is apocrypha supposed to have deadlands music?

CoronHR · June 2023

it's very jarring. i feel like i'm in the deadlands. kind of disappointing

Painik · June 2023

Yeah this kinda disappointed me, too.

Hello! Could you two clarify if there is actually Deadlands music playing in Apocrypha (which would be a bug), or if this is feedback about the music sounding too similar to the Deadlands music?

it sounds a lot like deadlands music, the music that plays in the overland in the deadlands. i thought it was identical. i can check tomorrow and compare more closely, but i'm almost positive that the music is identical. is apocrypha supposed to have its own soundtrack?

Aliyavana · June 2023

theres a deadlands music track that goes DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN at the beginning. it feels a bit weird to have that playing in Apocrypha, even if its in oblivion. I associated it to much with the deadlands cause of how noisy it is. does apocrypha supposed to have a unique soundtrack? the deadlands music screams destruction, but apocrypha i associate with libraries, mysteries, and fate so its feels out of place

CoronHR · June 2023

It's more than just the intro though. The whole soundtrack is the same. I'm almost 100% certain. I remember riding around thinking 'ugh, this is the deadlands music, exactly the deadlands.' Same violin sounds and everything.

It's the following music tracks in Apocrypha:

Deadlands Suite from the Blackwood Chapter OST which can be heard in the Endless Library region:

An unreleased Deadlands Delve ambient which can be heard in the western Chroma Incognito region:

thank you! yes it's exactly that. fingers crossed that this music was misplaced and we have different music coming. because i really enjoy exploring apocrypha, but not while listening to music that makes me think i'm in the deadlands

CoronHR · June 2023

i was also curious about greymoor caverns music, as i was thinking 'maybe this is their standard underground music?' but greymoor caverns has its own unique music. so i'm pretty sure apocrypha's experiencing a bug.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom could we get some confirmation on that please?

hashii · June 2023

I noticed this as well. I went into Apocrypha for the first time, and it felt too familiar due to the Deadlands music. I hope this is a bug, because I would love to see new music in this new zone.

MafiaCat115 · June 2023

I thought I recognized Deadlands music in Apocrypyha. I was hoping that it was not intentional since I've enough Dagon stuff to last me until the ES 6 (eventually, hopefully) comes out.

CoronHR · June 2023

i'm so ready for them to fix this. i love the zone but the music feels so out of place

Necrotech_Master · June 2023

i instantly noticed the deadlands overlands music when i first went to apocrypha too

DorisOThDead · June 2023

Yes I've also noticed this. The dramatic DUN DUN DUN DUN when I loaded into Apocrypha made me think I'd clicked the wrong wayshrine somehow!

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · June 2023

Hi all! We've investigated this and confirmed what you're reporting. We've got a bug in for it. Thank you!

Sounds good. Although... I'd prefer you get a developer in for it, but hey, whatever...

Quethrosar · June 2023

Place is deadlands basically

kind_hero · June 2023

I hope the music will change. I really don't feel like playing that zone when I hear the Deadlands music. I tend to turn it off and listen something else. (I really like the music from TES games, but this is the track I like the least)

CoronHR · June 2023

yeah i'm kind of avoiding the zone myself for now. i'd really like to explore it, but music makes such a difference and i imagine whatever zos has planned for the zone will probably be good, so i'm holding off until a fix is in place

Elsonso · June 2023

Not just the music... did they steal the footsteps in water sounds from Clockwork City, or is that unintentional, too?

im guessing they did this because the "water" in apocrypha seems more "gloopy" than well, water lol

its not quite as dark as the full on "oil" water in clockwork city, but i think the water sounds seemed appropriate to me

Can we have an official soundtrack release too? Every movie and game has a soundtrack release in the same week as release.

It is quite weird ESO is usually 2 months after the fact whenever everyone already completed everything.

The music is obviously done and in the meantime you can make some extra money from streams too instead of the unofficial YT-rips

that i liked, but now that you mention it, they are the same sounds. but i can see how they would be. the water's goopy like oil!

Aka_ · June 2023

I'm looking forward to hearing what the music for Apocrypha is supposed to actually sound like!

Shagreth · June 2023

Music was utterly bad, I was expecting something that matches the place, and instead we get something that sounds 90% like the deadlands one.

it's not 90% ... it's 100%. the music is the deadlands soundtrack. but they said it's a bug, so hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch

I knew something was off, lol. Good to know, hopefully they will fix it soon.

Ashryn · June 2023

I was glad to hear this is a bug because I feel that new music in every new zone sets the mood and its usually a highlight to me. I was very disappointed that loading into these zones did not have the usual unique take on the theme music of the Elder scrolls line.

Rishikesa108 · June 2023

The new music box has a Deadland's sound, not an Apocrypha's one. It is in the crown store right now, and it has a typical Apocrypha appearance, but the sound (not a music, but a sound) is typical of a demonic environment like the Deadlands.
In my humble opinion...
