New voice acting in conquest - Feedback

[Classic Perception.2507]

Would it be possible to get some of the community's feedback on the new voice acting in conquest ?

 

They recently changed the voice when capping a node on several maps.

 

For my part, I absolutly hate it to the point it triggers me every single time...i almost don't want to cap the node lol. It sounds like an old frustrated single woman surrounded by cats and hitting puberty at 70, that's how bad I find it.

 

Don't hesitate to voice your opinion in order to motivate anet to change it to something else, or back the way it was (because it was fine...).

 

PS: I'm actually going to edit this because I don't want this post to be misinterpretated by Arenanet staff. I watched a review video of the new voice annoucers in conquest saying how cool it was to have both female and male announcers. I 100% agree with that, it keeps it fresh. But my critic doesn't focus on that note but rather on the intonation used. At the moment, it doesn't depict at all the atmosphere in conquest but rather, in a posh way, "BeHoOoOld my new chinese porcelain cup of tea".

Means Anet already followed my advice how to make ppl quit PvP even faster by expanding the new map voice to other maps rofl

Next time Troy Baker and Steve Blum are back in the voice acting booth, can we get their smooth, sexy voices announcing conquest maps? It's like 10 lines. I would pay gems for this.

I can voice the lines for free if they want.

But I agree how uncomfortable those voices are.

Ooooh, I'd love Troy Baker! Plus he's hot, totaly my type of boyfriend! He'd make me cap anything !

 

Edit : and i'd like him say "you're so pretty" when i score a kill, "i love you" when i'm on a rampage, and " please marry me" when i pentakill <3

 

Edit 2: I'd pay 10k gems for that!

I don't know what this trope is called, but the VA for this arena reminds me of this.

oh my

just heard the female announcer voice

this is awful, really awful

 

i don't particularly mind a female announcer, but the tone and inflection doesn't fit at all

i like the old one but if we have to have diversity i'd go for a female that sounds like an angry domineering bitch to announce my pvp things

not this leisurely old woman sounding one

Make voice packs in gemstore!

[AllNightPlayer.1286]

Did not **Jon St. John** make the PvP voiceovers normally?

[Gamble.4580]

Push to talk would be awesome nothing better than being trolled by a 10year old.. but yeah being able to upgrade the voices I have heard on repeat for years would be good

Yes..."this" is exactly what i'm referring to.

I personally have no issues with the voice. In fact, i would love even more diversity in the voice overs. It gets old hearing the gruff voice yelling at me for taking the pier, stalling for time, slaying the blue lord, ringing the bell, etc etc etc.

[Yannir.4132]

Personally I barely pay attention to the announcer. Might as well not be there.

Thank you for the feedback.

 

Thank you arenanet for the modifications on djinn's dominion, way less cringe I feel.

I want Taimi or Canach to announce my matches.
