I would like to file a formal complaint...

Since the introduction of music and playable instruments in R22, I have not been able to get more than 4-5 hours of sleep per night!

- I've spent countless hours gathering resources to be able to craft a piano. (Man that was a lot of copper!)
- I've spent a few minutes crafting a lute. (I had a bunch of wood and hides saved up, so this was easy)
- I've spent countless hours searching for .abc and .mml files on the internet to save into my Songs folder.
- I've spent many more hours playing said songs on my piano and lute. (I enjoyed listening to others play too.)
- I've spent many hours fishing on the docks... oh wait, that's not relevant to this complaint - ignore that.

This ridiculously addictive horror has made me lose track of time IRL and as such I've not been sleeping well.

I am yawning all day at work due to the lack of sleep and I'm also seeing a lack of productivity. Not to mention the fact that it's getting harder and harder for me to stay in-game to play more music!

I demand something be done to correct this situation!




/sarcasm off

I would sincerely like to thank the Dev Team for giving us this wonderful game feature. I know it's been done in other games before already, but I never really had an urge to get into it. But with SOTA it just feels like it belongs and now that I've experimented a bit I'm really hooked (sliding in a fishing pun compliment because that feature is fun too).

I only have one true complaint about instrument playing, which is that the animations don't really sinc up with the notes being played. I realize this is a first pass and it won't be easy to make the avatar look like it is playing each individual note with the proper hand placement. But I would love it if it could be improved/polished so that it at least pauses when the notes pause to give it a more realistic look. That would be fantastic and may make me lose even more sleep... but it would be worth it!

I hope you all have as much fun with this post as I'm having with the music and fishing.

 

*hands up* Here.... I

 

Yes, I also have enjoyed playing my lute and fishing, which I find to be quite relaxing (especially since playing as an archer/mage this release has been very frustrating )

 

Just quit your job!

 

Thank you all for the positive feedback so far and for seeing this as just my humorous way to praise these new features. I was afraid I would get some nasty replies but was hoping you would all realize I'm just having some fun with it.

I apologize for the bait and switch tactic, but I felt that was the best method to share my bitter sweet feelings about them. I'm really enjoying them, but I am truly feeling the sleep depravity creeping in, haha. Maybe that had something to do with my weird idea to post it like this?

 

Haha, if that were a viable option, I would certainly consider it.

 

+1
I love it!

 

And IMHO the most incredible part is that this is one of those PRIME examples of crowd-sourcing at work!

(PS, Daxxe Diggler, you'll have to file your complaint with Eniko as well!!! )
