Dear ArenaNet,

My friend said she will quit GW2 because her game is bugged, and that bug is driving her insane. I could not replicate the bug myself, or perhaps she did not describe it correctly, or there is something else that is wrong somewhere.

She describes the bug as follows:
“In every town, at every bank, even the bank in Heart of the Mist, a random sound of wok wok wok wok followed by something that sounds like a laughing monkey goes on and on intermittently.”

Apparently this sound is very annoying and driving her insane, and she would rather stop playing and move on, at least until this bug is fixed. It seems the issue is only on her account, she has tried re-installing, repair, anti-malware of all sorts to no avail. Like said above, I could not replicate this bug, it seems the bug is on her account only.

Could you please help find out what is causing this? I dont know if this belongs to the bug section or not, because I could not replicate the bug on my GW2 account.

Thank you.

Have your friend get on teamspeak or some other online chat with you. Turn her sensitivity up and the game’s volume up. Then have her go to a bank in game and have her type in chat when it starts sounding.

Just wait till she encounters that Krait mini.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

Mini’s need their own volume slider adjustment. Taking it step further, one slider for personal mini’s and another slider for public mini’s.

SAB minis are the only reason I’d like a mini pet audio slider, those things are nasty annoying, like finger nails on a chalkboard. I also swear the only people who use them have to be like Quarktastic and just want to drive people insane.

What does the fox say? (Nothing)
What does the krait say? (Clears throat in a disgusting manner every few seconds)

ANet should add a mini-sound slider in option.

OP – it sounds like your friend has a mini equipped, given the fact they hear the sounds wherever they go.

You could ask from your friend is that sound this one?

If it is, then it is not a bug.

I have heard all kind of excuses to stop playing a game, but this was the most funniest one Thank you for the moment of laugh.

Your choices are shutting off environmental sounds, music, player made music, effects, the UI, or all sound. None of those affect minis except the ‘all’ option, so literally the only way to deal with this crap is to put the entire game on mute.

There is also the ‘spend less time hanging around the bank’ option. I am a fan of Eye of the North. Soon that should be in the guild hall where the NPCs are ideally much better placed than the ones in any of the cities.

haha that’s definitely the Super Banana Mini xD I just tested and it has to be this. Never thought there would be something more annoying and terrifying than the SAB monkeys (I swear they still haunt my dreams from when SAB was around for the first time. That sound man…).

Nothing you can do about that unless you turn off sound. Or keep away from banks with many people. The Grove is pretty tame around the bank. Usually there are just a few players unlike Lions Arch or Ratasum. Another option would be to use the work spaces as bank. There are always much less people around.
