Guild Wars 2

It is terribly annoying sometimes when you hear voices from the off that have nothing do with you or you current location. And to make matters worst these voices are a lot louder then the normal dialogues. And the voices in the cutscenes are also much louder.

This also seems to be a general problem with the audio engine. The effect volume is sometimes poorly balanced. Some effects are way too loud compared to others.

I have set the quality to highest quality and adjusted the volume differently. But I believe this has nothing to do with the issue I described.

I would appreciate if the Devs can look into this and fix this.

Yeah, I’m not a big fan of how NPCs a half-mile away give Dynamic Event status updates at regular volume as if they’re standing right next to you. They need to come up with a way to adjust volume levels by proximity while also being able to update players participating in an event about its progress in a way that makes more sense. It isn’t just spoken dialogue, either. I was wondering what the incredibly loud “booms” were in one of the little camps in Diessa Plateau, until I realized they were being made by trebuchets that were way off in the distance. Audio mixing needs a lot of work in this game.
