Player Features and Ideas Discussion

I had a brief chat with CCP today in the Help channel, and they seemed unaware that several music tracks have been missing ever since the jukebox was removed. Whether they are simply not playing or they have been removed from the game files is not clear. I said I would make a thread here listing all the missing tracks, and they said they'd bring it up with the team. I know there's a Soundcloud with all the tracks on, but it would be so much better to hear the tracks back in the game

Off the top of my head, here are some tracks I know to be missing:

Below The Asteroids
Surplus Of Rare Artifacts
Miner Stories
I Saw Your Ship

Tracks which I think are missing but not 100% sure:

Merchants, Looters and Ghosts
It Ends Here
Nouvelle Rouvenor Hero
Smoke From Down Below

If anyone could add to the list that would be great. Also if you're certain I've made a mistake please tell me and I'll remove it from the list.

Is this in the wrong section? I mailed the two ISD forum mods but neither of them have replied.

Well, I reported the thread and messaged two ISDs with no response from anyone, so I guess it's staying here.

Anyway, if anyone could add to the list or highlight mistakes I would be grateful.

One last bump.

A few of those listed are the heart and soul of the game, music wise. Removing them is pretty much blasphemy and showcases a lack of understanding about what EVE is and was.

Funny man, but no.

They have a habit of removing things from the game, and putting those resources on third party websites, in order to make things "easier" on them, ostensibly so they can focus on making the game eve online, even though its really finished.

One day, all of eve online will have to be accessed through third party websites. They'll probably put combat sounds on soundcloud next, and remove those from the game as well. That's the way CCP, in its lack of understanding, does things.

I started eve in mid 2000's and the music was amazing. Now its dull, repetitive, and lacks control. "But you can just manually manipulate it out of game in a browser!". Yeah, that's efficient for me as a player, and not enjoyable to alt+tab every few minutes, when I could have tiny screen in game to control the music.

I have not listened to the music in Eve since late 2007, when I started turning it off so I could hear people talk on fleet comms. Thank you for reminding me that Eve had great tracks like this!

I just get the same track playing over and over and over and over again

the only reason it stops playing is because I
a) use an acceleration gate
b) exit the game

I honestly didn't think there was any music in EVE anymore so I'm not sure why you are asking for specific tracks to be reinstated. There are sound effects in the background most notably in the Amarrian & SoE NPC stations but in most other areas such as mission deadspaces, asteroid belts etc there is next to no sound effects bar the interactions between ship systems and the game environment/other ships.

I think it's been like this since the orchestra played the songs from EVE at Fanfest and then the jukebox was dropped in the dustbin. The phrase 'EVE has sound?' is therefore sadly still true.

Also good catch on the list.
