A Idea...or wish.....

Hello AOC Team....hello AOC Fans....

What you all think about a special Song which is ever connected with AOC?

I would love that, I see that the first time in Guild Wars 2 with the song “Fear not this night”
I'm not sure if it is allowed to post a video here, so I will not do it. But you can all look yourself at YouTube with that title.

There it had a fight against a boss....and only the melody from this song was played in that fight....no other sounds, it was so epic. I love such things because I'm very connected to music.

AOC should also become its song....that song...whenever it played, we all think at us in the game.

That was just and idea, a wish. Maybe some of you enjoy it too, please feel free and let us read you're thinking about that.

    Oh i see it was a other song in that Bossfight wich i was think about. Sorry. But “Fear not this night” is the song wich allways let me think back about my time in that game. It was the song from the endcredits.

    Music is a massive positive or a massive negative for games. If done poorly, it will absolutely create a negative atmosphere that people either notice up front or don't notice it but the effects are still there. I do agree that they should create special music/sounds/songs for this game. Bards *could* have a unique role in some of this music.

    If I were to wish upon a star while all planets aligned, my personal wish would be a song from Infected Mushroom or System of a Down haha. Just give them how ever many millions they want and get it done.

    Really though, with the support behind this game I am sure there will pop up a person in the community who will have no issues helping create this content.

    AoC definitely needs a song that connect our minds/hearts/memories back to Verra and all the adventure we've shared there.

    Similar to how Square Enix has a particular melody that resonates in players familiar with the Final Fantasy franchise. When we hear it; we instinctually know what it is.

    I would like that with Ashes of Creation.

    I am not sure....the song in GW2 it was composed for the game....? I think so.

    https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fear_Not_This_Night

    So it should be a not existing song, more a song which is directly composed for AOC. Which gives us much of the feeling about the game.

    That was the idea.

    Hearing about Musik in a game i have to think about Malukah.
    She made many of the Tavern-bard-songs in Elder Scrolls Online.
    Sometimes i could just stand near a bard for some time just to listen to her musik and singing in the game.

    Her songs for other games are wonderfull too, Reignite for mass Effect or Frozen Sleep for HALO.
    Something like that would be so wonderful to hear in the cities of verra.

    I find this song oddly fitting:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zr6g9Sj7u8



    Especially this part:
    "Home is behind, the world ahead,
    And there are many paths to tread
    Through shadows to the edge of night,
    Until the stars are all alight."

    I've always enjoyed these Nordic-stylized melodies. They are very appropriate for fantasy inspired scenery, adventures & stories. It fits well in the atmosphere of Verra.
