High Isle music in Merryvine Retreat

I've watched several youtube videos showcasing the Merryvine Retreat house on the pts and I wasn't entirely sure if the music in the background was edited or some other track was still playing so now I checked it out by myself and as it turns out the music of High Isle is being played inside the Merryvine Retreat house. Which is a bummer to be honest and I don't understand why the music of West Weald wasn't used. I mean, I'm just one person, others might like it but what are my options here besides complaining? Turn off the music every time I visit this house or use music boxes. I'm already using music boxes in my main house and I have to say they become repetitive over time so a variety of them would be necessary. I've counted 46 music boxes on this list , 3 of them you can earn in game and 5 of them are available in the crown store with 1 of them being different every now and then. That's not much from what is available even if you don't consider whether you like the melody or not. So your old fashioned business model of "fear of missing out" makes it quite difficult to solve this problem.

It would be nice if you implemented a tool which lets us select our own desired music, give us the option to buy more music boxes, add a bard as a house guest with up gradable songs or let the music of West Weald play inside Merryvine Retreat.

    new music didn't get added to pts until i believe the first week so it makes sense the videos didn't have it.
    but it is odd that Merryvine still doesn't have new music.

    this sounds like a bug

    Hi all, if someone could provide a video with Merryvine Retreat playing High Isle music, that would be great. Things look fine on our side, so we're trying to pinpoint if this a current issue or just something that impacted PTS and has since been addressed.

    This video showcases my third recording.

    It's my third recording because at first I started in West Weald and walked right up to the house and entered it from there while the West Weald music was playing and it carried over without that iconic intro when you visit a house (starts at 13 seconds). On my second try I teleported right into the house while my character was currently in a different zone. The result was the same as in my third recording, which you can see in the video. I did a third try because I thought maybe it would make a difference if you teleport into the house or use the main entrance, but it seems like that's not the case.

    It didn't came to my mind that this might be a bug, so I wanted to apologize for being a bit harsh in my original post.

    @ZOS_Kevin Hello Kevin, I just wanted to ask you if this topic is indeed related to a bug and you guys are working on fixing it or not. The reason why I'm asking is because I'm considering buying the house during the zenithar event and right now I'm spending my time doing 28 quest for the requirement. However, if the high isle music is intentional, then I won't be buying it and I can stop doing these quests.

    Can confirm. It's also not noted in the patch notes.

    The bell sound. Can this be removed? It goes non stop.
    Of course I like steak. I'm a Nord, aren't I?

    The inn house inside Skingrad also has the same problem.

    Came here because I just visited my Merryvine Retreat on July 3rd and heard the High Isle music and was confused. Are they (hopefully) still working on this?

    haven't looked on PC yet, but Kevin said it would get fixed in June 17's incremental patch so if you're on console it'll happen soon.

    and if it hasn't been fixed yet on PC then i guess it would be another patch after
