I know that Bear Mcreary has been hired for the music of the game. Maybe its a little early to ask this but what kind of music is ashes going for? Like will there soft beautiful music playing as i'm exploring, a seperate theme for combat, seperate theme for a new biome and a new theme for different nodes. I'm assuming all races get their own theme and that theme will be played while in a node.
I forgot which livestream it was but in one of the ones this year there was a gameplay stream and steven's character was standing still in the game in a forest as they were setting things up for the stream. There was some soft background music playing at the time that i really enjoyed and would love to hear again as i explore a forest like area

...and as I do in every game, turn it to 0 and listen to my own music. Because I am a bad person ;(
Mostly because when you play an MMO for hours on end daily the same music get boring and repetitive. I will listen to it for the first few months I am sure.
That has been one of my favorate theme songs for years (along with Baba Yetu).
The show was quite good too.
I may look in to getting a new amp and dac...
Edit: I will officially be disappointed if we don't have herdy gerdy based music while on ships.
Ingame music = first month or so
Grinding = my own music
I always have in game music on for the first few weeks of a game, and when I'm just messing around by myself.
My problem is that I usually turn music off in any MMO I play when I'm at the point of raiding 3+ nights a week, and just leave it off.
I'd like options to set the music and sound levels based on my current grouping situation. If I'm in a large group, turn down music but leave everything else the same, if I'm in a raid, turn off everything other than the encounters own sounds, and if I'm in a small group (>4), leave the games music up high.
Combine this with the same mechanic for particle effects and I'll be super happy.
I'm with @Rumbleforge on this. I never play games with anything but game music on and I'd also say that Black Sails is one of(if not the) the most underrated tv shows of all time. We've already been subjected to some great music from Ashes

I agree that with Bear at the helm that there'll be fabulous diversity in the game. Anything Black Sails-esque for the experience at sea would be great!
