Half Assed Multitasking

So, since they dropped the feywild like a seagull turd on an unsuspecting population, I’ve been wondering why they went with such a terribly cliched faux-classical soundtrack that sounded like it was done by a sixth grader using Garage Band soft synths.  They gave credit to their “in-house (com)poser” named Bill Champaigne.

Guess what else Bill Champaigne does for SSG?

He’s also their Lead QA tester!  So not only is he a shitty composer, he apparently deserves a good chunk of the blame for bugs released in updates.   https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-champagne-71938890/

Jesus Christ.......I'd be fucking ashamed if I was the QA tester for SSG.

I'd rather tell people I was Jeffrey Dahmer's dietician.

I think he's an amazingly competent QAer... how ELSE can you explain Arachnophobia breaking coffins when you are 30+ paces away, empty handed, and completely naked while fighting spiders?

Huh?

HUH?

Didn't think so.. so STFU!

That explains a lot. He's probably exactly as qualified as a QA tester as he is a composer.

I had not noticed, but then DDO's sound is so fucked up its tough to tell. In order to have a hope in hell of hearing voice chat(hearing, not using) I have to have everything else set to 0.01%. I can hear voice chat maybe %70 of the time.

YUUUUP.

Striking a balance wherein I can sometimes hear other people but not blow up my speakers is damn near impossible.

What I can't figure out is why(outside of DDO) there does not exist some sort of fucking decible limiter. Like either a program or a hardware device or SOMETHING that will just say "Sounds over x dbs will not be rendered". Then you can turn everything else up.

Fuckin a.

First thing I do with a ddo install is turn off all sounds other than voice chat.  For new content I do turn on the dm voice though.

Have you given it a decent try? A Fable of Valor has some pretty great brass parts, A Fable of Pixies has some decent pizz parts, and of course A Fable of Fomorians satisfies the percussion junky in me. Dance of the Satyrs has really grown on me after standing by the group playing next to the raid entrance for so long. Hawthorne isn’t my favorite voicing, but Hyrsams got a nice baritone. Let me know what you think after you give it a shot!

Nope. Outrage and annoyance fuel me, I'm quite content to be an asshole with nobody watching as well.

It's all about the craft baby, the craft.

This was actually a pretty sweet use of passive-aggressive sarcasm as a parry. Nice one.

You're still a cunt.

You're incapable of comprehending basic ideas. You should stay away from advanced thinking like girls stay away from you.

He's got a music education background and just gave about as qualified an explanation to why he likes the music as you're going to receive here. The fact that you completely misunderstood and instead projected your little dick cuntiness is all that we've come to expect from a loser like you.

And that Ladies and Gents is how you know just how badly you have broken someone. Granted, with someone like Ginga it isn't very hard, but the whining and sob-choked panick posts are still amusing and satisfying. Tell me more about how you used to be a big deal Ginger, lol.

Maybe I have the music/in game volme set low enough.  I enjoy pretty much all of the music in DDO. Maybe, as I said, because I have it low enough not to be obnoxious and overbearing.  It is loud enough that I notice when the game hitches and resets during the lag hiccups. I find that those events really piss off my CDO.
  

If you can roll it you can smoke it. If you can carve it you can smoke with it.

LMAO! Oh did I hurt your little feelings again Ginger?

Here's a tip, if you don't like getting your ass kicked? stop bending over and practically asking for it to be kicked with all those weak-ass posts and empty comebacks you struggle to come up with. See if you just learn to shut up and keep out of your better's way like a good little has-been, and potty-trained never-was I won't have to keep spanking your weak ass in front of everyone.

Or you could keep on trying to become relevant again by hanging off my balls and failing like you have the last 6 months... either way works for me.
