The solution is really quite simple, and there's a rationale filled with nothing but pure logic for bringing back the Jukebox.

The dynamic music system is great. You can think of it as an experience enhancer, really. Working in the same way as the music does in a singleplayer game. You move to another area, the music changes. In-game actions change the music, etc.

It's all great and dandy, and while i was OUTRAGED by the removal of the jukebox, i'll agree with what CCP have done. PARTIALLY.

This whole dynamic music system, in short, is basically a GREAT WAY - no, the ULTIMATE way to play the game's soundtrack in STOCK-STANDARD format. It works, it's fine.

BUT... going back to that logic i mentioned earlier; it makes no sense to just remove the Jukebox and give us NO OPTION to select an individual track FROM the Jukebox, and/or import our own music files. It's just silly.



So, CCP. Keep the dynamic music system as a DEFAULT. Because it's a great default setting, and great way to immerse players. CCP could enforce, or go as far to say that it is the definitive way of experiencing the game's soundtrack, and taking the game in as a whole. I'd even suggest maybe tweaking it a bit so music changes depending on what the player is doing; expanding upon what you've done.

But the freedom of choice still stands. Give us the OPTION of using a fully modular Jukebox, as we've been using for years.

Removing that freedom makes no sense whatsoever. Keep the dynamic music system, but also keep the Jukebox and let us make our own decisions in regards to the in-game music.

That is hands down, the best solution. One that works for everyone. The players who want that freedom, and CCP, to develop every facet of the game, even the music.

So, yeah. I'm for bringing back the Jukebox. And honestly, i don't see why anyone wouldn't be. It's been around for so long. It's something us long-time players have grown accustomed to. Those of us that have been in New Eden in the days of the Jukebox. P And you know what? It really is quite the feature. It really gives the game a tad bit of charisma for letting folks choose which track they want to play. And of course, importing their own music.

There are just times when i'm playing the game where i want to simply feel... and put on Doomed Forever. Be taken away by EVE.

Why not just bring back the "Crappy" one that didn't support some codecs.

I get the idea most people want it to listen to Eve music, not their own.


No dev time lost on other features, the ppl that want the JB back are happy..

Whats the problem?

Bring it back. The same few songs keep repeating, and I miss the option of being able to shuffle the tracks.

This.

How hard can it be to assign one single person to make this happen as a matter of choice?
Go into options and turn on Jutebox.
Devs get what they want by default and players that so want this, get it.

I wouldn't mind if they were distracted rebuilding the jukebox instead of breaking more core gameplay mechanics like they did with war decs.

Oh, another thing: for those who like eve soundtrack and live in 0.0 space, are u able to image what does mean to hear that ridiculous static sound all the time? That is just the right way to force us to switch off the music in game...

The old jukebox needs to be brought back and have a switch that on one side is the new dynamic atmosphere thing and other traditional usage. The new thing is nice, but a lot of the time people like to play their own stuff or change song and that ability has now been removed and now requires loading an external program to fulfill.
