Wonderful they care so much about us that they design new music for OUR game, isn't it?

Oh... wait...


On the other hand, it's GREAT for those people that wanted to play UX. Now they get a sample of what could have been.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- Interesting.

Hmm, I like the point ya' bring to the table:
So UO2 & UXO & secret project never came into frution.
Yet surely we have and will see some parts of them in UO since EA/Mythic are still under the impression that 1 can be stronger / more united than several (and I agree - why fight amongst multiple UO's, like EQ chose to do, like 2d & KR, shh, when one could evolve on a united, don't laugh, front); & also since we now have a game engine capable of doing more than what the past could.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yeah, but with all of the "rebirth of UO" speak couldn't they also have given us new versions of the game's original music rather than a set of rips from another game that was canceled that don't fit in our game? Or even entirely new songs DESIGNED for the areas in UO? I despise the ML songs, but at least they were made for their areas.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I must have mentioned this somewhere before, cause it bugs the crap outta me, so there must have been a public crabbing about it

the dungeon music is awful, just plain awful.... and intrusive (well, I'm assuming it's dungeon music, since the onliest time I've heard it was the one time I managed to get into Destard, [walked there, yes] and before getting stuck and dead, heard the music, but it may be just battle music... whatever, it's bad stuff)

no, that's not the most words I've ever put into parenthesis, thank you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Is it really THAT awful that you had to rant about it?



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, in my opinion it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...

Hmm I played for a while last night on a new character (finally filled my 6th slot) doing the new player stuff in New Haven (instead of simply twinking the character) and the music there was fine IMO.

If they decide to rip the music from a canceled game, that's fine by me as long as it fits the locale it is used.

Is it really all that surprising considering that since LBR we've had Ascension music ported en-masse into UO?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Never said that was alright either. Been complaining about it since they took away the option of using the midi files. Only reason I wasn't louder is that Techarin put up new tracks every once in a while and we could replace the music if we wanted. With KR we don't have that option, and if they really wanted to make the game "reborn" they could have done it themselves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

...

Yet.

One could make the argument that if the game and thus the music files were not released then they are technically doing that very thing.

Personally, I'll take the music on the merits of the piece and the locale it is played (basically: Do I like the music and does it fit the location/scenario?) regardless of where it is "from".

I mean if we wanted to take your gripe out to the extreme, then you would have to complain every time they redo Stones considering how many Ultima games it's been in. (Yes, I know I'm gunning after The Sacred Ultima Cow™ by saying this, but it's to make a point)

If/when we get the ability to change music to what we want, I FULLY plan on swapping some pieces out for the Ultima V: Lazarus soundtrack, but I'm not going to make a stink that they're using resources that would otherwise go to waste.

I'm more of a "I don;t like that song" or "I don't like that VERSION of the song" than a "How dare you use music from..." person anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Well Crysta, you are shorted sighted and one midned, and evidently you don't have a clue what Ultima is then. I'm sorry you have such strong feelings and pretending to be running a smeer and hate campaign against something you know little of. UO is definitely NOT Ultima if that's all you base your information on.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


This wasn't intended to be a secret - I honestly thought we'd mentioned it at some point. Sorry if you felt bait-n-switched!

Well seeing as i've been complaining about the music since late May, you've had plenty of chances to explain where it came from. If it was something for us to know you could have said as such then, especially since my complaints were voiced somewhere where you guys would have to have seen it.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OUCH !!!!!!!!!!

With everything else that needs to be worked on and/or fixed in UO, is this really that big a deal?

Most people turn off the music anyway so I don't understand what the fuss is all about.

Actually it is pretty easy to understand. The OP's opinion is the only one that matters and why hasn't EA done everything humanly, superhumanly, or even inhumanly possible to make him/her happy. If you don't believe me just ask him/her

Vepl

Uo Has Music..lol

Exactly. And of course your going to use resources that might already be developed and not yet used. Makes a great deal of sense business wise. Driping about where the music came from, pitiful.

IMHO

Exactly really I think some people that play this game just like to gripe. And while some gripes are valid griping abuot something like music when the game has a TON of other issues is just dumb.

I want to complain that a sash I have is now Pink when it used to be Fuschia...change it back, gripe gripe followed by pointless gripe.....

Agreed, pretty sad that someone would cause such a fuss over music, gawd.

I'm more worried that whoever did the griping expected to be appeased whether or not he/she was the only one griping.

When it comes down to 1 individual complaining about 1 (very) small (and as close to insignificant as possible) thing in a game in which thousands upon thousands of others play and the crew working on the game takes the time out to answer this person is VERY disturbing for 2 reasons.

1) The crew obviously wants to please the gamer(s), but has taken to going to the lowest possible level to do it. This is bad because I'd label this as "Extreme Fine Tuning" where EVERYTHING else is 100% up and running without a bug in site, as we all know, that is furthest from reality and they're still in the chiseling portion (cutting out large chuncks, the sandpaper hasn't even come out yet).

2) The fact that the OP is practically demanding an answer/change for this 1 (very) small (and as close to insignificant as possible) thing in game speaks VOLUMES about how some of the player base actually feel. Sad, very sad.
