Guild Wars 2

What kind of a battlecry is a high pitched squeak?

Whenever I’m using a Greatsword and just swinging it around with the #1 skill, half the time my character gives out a really high pitched squeak. Is it supposed to be a grunt or something for swinging around such a huge weapon, because it sounds more like a screeching cat or a bird of some sort. The other half the time the character at least sounds human, but that noise is starting to weird me out a bit.

Bumping this because it’s relevant to my human female guardian and mesmer. Sometimes they sound normal when fighting, then all of a sudden high pitched HNNK sounds.

Sometimes I wish arenanet gave us optional style of voices to use as well, not just in combat but in general areas (not storyline, would be too much to re-record), for example, the default voices for male and female could be considered “smug” (I achieve things; I’m an achiever!), give us options like “peacelover”, “aggressive”, “smart”, etc.

I second giving us more voice options. Last night I created a male thief, I chose the street rat option and made him look kind of malicious and street-smart… Then I get to the story sequences and he has the same dignified, goody-two-shoes voice of my warrior with noble parents, really felt like a very out of character voice to the point that I’m considering remaking him, a shame because this is the first time I really play with the sliders in character creation and REALLY liked how he turned out.

More voice options would be rather expensive, both in data files and money for recording/implementing them.

I’m pretty happy we get voices in the first place. You have no idea how silly Kitten Trek Online’s curscenes are.
