How to De-Stress with Guild Wars 2 while running on GTX 1060 Maximum

Are you having a bad day at the office? Love troubles? Need some time alone? How about some music? They say music soothes even the troubled souls.

sunsets are beautiful  even on videogames

You can listen to music from streaming music online, radio, Youtube playlists, and music apps. It can help you ease your mind but most of these contain commercials and ads. Don't worry there is an alternative solution, videogames. It is time to bring your audiophile in-game.

 If you play video games like me, particularly MMORPG, role-playing, action-adventure games and some selected first person shooters, then you are in luck. Most of these games contain music, an ambient background that can be either relaxing or lively. One of my personal favorites is Guild Wars 2, its soundtrack is immersive, emotional orchestral music. And this is how I do it:

Guild Wars 2 Sound Options 

1. Login to Guild Wars 2
2. Go to the main menu > sound options tab
3. Adjust volumes as follows:

• master volume 100% (the main volume)
• environment volume: 20% (some background audio on maps may vary)
• effects volume: 0% (in case you aggro by hostile mobs or players)
• dialog volume: 0% (mutes NPCs talking to another NPCs)
• UI volume: 0% (up to you if you wish to hear every time you bring the menu)
• player instrument volume: 0% (fellow players rarely do this unless in the cities)
• sound quality: highest (recommended if you have high-end headset and speakers)
• music interval: shorter (to have shorter gaps between on the music loop)

Select the tick box for:

• mute dynamic combat music (music triggered upon combat)
• disable player chatter (it disables your character and others sound effects of skills, buffs, conditions, shouts etc..)
• disable item chatter (if you have or someone beside you have a Replica Job-o-Tron Backpack, this disables that annoying repetitive chatter)
• mute player alerts
• deselect the tick box for "mute when GW2 is in the background "

Basically, you turn up the volume for music and blend the environment music at your pleasure and keep the last option so that your music is continuously playing if you wish to minimize the game while you do other things in the background.
The video below is the result, enjoy!

I personally prefer to do this in other MMO games like World of Warcraft, ESO or the Starwars Old Republic but that is just me. Which Game would you recommend that have the best background music while exploring or while in action?
