Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I just came back to the game after two and half years away, and wouldn't you know, the FIRST thing I noticed was not "wow, the graphics are even better than I remembered!", not "wow, they changed some of the ships quite dramatically!", not "wow, the interface is all weird now, there's lots of new effects!".

It was "where the **** is the Jukebox???".

Yes, I'm pissed that the jukebox is gone, it was that important to me. The new "themed" soundscape is a pile of garbage.

I don't play eve with sounds (multiple clients) unless I have a scout on a WH.
I'd like this back though, when I started eve I was able to skip through annoying music which was gr8.

Give it BACK, my... Jukebox and playlist for him!

/signed.

I really dont like having to find Below the Asteroids on youtube to listen to it, its an immersion breaker and just plan annoying and bandwidth hogging.

CCP RealX has stated the explanation: they didn't want to continue updating it because it ran on old code and was a development resource hog to maintain.


What I don't understand is why they can't build a new one from scratch. It should be a cinch.

Even though the Jukebox is gone, you can still change the In-Game music at your will. If you bring up settings, and bring the music slider from 0 to 100, a different, random song will play depending on your region (nullsec exempt).

Even though this doesn't bring back the Jukebox, it is a solution for changing the music.

I'd still like to see this come back.

With modern python based music players already written and out there, I wonder how long it would take to implement this into the game again. It shouldn't take long and I'd say 35+ pages shows interest.

Give it back

Signed. Let me at least give the option to still randomize the songs or setup a play order.

Only option now is to disable the music and then play the songs from the harddrive with media player.

I don't understand why anyone would be AGAINST bringing the JB back. It doesn't hurt anything or bother anyone. It doesn't take anything away from the players who don't use it. If you don't want to use the JB, then...well...dont effing use it. If you don't use the JB, the music can still change based on where you are and what's happening there at the time. But some of us would like to have control over the in game music. Key term: in game. Not from soundcloud, not from some website, from inside the game itself. People who don't want the JB to come back because they, personally, don't use it don't really have any right to come and tell us that those of us who DO like using it that we shouldn't be able to. That would be like me saying that nobody can use the Perimiter gate in Jita, and that it should be taken away because I, personally, never use it. You want your laggy gate, and I want my free JB usage.
