Guild Wars 2

I like idling in the Grove home instance but at some points the NPCs have started to have sound to go with their constant /no emote. Usually have to adjust my audio settings when I’m there. :/

At some point I stopped talking to the sylvari banker who greets me with more violence, less violets… or something along those lines.

We should form a giant group and all equip the banana minis and walk around lions arch.

Warhorn, Warhorn, Warhorns. Anet is totally ignoring what has become the biggest cruel joke in sound effects, in the entire game. Not only have they made farting warhorns, but they weren’t even clever enough to come up with different fart sounds!
Wh is base to my build as necro and I use it ALOT. I cringe every time I activate it.

Mini Super Banana?

Yeah, I was going to say that too.

notebene.3190:

Oh yeah, hate this one too.

For some reason “less violence I say, more violets” drives me mad.

When a merchant says “I got what you need right here”. I doubt it.

New warhorn. A million times the new, stupid warhorn. kitten.

Beat me to it—LOL.
And they continue to ignore warhorn fart thread.

Quaggans talking annoy me

Mini Toxic Hybrid, hands down, the most annoying sound in game.

After the most recent BWE the Glint “roar” upon activation of her legend is really annoying. It sounds like an annoying charr cub imitating a dragon rather than a dragon.

Necro using the horn. When was it changed? It sounds like a rotten fart now.

New horn sounds like farts. Please fix

It’s terrible. And I hadn’t seen one from anyone yet, so I made this about it:

How about a lack of sound that I find annoying. The Barradin statue fight cutscene for the beginning of the Charr story. No sound of the statue at all. Big flash and stuff going on and silence. It used to have sound. what happened to it and why was it taken away?

The Farthorn, for one. The stupid doves/pigeons in Divinity’s Reach, incessant, useless and repetitive chatter from NPC’s…

I hate the grating, squeaking sound of the huntsmanship workstations. Really annoying and almost physically painful to listen to.

The sounds of running through water. I have no idea why it bothers me so much, but that crunchy squishing sound just grates on me.

Warhorns

Mesmers

/thread

Definitely the Super Banana. Only thing in the game that makes me consider the owner a bad person, no further questions asked.

Quip.

Thank god SAB pistols exist as the true Legendary Pistol. Pew pew.

ProtoGunner.4953:

“If Mordremoth can attack the mother tree in the Grove, he can attack anywhere!” During selling in Silverwastes. My god, this guy tells that every 30 seconds, it’s so annoying.

The racist Charr near him constantly whining about Sylvari and Skritt makes it even worse. Wish I could stab him in the neck.

Ding ding ding Ding ding ding Ding ding ding – anonymous troll with a choir bell.

Also, the clicking sound from Lich Form #1 it is abnormally loud and obnoxious.

Liewec.2896:

dancing emote voices, especially asuran.

Thisssss. Most all emotes should be silent! With the exception of, like, laughing or other emotes with an expressly needed audio component.

Zoltar MacRoth.7146:

The insipid and repetitive dialogue on many npcs. I would listen to the new warhorn all day long rather than hear that researcher at the reactor entrance telling me one more time how the reactor exploded and the something something did something something.

Also this. I really do appreciate all the little conversations you can overhear. But when you’re in the same areas over and over again, they start to get old. Not to mention that Scout camped outside the Black Citadel. “Hey. Come talk to me. Hey. Come talk to me. Hey. Come talk to me. Hey. Come talk to-” I already talked to you!!! Leave me alone!

sephiroth.4217:

My character making bad puns everytime I do something.

And this. No need for this at all. Or better yet, just turn the taunts/puns into an emote and leave it at that.

And you know, it’s not like the voicework is badly done at all. In fact it’s all quite good and really shines in all the cutscenes. But no matter how good the voicework is done, if it’s not played at the right moments, it will come off as grating no matter what.

The new warhorn sound is abysmal, but hands down the most annoying sound(s) for me comes from the super minis, chiefly the banana. It makes me want to destroy everything in a hundred-mile radius.

And those racist kids by the guild hall in LA. No, I don’t want to stab them. But kitten . Some kids need a spanking.

