Default Combat Music Really Sucks - Make Optional?
I absolutely HATE the combat music in Nighfall, and despite numerous pleas on this list, it has made it into GWEN as well. Please, please... give us a checkbox to disable it? I just want the regular music, no combat rutkis It completely destroys the wonderful music. It's ADHD. It keeps switching back and forth back and forth, and completely destroys the aural experience. Pretty Please make it optional?

An option to disable combat music would be great. Sometimes I'm in the mood for it, sometimes I'm not. Having the option to choose would be very welcome.

Agreed, make it optional.

On the same subject, it'd be great to include pauses in the explorable music. 10 minutes in an area and I hate the music.

Music volume all the way down = no music. I think it's already optional. :\

I love the combat music, personally, but I see no harm in making it optional.

So... /signed

I turned the volume down all the way on all in-game music about an hour after I started playing.

I love the background music in this game, but dearly dislike it being interrupted by the battle music.

So you keep the music up but the sound off?

With Nightfall, since I had the soundtrack, I would turn off the in-game music and loop a few of the tracks off the CD. The fact that there were just a few of battle songs and that combat occured so frequently reeeeally got to me.

I suggest being able to adjust ambient and combat music levels separately. And maybe throw in a "frequency" tab for ambient music so that it only plays the ambient music for a short while every so often; the music in EOTN is just so...how to say it..."disney-like" in composition that it gives me a headache listening to it for too long, although it would be just fine if it played only once in a while.

I like the combat music but it annoys me you never get to hear all of it so I downloaded the soundtrack from directsong so I can hear it's track in its entirety.

Love the GWEN music, but don't have a problem with making certain elements optional.
