EVE Information Portal

First time I'm actually posting on the forums just to voice my dislike of the removal of the jukebox. It was a handy way to have all my music available while I played that didn't force me to use another program, or to minimize Eve or run it in a window, just so I can have music. I liked when I was listening to custom music and it would change when I went through a mission gate.

Summary: Bring back the jukebox!

Would this proposal do the trick for you?

Sounds are mostly nice but unfortunately I have to disable them from all my clients. When volume slider is "on" in any client, music/ambient noise keeps playing on background even when I minimize that client. It makes it really confusing to use another client.

You also might consider the fact that sounds on all kinds of very repetitive actions get old really fast unless they are something what is barely noticeable. However sometimes even that is too much. Think about wrecks and such...

It would be nice if you could fix the sound effects and music so, that only important stuff like auto pilot notifications, warp/jump sounds, guns and warnings come from client when it is minimized. Ambient stuff and music has to be muted! Quite a few of us play with at least 2 clients all the time.

You also should give option to make the above happen from esc menu option. Some of us have clients (always maximized) in different monitors and you most likely want to disable all the non important audio from another client but not totally mute it.
Also... add mute button to startup screen (which also remembers if it is enabled or disabled). If you run more than one client you suddenly have more than one login screen also. Listening same music from many sources isn't really fun specially when that comes loud and out of sync.

When I kill a rat - I get a "door clanking sound" - its incredibly annoying to have that sound play - how do I turn it off?

Its a sound that is only effected by the world level setting - and seems that regardless of how far out I zoom - it still plays at the same level.
Apparently this is the sound of a crate being created - and I &*^%#$^* HATE IT !!!
Everything else is great - awesome in fact - but this one sound that plays after I kill a rat - making me want to turn the world level volume OFF just so I can avoid it.
Can we please - please - get an option to turn this off?
I beg you.

Actually I don't like most of the sound changes by now and there are lots of them. It's really annoying and I've just been ingame a few minutes, since downloading the patch took more than 12h for me...

Same for ui changes. Add fleet hangar divisions. Guess I just have to start making a list. There are lots of good changes too, but it all comes with a grain of salt. Looks like crucible will stay my "best expansion" for at least another 6 months. 2 years in game now.

I want the Jukebox back. I read your reasoning about removing it, and frankly disagree with everything you cited as a reason.

Also, I know you (team KLANG) are proud of the music you put in, but it's a taste issue I think. You have a worldwide audience, and I personally dislike the music. One song in particular that played in one of the stations has this high-pitched jarring metronome like thing going on the entire time. Endless headache causing thing with a repetive loud TRILL. It was loud, annoying, and so I ended up turning the music completely off - permanently.

With the old Jukebox, I would switch between the Eve music and my own music as the mood struck me. I no longer have that option. It's ridiculous.

ALSO, I think your time would be and would have been MUCH BETTER SPENT on not messing with the environmental and weapon sounds, but instead really digging in and fixing and enhancing the UI Feedback (as seen from the actual GAME PLAYER's perspective, not the cool sound guru guy's perspective). This is a game with a lot of information thrown at you, and appropriate sound feedback would be welcome. Appropriate, not 'cool'.

I know you put a lot of hard work into the sound, and it's too bad it's such a disappointment.

So, in summary:
1) I want the Juke box back ASAP
2) Until then, my client's music is turned OFF
3) The UI feedback sounds need work
4) I know you put a lot of work into this patch -- too bad so much of your work irritates us
5) I want the Jukebox back ASAP (can't stress this enough)

The entire sound update that came with Retribution is absolutely horrible. I've been playing since RMR, and this is the first time I've had to turn down the master volume to 0.

The alarms, the "whoosh" warp, the steel door sound when you blow up a ship... not to mention the very underwhelming explosions...

And don't get me started on the jumpgate sound. Sounds like a wizard casting a spell at every other gate.

Horrible.

CCP t0rfifrans you sir, are a liar. Yes, there was a mp3 player built in, and you had it locked tight. When players figured out how to mod it, CCP made it a bannable offense to alter it, leading to a massive forum shitstorm that ended in CCP giving us jukebox.

I don't know if we'll get it back before this game finally collapses from all the bad ideas CCP has spewed lately, but I for one intend to fight you over this.

New sounds are disturbing at best- please keep working on them, the effort is appreciated but the result is lackluster.

SOUND PROPOSAL- How about "theme-music" you can set for your corp, so that when three or more of you land on grid it kicks in for like a five second burst of AWESOME and OHHHhhhMYYyyyyy, for all clients on grid so your enemies can hear just how Boss yer sound is (i foresee lots of Justin Beiber tunes)

"Team KLANG"s sick joke is the worst sound addition of EVE - the damm KLANG sound - and not even a whisper of acknowledgement that it will be removed and or able to be adjusted.
Even a "where working on it" - would elevate my new disgust for the new sounds in general.
