EVE General Discussion

I think the new sound system is much better than the old one in which some sound effects would completely drown others out. But I don't see why the old sound effects couldn't be put into the new system. I liked the old strip miner sound effect, the new one is boring and so quiet I can't tell by ear if the darn things are still running.

Fleetwide DJ perhaps? Just link an MP3 player to eve voice and then auto mute when people are talking.

Fleet commander can designate fleet DJ and people can mute that persons music with a simple toggle button. It would be nice for a wee bit of trolling but i have faith that my corp mates have good selections of music.

Oh and one more thing while we're talking about in-game sounds and where a CCP Dev may actually see this: what is up with that horrid explosion sound every time I dock at a station? That one noise rocks my speakers so much that it alone determines the volume at which I can enjoy the game. KABOOOM!!!! You're docked? If I'm doing something incorrectly, please, for the love of nacho cheese, somebody help me fix it.

My OS doesn't like souncloud site

I have been disempowered as choice has been removed from me.

The music in EVE is what I imagine the Boron music from X is.

I actually like the music in-game and miss the jukebox.

Just a note:

I think the music is awesome and only regret that there is not much more of it, so many expansions, not much more music.

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away there was a college radio station that played music that was like the jukebox, only longer, more ambient, and just plain weird. You needed an appreciation for the sounds, what an electronics system can do, and the creativity of the artist.

(in other words, if you didn't hit the dial for quick gratification "disco" or rock or whatever other mainstream brainless pap was available)

People who don't like the music should simply just not listen, but to come here being a douche about it when it accomplishes nothing is a true mark of a useless air thief.

Sorry, CCP, but "you have chosen poorly"... and without a discussion! At least, not one I was even vaguely aware of. I must have missed my invitation to the roundtable where this was decided. I'm terrible with losing stuff.

And you won't believe it, but now we're being told by some people to basically go and buy a record player, borrow some records from mum and dad, and play them in the background instead! Although I suspect that very subject came up at the "ditch the music" meeting...

A simple user-centric playlist manager, like some radio stations use, would work. You hear the music, you "like" it, you hear it more often, or you click a link and you buy it. The link doesn't have to be more than a link to the artist's homepage. Users could submit their own tracks (copyleft, no commercial crap) for rating and play. Make it like a DJ. Just make it different to what it is now, please!

This isn't a big deal to fix. With the fantastic tools (and even fantasticer developers) you have at your disposal, it would be difficult not to build such a UI playlist gadget! Hell, I bet at least one of your coders already has something they wrote themselves over a weekend, just for fun!

I hope this doesn't get the big, heavy "it was decided that, moving forward, our core strengths would be more profitably focused" blah blah blah. We've heard that, and it doesn't cut the mustard.

So, how about it?

I think some people don't remember how much the music means when you're playing Eve, especially for the first time. It lulls you into a sense of false security in lowsec, it keep miners (like me) from going mad, it's the backdrop to the whole game. I'm really disappointed that such a core feature has been taken out of the players' hands, and instead put beyond our reach.

Please this... Im suprised it was not implemented this way when jukebox was taken out in first place.

And yes, i have all my accounts music slider all the way to left.. It gets annoying after couple days. Even faster if you multibox...

Eve music needs a buff. the same moaning spacenoise gets ANNOYING after a few years.
