Wow music used to be better

and by music I strongly mean the ones that we have to endure listening repetitively, like dungeon music, capital cities, leveling zones and so on.

I can’t remember a single song that makes me feel good ever since warlords of draenor!

my favorite expansion legion was quite meh in music, I hated bfa music and just having to remember it during plunderstorm gives me headache literally. Shadowlands had the feeling of being a game that isn’t wow, which includes the music.
and then comes dragonflight, which for instance valdrakken music was cool for the first 15 minutes… by now I already hate it.

I like shrine of storms, its very old goddish… but i don’t think it can redeem the torture i endured in boralus and zandalar

Music hasn’t been great to me since Russell Brower was let go. Now it’s just all digitally created stuff or revamped old stuff.

Also PSA, you can use the soundtrack addon to change the music of specific locations and events. So for instance i changed valdraken music to winter grasp and storm peaks music. And I changed dragon races to Danger Zone and The Distance.

This modern day music isn’t what it used to be. Back in my day you had the Orgrimmar city music and now you got this new fangled ‘Valdrakken city’ music, if you can even call it that. Thank goodness we got MoP Remix, show you new age jammers what a real ‘banger’ sounds like.

I wouldn’t know. I’ve played with game sounds off since WoD.

:dracthyr_shrug:

Blizzard generally has great music. I just listen to what I like.

I remember falling asleep to the original soundtrack when I was a kid.

I like a lot of the newer stuff, and a lot of the older stuff. My absolute favorite bit is Malach from the warlords of Draenor. It plays in the auchindoun dungeon before you fight the last boss.

Shadowlands had a few things that stuck out to me as well. “To be Kyrian” is a good song and I also like the opening piece that we hear in the cinematic. I like how intense it is lol. De other side had some rather memorable music in it too.

Bfa had a song called conquered shores that I really like but I’m not sure where in the game it plays. That song that Jaina sang was cool too.

I dunno I like the music. Dragonflight has good music that often catches my ears too. Ruby life pools, the azure vault / span and even in valdrakken.

To each their own! :blush:

Legion had a great soundtrack. I loved being in High Mountain and Suramar because of their music. Listen to the Suramar theme and tell me that doesn’t trigger nostalgia.

Most WoW music is ambient and it’s kind of hit or miss on whether it provides a decent backdrop.

Out of the games I’m currently playing, only FF14 and Destiny actually use music as a way to bolster what is actually going on in a scene.

i’m definetelly going to use that

anduin music only happens in his cinematic… if we can use cinematic music, I would take tbc expansion music and arthas my song and invincible.

i was there, i would say its unique… better than night elf music at least

You may have to use mp3 gain to normalize dB across the tracks you import. I think I had to boost every track to 100 dB to get it normalized to in game music.

After the first week of any xpack I just switch to Spotify or back in the day before music streaming my CDS

I keep forgetting WoW has music, because it’s distracting and I turn it off, specially in PvP.
I need to hear audio cues from enemies.

The last one that actually got my attention was BFA
