Survey - Music
|
Some of the Tracks I like the most are the song that play during Izaro's fight and the act 4 OST in general are very well done.
My personal favorite of the entire game is Acton's Nightmare, I just love how this song put you in a uneasy ambiance. I wish There would be more music like this one in the game, it remind me of the very first Diablo, every song was very interesting in it's own way and helped to create the perfect atmosphere. The songs I like the less, I think act 1 need love. When you start playing a video game the first song you hear should be good enough stick in your head. I never had this feeling when I was on the beach while playing POE. Legend of Zelda had it's amazing theme everyone know, Mario had level 1-1 theme, Castlevania had Vampire Killer and Diablo had this very fitting acoustic guitar theme that is playing in the town when you go fetch your first few quests. I think we need a music like that in Path of exile, a theme that will mark the first few steps of our adventure and that will make people excited for more, craving for more gore and monster hunting. We need a song that stick into our head so deeply that just hearing to the first 3 notes we will directly think about Path of Exile. Also, I think some of the interior dungeon theme in general could use some love too. Acton's Nightmare theme is very well done for it's map and put you into the mood. I think we would need an appropriate and well fitting theme for each type of dungeon we're facing. Something that use scary sound in it, that feel claustophobic. Diablo 1 had a very good ambiantic soundtrack for this. |

" In general I'd say musics in Acts 1 and 2 feel vastly inferior to the ones we have in Acts 4 and (to a lesser extent) 3. But to me the most iconic piece of PoE's soundtrack is Lioneye's Watch. It never gets old and is a perfect welcome when you begin your journey. |

" you're right on this, music that was added with act 4 was very good and music that was added beyond that point to the game was mostly very nice. Most of the older soundtrack do not sound as good and maybe should be reworked a bit. |

Unfortunately, at this point, it's very hard to revamp old music because you always lose something in the process, and the nostalgia factor in PoE is very important to keep players into the game.

" I think some music should be kept around but some other could be changed or remixed idk there's place for all sort of improvement |

Top 5 Favorites (in no particular order):
• Church Dungeon (The Crypt) • The Dried Lake • Izaro's Labyrinth Exterior • Old Fields • Warehouses Honorable Mentions (in no particular order): • Path of Exile (Main Theme) • Lioneye's Watch* • The Forest • Forest Encampment / Vaal Ruins (from 4:58 in) * Will we ever get the remixed version played during some of the micro-transaction previews? Unless I missed it, I don't think it's included in the soundtracks? Also, I have the Fall of Oriath soundtrack, but I haven't listened to it yet as I'd rather wait to listen once the expansion is out of Beta (to get the full experience). EDIT: Somehow forgot the Church Dungeon theme. Last edited by Sedrethi#5288 on Jun 21, 2017, 7:37:38 PM

My list so far:
1. Act 6 Lioneye's Watch 2. Solaris Temple 3. Twiglight Strand 4. Acton's Nightmare 5. Original Act 1 Lioneye's Watch (the one form 2012, not the one you hear now) Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way.

Man, is Overseer's Tower theme good.
Twilight Strand has always been amazing. Every time I go away from PoE for a break and come back fresh, I'm awed at just how awesome it is. Overseer's Tower is really growing on me, though! |
