Guild Wars Factions: Skimpy music...
TsunamiZ
While there is probably no way to save Guild Wars Factions from an overall disappointing expansion game design [as what a lot of players seem to think], Anet should probably add or mix up the music in Cantha to make it more interesting to play in. Here is a rough layout of the current music distribution in Cantha. Pretty lame to play through hours / days listening to the same slow-paced music over and over. IMO, Factions would have been a slightly better game if the yellow area and music was mixed in more with the main map. [This is based on Standard Edition.]

I love the Monastary Music.

The music is the reason I haven't had the sound on in 8 months.

See, this is why I love iTunes. I run it in the background, and I have a playlist depending on where I am. UWMix, FoWMix, FaxMix, ProphMix, and ElonMix is ownage.
King Kong
Just turn the music off and put iTunes on 
TsunamiZ
well they mixed up the music in prophecies, so why not factions--which has the least music of all 3 games

Well I have noticed just one sound in certain areas, but after listening to the soundtrack and playing factions i hear the same music i heard on the soundtrack, Im not sure where, as i havent payed all THAT much attention to it. I just know i have heard more then 6 different types of music. Not many more, but more.

I don't know, I really enjoyed the Factions music, I thought they did a great job with it. Nightfall music has been boring me to tears, though.
Aphraelyn
I barely hear the background music anyway x.X

I like the Factions music but agree with the original poster.
His/Her complaint is not over the music, but over the variety.
The music doesn't change often enough. A new player to Factions is going to spend 90% of their time on that small island - which takes forever to get off - and will never hear the other sounds. If you manage to not give up the game after reaching Kaineng and getting visually and game-play pimp-slapped (with the lack of variety in looks and opponents), you're still not going to get much more variety in sound for a long time...
It makes the whole game feel like a grind, even in the middle of a quest or plot element.

The amount of Factions music is dissappointing, but I have to say that the Factions music is my favorite of the 3 games.

I loved the login screen music of Factions and was sad it was taken away when nightfall came closer.
EternalTempest
Wow, great map / music research.
If found the DirectSong music/CE Bonus greatly enhanced Factions vs standard. CE Bonus music espically.

prophecies / nightfall doesn't require bonus purchase to get a good amount and variety of music--and thats the way it should be

No one would buy from directsong.com if there's more music in the game. One downside of subscription free game.
TsunamiZ
but there's a difference between "bonus music" and "lack of music"

Factions OST was too much ambient... CE minipak was much better
Seef II
Yeah, you really need the CE/DirectSong music for variety in Factions music. Overall, though, Factions has the best music out of all three chapters IMO.
Count to Potato
I press mute button anyway, after first week music gets boring, i still like nightfallen music tho
TsunamiZ
i dont like factions music much anymore, maybe its because of how overplayed it was when i beat the game
Bankai
I think music is one of the most important parts of a game.
So I was disappointed as well in Factions.

Last time i played nightfall with all sounds off (stupid mute laptop button 
) but i didn't even noticed it 
as if i could think the sound by the game
But alas, the song i like the most comes from the guildwars prophecies special edition, it's called: A warriors heart It's so epic, and still not annoying
Too bad i may not share it with you
