Guild Wars 2

Could we please get a separate audio channel in the game’s options to regulate the volume of weapons’ special effects? (Yes, that mainly goes for legendaries, as I can’t think of other skins that have special audio effects.) It is currently tied to “Effects Volume”.

For instance, I can’t stand the constant crackling of Bolt. (I just finished the legendary, and the YouTube videos I had watched didn’t make it stand out like that, i.e. that the crackling is a continuous sound as opposed to only playing when drawn.) It is majorly distracting und unpleasant, and I am considering using a transmutation charge only so I won’t have to hear it anymore.

Another good (and majorly annoying) example is the constant neighing of The Dreamer everytime a shot is fired. I don’t own that one (and never will, mind you), but have a guild mate who uses it during our raids — yikes!

If it’s possible, please add the option. You would immensely enhance my GW2 gaming experience.

P.S. I have tried adjusting the volume by using the effects channel, but that just doesn’t suffice as it affects all effects’ volume.

Many, MANY of us have been asking for something like this for a long time. They have said that they are looking into some different options for dealing with this, such as a button to allow players to disable the sounds, but we haven’t heard anything concrete regarding a plan as of yet, to my knowledge.

I still pray for the day that I don’t have to listen to The Dreamer, aka. Trollbow.

Oh well, thanks for the info. That’s a bummer. I do hope there will be something done soon. (A sound deactivation option for those weapons would be great.)

I’ve already transmuted Bolt into Whisperblade — ahh, the silence, sooooo nice.
