Curse

Duncan Idaho · Jul 19, 2008, 01:30 PM // 13:30

This is something I've been thinking about for quite a long time now : I like alot the soundtrack from Jeremy Soule, and I always play with the game music on in PvE. But there is something I really find annoying...

Wandering through the Mirror of Lyss with the ambient Vabbian music, my path suddenly crosses a patrolling group of plants and the rumbling sounds of battle overwhelms the peaceful sounds of the desert. Awww no ... another in-fight music ...

Well I guess those who took the time to read me have understood what I mean. I wish there was an option that would prevent those "in-fights" music, would it be in GW:EN or in NF.

You could just buy the soundtrack and listen to that.

I agree Duncan, some of the "Fight" music can be annoying, especially the EotN ones.

um turn it down

Konig Des Todes · Jul 19, 2008, 03:30 PM // 15:30

As I always have iTunes playing in the background, I never notice a difference between music in and out of fights. All I know is that the sounds of the fighting (grunts, clashing of blades, etc) can get annoying, which is why I play music in the background. If that is your problem, the music and the sound effects can have different volumes via options (F11).

Turn it off.

Listen to some good Drum and Bass, Tool, or Norma Jean.

Problem solved.

There's always the option of turning sounds and/or music off and buying the soundtrack, as was mentioned. But since I always have the sound off anyway it doesn't bother me.

Or, they could implement the suggestion the OP is asking for, and he can continue to listen to the music he actually WANTS to listen to, not what you want him to listen to.

Problem actually solved.

And put certain songs on repeat while in those areas, then manually switch to the appropriate music for the next area, rinse and repeat.

Or, they could add what he is asking for, and he can just play the game no worries or extra hassle.

Turning off the sound isn't really an option, when he wants to listen to the music, just not a certain type.

Totally...make a wish that will probably never happen or be proactive and solve the issue.

Anduin · Jul 19, 2008, 05:31 PM // 17:31

Did anyone read what he wrote?

Seriously, how would this negatively impact those of you against it?

I don't have the sound on ever and just listen to my own music in the background, but that doesn't mean I am against features that help other people and don't affect me whatsoever.

Not when it doesn't actually solve his particular issue. What works for some, doesn't work for others.

Your getting philosophical over a simple problem.

The answer is really apparent as I agree with the OP yet solved my issue and he/she could easily do the same.Sure it's not in-game implemented but this change will NEVER happen so let's be realistic and try to help the player out.

Make your own music...turn off the in-game, turn up the FX and play what ever background music you want.

Simple really.

Konig Des Todes · Jul 19, 2008, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Anduin... I highly suggest clicking the edit button and merging your posts, not post 4 at once.

And anyways, the reason why people are against it is because of two things:
1) It doesn't bother them either way, so they just don't care
2) People would rather see more important things in GW then a music issue.

I do like the in game music, but I prefer listening to things like Beethoven instead of the same thing over and over... and over.

An option to disable battle music would be trivial to Anet to implement, so I don't see why not. I prefer the exploration music and would probably play with battle music disabled in NF and EotN if I could.

Listening to bad music like Tool doesn't solve the issue. You're a tool for listening to them anyway.

Just buy the soundtrack if you want to listen to it all the time. If you don't have $15 or whatever it costs, I hate to encourage it, but use P2P filesharing, it's probably on there.

They actually ADDED this feature because it was something that so many peope wanted. It helps to create a more immersive environment.

/notsigned for me.

It was obviously a generic suggestion and concept most people here seemed to grasp.

Sorry you missed it.

Music elitists make me lol.

I though you can switch just the battle sound off under Option - Sound??
