Guild Wars 2

It is too large.
I get to hear bad guys announcing their presence/events every
30-40 sec,and I am way to far from them.
It is unnecessary,and it is very annoying to the point that it is
unpleasant.
The mini map and map markers are more than enough.
Yesterday,in Caledon Forest, Xoloti spamming it’s phrase
loud and clear on my speakers when I was all the way down south
of the bay were the event takes place,made me just exit the game.
It was impossible to do anything else whilst having the same phrase
being repeated again and again to the point of kitten kitten Hodor kitten.
You need to reduce the radius of such vocal announcements.
Also reduce the rate at which they are being repeated.
Your over stating of some features that are “unique” to this game
ends up reducing the quality of the game and contributes to a lesser
gaming experience.
There is an open public event on the other side of the map and bla bla bla.
Got it.
The first 10 times was enough?

Yes I agree with this….
It is NOT fun listening to a boss announce themselves repeatedly over and over again. A lot of the time these are Group Event bosses as well, so it’s not like you can just go kill them -_-

Would NPC dialogue during personal story missions being too quiet unless you’re standing right next to them also be game design?

Good idea on the reduction of certain range/frequency of NPC statements in the world!

Here are some that I can recite from memory because they repeat so frequently:

1) “Your weakness makes me laugh!” <— Ice Fractal (Son of Svanir boss says this way too often).

2) “Prove the sun shines through you. Face me in another form!” <— Xotol(?) in caledon forest.

3) “No, no no!….” <— Dredge in Sorrow’s Embrace repeats this statement every time a player walks over some trigger and it ends up going off 10 times at least within a minute.

4) “You heard Grast, hold the line, send the intruders to Grenth” <— Kholer in Ascalonian Catacombs, same problem as the dredge in SE, repeats the line for every player that walks past which leads to “You heard Grast, You heard Grast, You heard Grast, You heard Grast, You heard Grast, hold the line! Send the intruders to Grenth!”

5) “We have cleared the entrance to the citadel of Flame!” <— Citadel of Flame Announcer Lady

And there are really so many others. I like the fact that there are sound effects, and it is cool that I can joke and say one of those lines and other players will laugh because we all know how annoying they get. But a slight toning back of the frequency on repeated lines/ fixing the triggers in dungeon runs on certain NPCs would really be helpful if you ever get a chance!

Thanks for your hard work!
