Combat music

  • Does anyone feel like any time we encounter an NPC ship and we fire on it some kind of battle theme should start?
    -It can fade away after a few minutes after one of the ship sinks or if we distance ourselves kinda like a fort, we can also turn the tune down in our menu for those who wouldn't like this idea.

    My opinion battles are more exciting this way than just the sounds of shots and canons going off

  • @eva1977 Maybe it's just the grog talking but I've always heard music play when ship battles start, both random encounters and ships that specifically spawn on our ship.

    Have I just been hearing what I want to hear??

  • Skeleton Ships have nice little battle theme that plays when you engage them.

  • Grog possibly? I only hear them with skellie ships or forts and when a cannon hits there's a small chime but not an actual song worthy of an intense battle.

    I believe the combat music is attenuated so that you can actually hear your crew and what's going on.

    I found that when I play the game with my music turned up too loud I miss a lot of important stuff so have learned to play with my own music down a bit.

    There is a little combat diddy playing in the background, and it's not likely the sort of epic battle music you're looking for.

    In order to have that, I think it would be kinda cool if we could add our own custom tracks to the game, but I doubt Rare wants us mucking about in the game files.

    Years ago I would have done this, but now days I just put on Winamp and pick some tracks I like and that's the end of it.

  • @swimplatypus7 Well thats why i suggest to have the option to turn down the volume for that specific music while sounds can be the same or other music can still be the same but this would be combat music personally i would love to have when encountering PVP ships

    Did you really mean NPC ship? Or other PLAYER ship?

  • @surveyorpete my bad XD I meant a player ship not an NPC as those are the skellie ships...

  • @eva1977 Yeah, I was a bit confused by what you were saying. Lol.

    Ah this makes more sense! I guess you could have the Pirates of the Caribbean soundtrack queued on Spotify, then fire it up with the first cannon shot! DIY atmosphere!
