Audio Team AMA on Reddit - 6/28/17 @ 3pm EDT

ZOS_GinaBruno · June 2017

Hey everyone!

Tomorrow, June 28 from 3-4pm EDT, we'll be hosting an AMA on the ESO subreddit with our Audio Team. If you have questions about ESO's music, sound effects, VO, or anything relating to audio in our game, join us at https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline at 3pm EDT. We'll put up the official AMA thread beforehand so those who aren't able to join live can still get their questions in.

See you then!

Edit: Here's the official AUA thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/6k2gxj/welcome_to_the_eso_audio_team_aua/

Cool! Can we get an AMA with the marketing team soon? I think the community would love to engage those folks and get some answers!

Elsonso · June 2017

Cool. We can ask about the extra loud Bear Ultimate sound, and why they have to do a sound every time we go through a door, wayshrine, etc.

JamieAubrey · June 2017

Why does the thunder sound like Siege ?

@lordrichter I think that's all permament type stuff. My bound aegis makes it "turning on" sound every time I port and such too.

Maybe the bear is just a volume issue. lol

I think it is a bit extreme to play the "re-deploy" or "turn on" sound for the pets and stuff each time we change zones, use a wayshrine, etc. Even if they do have to perform the action to get things to work, it would be nice if they just did it, and did not have to play a sound every time.

But yes, the bear is definitely a volume issue, on top of everything else. I FEEL LIKE LOUD HOWARD IS STANDING NEXT TO ME!

It actually startles me, some times. Especially if it is late at night or early in the morning.

OutLaw_Nynx · June 2017

Ooooo I like this type of stuff!

RoyJade · June 2017

I think the bear/pet/armor problem is an issue with the "auto re-using" coding. The skill is re-used each time you port. The real fixe would be to properly keep the buff when porting, and this is not an audio team problem.

Aliyavana · June 2017

Can I ask here, any plans to add a jukebox feature where we can have our own choice of in-game songs in our homes? And any plans to expand combat music to more variety like previous elder scrolls games? The common drums gets annoying. I'd also like a smart combat music system where if you are decked out in legendary gear on a high cp char a common bandit won't interupt your ambient music in a fight that lasts less than 10 seconds

Mojmir · June 2017

Why does my female character make male sounds after a race change was used.
Submitted a bug report and posted on forums, you've failed to acknowledge both.

Darlgon · June 2017

Stupid question, in case I dont make it.

Why does every character have their own beat? With global controlling what the music is, you would think all the lutes, flutes and drums would play the same tune, on the same beat, so you could basically have a symphony. Instead you get something that sounds closer to twenty cats fighting in an empty alley surrounded by two story apartments..

The same sort of thing happens with disguises...change zones / wayshrine etc. = the disguise animation plays.

ArchMikem · June 2017

Someone ask them about turning off the combat music.

Betheny · June 2017

Can someone wind down the sneezing on my Dro-m'Athra senche cub pet? I think that thing has given me the Llodos plague.

runagate · June 2017

Super-awesome except that it's on Reddit. You have these here forums, you know?

You've been around long enough to know the answer to this.

This forum and the way it works doesn't lend itself well to an AMA setup, Reddit however does and it only takes one or two minutes to create a free Reddit account.

@ArchMikem As in you would like to have an option to turn off combat music so it doesn't play?

@MissBizz Precisely.

It would help tremendously with making sure the rest of the soundtrack isnt interrupted so frequently.

@aliyavana I asked for you

We are discussing several audio/music based features we'd like to introduce for housing. I don't wanna go into specifics, but we want people to get what they want, and what you're describing is one of those things. It's all a question of priorities and time for the studio.
