Guild Wars 2

I really like the sPvP narrator (the voice that says “The Svanir return!” and “Trebuchet!”), it;s very fun to listen to and creates a nice atmosphere. I think it would be nice if it was added to the PvE and maybe WvW as well.

For example, when a player gets downed by monsters, nearby players (within the map icon range) could hear an announcement. Or, when a boss performs a big attack, we could hear something like “Take cover!”, because with all the particle effects it’s hard to see. A new event nearby or even anywhere in the zone etc.

Similarly in WvW, certain situations could trigger an announcement as well. Like a keep being assaulted etc.

Naturally there should be an option to turn it on/off with a checkbox, in case someone gets annoyed by it.

I really like that guy, unfortunately, there is no need for him in the pve/wvw sections of the game, if he said take cover every time you needed to take cover, bosses are going to be easy, and in wvw if he said you’re getting assualted, well you just canceled stealth factor of capturing anything

I’d be happy if he said things based on what YOU did. Like if YOU captured something, he would tell YOU (and only you/allies that did the objective) “You’ve taken the Redwater Supply Camp!”.

Yeah I’m leaving to Arena.net to figure out what would be acceptable, I would just like to hear such announcements outside of sPvP.

It really makes things seem more epic than they are

It seems very silly, since the purpose in SPvP (I guess… it doesn’t do it very well) is to keep you informed of the battle without you having to look at the map. In WvW that would be a bad thnig.
However, I’m not saying I wouldn’t like it. Silly stuff is fun too!
