Strange battle sounds.
Sound Designer
One of our designers has been tweaking the combat mix recently. The sounds you’re referring to are indeed a bit louder and carrying farther than they were previously, making them seem more frequent (they have always been there, but were not as audible unless you were very close to the source). I’ll pass along your feedback!
All the sound levels have been messed up since the Halloween patch.
I’m surprised there’s only two posts in this thread… I’ve found the battle and emote sounds unbearable since the last patch. I tried turning dialogue down but it has zero effect except for me to not be able to hear the cut scenes or NPC dialogue.
My female charr necro sounds like she has some sort of medical problem she’s grunting so much.
While I’m on that subject, please, please give the female charr more female ‘noises’. It’s obvious that some of her ‘exertion grunts’ are obviously shared audio assets with the males… it’s bad enough they don’t get their own armour styles, she doesn’t need to sound like a male as well as look like one..
