mEsSiAh II	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:03:00 - [1] I've just downloaded the new renders by trinity. The ships look awesome! Does that mean that stations and jumpgates will get the same treatment? What about giant cans and jet cans? What about drones? At this point I realise that there are actually tons of stuff to remodel to make the graphics upgrade successful. Keep up the good work! One thing I would like to bring up is the sounds in the game. Will they get some love too? Is it being looked into? If anyone has ever remembered the video "Angelice Prime", the missiles sounded so "full" instead of sprats and plats of our rockets/light missiles. Even torps used to sound so much more devastating. Autocannons, artillery, railguns currently sound very useless compared to hearing the amarrian lasers. Don't tell me about DPS and whatever, I just want them to sound better! If you looked at the videos posted at www.eve-online.com.cn (EVE china), the ships have the nice "humming" sound to it when your camera gets reasonably close. I don't hear any of that in-game. When the camera moves around and ships zoom past the video also features some "zoom" to the ships (frigates). I don't hear any of that in-game too. Well honestly I wouldn't want to hear all the sounds in a fleetbattle, but I think it should still be done to make gameplay more immersive. Give EVE the epic feeling and quality it deserves!

Suze'Rain	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:15:00 - [2] got to agree, eve's weakest point at this time is in audio: it's currently messy, over-repetitive, intrusive, and causes more lag in battles. I daresay 95% of players shut the sound off completely after a while. Definately in need of a foley artist to work on more audio elements of eve. I know I could think up the content, but I sure as hell could'nt implement audio to save my life.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:17:00 - [3] I'm probably one of the only players who uses sound, even in PVP...and that's just becausee I'm so damned stubborn. It definitely needs improvement. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Eternal Fury	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:28:00 - [4] All I want with the sound it the GOD DAMNED warp sounds to be turned down. I mean COMEON! Why does it drown out ALL other sounds. It's SPACE FOR CRIPES SAKE. All the sounds are produced from out pods sound database. You dont' think pod pilots can go into theri ships version of Windows XP and edit the god damned sound files?? Sheesh. Small PvE/PvP Corp looking for Members. 2-10Mill SP. Send me a EvE Mail.

One very important feature we NEED is to be able to use the client to adjust/edit the individual sounds without "hacking" the client, which is of course against the EULA. -------- Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!
Tasuric Orka	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:45:00 - [6] The sounds could use some loving.. A new cloak sound (especially for actual cloaking, and not the invisibility stuff when youjumped) Sounds in belts, that of roids colliding (i dont care if they arent actually colliding, i want some atmosphere damnit) Impact sounds, different ones for shield impacts, armor, and hull, depending on projectile and damage done. (so no GRRRHHBOOOM sounds for glancing hits) Ship destructon sounds (with eyecandy)having several subsystems go boom before the entire hull nukes itself. I could go on.. and on.. and on.. ________________________________________________ I survived Veto and all i got was this lame sig.
vecdran	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:46:00 - [7] Game could definitely use a sound upgrade, many areas are rather weak.
Zulak	Posted - 2006.05.10 02:55:00 - [8] speak of graphic update, anyone knows if there are any screenshot from the new graphic engine?
mEsSiAh II	Posted - 2006.05.10 03:03:00 - [9] Check the devblog for graphical upgrades :) I'm glad to see more capsuleers interested in giving their aural firmware a boost. Part of my other worry is that with the new graphical upgrades, the game won't sound as good as it looks which will totally spoil it.

w0rmy	Posted - 2006.05.10 03:26:00 - [11] Originally by: Suze'Rain gI daresay 95% of players shut the sound off completely after a while. Eve has sound? Was on TS with a corpmate, had to ask him what that noise was in the background... turns out its eves sound effects! Of course people whine, its cause your sig sucks
Victor Valka	Posted - 2006.05.10 03:51:00 - [12] Yes, the sound is abysmal and could use an upgrade once in three years. AFAIK CCP has done very little to upgrade the sound since launch. Which is bad, m'kay?
Constantinee	Posted - 2006.05.10 04:29:00 - [13] yep i agree id like the milleexplosions to sound way more devestating along with making the engins sound way better Want a Cheap Sig? -V- Comedian
Phelan Lore	Posted - 2006.05.10 04:53:00 - [14] Does anyone even have their sound on?
Hllaxiu	Posted - 2006.05.10 04:55:00 - [15] I bet it doesn't get dev attention because all the devs, like most of us players, have turned off the sound long ago! --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Leda Blackhowl	Posted - 2006.05.10 05:23:00 - [16] i dont need sound - TS is far anoth noise...
Tachy	Posted - 2006.05.10 05:36:00 - [17] Considering we have the third retail UI, the 1.5th grafics engine and a lot of new content in game it might be time to get a replacement for the currently used beta sound system that had been promised to be the first part of EVE to be worked on as soon as the game goes gold. --==*-- Megadon CCP wanted a well known artist and celebrity to test the new font so it's approval would be well known. They got Ray
Pyrok	Posted - 2006.05.10 05:38:00 - [18] I think sound isn't used enough to really require any work on it (At least not at this moment). Most of the time it's off for any kind of fleet op because of lag, and would probably be off if it weren't, as most people need to hear TS

Kalaan Oratay	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:47:00 - [22] I use the sound to, but only cause I've a set of logitech z5500's I had to sell my soul to buy, and I have to justify them to my girlfriend. The sound is very dated, and unfortunately portrays the game as being very dated too. ---
Crumplecorn	Posted - 2006.05.10 07:56:00 - [23] I like the sound, especially the warp sound, which was one of the big things that attracted me to Eve. It was just so cool. If they change the sound they better give us the option to change it back in case they screw it up. ---------- Sorry but that link contains nawty language. -wystler "Discussing moderation is not allowed" - Ivan K "Ranting is prohibited" - Teblin
Lori Carlyle	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:15:00 - [24] I had the sound in eve turned on for the 1st 3-4 warp jumps i made then turned it off. it's crap & does nothing for the game PINK PINK PINK PINK PINK ERISGREEN
FireFoxx80	Posted - 2006.05.10 08:45:00 - [25] Getting some nice 5.1 sound into the mix, with EAX support in the environments (gas clouds, in-station, etc) would be grand. CCP also needs to get off the fence regarding this Jukebox modification/EULA issue. The EVE songs are great, I have them in my iPod playlist, but sometimes thumping trance is king (mmm 5,1 sub). Anyway, they started down the situational music road with the complex music, it might be fun to continue down that route with more songs.
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:05:00 - [26] Yep, a sound upgrade is very much needed and i havent seen this mentioned by the devs at all. --- The Eve Wiki Project

I find its easyer to just turn off the music and use winamp/foobar2k/blah. Not that i've had sound on at all in the last 8 months... ---------------- teqNo > I don't read eve-o forums, they bore me
Gabriel Karade	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:25:00 - [28] I always have my sound on. Ion blasters, decent volume - sounds like you really are spanking the enemy from one end of the solar system to the other. Electrons and neutrons just sound too wimpy ---------- - Office Linebacker -
Winter Star	Posted - 2006.05.10 09:59:00 - [29] I have the sound on. I love it. I also run WMP for music. the game seems so dead w/o the sound on i don't know how you can stand it. Autocannons sound wimpy? wtf are you taking? a full rack sounds insane. Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
The Wizz117	Posted - 2006.05.10 10:05:00 - [30] o yea and the missiles sounds are somemes SO friking anoying its making me deaf
