Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Signed.

I too would like the jukebox back. I stopped listening to Eve's music after it was removed. Some of the tracks I really dislike(like the Jovian ones) and those are commonly played in low sec. My favorite music is only played in high sec or in station. I really liked being able to pick my favorites.

Options are always a good thing. What CCP did with the jukebox was a great idea but they should integrate it into the jukebox. Have it like the old jukebox where it would play through the music in order or shuffle and have the optional of picking what you want to listen to . What they could do is tack on an "auto"(could be named differently) that would have it play the way it currently does. Their new system won't go to waste and people who want the old system are happy. Everyone wins.

There's a bit of a difference between "we feel the game is going in a bad direction" and "we want you to spend huge chunks of time on this outdated piece of the client that can be easily worked around and has nothing to do with in-space features" (you know, the things that caused the Summer of Rage in the first place).

If it's a choice between iterating on any of the existing mechanics or even giving us new in-space features and a new jukebox the mechanics/features should win hands down.

After reading this thread a little more closely I have to expand upon my last post. Most recent patches have had multiple "What do you think of these proposed changes" threads and I don't recall ever seeing one about this. I just logged on one day to see that my jukebox is gone.

I seem to recall other dev posts (or blogs, or something else that has word written by devs) that sound a lot like this over the walking in stations issue; not being able to put it back due to coding, putting it back would severely hinder future proposed gameplay, and there are no plans to bring station spinning back. Look at it in retrospect and the game seems to be running quite nicely, despite the infamous "locked door" that you have no foreseeable plans to improve upon.

I thought CCP bypassed the publisher model to not deal with churning new content for the masses for the sole purpose of making money. Granted on larger issues I see CCP as still being a community driven company, but it seems that the threshold for something to be a "large issue" seems to be getting bigger and grander since Incarna. Obliviously this isn't going to make me rage enough to quit Eve, and I highly doubt you care that me making myself and my alt accounts get biomassed will affect your company if I did anyway, but it seems that it is more than just myself is angry over this subject. I have also talked to way more people that I can count in game that haven't even heard of Eve Gate or just don't care to use it but are still angry about the removal of the jukebox.

Angry rant over, continue what you do best CCP (including making Eve a community game).

P.S. If you are saying that you are working on the coding and that is why you can't bring it back, then why haven't I heard anything useful about the new coding like multithreading my CPUs? I want my other 7 cores to be more than head sinks; I don't even use lasers in the first place

SIGNED!

BRING IT BACK!

I sure miss the jukebox. It was a feature that made EVE Online feel more fleshed out. Combined with the tools and the in game browser (which I think could use some work, ahem... youtube), it made EVE Online a real one stop shop and I rarely needed to go back to my desktop, and yeah that's a good thing. Having your own customized playlists was solid.

PLEASE bring the jukebox back CCP, and while your at it, perhaps improve upon it like being able to assign certain playlists to play only when triggering an acceleration gate and stuff like that.

While your at it, check out this guy's music here. His music is inspired by EVE Online and he even takes some tracks and remakes them. After listening to all his EVE Online works, I was left in awe. This is the kind of music we need more of in game. HIRE THIS GUY! Don't get me wrong, I love the EVE classics, but it's old and high time for an update.

Now for something irrelevant, GIVE US A MORE FLESHED OUT WALKING IN STATIONS EXPERIENCE!!! I want to be immersed.

Signed.

I'd love to see jukebox back.

+1, signed, do want, etc...

+1 to this please.

indeed, afterall, they wasted time on that idiotic spin counter apparently *everyone* wanted :|
