Anyone else feel bad for using octavia?

[AinzOoalGown]

I just want to start off and say octavia is one of my favorite warframe "ideas"

I just feel disheartened to even use octavia in a public match since i can understand hearing the same song the entire time can really be annoying.

I know people can just mute her but i can't help but feel like thats really sad since her idea of a bard warframe could be really cool especially with being able to make your own songs [limited as they are]

I. just wish we could atleast change songs mid mission. And it really makes me sad knowing that DE might not revisit her until years later .

idea is great but execution is limited by making player's experience enjoyable so mandachord had to have huge limitations

The tech is probably limited and they wouldn't want to invest too much resources on just one warframe alone. Having the mandachord already was what is unique to her, will most likely get more options eventually to customize longer song.

problem with mandachord lies in frequency - if you add option to edit tempo or key ears would bleeeeeeed when two Octavia's join the game. This way two songs overlap and is strange but not irritating.
Example for that would be to try to play two songs from Lez Zeppelin at the same time, Kashmir and No Quarter, one is in D and other one is in C#m.
Playing Deep Purple's Mistreated and Jinny Hendrix's Foxy Lady alongside each other will not hurt as much as both songs are in F#m.
Song have different tempo which still hurts but you may get a picture of what "key" means.

Making Fruty Loops like program is nothing new, Midi players have been out for a while but none of them has to make enjoyable gameplay.

So I doubt they will go more advanced on it, I wish there was a full scale and with it option to replicate some truly epic songs but it will most likely not happen

Eh, i play Octavia time to time and i play without sounds too.
But i did made sure that my songs are actual songs and not some annoying min-max noise.
I have a couple of pretty cute tracks.

I would like to see an option to be able to "scroll" through saved songs while on a mission.

When Im playing solo, I exclusive use Levan Polkka for her Mandachord. It brings me great satisfaction to watch everything kill itself to Levan Polkka.

When I play in groups, I just use Pumped Up Kicks, as its a nice beat, and the Metronome is fairly simple to hit.

Eh, I have never seen someone complain about Octavia so I just presume anyone who would be annoyed would just mute her.
I personally listen to other music or podcasts while playing Warframe so I usually don't even hear my own Octavia tracks even if I put quite a lot of time into making them.

About making Mandachord more complex, I personally would like it but I'm someone who actually knows music theory and writes and plays music during my free time, but keeping Mandachord as simple as possible is pretty much necessary so that people who don't know much about music and have no experience with audio software can get something out of it. It's a video game after all.

I mean all i would like to see is being able to change different songs during a mission.

[JaPhiSo]

I would like a system as in apb reloaded. That game has a pretty deep music creator, without paying extra money.
And the best thing: you can sell songs on the market!

a playlist would be cool ^^

[Ghin]

Something that really bugs me is that turning the music to 0 also mutes Octavia's songs even though there's a different slider for her.

[Rho]

The only thing that gets me is that my music has been muted for years so I can never synch up for the buffs.

[Smug Kot]

all people talking about limitation when the true problem its copyright, theres a reason why her music its limited to 30s loop and its becouse they know people will copy music.

[Aegix Drakan]

I love when an Octavia shows up. It's always fun to hear some cool new music. :D

It's one of those things that makes me turn off whatever podcast or whatever that I'm listening to in the background so I can better hear the phat beats.

I would like to see some easy to read visual for her beats. I keep my music off so I don't even bother using her since I can't even hear it to keep in sync or whatever.... ended up MR fodder and nothing more.

A visual would also help deaf people play her.
