Musician Archive

Right now, musician is a pretty straight forward profession, and doesnt have an extreme amount of depth. I enjoy it very much, and I'm working on having my own band and makingmy own "songs";but I'd like to see some stuff added to make it more fun, esp after getting to master.

Justa fewideas.

Have additional songs, intruments, or flourishes that can be bought for additional music xp (say 100k each) after you get master.

Be able to create custom flourishes --be in ten notes you can arrange. (although probably difficult to implement in game)

Have music played on the battlefield, augment the abilites of the fighters, and have the light effects have influence in combat. (ex dazzle could cause dizziness, or blindness, etc.)

feel free to comment or not.

"Be able to create custom flourishes --be in ten notes you can arrange. (although probably difficult to implement in game)"

early in development I think Holo actually wanted it to work in a way similar to this. The reason given for the lack of fully customizable music is that people could start playing a riff from a copyrighted song...

In which case the user who had violated copyright should be at fault.

You don't see keyboards sold only able to produce predetermined riffs so you can't rip off copyrighted material, do you?

I suspect coding complexity made 'em shy away from it. If so, there's plenty of existing material out there, not hampered by copyright, which lets you take a given sample, say, a horn, flute, guitar string, whatever, and alter its pitch to change the note it plays.

Of course, it might have been the fact that most of us simply don't have what it takes to string notes together into something meaningful. Imagine a cantina full of random notes! Starwars1 would seem ... ok, starwars1 would still suck.

Heh, don't ask me man, it's not like I'm just making **edit** up.... Just passing along the info that was given a couple years back.

Well, and the current flourishestend to bedecently euphonic, even played on one another. Is that a pentatonic-blues-scale thing? I have no idea; music theory always eludes me when people explain it.

That said, and pretty convinced that it'd be impossible I'd freakin' love to be able to actually play melodies and such.

I think bringing the musicians onto the battlefield is kind of a cool idea. The main problem with us is that we really have no place on the battlefield as of yet. The best we can do is just hang out in the camp until someone needs healing...

Imagine, though, the amount of people who would make their own flourishes that wouldn't work with everyone elses flourishes. While it is a good idea, it just wouldn't work. Every song would only be a jumble of different notes.....not that it isn't now....
