Guild Wars 2

So I see the Pop Gun at the Gift Exchange NPC and I’m like. “HOLY S%$&*@!” It looked so amazing, so I did what any pop gun loving person would do and bought it.
I AM SO DISAPPOINTED! It doesn’t even make a “pop” noise…
I mean the slingshot makes it’s own personal noise when it fires, so why doesn’t the pop gun make a noise? Ugh, my soul is crushed…

Sooooo A Net, wanna make it “Pop?” ;D

awww. I was just doing a search to see if it made the pop noise like the toy soldier guns before I bought it. Now I’m sad too.

Sad because the soldier pop guns make noise

Thank you guinea pigs, you saved me from wasting my big pile of ugly soxes

At first I was OK with this, I was not expecting the Pop Gun to pop, but then I saw that the Toy Soldiers have Pop Guns that pop! Why can’t we just use those popping sounds/animations? ):

Yes, please! Love the skin

Totally need to adjust this skin!

Soooo sad the skin doesn’t replicate the noise! That’s the whole reason I bought the skin. Was super sad to realize the noise wasn’t held over.

Please add the pop noise to the pop gun! Whole reason to have this skin in the first place!!!

good thing i chose the slingshot skin – the rubberband “twang” is very satisfying

It would be awesome if they gave the Pop Gun the sound and animation of the Pop Gun that the Toy Soldiers are already using.

They don’t even have to create them, they already exist. They just have to give them to the players.

that’s disapointing, considering that the Toy Soldiers have pop guns that work as pop guns AND sound like them. So the ability is there. Wonder why they didn’t put it on the skin.

The pop gun skin is 3 silver on the TP. So i bought it there. 20 silver for the slingshot. Every single halloween skin is 1 gold or more. This gun needs some pop to it to boost that TP price.

I understand how this may seem like such a small matter in comparison to other issues with this game, but PLEASE devs… I implore you, add the pop noise to the skin!

It would make this skin so much better! I will buy your item transmutations to keep this skin if you do this, and I’m sure others would as well!

Please please please !!!

I just wanted to “pop” in and say that I understand how important this is to you all, and I agree that the slingshot sounds really cool when it’s fired. Unfortunately, the root of the issue is not just a mere oversight but rather a technical issue that has to do with the differences between these two weapon types. When we discovered the issue we made the determination that it was better to have the pop gun without the pop sound than not have it all.

In this case, I’m sure we want to solve this problem for other cases in the future so I would say chances are very good that this will be fixed. I just can’t say exactly when it will be fixed though. It probably won’t happen before the holiday is over.

I’m confused by this. What exactly is the “technical issue” that disabled the Pop Gun Skin from allowing a ‘POP’ sound? There are other rifles that have sound effects, surely this must not be all that different from those skins.

Thanks for letting us know.

Very cool of you to respond. I trust your judgement so I guess we’ll just have to be patient.

Hrm, its kinda worrisome to me that a sound effect cannot be put in without an issue, hopefully this gets fixed, thanks for the response.

Thanks for the update Anthony; I appreciate it

I’m a little confused here. Does this mean that the pop gun will get its pop at some time in the future, or does ‘other’ only apply to new skins that may be released during other events?

Do you guys intend to allow all weapons to join in the fun next time? As a warhorn necro, I’m disappointed that I have no options once again.

Well, if you listen to the other guns, you’ll see they sound more like “IMAP”, “IMAP”.

If you understood that joke, congratulations, you’re a nerd.

Seriously, now, I don’t understand his reply, either. There are already other rifle skins with custom sounds in the game (namely the legendary), so clearly the game engine has support for it. And they even have the “pop” sound in the game (used by the toy soldiers).

it probably has somthing to do with rapide fire and such just sounding dumb with it :P

So you now have to be a nerd to know about basic mail retrieval protocols?
Everyone who used any non-webmail email client in the past 20 years should know about pop and imap.

I better take that nerd-card away from you. It seems to be fake anyways.

Kat Dugan.1387:

We’ll fix pop guns for sure so if you already have one, fear not!

Will you also add the animation that the Pop Guns of the Toy Soldiers have? That would be great.

I can’t tell you enough how muc I appreciate the response, and knowing this will be fixed. So take your time.

thank you! Time to buy a skin or two then! :P

Kat Dugan.1387:

Yes, this change will allow pop guns to fire corks instead of bullets. :-)

Hmm. May look into getting the skin after all. Would be a nice (and amusing) ‘fix’ to owning Charzooka or some of the other, larger rifles (until now the alternative was the Guild Rifle skin).

The weapon skins will apply to all forms/levels of that weapon, right?

Thank you. I love it so much. So incredibly much.

I also love it. Thank you.

I was surprised to hear the proper sound, when I fired my rifle after the patch. I did not expect the sound an animation to come for at least another week.

whahahahaha

love it – my humungous charr with a toy pop gun that shoots a cork on a string.

Think i’m gonna play him a lot more now!

Thanks

Thank you for making my pop gun pop.
I’ve been laughing a lot in WvW today because of it.

pop gun now pops? weeeeeeeeeee!

I am loving the pop gun so so much thank you A net this is amazing, we need more weapon skin with sounds like the bell focus maybe =P

Sweet! I’ll keep my popgun skins then.

If you are planning on changing the pop gun’s bullets and manage to do it, please don’t forget the slingshot.

It may properly have a different sound, but It fires arrows instead something like steel balls that a slingshot would use.

Oh, and the malign glyphic weapons too. Energy-looking weapons should not fire gunpowder shots.

Glad to see the Pop Gun now has a sound!

Only have one complaint, on the engineer the ‘pop’ goes off for both Blunderbuss and Jump Shot which don’t really fit. Really should only ‘pop’ for Hip Shot and maybe Net Shot (Net Shot doesn’t get a pop currently).

Confirming pop gun is now awesome.

Squee! Heard the pop sound today too. Must have now!

Best. Holiday. Skin. Ever. Rofl.

Could we just… have the pop noises for all the rifle skills? I love the sound so much and will be sad if there’s less of them.

Bottom line is, kudos on coming up with the pop gun idea! Nice, very nice!

Thanks so much. I’m really looking forward to the animations and sounds for the pop gun skin.