I think it’s a great soundeffect. Yeah, I hoped for more diversity and different aspects, but the basic horn sound like the huge horns we have in Lord of the Rings or in GW1. Sounds epic.

People aren’t just used to it. It’s a matter of time. I remember people complaining about the new achievement soundeffects.

What’s wrong with the new Warhorn sounds? I think they’re fine/

Girl: Let’s play investigators! I wanna be Kasmeer.
Boy: Okay. I’ll be Marjory.
Girl: (giggle) If you’re Marjory, you gotta let me give you a kiss.
Boy: (yelp)
Girl: (giggle) Come back!

I mean the whole “progressive” in-you-face overplayed romance between the two most boring characters in the game was already getting on my nerves, but having to hear those two kids harping on about it every time I’m at the bank in LA is REALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYY annoying.

Booiiiinggg!

It would be great if the audio team took the top twenty most annoying sounds in game and reworked them to make them easier to listen to.

I hate sound of the spells, when you use your spells your character always say something. So if you play for 10 hours, you are using 5 spells all the time, and he is repeating same thing all the time.
there is 1 mute button which will mute everyone not only you. Too bad there isnt mute sound just for your character.

Haha, I love that dialogue, its silly yet ironic at the same time.

While the new farthorn is certainly ugly, its almost funny for me, so I can’t complain about that.

The only really hideous sound I can think off is that mewing-cry-whizz the bone fingers from Tequatl event do when they die. It gives me goosebumps, specially when I’m not the one killing the things, and I just can’t say from where comes the sound. Awful.

Citizens!

But seriously, that new warhorn man

CITIZENS!

On topic:
Bird mail carrier sound.

This! I have two of the bird mail carriers and every time I sell something on the TP, that stupid chime or whatever it is.

Doggie.3184:

Except he’s not talking about Skritt. In GW1 EotN you have to work with a Charr and he calls Gwen, “Mouse”. I think he’s referring more to Humans than Skritt.

“More Violets less Violence”

Yep, in the books the Charr call the human “mouses”. The skritt are not mentioned at all.

The mini mystic dragon I cannot stand

It sounds like someone burping while also being the engine of a motorcycle and it’s terrible I’m glad people have started putting them away omg

Merchant NPC. “Everyone should learn to bargain.”

Does he bargain? Nope. He has a set price and I can take it or leave it.

If Mordremoth can attack the Mother Tree in the Grove, it can attack anywhere!

I must not let fear poison my heart…

All the extremely repetitive voice lines at the pact base in silverwastes:

“I don’t see why we have to take orders from mice and talking cabbages.”
“If Mordremoth can attack the mother tree in the grove, it can attack anywhere!”
“…jammed with sand…”

Every ~20 seconds over and over and over and over.

My regular idle/chill spot…

clank clank clank

TAKE HEED

clank clank clank

“Its a dangerous time to be travelling.”

clank clank clank

For me, the footsteps. They just sound unnatural to me, like they’re obviously fabricated. I can’t really place it right now. :T

Lindelle.3718:

TAKE HEED

It’s solely because of her that, should Jormag drop from the sky and destroys what little the Norn have for civilization, I would not be upset.

Also, right up there with most annoying sound?

GEORmag. That grates on my inner linguist like few things ever could.

Annoy-o-tron back pack
ding ding from the ho ho tron mini
All SAB minis + Karka mini
Dreamer
Quip
Queen-bee aura

at least i can nuke all player instrument if i want ….

I’d go for “we heal as one” heal on ranger. If I have that skill equipped I’ll play without sound. It’s literally a skill that after you’ve heard it 10 times, you’d rather kill your char than use the heal with sound on game.

Would love a mute option for my own char.

that asura near FE who coughs to death repeatedly, hands down is my least favourite sound in the game.
That stupid stupid job-o-tron backpack people have
the water fountains in LA
there’s a flute that plays in a graveyard that’s pretty annoying too

I thought he meant asura

True the Charr have called Gwen a mouse, but the Charr in question here specifically says “talking mice”. He’s referring to the Skritt.
