Preview of the Updated Soundtrack in Path of Exile: Synthesis

Lioneye's Watch theme is iconic, and for a lot of people is associated with Path of Exile itself, de facto being POE's main theme song.
Replacing it with something that, not matter how polished and professional, sounds pretty generic is not the right thing to do.
Solaris Temple and Grand Arena tracks are some of the best music pieces in video game's history. Replacing or even remixing them with anything at all would be a downgrade.

Again I'm not against the new soundtrack per se, I just want us to have the option to have classic soundtrack in the game. A lot of games did that in the past - a simple tickbox in the sound options menu.
KOF13 did that. Resident Evil Remake did that.
Surely POE can do that too.

Dang it, lost Nessa now Lioneye's Watch? The video wasn't long enough for the whole song so maybe it's still good but I'm going to be annoyed if it's not

Nice Kamil

I agree that the Lioneye's Watch theme should not be replaced, given how iconic it is. A gentle remix is fine, especially if you place it in Act 6 to contrast with the original one in Act 1.

This game has amazing music, but I'll be honest: 95% of my playtime is spent with it off.

The reason is simple. I don't want to listen to the same track ad nauseam in my hideout, and I can't be bothered to disable and re-enable the music every time I exit and enter a map. I've been begging for an option to disable hideout music--not even to customize it, merely disable it--for years now.

I doubt I am alone. Having the same track play forever and ever in your hideout has probably also encouraged people to start playing the game with their own background music from outside the game.

It seems like a colossal waste of your composers' considerable talents to me.

Do Not Change Music!!!!! This NEW ALLADIN music is sh///t. ty.

Very mixed feelings.

I think those tunes are great in and of themselves, but with the new Grand Arena theme .... didn't quite feel it in this snippet. The shiver down my back like with the old track (still have that to this day when listening to it) wasn't there.

The merveil cavern music is something i'm worried might be too... melodic. Before it was eerie sounds and noises, barely resembling music. That made it quite creepy and uninviting - basically the vibes i wanna get in such a place. Not everything needs to be all EPIC!

The background music until now was for the biggest part a perfect balance between atmosphesric tunes and ambient noises. Nothing too distracting or predominant. I hope it'll still feel like that.


Let's wait and see how this turns out.

GGG all we want is numbers, stats on skill gems, patch notes etc etc so we can start makng builts in path of building.

The rest is just waste of time.

Yes yes patch notes 1-2 days before next league zzzzzZZZzzzzz

Beautiful

Daresso's dream is perfection.
