Orchestrion Fail or Bugged??

[ladyJ]

We crafted the Orchestrion added it to the fc house. I went out and bought a whole bunch of scrols with gil , mgp, the law tomes and added them to the jukebox so that members could use it and listen to the music at their leisure. I se it so all members in the FC have permissions to use it, but after adding 12 new songs to the orchestrion it seems the only one who can see and use the songs i added is me!!!! no one else in the FC can use or even see the songs i added. I don't care for the songs or even listening to it, but wanted it so that the FC members would be able to utilitze it without having to go through their expense... SO... Se please fix this, otherwise its a waste of gil, time, mgp, especially for me when i personally would never use this for myself and now no one can benefit from my now wasted constribution.

Firstly, songs are individually held to you, so songs you possess may not be possesed by someone else - they're not held by the orchestrion itself but rather are more like mounts and minions that are held by you personally. Additionally you need to set member ranks for your FC so that everyone can actually use it, it's done in the same way like allowing access to the Company Chest.

The music is a personal collection, but most (maybe all?) the music I've come across so far seems tradable and sellable. Which means you can still help your FC members enjoy the feature, but it will be one person at a time.

I feel ya... It would be nice if you could put songs into the jukebox, (What you do in real life) and have a list of songs in there, and people can contribute to the jukebox's song collection. I get the whole personal song collection thing, but really its not a Orchestrion jukebox. I guess we should call it a music playing machine, and everyone else has a pocket full of CD's that only they can play!! It's a start SE cause I love hearing music in my house... But its no jukebox!!

So i guess once you get the music sheet it works at any orchestrion?

That's.... Absolutely retarded.

This isn't even close to being the "Jukebox" that had been requested for three eternities and an Age. If that's the case, I'm telling my FC to not even waste the gil.

It's not often I'm out right damning of The Development Decisions but this completely defeats the purpose of it being a housing item.

Exactly. This is nowhere close to what was requested by the community. I crafted a few of these for a FC mate because they couldn't, used them, told them to use the "jukebox" to hear and pick the house song. They were just "there's nothing there".

Why is house furnishing, that can be used by multiple people, so limited? Other multiple use furnishings are not. This is a major oversight that needs to be fixed.

The feature might not be what you expected, but it's solid. If every jukebox had its own personal collection of music it would be just that much more information to store, making it that much more impractical and unlikely to be included in the game. One player might have several jukeboxes and the game would have to remember each separate box's collection and then you'd get a new crowd complaining about being forced to obtain multiple copies of the music for all their varies jukeboxes.

This system also gives us something new to collect, which is a big part of an MMO for a lot of people (myself included) and it helps stimulate the crafting side of the game as well and give some older content new life.

Once you personally own the music, you can play it in the house for everyone to hear and the music rolls are something you can trade so it's something you can gift to your FC members. There are plenty of ways for multiple people to enjoy this feature.

I'm happy how this feature has turned out.

Which could have been avoided completely if the entire music collection was available from the beginning, which I'm pretty sure is what was requested to begin with. No data to be stored then. There was absolutely no need to make it a collect-a-thon. But hey, apparently the "server limitations" that impede us having more inventory or armoury chest space don't apply to storing more data unnecessarily for features like these.

It's a collect-a-thon because they're giving us new reasons to go into old content. The game has always been like that and always will. I would much rather hunt down music for my jukebox than just have it given to me. That's boring.
