I wanted to carry forward a semi-related discussion from last night.  But first, coffee....
 
 
We had a lot of fun last night talking about music and Wildstar, and I figured I'd merge the two together.  Jeff Kurtenacker's provided probably the best soundtrack to an MMORPG ever, but there are stations like Quantum State Radio that are pumping out music to complement your Wildstar experience.
 
And I got to thinking, what kind of music gets you in the mood to play your characters?
 
We talked about the dark and brooding being the hallmark of the Mordesh, but Houngan Seeger is a different kind of Mordesh.  The scary voodoo shaman's all about the groove and Caribbean flair.  His best kind of music is Busta Rhymes or something similar.  In combat, though, I prefer the classics....
 
Conversely, my Dominion 50, Trajan Spenser, is a bit more traditional.  Touch of classical, touch of electronica?
 
For general Wildstar play, though, it doesn't get better than industrial music.  Especially the sci-fi themed stuff.  I'm a big fan of playing Celldweller when I'm out and about in Eldan facilities, and I'm a big fan of the Kovenant's sci-fi themed fare once you're into areas like Wilderrun.
 
Last night, we had fun wondering what kind of gothic music the Mordesh probably listen to (considering the cynicism and nihilism, I'm surprised they don't wear more makeup).  Still, as far as Wildstar goes, I think there's not much better suited than newer darkwave.  I'm still a fan of the classics, personally.
 
What music gets you in the mood for your characters and Wildstar in general?

I guess it would be nice to not have to use photoshop for black lipstick anymore, but If the black hair color is any indication it wouldn't be as black as I like it. 
 
I think from the last thread I hogged the music spotlight enough. I'm kind of curious as to what it is that Chua and Aurin listen to when playing? Is there a Chua belting out the best of Queen as a nearby Aurin is dropping minions of the Entity to Gangsta Rap? 
 
Anyway, have some Covenant as I go figure out where the coffee machine got to.

LOVE the topic! Honestly, mainly when I play WildStar, it's whatever suits my mood. Generally, it's some Nightwish, or some Indie with female vocals (Meg Myers, Broods, etc.). Sometimes on a boss fight we've wiped a few times on, it's something like The Final Countdown (yes, now it's stuck in your head... mwahaha!).
 
Granted, I've never really thought about what kind of music any of my characters would be into, particularly. It's never an aspect of the game I'd thought of until now. I'd actually be interested in learning more about the music the races create and prefer *coughPAPPY!!!cough* (#LoreForTheScore).
 
Also, here's some coffee for you weird coffee loving folks:

Morning coffee folks.
 
((sorry, no youtube from work because... reasons))
 
Music... hrm.  I was more a fan of Progressive Rock (Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, The Moody Blues, Yes, etc.) than metal but when I want to scratch that itch, I'll spin up some Ten Masked Men *hides*
 
Since I seem to be addicted to melee DPS (Aurin Stalker) what works for me is EDM.  I'm currently listening to some trance tracks arranged by Alice Wave.  It's close enough to what I like.  I need to find more mix tracks with things along the lines of Faithless's Insomnia and Robert Miles' Children.
 
Last night was kind of a wash.  By the time I got home I needed to hit something, so I bounced over to NW and ripped through the dailies.  I suppose I should have worked on CB too but I was expecting to meet up with somebody but that fell through.  I did manage to annoy find my secondary objective so I crossed that off the list.  The bright spot was the grand opening of a new dance club which, sadly, I forget the name of.  Their mixlr was playing a bunch of my not-so-guilty-pleasure 80's (and 90's?) pop.  Unfortunately all the late nights I've been doing had come back with interest.  Got to the Boulder late and I started to zone out so I went to bed early.
 
I see Mordesh as lovers of subtlety and complexity.  I'd think they'd be more into classical and opera.  Or even something surreal (ehrm... that's music? sounds like cats dying).

Well for classical I'm a fan of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyknBTm_YyM
Or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPJbF0MUuGo
Not that I think there are any church organs where mordesh can get to them.

Thanks for sharing your music!
 
My music tastes are widely varied, there actually isn't much I don't like :)
I've been hooked on two genres for the last 5-6 years though: Trance (mainly from 2007-2010) and Epic/Score tracks
 
During raids: 2-hour mix, X-ray dog, Immediate music, E.S Posthumus, Steve Syz <Spoiler for future videos
Everything else: Stuff like ASOT 383 (best of 2008) and 2009 Trance Yearmix
 
Anyways, WildStar-wise.. this is probably my busiest week before the big move, so playtime will be very limited :(
Getting our furniture moved this Friday eek! At least I can keep my computer stuff until a few days before we actually fly so that's always nice! 
 
 
Edit: Chua songs... clearly 1) http://youtu.be/kWub73DmkYg?t=2m16s

XVIRA WHERE ARE YOU??????

I love indie music and techno types when I quest on my own.

Good morning coffee people! :D
 
 
So we're talking about music we listen to while playing? That's great!
 
As most people who remember me know, I'm a total fangirl of the WildStar soundtrack. I could gush over Jeff Kurtenacker's work all day. :P But there are a lot of times I turn down the music and play my own, just for a change of pace.
 
Depending on what I'm doing, I switch between a lot of things. If I'm just relaxing and chatting when I play, I might have something like Banks just to help me unwind while I play.
 
My leveling playlist is huge. I think it's about 12 hours long and I just shuffle every time. But it has things like Sonic Youth, Placebo, Ladyhawke among other things. It's relatively diverse on top of it. Honestly, it even has things like Rihanna and Iggy Azalea on it. It's mostly indie and post punk though. A little bit of industrial too. 
 
I also like leveling to things like Blood Stain Child.
 
As for race-specific music: I imagine Chua enjoy listening to Powerman 5000.

I don't have a person to go with this song in wildstar yet, but my sith inquisitor generally has this on his mind when talking to Ashara Zavros

I go from Dark Lord of the Sith, to Captain Supportive, in a hundredth of a second. 
 
Music is a powerful tool in how we perceive actions and dialog.

I like your tastes - they are agreeable to mine! Also musicals, 90s rock (unashamed!!!), Peter Paul & Mary (I can't help it; my parents made sure I grew up with it!), and pretty much all eras of instrumental music from the days of monophonic chant, through the development of complex polyphonies, all the way to post-modern deconstructionist compositions. Oh and folk music from a variety of regions, including Australia, Korea, the Appalachians...
 
Er. I think my music degree is showing. XD Not sure if this is really representative of aurin players or just... me. Haha.
 
Uh, WildStar! Plans, plans... first is to get through the work day. Then maybe I'll do dailies and... kinda hoping for a vet adventure. :3 I still haven't been lucky enough to see any upgrades drop but who knows!

			I shall cross my fingers, too! And toes. And eyes. And--ow.
