Guild Wars 2

I play this great game with headphones usually, but when I came to Eldvin Monastery, I started hearing this noise like a light motor revving up. I thought it was outside it didn’t seem to fit the game and thought it would pass, but I was working my way through the area and Godslost so I had to listen to it for hours. It actually started to make me ill. It was of course the portals, because you would hear them whirr down when destroyed, but they pop up so frequently and numerously, the sound is always there.

Please turn down and shrink the range of this ambient noise. It has no place reaching to Eldvin.

I actually think this is really cool. If you are in range of the swamp you get the message and can hear the portal sounds. It sound “un-worldly” to me, which fits.

I think the portal sounds are a bit loud. You can hear them when you’re in the monastary and trying to do the human zone level 11 heart. It sounds like a spaceship landing or something lol. While I think the sound is pretty cool, I think its far too loud and shouldn’t be able to be heard that far away from their point of origin, I mean I’m no where near them!

I don’t mind the sound, except that it never seems to turn off unless you zone. It makes it sound like someone on Ventrilo has left their microphone on next to an idling engine. :P
