Music in Lobby

(1/5) > >>

RomanKar:
I believe it is against terms of use of this game to "spam" music through your mic.  Now, I know it seems a bit hypocritical for me, renown player of Jazz would bring this up, but deal with it.  I don't believe I spam, and if I do, I will alter what I do, I do not think I spam.

Anyway.  There is a certain clan whose stated purpose is to spread music throughout Guns of Icarus.  I have almost all of them blocked.  Does anyone else find it weird that a clan has a stated goal that is in contradiction to the terms of use agreement?

 I think music in game/lobby is fine, as long as no one has a problem with it. It provides a fun atmosphere that allows people to express their creativity, which I am all for, given that our community already shows an interest in the artistic by playing a game so artistic itself. However, the moment someone starts becoming annoyed and asks the person to stop, they should. Everyone is entitled to a fun game environment, as long as it does not interfere in the fun of someone else. I have talked to a couple members of the MUS (the clan that you were talking about) before, and they are group of genuinely good people. They never play anything offensive, and they are more than willing to compromise. I dont think we should be too harsh on people who dont do anything to hurt the game.

In my opinion, playing music in the lobbies is fine, as long as no one is getting a headache from it. Or you stop playing when asked to. That also applies to people making obnoxious voices(I still don't get the "fapping noises", some people...), but let's not drift away from topic.
 
Because it's always funny when someone pops in a elevator music there, mocking the the lobbies. It's nice to hear an old 80s song, at least a fragment of it(playing songs from beginning to end is usually obnoxious.). My spirits are high up when someone plays Flight of the Valkyries. Hell, even I play some harmonica for poops and giggles of it(playing the blues is not really known for that, but oh well, you get my point.)

But "spreading music in lobbies" doesn't really seems, umm, pleasant. I can feel a lot of headache coming out of that statement. But if you ask them to stop, surely they will. Right? Riiiiight? Because a lot of people seem to be skipping this protocol, being block-happy... I've seen people say, I blocked you and reported. Even quite high level players. Without a single warning, a single word. That doesn't seem right to me as well.

So what I'm saying is(god I rambled a lot again), with mutual understanding and communication, annoying cases of music would decrease, hopefully. But if we go ahead and block them, without a warning and go "I blocked you, meh meh." like a little child, we can't make progress on that front :3

Spud Nick:
That is funny you have them all blocked. I have them added as friends so I can fallow them around.
 

sparklerfish:
I have almost all of them blocked too.  If I wanted to listen to music in the lobbies, I would put on music.  It's important for people to be able to communicate during that time while setting up for the match.  I don't want to be subjected to someone else's music involuntarily.  They don't ask before they just start continuously playing music, disrupting communication and generally being annoying.

Apparently they also play it in-game, which is probably worse.
