Iamkills Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 They need to add a "continous" music option like they have in World of Warcraft...I want to hear the music pretty much 24/7 with 10 seconds in between to either repeat or change tracks...It really cannot be that hard to do that right? If Blizzard can do it...Bioware sure as hell can! definitely i logged into wow and Elwynn forrest theme started playing and it gets you immersed in the game , SWTOR all i hear is footsteps and 15seconds of music .

Sadly I don't think SWTOR has any equivalent version of the Elwynn forest theme - at least no equivalence in terms of the 'feel' it produces, especially with the lack of ambient sounds in the environment (no, npc chatter doesn't help).

Caribroo Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 You want music? You only get it once every 20 minutes when you use buff. End of rine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daMarek Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 all i hear is footsteps and 15seconds of music . That's IMO the best part about getting the speeder.

RabidPopcorn Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 yes they do KOTOR had a GREAT soundtrack Manaan theme :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQTWteCcRSw That's what I'm talking about. Sadly, there's just not enough of such music when questing; and a big aggravating factor is the lack of a 'loop music' option - I've played SWTOR to 50 but I don't seem to be able to recall any of the music of the planets I've been to. SWTOR's main theme is pretty much all i can associate with SWTOR right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckling Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Agreed. I like the music in the game. The only problem is, it's not used very much. Most of the time there are no music at all and when it starts, it won't last long. After trying republic characters I got the feeling that they have more music than Imps have. It might be a wrong impression however. Anyway. More music plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbara Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Hey TS If you haven't played this game check it out just to see how really good music can set the mood and make everything seem that much cooler. Here are some tracks from the original Deus Ex game. This is what would be playing as you explore cities and underground bases. Thrilling stuff for a $100,000 game: NYC Streets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOOHWOs0j8k Majestic 12 Labs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I70ylDrTeL8 DuClare Chateau: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DKmER-Jsfk Edited February 26, 2012 by Gilbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett-Rinn Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Yep most quite MMO in the world. For the life of me I can't understand how the devs would think that is a good thing and it takes away so much from the game...but it's not only the music the totally messed up NPC voices that you can still hear even though your'e miles away and the Companion voices that say the exact same thing over and over again. Honestly the sound engineer should be embarrassed by this. Sound is a huge part of a successful MMO and Bioware really missed the mark here and what makes matters worse they are ignoring it.

Iamkills Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 I've heard plenty of music from the movies. I suggest bioware ban players like you who do nothing but troll. troll ? theres LOADS of people who agree that this game need a boost in the music and i bet bioware themselfs would say they messed up in the music department Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarbacca Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 They use a lot of prequel music. Along with music from the original trilogy in certain boss fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlacidDragon Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Turned off the music here, as its mostly quiet anyway with it on. If i recall, one of my companions was humming on Imperial March in a cutscene though, hehe (think it was Ashara or Jaesa, cant remember). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotpar Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Those 5 times I actually heard music playing in the game, some of those songs were iconic star wars songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mecher Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 troll ? theres LOADS of people who agree that this game need a boost in the music and i bet bioware themselfs would say they messed up in the music department so music must be playing 24/7 in the game? As I said, there is music in the game, not my fault you can't listen to it for some odd reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabenschwinge Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Actually it's not a remix. It's new recordings - with an actual symphonic orchestra, not just shifting blocks on the computer. Imho the music one of the aspects that's truly great about SW:TOR. I like how the different, well known themes are slightly modified according to mood of a given situation and the themes from Knights of the Old Republic are used as well... PS: Doesn't the Star Wars theme come as is when this typical text-in-space thing comes up after creation of a new character? Maybe it would be better to add more of those, at the beginning of every chapter or so. Edited February 26, 2012 by Rabenschwinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhaers Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) One word gives the reason: Rights. The music of John Williams costs a fortune, assuming that Mr Williams was even interested in letting BW use much of the music.

Do you know how much it cost for one minute of his music for Family Guy's Blue Harvest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athrins Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) I agree and I wish they would loop some Ep V tracks in the game, or from any Ep for that matter, you know.. like all other Star Wars games do. Remember playing Jedi Knight in silence or just a couple choruses popping up here and there? No - when I think back of my dear memories of those games I hear the music from all the different gameplay levels and cinematic moments. There was always that constant feel of Star Wars when playing. In this game I'm now and then reminded that this is the same universe as the Star Wars I know, like when watching those rare epic cinematic moments with lightsabers, blasters, epic music and drama (music and drama being the big ones; this game needs more epic music and more emotional conflicts). I haven't heard Duel of the Fates in this game, period. HOW IS THERE A 2012 STAR WARS GAME WITH NO DUEL OF THE FATES?! One word gives the reason: Rights. The music of John Williams costs a fortune, assuming that Mr Williams was even interested in letting BW use much of the music. I don't know much about rights and whatnot, but I'd almost bet something on that John Williams music comes with the IP and isn't separate - provided it's actually produced FOR the IP.
