Guild Wars 2

Particularly in town, we don’t need to hear “more violets, less violence” 100 times as we craft.

Half of the problem is that when another player talks to an NPC, the rest of us hear the NPC greet each one. No one needs to hear that.

The other half is from autocast skills, like “For Great Justice” which repeat in town. I know it’s helpful to have sound effects while in group combat to better teamplay. But in town, there’s no benefit and only aggrivation.

I suggest making NPCs only play sounds when speaking to the player, and giving an option to turn off combat sounds or at least combat voice audio in town.

Necromancer Staff auto attack needs to be silenced. ’Nuff said.

When playing with another Warrior other than myself:

FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
SHAKE IT OFF!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
SHAKE IT OFF!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
FOR GREAT JUSTICE!
SHAKE IT OFF!

It would really help if each Race/Gender combination had at least five different voices to pick from.

I remember this bugging me on the 3rd day of pre-launch and I thought “god I can’t wait for them to fix this”. I can’t say how many times I’ve shouted at my screen “HOLY COW SHUT UP ALREADY!!”. It’s so kitten grating. I want to stab the Asura by the tailor station in LA.

And that robot at the caledon forest crafting stations with its terribly-told jokes over and over. A bad joke repeated is torture.

The only work around right now is just turn your sound off and put some music on. That’s what I have to do when I play my necromancer to avoid being driven insane. I don’t mind the town ones so much as I don’t stay in any one area that long. But you can’t escape the noises your character makes.

BY OGDEN’S HAMMER, WHAT SAVINGS

Seriously.

“No, YOUR face is funny. It’s like a little raisin.” While I don’t think their intent was for people to stand in LA for hours…I feel like the conversation loop should be a bit longer.

If I have to listen to the bartender talk about his kitten wife being pregnant one more time, I will get a hysterectomy!

I can run faster than a centaur btw. Ideas are like cream, good ones always rise to the top. For great justice! These are just a few that I have nightmares about I hear them so much.

lol…my char really can outrun a centaur. She hits them with her music book and then flees!

The worst one I’ve come across so far is at the bank in Divinity’s Reach. A constant string of female groans (not seemingly coming from any of the NPCs in there) playing at random pitches so quickly that it almost sounded like I had stumbled into a brothel.

It must be a glitch. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself every time I have to go in there.

The let that go on, but they break the mechanical orchestra so that it doesn’t play at all. How sad is that?

The one that drives me crazy is when in the Norm city Trading Post and you have to listen to that drunk female saying “come here and gimme a kiss” etc. I really liked in EQ2 you had the option to hear NPC callouts just once in an area.

really? so nobody is mentioning:

“which way to the outhouse?”

it`s really sad I have to turn off my speakers when I go to LA.
also, I would like to play necro or mesmer but sry can`t stand necro staff and mesmer greatsword sounds.

+1. Agree 100%. Silence them all 1/10 or 1/100 for all I care. We want to LIVE here. Especially in taverns.

The one that really drives me crazy is the one in the Hunting Lodge in Queensdale. The bartender’s kitten kitteny kitten kittening wife gets pregnant 20 times a day.

I thought that was the guy visiting the bar’s wife.

Ok, I haven’t played my necro in a few weeks and decided to try adjusting different things on the sound controls to see if I could get rid of that repetitive sound. Only she wasn’t making the fighting sound. So question … is it just made with some weapons (staff for example as she has a wand at the moment) or did they do something about it? If it is just made from the staff I’ll go wand spec from now on.

I agree, but please do not do this to Lionguard Lyns.

I am ready to throw money at her every time she speaks.
