Thread: Raising the importance of our instruments!
NewJedi wrote:
FWIW, I made a general reference to this idea in my most recent post in the Correspondent Forum. This is the kind of idea that appeals to the devs the most. It's feasible to implement within the current code base; it wouldn't require a massive rewriting of code; and it wouldn't stir up any significant opposition from any other profession.
Yeah, because God forbid the Developers actually do any significant work for us. We're so not worth doing any extensive work on.
It would give us more to do -- sussing out what the best materials are for the best instruments, spending more time crafting, etc. In the long run, I'm optimistic we'll get some of these changes. In the short run, I'm not, just because the devs have other priorities in the short run: JTL and the combat revamp chief among them.
Incidentally, Echinacea, I can certainly understand if people turn the sound off. The best music gets old when you hear it every day for fifteen months. Me, I always play with player music on. I still enjoy hearing Folk and Ballad after all these months. Call me crazy.
Actually, I do move the Music slider back on during Folk and Ballad, too
They sound cool. I've been messing more with my Playback Droid, too - anything to make me sound more interesting. I run a /bandflo macro with my droid, and I turn /bandflo off - then I equip the same horn as what the droid is playing, and flourish away. It's like dueling horns, sounds pretty cool and nicely layered.
Dueling bandfills sound wicked too, if you fudge with it a bit.

You need an amendment for that statement Warryyr, both myself and NJ, and possibly a few others around here have played a lot longer than 4 months and I still love Folk, Ballad, Waltz, Jazz and even SW3 hehe

I, of course, mean everyone I know in-game 
And you're right, it's always a bad idea to use words like "everyone."
So, here's my amendment:
So many peopleI know have Player Music turned off. I'm more entertaining by the crazy stuff I say and /emote than with any of the so-called "skills" I possess as an Entertainer.

I guess I must be one of the rare freaks out there that NEVER turns off the music. I'll leave the cantina if the music sounds bad. I don't even mind SW1 and rock.
I figure it's my responsibility to make sure what I hear sounds good. If the group I'm in is hurting my ears, I try to suggest anything from bandflourishes, flourishing at all, changing the song, changing instruments, whatever. And if that doesn't work, I might end up leaving the group to soothe my ears. I'm more about the music than the xp, so I'm willing to make that sacrifice.

after a year...and i still listen to game music....I think I'm one of the last....
but i wont listen to certain songs anymore ... starwars1 only if i am playing a mand with my droid on bandfill, rock i wont listen too anymore, starwars 2 and 3 are very rare and only played if someone requests it or for helping group members exp. virtuoso... nearly never... the song just has zero star wars feel for me... sounds too much like a second rate performance at a vegas casino/
