aaron.7850 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 So I finally unlocked the Druid elite spec and decided to use test my staff, and lo and behold my ranger is now a submarine scanning the depths of the ocean for kaiju activity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Sounds like you broke out of the map, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 -ping-.....-ping-....-ping- Seriously, its a sonar sound, and after hearing real sonar(aka being 5 feet above the source.) that sound is such an irritation to my ears i had to stop using staff on my druid, good thing i play the game muted now, but if i could change that sound on my end i so would.

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Oh, a sound effect. Never noticed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron.7850 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I am talking about the baffling sound effect of Staff 1... its so off-putting and immersion breaking its like a dev put it in there as a placeholder and forgot about it. And its very annoying too. It is LITERALLY a submarine sonar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 As a general rule it's never a good idea to assume that everyone reading a forum topic (any topic, on any forum) is aware of the problem you're having or considers it a problem. Chances are at least some of them have never noticed, some are indifferent and when it's something like this there's probably even some people who like it. When you make a topic vaugely alluding to the problem in a way that only makes sense if everyone else had the same reaction you did you're going to get a whole load of confused people and very little traction for getting the problem fixed. Imagine your target audience is people who have never equipped a staff on a druid. They would hate the sound if they did but currently they're unaware of it. How would you get them on board with your request to change it? What exactly is the problem? What would you do to change it? (Also be prepared for the fact that some people will, genuinely, like it the way it is and you'll need to either find a reason (other than your own opinion) that your position takes priority - it's enough of a problem that fixing it justifies removing something people like - or you'll need to find a compromise, like adding it to the things changed by the 'unique item sounds' options so you can mute it and they can keep it. You can still use similes and metaphors to emphaise the point, you just can't rely on them to make the entire point for you when the underlying facts aren't apparent to your audience.

Funky.4861 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I like the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyan.1593 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Druid is my main, and while it doesn't bother me, I have to say, the sound design for staff 1 actually is quite questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand I do have my effects volume set to something not obnoxious so that might be part of it. The default sound settings makes those way too loud.

Listen carefully during the fight. Long ago I suggested a different sound, but... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Celestial Avatar 5 skill sound is like some kind of machine whirring, not a druid-communing-with-nature sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
