Guild Wars 2

I know that historically people have complained a lot about the sounds the SAB minis make, but since I never had any interest in using one myself it wasn’t really a problem for me, although I certainly agree that a “mute miniatures” checkbox was long overdue even before now.

Now though, we have the Mystical Dragon, which is a gorgeous mini and finally one of a decent size. However, it is constantly making a very low-frequency growling noise like a creaking ship, and I just can’t deal with it anymore. As much as I love the mini, I had to switch back to something silent. Of course, since it was a free mini they are now everywhere , so getting away from the noise completely is very difficult.

Please, please give us the option to mute the sounds miniatures make.

Yes please. I was once again reminded about this annoyance after having to stay near one of the SAB minis for an hour.

Mute option for minis only would be awesome.

It’s been requested before but I’m adding this to my list of things I really wanna see HAPPEN and not just “we’re looking into it”.

All it needs is a little toggle-able check box whether we want mini sounds off or on… That’s it. Please before I go insane having to listen to all those Super minis or this new dragon which everyone and their mum’s brown dog has.

+1

Mute them, hide them, all better. They are one of the reasons I have sound turned off in the game right now. Would like to see the custom mail carriers get a hide option as well, There is far to much Spam in the game these days.

I have to agree, if they aren’t willing to consider adjusting sizes to be more appropriate I want them gone. All of them, I don’t ever want to see another mini again.

And we know they already have the ability to do it! The game automatically hides them all already when player population gets too high.
All we need is a manual toggle for that.

Edit, you mean just the sound. I want them visually mutable, so I don’t have to see them anymore.

nah no check box ….in my opinion , mini sounds should be added to the existing player instrument slider. Add the back-pack annoy-O-Tron while your at it.

On board with this as well – please allow us to mute at the very least or as someone suggested tie it to the instrument sound.

inb4 we just get a “mute minipets” option I suggest a whole “show minipets” checkbox!

This^

A slider would be nice.

No complaints here.

the various golem ‘tron’ sounds from the backpack to the copper fed salvage tron are the sole reason I have voices muted in gw2. (well, that and the Caithe’s wylde hunt spam by the Cursed Shore TP that seems to loop with only 15 seconds of downtime. ) – seems a shame to have all that time and effort go to waste, but ill be kitten ed if I have to listen to the incessant modulated voice, to say nothing about the ridiculous dialogue itself.

I can’t upvote this idea enough. I’m getting tired of explaining to my 7 year old why my computer starts hocking loogies every time someone comes around with a toxic hybrid.

I just play with all game sounds off, sure some of them are ok, but some aren’t so I just mute everything.

The mini Toxic Hybrid is my favorite to have out and about with me, but if I’m standing still for a while it can get pretty annoying. This particular mini used to be silent, then they changed it so he makes this very loud “HUP”/“HUARGH” growl thing every time he rears up and then falls back down. Everyone around you can hear it, which means you can kinda troll large groups of people like at the bank. It would be really nice to be able to turn it off.

> uses Mini Karka Hatchlings

> Standing intensifies

Yes, please. I would love a way to mute minis and the annoy-o-tron.

This so much. It’s so annoying having to listen to everyones stupid mini make noise when you’re in a large group. I get why they’re not wanting to create a hide minis button since that’s part of the fun of having a mini is to show it off, but kitten do they having to be so dang annoying and loud?

yet another thing they could have done from release but never did, it already exists in GW1…….

NUUUU!! DON’T REMIND ME OF THAT HORRID NOISE!

…spot on impression tho. :p

I wish we could mute annoying NPC’s. If I have to hear that child that says that ’ I saw a hunter with a doggy and it said woof’ or some such kitten one more time! Grrr!!!

The option to hide minis would be greatly appreciated. Especially that obnoxiously large dragon everyone seems to have now.

TWITCH ((o.o))

I have sounds off anyway but why don’t you turn down environmental sounds if you don’t like mini sounds?

I enjoy the conversations with the NPC’s as well as many of the combat and game sounds because they add to my experience. Playing with the sound turned off removes a large portion of the game.

Minis are not part of MY game experience. They are something that another player has chosen to put into the game and i am happy they enjoy listening to a mutant hybrid coughing up phlegm but it’s something I would like the option to block somehow.

A definite +1 to the option to both mute and hide minis. Also, a “show only party member’s minis” should be an option as well.

[] Mute all
[] Hide all except for mine
[] Hide all except for mine and party member’s
[] Hide all

Hide AND mute minis please. They’ve only been a minor annoyance until these dragons, but now I have them swirling around and three or four almost filling my screen in large group areas. I even turned down the Character Model Limit in hopes it would hide the annoying things, but they seem to pop up before other players.

I guess they’re great for the vanity look-at-me hogs, but with every other player sporting one…there’s not much that makes any one player stand out.
