EVE General Discussion

Having Played this Game since Beta on multiple Accounts . I have seen several features being added / removed. As the notion in ≡v≡ Online was simple . Adapt or Go Away [ Give me your stuff while you are at it ] .

But the one aspect of ≡v≡ that really had me hooked on was the Sound Effects , Warp Sound Effects , Cyno Sound Effects, and the other effects which were ambient to the ≡v≡ Lore. Above all of them was the Music. Yes there were times when I did switch off the Audio. Because at times you just need to Mute it.

However, overall ≡v≡ music was a good, vibrant and something that was ≡v≡'s identity. I used to listen to ≡v≡'s music while playing the game and at times falling asleep [ got podded several times because of it lol. in 0.0/low ] But still it was part of ≡v≡

I listened to it so much that at times there would be that moment when I am driving my car and would hear it at a subconscious level. It was disturbing but hey its been over 9.5 Years [ my eve time ] .

Majority of the time I am in 0.0 / Low and the music theme was very effective in these environments.

But now with the system wide change in music and the removal of the Jukebox it just breaks all form of control and is just totally a pain in the palm. Alt Tabbing to Sound Cloud. I mean we got to register.

≡v≡ online was supposed to be a platform that is supposed to have all sort of connection within it.

CCP developed the browser for ≡v≡ so that pilots can stay in game , the point was to keep your clients / player base within the game but you are just forcing your customers to move to other software / resources to utilize your service.

I am sure you might have a plan to bring it back and I wish you do because ≡v≡ Music & the jukebox were an identity of ≡v≡ .

- Removal of Learning Skills - It was not required but you removed it , so now an alt/noob can skill up faster
- Adding of Skill Queue - Yes it has made life easier but hey, ≡v≡ was a simulator of " IT IS HARD " example- you arrived at your work 15 Minutes late your pay is deducted for those 15 minutes if you are working by the hour. OR if you went AFK on AP and passed through a lowsec u get PWNED BBQ SAUCE.
- Safety ?? - We are in space why was the 3 options added for safety. We are POD pilots so you mean to say that the DUST bunnies also have a " safety " feature on their weapons and their guns to enable / disable ?
- Duels ? seriously...
- Instead of doing duels / removing jukebox / adding safety features .. CCP shoud have aligned towards POS , Corporation Fixes, Outposts, Size of Carriers / MOMs .. and the hundreds of other features that should have been fixed or being fixed for almost 9.5 years

Phew . I feel a little Light now

Just my 2 cents.

The devs replied on this. It was using old, outdated calls that... Well...

Either fix it (dedicating resources to "do it right" - not doing ships & stuff) or remove it before it corrupted other things.

Think of it like the green fur growing on "something" in a forgotten container in the back of the fridge - "fixing it up"? Nope - Toss it and either replace or don't. That was the kind of options they were looking at.

Hi CCP,

Any change in response to several hundred people going out of their way to find this thread to get the Jukebox back? Certainly it would be a matter of pasting code back into a C++ line.

Hmmmm

Please?

I like the music, although one thing I'd like to add as a feature is a hotkey to specifically turn off the music. This is a problem when running multiple accounts as the music doesn't sound good when you have multiple accounts playing different music.

so they are making it so it plays music based on what you are doing ....great...so if a player who basically just does combat missions will only hear the same music because they are not involved...so i have to change my behavior to hear varied music...the music to eve is unique and very very fitting and certainly adds to the game in ways that are hard to understand, the mood and atmosphere ect...

they need to re add a playlist...i mean take away the browser i dont even use that its ******** using some half baked internet browser...give me playlist

youtube.

or even soundcloud.

I slid my sound bars down a long time ago. Then i tried to slide them back up a few months ago and.. nothing.
Fiddled with settings trying to get sound back.. still nothing.

I guess the client got the hint

stupid answer


alt tabbing is great fun....

I've been hanging out in Z-M5A1 for a while and the music just never changes. Rather than turn off that godawful horror music when it first got tiresome, I left it on hour after agonizing hour, giving it the benefit of the doubt. But after a whole week of listening to that, it has yet to change even once. No matter what I was doing, the music was the same.

And I thought hearing the same five old jukebox themes over and over again in highsec was bad.
