Player Features and Ideas Discussion

+! I'll sign it. I miss having the option of tailoring eve tunes to my situation.

Bring it back omg!

Come on, bring the damn thing back, it was one of the things i really enjoyed when i started playing
This thing brought 32 pages of positive feedback on it, do we need pitchforks?

LOL CCP will not address any issue not sponsored by Goonswarm flooding the forums with threads.

As i said before, this will just keep going a few complaints at a time for years before they intruduce an "all new never before seen in an MMO feature" of being able to pick your own music in game.

This. Goonswarm make a thread. They tell their alliance to +1 it. OP in thread has 300+ likes. CCP assumes this means the community agrees. CCP acts.

+1

POS getting overhauled took five years to make it to 50. and it's a major issue. There's also been about a dozen other threads demanding it back, this is just the longest running one.

I used to play back around 2011, and I returned to find the Jukebox gone.

Now the thing that bothers me is how little response this is getting from CCP, us Vets are now left here and expected to just shut up and sit down while the memory of the JukeBox fades away. A highly disappointing move by CCP as the control that all the features give me, adds to what EVE is about. I am glad that there are many out there who agree, we want to chose what we're listening to, it's our bloody universe, if not that it's at least our own space ship.

Sure "you can load up Sound Cloud" but it's not the same, it uses up stupid amounts of resources for those who are limited and breaks immersion whenever you alt tab to skip the stupid track of someone trying to do a cover of an awesome song. What else, am I supposed to download the music and listen to it in Windows Media Player? In the past we've had to compromise, such as with the browser's limited functionality, but we understand that it's for our own security. (Although there should be an option to run java on trusted pages :P Anyway back on topic.) Thing is, this time it was just removed from us, no reasoning other than CCP assuming that we will like listening to what the game wants us to hear. If you were going to update the Audio, why not update the Jukebox at the same time, or at least give notice that it's out of date and you want to implement it in the near future.

I don't know how to sign your petition, but count this as my signature.

CCP we want the Jukebox back, please for the sake of all that is not WoW, bring it back. Please don't let it slip off as a distant memory.

TL;DR

CCP please bring back the Jukebox. Don't let this fade off as a distant memory, you're letting down the veterans who used to use this. The same people who allowed the game to be what it is today.

Yes bring back... for the glory of Jukebox!

I don't really miss the jukebox, because I have VLC running on my secondary screen, but then obviously some do miss it. How about this: instead of returning it as a slightly outdated plain jukebox, why not turn it into a social feature?

Allow the Jukebox to:

a) play songs according to predefined events in the game (combat, traveling, ...)
b) play songs from an URL (either radio streams or direct song urls)
c) share song-setups and radio URLs via ingame links

With these features I could setup my personal music and share it with friends, while the fact that all music shared must come from an external source elegantly circumvents all legal issues. More social, more fun, no problems.
