Combat music feedback

SkaiFaith · September 21

ESO has some good music but combat music, while portraying tension even too well, feels nowhere near the epicness one would expect - as soon as "turn combat music off" was an option I immediately used it.

I'll leave here, as my feedback, something I think is an excellent example towards whom ESO should lean more into for combat music: great build-up, climatic, hopeful, inspirational and epic.

I would LOVE to battle with music like this. Until then, it remains off...

Also, I wouldn't want this music just in one fight on the final boss of a DLC Trial/Dungeon - personally I would update all game's combat music to this.

That is very nice but it feels more like a movie soundtrack than a battle to me.

Maybe they could give players a few different combat music options to choose from.

Guild Wars 2 had a cool (and surprisingly little known) feature where you could drop MP3s in a folder and edit a .txt file, they'd be played in the game. You could even classify them, battle music, in town, adventuring, dialogue, etc....

I think more games should adopt this.

That game never stops amazing me with the cool stuff you can do with it.

Agree and it is awesome! But I'm not sure how consoles could ever do that...

Turn it off in settings.

I really like the music in this game but I've turned Combat music off as it's too haphazard.

I have an extensive playlist called Epic Gaming which I run when doing combat heavy sessions that sets me in that fighting mood.
