Not sure if it happens for any other weapon but when my Charr is holding his hammer (hammer out, not on back) and he jumps anything even slightly higher than a normal jump, he screams as if he were falling.
Happens almost every time I use jump shot on my engineer’s rifle. makes it sound like I’m trying a half terrified, half ferocious battlecry.“Wah!, ha, hah… AAAAHHHGHHHHHH”
enemy is paralysed with uncertainty to whether he should be fleeing or chasing me
This bug isn’t unique to charr, my asura screams a lot. But that could just be because he’s small and brittle
Okay, I’m going to start flagging these as duplicates.
There are a few threads like this already, and every time this comes up, the majority response is no, don’t fix it. As such, I feel that people are just starting new threads to avoid the majority response.
I’m having the same screaming charr problem, a constant half scream half howl sound (engineer). 5 seconds don’t go by without hearing it, it’s non stop and it’s annoying.
And no, it doesn’t sound anything like a battle cry, not even remotely close. It sounds more like a beaten dog, I don’t get how anybody would want it.
It’s probably the sound effect that should trigger when falling from high height that instead triggers every time the charr doesn’t have feet on the ground, like a simple jump in-place or moving to a different level of terrain. Meh.
Interesting, notice the different responses. I’ve not seen anyone saying “don’t fix it” when talking about the charr one but all the asura players find it amusing. In short, tiny gnomes screaming when they fall 5 feet = amusing, massive cat beast screaming when they fall 5 feet = annoying and weird.
I can’t imagine anyone would be saying “no, don’t fix it.” It isn’t even one of those “funny” or “cool” bugs… it’s just annoying and immersion-breaking.
If it only happened occasionally I wouldn’t mind. In fact, I might have even found it amusing since the scream itself is rather funny. But with certain weapons drawn (shortbow, in my thief’s case) the sound plays nearly every time you jump. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve rebound the “Sheath Weapon” key to something easily accessible so that I can quickly stow my shortbow as soon as I leave combat to avoid the issue.
Considering how easy the bug is to reproduce, I’m surprised it hasn’t been fixed yet.
Yep. I get it when just jumping sometimes, or dropping off a really small ledge which causes no damage. It’s really annoying to hear him screaming like he’s gonna die when stepping off a 2 inch ledge.

Oh God the Char wailing is horrible, I’m pretty sure im having nightmares with that scream. It happens when I jump but not from high enough to be damaging just regular jumps and the wailing starts.
You people are either seriously over-exaggerating or you’re getting something different to what I am. Which makes me wonder if it manifests differently for different people…
I happen to get a shouty charr when jumping (I don’t want that gone, you can all deal with that), but I certainly haven’t heard my charr ‘howl like a beaten dog.’ This makes me wonder if there are various levels to this.
My Charr ranger continues to scream her head off, while my other 2 (Necro and Warrior) appear to be unaffected. I can hear her yelling on my husbands computer too, sometimes when she doesn’t yell on mine; so between the 2 of us it’s about every other jump. Very strange.
