Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I ’ve recently crafted Predator, the legendary rifle I always wished to wield, because of the amazing flame theme and of course the pew pew sound.
Unfortunately, I am a little disappointed at my very first battles since I came across the following issue. During a fight when other people are around, Predator goes silent almost for all the fight and only it makes hat classic sound 1 or 2 times, and all the other times I shoot with it there is no sounds coming out of it. At the same time, I clearly hear the sounds of other people around me, wielding longbows, shortbows, pistols (even Quip), but not my weapon((
On the other side, being alone at a training dummy in HoTM the sound is normally heard every time I shoot with it.
So, I suppose is an issue when there are other characters around me. Is it a measure to mute these sounds to be less annoying for other people? But then why I was haering each and every sounds from a Quip next to me, which is even more annoying (at least for me). Is there any other explanation?

Thanks in advance!

I would pay to mute my predator…I would pay to mute the predator sound for the peoples around me when I spam 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 to don’t annoy them.

Anyway,in big size fights,like big zergs in WvW or boss battles in PvE ,it is a common issue.
Sadly the sound is muted for you only,your allies will be able to hear it.

I think the system just can’t handle all the sounds,so it prioritize the ally/enemy sounds,to give you a better coordination with your sorroundings may be(just a personal explanation I gived to my self).

Anyway,even people with bows,pistols,or any kind of legendary will experience the same problem in zergs fights,their weapons will mute sometimes.It’s just a big scale fight problem.

Ok, thanks for the explanation. So it an issue similar to when the system hides the miniatures i.e. during Karka in order to sustain a good performance.
Of course I’d prefer that the sounds where played for me normally and be muted for other players, I dont have any attitude to annoy other players with my sounds! :P
