Guild Wars 2

Hello people, I logged in today for the new update and suddenly Necro GUI + sound changes.

To be honest I don t like these new sounds and the Death Shroud Gui is not that cool as the last one. Second The Old Death Shroud Gui was much more clear than the new one.

And mayble this is a bug , but my sound (from the first skill) from my staff is decreased.

Thank you for reading this.

Previously, Necromancer Staff 1 was very loud, now it has been tuned down to a more reasonable level compared to other in-game sounds. Furthermore, the new GUI for Death Shroud is indeed an improvement because now you can see your conditions, boons, HP, endurance, and more while in the transformation.

Honestly I like the decrease in sound to the staff auto attack, good job Arena Net

To the UI change on death shroud I will admit it took a little getting use to but I like it way better than the previous I can see buffs and conditions, so now I know when to come out of Death shroud when I am using it to soak up conditions

The new UI for Death Shroud is amazing. How can you have no idea how much better it is? You can see your energy, health, along with the debuffs and buffs on you. I seriously just can’t believe anyone thinks the old UI for DS was better.

It makes me wonder if you even really play the game. The information you have now is so much more valuable( assuming you play the the game), than having the UI hidden for your personal aesthetics.

DS skills should be above the normal UI, just like in the previous version. Now they are too small.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Why on earth they ever designed it any other way is beyond me. 4 large buttons right in the center of my screen, with no other data given? Like really either you’re on land or you’re in the water, there’s 4 of them, the timers are easy, they don’t need to be in your face. I high-fived my bf the day they fixed this.

I dunno what you guys are saying the new changes are great especially the annoying noise, i’ve met so many players that wont use necro’s because of that terrible sound constantly..

To me these were great changes, thanks..

We are not talking about the sound we are talking about the lay out for Shadow Form’s UI, which is also mentioned in this post.

I have not noticed any “terrible sound constantly” when playing my Necro. If the new sound is horrifically bad then maybe that should be looked at or maybe it is bugged for you and some others. As for the Shadow Form interface, I feel that anyone who says the new one is bad truly does not understands how to play the game… and has literally no idea how crippling the old one was.

WOO! I can honestly say I’m one of those people that refused to use staff because it sounded like I was coughing at everything. Even more annoying when I’m not playing a necromancer, yet I can tell when there’s one around…so great change in reducing the volume.

As for the UI…literally just logged in to see what the changes were. All I can say is its about time. The old UI…ugh…a necromancer went into Death Shroud and anyone targeting em knew more about their health/boons/conditions than the actual necromancer. Good changes.

Excuse me for, uh, necroing this thread, but I just played my necro for the first time since the change and didn’t realize it had been made. Speaking for the staff auto-attack sound tone down, thank you! It was pretty obnoxious for a very long time. A very much appreciated quality of life fix for necros and those who happen to be playing around them.

It was originally Necromancer’s downed state as well, hence the downed UI design.
