Dear CCP,
Your videos and graphics are awesome, your ships have been polished and improved a great deal and OMG more to come in the coming months!? Wicked.... but how am I suppose to get all psyched when the music in eve sounds like elevator, mellow electronic ambient sounds that even brian eno would find boring.... sorry, but UPGRADE the sound track in eve, it's badly needed, hire the guys who make trailer music like IMMEDIATE MUSIC or TWO STEPS FROM HELL or this guy Thomas Bergersen.

Just think about how much better eve would be with these soundtracks! Just imagine hunting sleepers to these two tracks..... how awesome???
Thanks for your time. Music matters, please UPGRADE !!!

I know your response to that will be "because it's ****" but is it? Or is it that any music included with the game will get repetitive and boring after a while due to, well, being repeated a whole lot making any major expense by CCP to bring in exceptional music people to produce background music for EvE a waste of money?
The reason the music is "lift" music as you put it is because it's background music. If you want in your face "Ride of the Valkyries" music as you go into battle just do what everyone else does and mute the ingame music, open up your music client of choice and hit your selection.
People's music tastes vary so much that it would be impossible to include a decent selection of every music taste in the game, thus leaving the music generic seems like the best idea to me. You don't like it? Change it yourself.
Thats a load of crap, and let me tell you why. First music is the most powerful identifier and an integral part of the branding, it's not just about "Flight of the Valkyries", it's about style. Eve has a ton of style and has reinvented the look many times yet the music has not changed since 2003. The music currently in eve does not share the same impressive style as the look of the game.
It's not just about me wanting better tracks it's about balancing the game to make it more in line with the rest of the improvements and the music MUST be updated just like the graphics engine. It's all about branding. If CCP put the music from the game together with the trailers they showed at fanfest 2012 it would lose impact! People would tune out! Try it, put the latest trailer to the score of any in game track.... see if it has the same impact.
Why do you think INCEPTION used that ONE note during the trailers, because it stood out and was immediately recognizable by the audience. Now look at movie trailer SINCE inception, all share that ONE note, don't believe me? Look at the latest Prometheus trailer... |

The rest of the Blah.
Any why hasn't the music changed since 2003? Because it's background lift music which is only cared about by a tiny minority of people. There is no MUST about it. It'll be updated if and when CCP think there is a commercial reason to do so and not just because one or two people scream "I want" on the forums. The reason why the music in the promos is good is because there is a commercial reason to make it so. The reason the music ingame isn't is for the same, albeit opposite, reason. Now go on, tell me I'm full of crap again :)
I don't have to tell you what you already know.

We are all in agreement! The music now sucks, most of us TURN IT OFF. That should tell CCP loud and clear that the music should match the action.
Does eve need new tracks? In my opinion yes although here, we are not in agreement.
I really like the pandora idea however this does not solve a very simple problem, the branding of eve music.
If the music was good and more people turned it ON as oppose to OFF I am willing to bet CCP could even be selling EVE soundtracks for .99 a piece which would pay for their investment of hiring a professional musician, and possibly even make money in the end. |

Again, yes you can do that now, that is not my point however. If you are going to have "eve specific" tracks in game they should match the rest of the world and help "immerse" you in the universe.
The latest trailer, where capsuleers step inside a sleeper complex is "perfect" to set the mood and feel of the visuals. It is a compliment to the story and helps you immerse yourself in that environment.
The problem with the current tracks is that we notice them too much, they are like crayon colors on top of a master oil painting, it does not fit. |

Maybe even tap into pandora... And everyone outside of the US can get stuffed, right? :V Any new eve music will be turned off pretty quickly by most people, regardless of how good it is. There are only so many times you can listen to the same tracks before they get annoying. Doesn't matter how much CCP spend on music, the effect will be exactly the same.
Thank GOD people like you are not running CCP, you are probably satisfied with the ships from 2003 in eve, I bet you're one of those people who cries to CCP to "keep the original scorpion" hull in game. You obviously have no interest in making the game better so please troll elsewhere. |
