I actually like the EotN theme. I hated the Nightfall one alot though.

They have already said hundreds of times doing this wont be so easy due to the things they upgrade with each CSS (Look in old suggestion topics)

Buster · Aug 20, 2007, 04:43 PM // 16:43

I prefer the EOTN screen and music compared to the Nightfall one. The Nightfall screen and music was nice too but I guess its all about what you like.

Clord · Aug 20, 2007, 05:20 PM // 17:20

Simple solution, let us select music in starting screen.

cmdratz · Aug 20, 2007, 06:47 PM // 18:47

What about an option of having the title screen show the chapter/expansion music where your active character is at the present time? I might enjoy that player-focussed arrangement more, because the title screens would feel useful to me for orientation.

Best Regards,

Sorry, favorite intro so far. I can listen to it for quite some time..
