Guild Wars 2

I don’t like the grunting voices for my characters’ emotes. She sounds like she’s a mute trying to speak but she can’t. Sounds like she doesn’t have a tongue or has a speech handicap. It’s just uncreative and lazy voice acting. Please replace these grunts with some better voice acting or remove them from the emotes. I would prefer silent emotes than stupid sounding ones.

Try them yourself…

BTW: I’ve only played female human characters so far.

I think it’s cute. It was hilarious during Mad King Says

I agree. When everyone shrugged, I could not stop laughing.

I agree too. It reminds me of cute Japanese games like the Legend of Zelda and many others.

Changing it might get a bit silly. Imagine if you could force your character to say “I can outrun a centaur!” at will. Now imagine what the idiots will do with that.

That said, I wonder if character personality could effect things like emotes? Consider /cheer. You could have have a brazen, chest-beating roar for the Brutal archetype. Captivating characters could let out a courtly, slightly cooing patter of applause.

they should make sounds that sound better than grunting

I’d be happy if we can just get the very male sounding grunt removed from female characters when jumping… personally haven’t heard anything while emoting though… if it is the same grunt sound them please…. PLEASE… remove or change it.
