Battle Music ON / OFF <[ YES , PLEASE! ]> <[ Where? ]> <[ When? ]>

[manta89]

Since this thread was resurrected, figured I'd just update this to say that I am, indeed, still frustrated with it. I want to hear the lovely, quiet, relaxing zone music. I don't want it interrupted constantly. I still don't keep my in-game music on because of this. I turn it on just long enough to hear what's there, then turn it back off. Please let me turn off the generic battle music in each zone.

Edit: Sometimes, I even go to YouTube and look up the zone themes for the zone/time of day that I'm in just so I can hear the zone music while I quest or do hunts or whatever I'm doing. It's hard to get absorbed in the quiet atmosphere of a night time blizzard in Coerthas Western Highlands when the wind and the soft piano gets overridden by the same driving battle theme over and over and over again. Don't take it away from everyone of course, some people like it. But a toggle, like with the chocobo music, would be fantastic.

Still waiting ^^ Maybe in the expansion we can finally get this

Do want D:

Yeah, this'd be nice and should be pretty easy to implement.

Fate music really need a fix, when riding a mount sometimes the mount's music takes over the fate music, sometimes it doesn't. Dunno why, and it's not a question of fate importance 'cause it happens will small fates too.

When I'm doing gathering, seriously I do not want any of that battle music nor the FATE music. They are irritating. They destroy that peaceful, serene, almost sacred gathering trance.

I can't describe how much this drives me up the wall. FATE music should only play under two circumstances: When I'm on a DoW/DoM job at the appropriate level, and when I'm sync'd to the FATE.

Yes, this. Please.
I love some of the music in the different zones (nighttime in the Forelands is one of my favorite <3), and I get annoyed when it's interrupted by the dumb FATE music while I'm peacefully gathering.
Plus, after farming so many damn FATEs, I'm so sick of that music. I just hate hearing it anymore, even when I'm actively doing FATEs.

This was a great thread to bring back. It's not a matter of liking or not liking the combat music. It's about having to hear it so often, no matter what you're doing, and how it interrupts the rest of the music in the game. I really appreciate that it stopped playing constantly in dungeons, but we need the option to turn it off completely, even in the overworld, when we're done with it. Some of the best music tracks in Heavensward are the zone themes, and I so rarely get to enjoy them without the frequent, obnoxious intrusion of combat music.

Please, please, please please.

The battle music. The FATE music. I hate both so effin' much.

Can it really take them two freaking years to figure out how to toggle?? @_@

So.. multiple expansion releases and we still can't disable that annoying battle music which starts every time we ride past an aggressive mob?

Well, guess the hard work of the music team goes to waste yet again. So far I've heard a lot of lovely zone music, but I will disable it because of the monotony of battle and FATE music.

It's a shame. System designers deserve a kick in the rear from the music team on this one.
