BRD Customization!

Hokay! So Gath has yet another brilliant idea. It does not matter if Gath had help with acquiring these ideas because Gath just blessed the ideas with mention. What Gath has conjured is the customization of BRD songs whilst you play them. Gath will go with an example.

Ex;
So, you have a BRD who is sick of the crappy tunes and wants to be something other than Linkin Park who sounds the same in most of their albums. So, this BRD, which isn't Gath because if the BRD was Gath then it would make the instrument explode. So, he wants to play Master of Puppets with his Barp so he goes into a special game file that has a folder reserved for different songs, you just replace the current with the new and can change it out with a new one at any time or put multiples in and play a different song with each different buff, or even randomize the song the buff plays.

So the BRD starts to cast TP regen, so, in return, the Barp decides to play I Believe in a thing called Love by The Darkness. It plays the first bit of the song unless the BRD wants to channel it just to annoy the hell out of people.

Well, so the song cannot be played for everybody to hear outside of the party that the BRD is apart of (or lacking thereof) The only people who can hear are party/raid members.

If you want to add to this Gath would gladly take good conscious thought towards this thread.

Gath's 1 gil is worth more than your 1 gil.

Some maths:

Servers: 18
A song with decent quality: 44kbps
full party members: BRD+7
Bards per server (unknow, hypothetical case: server 4000 players (if game work after 2.0) then around 200-300 BRD, ~250)

So if 250 BRD play at same time a custom music to their full pt:


18*250*7*44kbps: 1386 mbps

This is of course the worst scenario, anyway: No thanks.

-----------------------------------------

And i am not counting i can record a pornographic audio and play it in the game...

So, this is totally imposible.

Because no other online game allowed you to put in your own custom music... erm wait..

Oh yeah they did...
I like the idea Gath

The cat is bemused =-.-=

It would be cool if there was an instrument like the ocarina from Ocarina of Time where you could control the pitch and octaves. Then a slew of bards could get together and jam.

That /music mode from LOTR is pretty neat, but it's probably too difficult to implement that as you're fighting something like Ifrit. It would be cool outside of battle maybe though.

With the dwindling music industry. Labels, and performance rights organizations would demand too much in royalties for music. It would suck for patches to be put on hold or servers are temporarily shutdown, because contracts and blanket licenses need to be renegotiated with labels and performance rights organizations.

We should get a harp tool on the lodestone for composing harp songs, then add the sound file to our harp skills.

I think outside of battle mode it would be cool to play music akin to Zelda:OoT. Enter music mode and use the keyboard keys or controller buttons to activate notes to create custom music you can save and play for party.

It would be awesome if they did something like the LoTR:O /music system. Not only could you play "live" and have other aroudn you hear it, but you coudl also write your own songs outside the game or create your own .ABC files and auto play them in game.

Something like this woudl be more likely to be implemted in game over say something like Gath suggested where it would steam what ever MP3 you had tied to your song for your party.

are you sure you want to speak out loud: hey i am trying to do something against copyright law

even this is something they cant check but it still against copyright law, no ? if SE say yes then it is another story

edit: if there is any where SE say you can and I miss out, please give me link so I cna read about it as well

FAIL.

lotro have a predefined notes that every one have in their computer, then only sending a score every one can play it. MP3 custom music is a different issue, u will need streaming for last one.


Anyway, i dont like this idea coz is ok to have a list of predefined music by SE but i dont like to listen "La cucaracha" and my attack grown up...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PBptSDIh8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLDez1oMFCw
Every anime opening here
Every annoy music here
random notes anoyying everyone.



Freedom is not always best choice. I am agree to a long music list provided by SE and we to choose from them what we like. But to listen Naruto opening or The Simpsons theme in game... feels so stupid.

So, OP, can I have a bard that plays "dueling banjo's" on the barp, wears overalls and bare feet.

In that case my bard may think Raistlin's character wears that mask to hide his "purdy mouth"

Perhaps you think it's copyright infringement because you know nothing about it. It only infringes if you don't give credit to the author. If in game in the log it says "Gath begins to play One ft. Metallica on his Barp!" then it is giving credit to the author, therefore, it's not against copyright laws. The origin of the song, if it is downloaded via torrent of bought is between the user and the artist.

After consideration of the already current and future system, a /music mode would be better, but would also be cool if there were channeled spells that did different things.

My 1 copyright is worth more than your 1 copyright.

You know what I'd like from Bard?

Having a set of songs, the basics and the complex.
Say, this Basic song gives you Accuracy +4, and the Complex one gives you Attack Power+23
After some algorithms I don't want to mess around with, you can mix the Basic and the Complex, making an Advanced song, using techniques and sounds of both to make a harmony of sounds, generating another song. This will result into Accuracy +3 and Attack Power +17.

Caught what I said? Now that would be awesome =)

Now that would be an interesting way to do the songs... and could sound very cool depending on the songs.

Maybe should just do FFXIV + guitar hero add-on and together with them do the minigame while brd is playing.
Otherwise what is brd going to do while playing music. harder song and higher score give better stat boost.
For attack song, every base hit enemy get dmg... well I never played guitar hero so I donno how it works...
WS is like remix song. you follow the preset heavy base node and dmg enemies
The song effect is just for brd itself, for other people it's just regular brd casting song animation with standard music.
[I think for super Gath's custom song should do the same thing. It's hard to please everyone with your favor music.]

Like:
Ifrit Battle, WAR, 2WHM, 4DRG, BRD

BRD is playing a song...
Ifrit begins to cast Eruption.
Ifrit's Eruption is been deflected from BRD and hits itself for 1400 damage.
BRD: "Suck it down!"

this would have so many copy right issues

There was no issue with bell commands in FFXI lol.

http://youtu.be/VLtQ2KOL6N8

Maybe for MP3s, but with notes, I think it would be ok.

i may have mis-understood, i thought OP wanted to be able to play songs off his playlist to others in the party, when he used bow/harp, that would against copyright rules if SE didn't pay a royalty

Yeah :D I was talking about using notes to make your own tunes, I think that would be fine.

yep i think that would be fine, although could be very annoying if you get an un-musical bard in your party

Maybe make a minigame from playing songs. Have 2 modes, one being auto and the other one manual ( like hasty hand and standard synthesis in crafting)
Manual version makes you input a few commands (music notes) while you are casting , correct input and timing makes the song stronger.
If the input is wrong or there is no input at all (hasty hand), the song is normal strength


Extending Renshi's idea: have 3 sets of commands in different colours which appear on the screen.
Theres a red , green and blue sets of commands. Red would be the melody and green/blue the harmony. You can go for red for +1 , red/green or red/blue for +2, red/green/blue for +3. Or just ignore them completely for NQ

Edit: Maybe even doublecast songs...? Just spewing ideas.
