Player Features and Ideas Discussion

It is nice that the music reflects the environment and when you go to new places you hear new music.

But then again, when I am farming something, the same piece of music keeps repeating and repeating and repeating... I have turned music off.

If anyone here has lived in a wormhole for an extended period of time. there is no music... it's literally creepy chimes and just odd sounds over and over again......Like trying to play the game with "the ring" stuck playing in the backround.... I just mute it most of the time. I wish i could actually have some real music from time to time.

want it back

Have any of you guys wanting the jukebox back read the developers post in this thread? Specifically the part about developer time being removed from content and gameplay departments? Install a dedicated player (many free ones available around) and enjoy all the music you ever wanted.

No,

If you comp can't play music from a lightweight mp3 standalone, it would lag just the same or worse if they added it back to eve. It was a mp3 player running for every client you had open. There is no argument here.

Loved this feature... I only "like" the new music system.

Please bring it back, streaming the soundtrack is cumbersome and annoying.

Eve has one of the best game soundtracks of all time. It's one of the things that makes the game so good. You should be proud of it and highlight it with a jukebox.

Many people base their opinion on the fact that they liked the variety of music better if they only frequent one area of the game, or that using an out of game player is somehow "cumbersome".

I'm going to say this as gently as I can (because I too miss the Jukebox a bit).

1: You can use a better, easier to use, less resource intensive, less cumbersome player right now and play all of the EvE music as well as any playlist of your own music you like. The built in jukebox was a buggy, limited thing at it's very best... you know this.

2: If you cultivate being proficient enough with a computer to allow your music to run on a more appropriate player in the background, you free up dev time to put more and more interesting audio features and effects into the game (which it so desperately needs). In essence you are asking the audio team to drop cool stuff they are working on so that you can be lazy. That is a pretty selfish point of view folks.

This entire thread is the best example I have seen to date on this forum of people being short sighted enough to cut off their nose to spite their face. I understand the initial reaction, but seriously folks... once the facts were spelled out by the dev team to keep insisting on bringing that pathetic excuse for a jukebox back (at the expense of far more interesting and needed audio effects) is getting beyond silly.

CCP, you made the right call. Keep working on the core audio elements and effects in game, make them stable and worthwhile, perhaps add to the number of music tracks available in game while you are at it (if possible), and don't get talked into wasting time on a buggy and frankly redundant MP3 player.

I just don't understand why CCP would remove a non-broken feature.

Now if I'm in 0.0 I want to keep my computer as fast as possible instead of opening browsers and stuff.

So its ether the same music in 0.0 I hear. Or nothing.

Bring Dez DUKE BACK!!! You have my vote, plz.

This is a classic case of a one way solution to everything.
An " expert " hot from school, with no Real Life experience,
self-maskarad-ed around by his/her over inflated ego,
says that the numbers say
" do this and that do that ,"
because that is what the monkey in the white lab coat,
taught me in University.

The result is this catastrophy :
an one way solution that fits the " statistics " ,
that completely disrespect the rest of the non-statistics (us).

Consider the definition of "a" statistic
. . it is correct by definition . . think . . .
mind bogeling... it does not mean that you have todo it (follow the statistics).

So, . . . the over ego inflated ,
hot from University, person now says,
"oohh well the statistics say that the players need time to adjust to the changes "
. . . again, that is correct by definition of the word " statistics ".

It seams in-con-cievable to some people to offer multiple ways towards an end.
No, they sit down, barf up what they call " use case scenarios ",
thread out hypothetical player usages, for it, and how the procedure should be done.
Then they look at their ALL MIGHTy STATISTIC numbers that say ,
as usual,
" the consumer is brain dead . . . "

That is by the word "statistics" 's definition ,
correct. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IT.

I am not hating,
i am just screaming,
kind of what a **** victim does,
when the felon says
"oohh well the statistics say that the players need time to adjust to the changes "
