This. How hard is it to run a browser/media player in the background? Dev time is valuable and worth the extremely minor inconvenience.

Even though I've signed to bring it back, as long as there is a way to stop playing the music left behind .... I would be happy.

It's really a PITA when I have 2 clients running, with 2 different tracks playing .... reminds me of a weak version of Klingon opera from Star Trek.

Even though I'm signing this i'd be open to a compromise. Put the whole damn soundtrack up for download and I mean the ingame version of the EVE soundtrack, because there are some old versions of songs on soundcloud. And that's not even the main reason. Soundcloud sucks. Period. Make it downloadable so ppl can play it in their own mediaplayers please.

Anyway this would all be fixed if you just brought the thing back. Seriously hearing the code have to go is preposterous

This is honestly the first game in which I've had to turn the music off cuz it was hurting my ears. Who was the bright guy who thought those wails,cuz i can;t call them anything else, which play in nullsec, would be enjoyed by anyone in this game. I gave it a go and a in an hour I had a headache from those infernal sounds.

Just bring the damn thing back man, I'd prefer seeing the jukebox get revamped in the next patch, than that ****** Battlecruiser and Destroyer skillchange you want to implement that makes no sense. It's already hard enough for new ppl to get into EVE. I've quit 3 times before because having low sp means you can't do jack **** in this game. The only thing that brought me back was the soundtrack and the memory of what a great atmosphere it created while being in space and by removing the jukebox you just screwed it up.

And where exactly can I download the whole 58 tracks of the EVE soundtrack. Because trust me man I've searched, and even though I've found it, it wasn't in the most legal of places.

All the tracks are in your EVE folder, even the deadspace/combat tracks that weren't listed in the jukebox.

After several months of break from Eve, I've finally returned for more gameplay only this time without the Jukebox... It was one of the important aspect of playing in the lonesome space where you can play both music, whether it was the Eve's soundtrack or some other, and explore the massive space. It was easy to use, and requires less effort since you have different playlists ready if set up correctly. Sure, you can bring up other softwares like Winamp or Media Player, but that destroys the fun in using something that was a part of the Eve client. I would rather have the Jukebox than some Media Player in the background when I'm playing Eve Online in Fullscreen!

We believe we made the right decision but that is for EVE's community to decide. If we however made the wrong decision and you decide that we will put the jukebox back into the game, it will happen at the cost of adding new game-play related features.



Yeah please do! Bring back established things before you work on new content! BTW bring a checkbox to be able to mute ALL new beep, bang and crap sounds you have introduced with retribution. Let me say to all involved devs in this sound team.. You have wasted a lot of time with this crap! Really this was so unimportant and unnecessary!

"GONG.. Skilltraining Completed" Who needs that fugging gong?

Bring back the jukebox! Expulse all new sounds!

And learn to ask BEFORE you change things!

Posting in a thread filled with people who don't know how to use Windows Media Player.

Seriously HTFU. I don't want the devs spending any time on a waste of space Jukebox, when all you guys have to do is use your damn brains and download one yourselves. FFS, you don't even need a media player. Just open up an explorer and set up a Youtube playlist and have that run in the background. CCP don't need to hold your damn hands with everything.

The jukebox is and was a waste of time, space and development.

HTFU.

Hai thar.

I think you missed the point. Can I suggest you re-read my first post, subsequent hyperlinked post as a counter argument and then read through the other 13 pages on this thread so you can read why the people signing want it back?

I think you'll find that whilst you may not be persuaded, you may start to understand why we do.

And if you dont understand, thats fine, although I would like to say unless your able to formulate a good counter-argument that you keep it to yourself.

Assuming you probably wont read the first post or any other post in this thread about why we want it back, and because I'm a nice guy, here's a TL;DR for you.

1) Breaks immersion
2) Uses up resources
3) Takes away player choice
4) Poorly implemented new music system
5) People liked the feature, and viewed it as a good feature
6) Cuz EvE music is kewl and we want it back (properly)

Hai thar,

I read your post, and I have read the vast majority of the thread. I haven't missed any points. The basis of your argument is you want it back and that's fine, except to get it back it will require development time that could otherwise be spent on something else.

It's fine for you to want to create a petition. Frankly its your right. But it's a two way street. If I don't want the devs wasting time on your little petition I am perfectly within my right to say so. The fact of the matter is that the devs have gone out and publicly stated that they thought the jukebox was a waste of development time, and I'm inclined to trust them over any argument you think you can bring up.

Also, as others have pointed out, the Devs have in-depth data showing how often people used the Jutebox. If people don't use it, then they shouldn't be bringing it back when there are more important things for them to do. No petition is going to as accurate as the data they can collect themselves.

Even if you get 1000 names on your list, if those 1000 people are the only people using the damn Jukebox, then they need to move on. Because the other 440,000 subscribers shouldn't have to suffer less content just because you lot want a feature back, that your quite capable of doing yourselves with very little effort.

NO

because it was a dead branch that ccp got rid of FOR A REASON!
i do not want to see precious dev time wasted on re-implementing and maintaining a system that most certainly not be used by most players......
