Guild Wars 2

It would really be nice to have the option to turn of the audio notifications for things like warrior adrenaline. It kind of breaks the immersion hearing my character say things like “getting pumped” and “Adrenaline full”. I know people like to have an audio cue, but for those of us that don’t mind looking at the bar and preferring that our character stay a little bit more on the quiet side, it sure would be nice to have an option to disable the audio portion.

I agree that it should be an option. I don’t mind constant chatter, myself, as long as there is a little variety in the lines used so that you don’t hear the same line for the same ability every time. I’d like to see them record lines for tells that are a bit more in character and not so literally used as a game tool, though…“getting pumped” works fine, but “Gaining adrenaline” and “Adrenaline full” sound pretty ridiculous.

Agree completely. I’d love to be able to turn off the boon voiceovers. They’re pretty corny, and get really repetitive. The achievement lines, too. I don’t like hearing my character say such over-the-top comic phrases all the time.

But the Asura are that great, and are genius…es.

If it were just the Asura, ok, maybe that’s just part of the theme, and an argument could be made that if you don’t like it, you should play another race – but it’s not just the Asura.
Seems to be every race.

In a similar note, I find it annoying when my warrior starts losing adrenaline she says “Adrenaline risiing!”…

I don’t mind hearing my character talk when I get certain boons because I find it helpful, but I’d REALLY like an option to turn off the audio for other people’s characters. I really couldn’t care less that the Human Elementalist next to me that I’ve never spoken to before can outrun a centaur. Hearing other people’s characters is a bit annoying to me, and I’d really rather just hear my own.

I agree — I would love to have this option for both your character or other characters. When my female charr randomly yells “Gaining adrenaline”, it gets pretty annoying (and sometimes startling). Shoot, I often feel bad for my party members when they have to hear my character shout out “For Great Justice!” over and over again.

I certainly don’t mind the voice-acting in general, but just as others have stated, it’s too repetitive and sometimes corny-sounding when it comes to the audio notifications.

I really wish for an option for this too.
A lot of people keep that “For great justice!” on autofire even in cities. It’s very very annoying to try to craft or browse the trading post when there’s 2-3 people going “For great justice!” every 15 seconds

Ugh yes, this is definitely the most annoying one. -.- Guild Wars 2 is the first game I’ve played in years where I’ve actually really enjoyed the music/game noises and kept my speakers up super loud to enjoy it. Despite this, sometimes I get so annoyed by the “For great justice!” spam that I have to turn my speakers off when I’m standing at the Trading Post in Lion’s Arch.

TL;DR: Please let us turn off other people’s voices separately from our own. :[

are there any news about the repetition of audio cues?
