Player Features and Ideas Discussion

/signed

Not buying the excuses. It was a functionality that many players loved and it was removed - presumably so CCP could waste dev time on Dust.

Bring it back.

I don't see why the existing music system can't just be added to the jukebox. Allow it to automatically switch the music depending on combat/system you are in, and what you are doing, but also allow it to be changed, and for us to add our own music into it. There is no reason for you guys to remove features from the game just because you didnt like the old music selection...

To be honest as an audio department if you are indeed responsible for audio management in the game...that should be your primary focus. I fail to see where this hurts further game developing features unless you are speaking of additional aaudio features like fixing EVE Voice for example.

Another issue here is taking control out of the players hands completely. Granted the jukebox may have had some incompatability issues with specific imported sound clips; however, the previous version of the jukebox that only allowed the music within eve to be played did not. You could not add in your own music, BUT you could choose which song played even if it was Below the Asteroids 50 times in a row. It is that level of control you have taken away.

As for the current state of the jukebox. I am sorry to be rather blunt, but you (the audio dept) are responsible for working out issues revolving new features such as a jukebox where you can import music. However, I am forced to now rely on spotify or pandora to listen to my own music when CCP has flipped head over heals to integrate twitch functions into the client? Sorry but thats rubbish. I would rather had seen development to fix the jukebox and THEN add in twitch.

Development resources aren't being wasted here in my opinion its not like we are having to sacrifice a new ship in place of a jukebox. Its simple the audio department can work out the jukebox and actually WORK on audio...amazing stuff!

I encourage the jukebox's return and lets start fixing stuff that players ARE in fact using before adding new content. Your metrics say that not many are using the jukebox. Unfortunately your metrics are not telling you that the majority of those figures come from alt accounts being utilized at the same time as a primary. So if its saying 20% of eve actually uses it...its a fair bet that its closer to 60-80% of eve. Not everyone will have the jukebox running on 3-4 clients when they need only listen through one client.

First of all I loved the juke box, yes it had a few flaws and then you gave the ability to play my personal music in to the juke box it was Great.

Yes we know there was bugs, Newsflash eve is full of bugs, hell I got a bug report from 3 years ago that still hasn't been corrected.

Please don't try and control us in our option's:



Do we not pay for this game paying your wages sir??? I think we do and we the customer want the retrieval of what was all read there in game. So what if it slows the development of the game slightly, I mean what you don't have the code for the jukebox? oh wait the source code can be found in previous versions that any decent company would always back up their work so the coding would be able to be retrieved if you looked hard enough.

There was contact with the player base about the juke box was dictated to us that it would be removed.

Yes I know that your metrics say that not many people used the juke box, Ok I will give you that, but please what do your metrics say to the percentage of people using the jukebox with unique IP addresses? I mean commonly I have multiple accounts running at anyone time, there go I am not going to have multiple jukeboxes playing am I? So I have 1. I know a lot of pilots that have multiple accounts that also enjoyed the jukebox and would use it.

Please now look at your metrics and tell us what percentage of people keep the game music on. and then compare it to the number of people with the jukebox, and make sure that this survey is don't from a unique IP address point if view otherwise then your argument is a mute point.

+1 signed BRING BACK THE JUKE BOX (which gave us the player a choice of audio)

PS
There has been very little come out with from the audio department in recent times, wouldn't it be nice if they actually worked for their pay check?

where are you getting this 5% figure from. We are wanting facts not hearsay or your point is worthless

Since I made this thread its been consistently at the front few pages. When will CCP take note? When will they respond?

What I want to know is how big is the biggest petition yet for CCP, cause I would bet this is it :)

Actually I think the threadnaught for giving back Incarna station environments tops this

I am certain that Thousand Papercuts tops this by a long shot, but if we're only counting petitions that are still on the table and haven't been formally and publicly addressed, this is probably somewhere near the top.

+1 please bring it back i really miss it
