Guild Wars 2

Please give us the option to turn off Legendary weapon sounds or weapon sounds in general. The Dreamer gets really old listening to it for hrs upon hrs. Only option we have is turning off all sounds.

After awhile the Neigh Neigh Neigh in your ear while grouping with friends that have it makes it where I wanna avoid friends with that kitten Bow.

I’m sure the other weapon sounds are just as obnoxious.

You can have an option to turn off the sound right after I get my combat effects slider.

Odd. I keep seeing people complain about the sound the Dreamer makes, but ever since Heart of Thorns came out, my game (even after doing client fixes) plays the regular bow shot, regardless of who is firing it.

whoot, thats the best thing of the dreamer. i love to annoy other peoples with rainbowponies and that awesome pew pew pew sound. everyone hates it when im showing up and directly starts moaning, its great :D

When I was new I was wondering why there were so many horse sounds.

Nerf Dreamer, plzkthx.
Put an internal cooldown on that godsawful noise. Once every 5-10 seconds would be fine.

Dreamer’s cute ’n all, but shortbow skills are all very low iteration, which means a whinny every 3/4 sec. Not well thought out.

Thanks for your post.
Dev this is exactly why this option should appear.
Because this bow sound is so obnoxious some players use it to irritate others & others respond not so nicely.

A vicious loop is born

Does the owner of the weapon hear the sounds too?

Yes they do.
Funny thing : once I asked a dreamer owner if he didn’t find the sound irritating.
His answer : “I turned the game sound down, can’t hear it.”

I think that would drive me proper nuts. I’d be like a dog running away from my own tail.

jup thats how it is, im playing without sound too most the times, or its so low that i cant hear my dreamer enough to get annoyed of it ;)

For the love of all that is Holy give us some control over these Weapon & Mini sounds other than muting Effects Volume.

Dreamer is more like Nightmare where the same kitten song plays over and over and over. Maybe someone should hack into Anets PA System at their home office and play Dreamer through the speakers for 8 hrs and see who jumps out a window first

I must be the only one but I never had a problem with sound. I don’t know why but even with all songs options on, I don’t hear anything irritating.

Still glad I decided to make Kudzu instead.
At least the birds are pretty chill.

Nevermind, I’m not the only one, apparently.

I’m really hoping they add the ability to mute these weapon sounds. I mean they could make a slider that mutes all other player sounds. Nevermore and Hope I guess make annoying sounds as well with each skill

Think of it rather than having only a Player Instrument Volume Slider but having a
Other Players Volume Slider that would raise or lower the sound for other players instruments, Mini’s, Weapon Sounds, Spell Sounds and Skill Sounds.

I’m almost tempted to make a Dreamer just to hunt down Anet Castles and let them bask in the glorious sounds of Dreamer, Nevermore and Quip.

Just wait till you’ve had someone follow you around spamming the highest note on the wintersday choir bell…

…I’ll be seeing you soon

Does Kudzu have a sound?

I play with my sound so low, I’ve not noticed if this one does, but I have definitely heard The Dreamer and it drives me nuts.

I just made a ranger, and though I’ve never really wanted a legendary before (most are so visually loud to me, this one looks very appealing and ’druid’ish), I am thinking about Kudzu.. but only if it isn’t nails on a chalk board annoying.

Edit- just saw what Zalani posted. So, just birds? But no nerve grating birds, I hope.

I rarely spend time with anyone using The Dreamer (as a matter of chance, not as a specific choice,) so I find it more funny than annoying. This post, however, makes me rethink whether it’s worth the annoyance it does cause.

I hate it when sounds, animations, etc. get changed in any significant way, but in this case…

I prefer the old sound Dreamer had. It was less about ponies, and more about glowing magic flying to air. New one is ok, though the pony voice is a bit of a high tune, making it annoying for long while (a bit more adult ‘pony voice’ would fix that).

aggressive neighing intensifies

There’s a lot of things that the devs could use a dose of their own design for.

Like running by their cubicle every three seconds and knocking them over. :P

Sorry didn’t see this till now. But yeah, whenever you shoot and sometimes while your idling with the weapon drawn you can hear birds.
There not nearly as bad as Dreamer and I like them personally. But it really depends on the person so you can prob find a youtube vid of Kudzu effects if you want.
