Guild Wars 2

The Level up sound is incredibly annoying especially when you are at the bank and someone is spamming tomes of knowledge right next to you because they don’t have the common decency to move elsewhere to complete their leveling up.

I know that its possible to turn down the UI volume, but changing that volume is tedious every time you want to go to the bank and spend some time there.

Would it be possible to have that level up sound unique to the character? I think that this would be the best possible solution.

Thanks for your consideration.

Don’t you have an external speaker dial? My speakers sit on my desk with a volume knob on them.

Actually, simply remove this pointless effect from the XP tome entirely, not needed at all and hugely aggravating in crowded place where people are spamming it endlessly at times.

It’s never bothered me, and if it did, turning off the sound would solve the problem in less than a second. I just don’t see the need for developer time to be spent on it.

How about removing the knock back effect. That’s annoying in groups of people killing things when people level and knock the mobs away from the melee players and the aoe fields.

Given the amount of time it takes to collect stacks of tomes, tome leveling is scarce enough for this to not be a big issue.

There’s an increase in tome leveling right now with the release in the game, but mostly you just gotta not stand around afking at the bank in sPvP and you won’t run into them much.

Uh… I mean, you can find plenty of empty banks to go to. The level-up noise is quite mild, and never bothers me because either I can mute Guild Wars or I just accept it as part of the game. I mean, come on, tell me you’ve never 80-ed a character at a bank with tomes. I appreciate having the sound in the game; it’s part of the experience, and has always been there. It’s become part of the natural background sound for crowded banks… would never be the same if it wasn’t there!

Although… we could ask Anet to give us full-on trumpet fanfares upon leveling up. That could make for awesome bank ambiance.
