Guild Wars 2

Suggestion:

Can the sound effects caused by The Dreamer (that very high-pitched screech) be turned down somehow without turning down every effect?

I don’t own a Dreamer, but I find it very obnoxious when anyone who does have one is near me.

I don’t want to have to lose out on enjoying so many other effects because that one drives me bonkers – it is so very immersion breaking, annoying, and just takes away from the experience of everything else going on when there’s a Dreamer around…it’s seriously the most annoying video game sound effect I’ve ever experienced…and that’s considering I’ve been subjected to endless hours of kids on an NES…it’s that obnoxious

I don’t want to be a Debbie Downer…not trying to complain or gripe too much…I generally want to enjoy the game…just please…that sound is…yea

Can that particular sound be given its own volume slider, or mute button, or added to the “Player Instrument Volume” volume slider?

This is much asked for, please revert the sound of the dreamer to how it was. It really is now an obnoxious weapon to use. A tad embarrassing too with other people around.

Leave my neighing uniponies be. I like the sound. If something is going to be changed, let’s do something about the orange and green polyluminescent upgrades which annoy me terribly on other people’s characters and I can’t reduce the brightness on my monitor because I want to see the other colors I like…

This kind of personal preference nerf request annoys me greatly. The Dreamer sound is less noticeable than the Predator – I have both, and raid in wvw and pve with people that have both. It is hard to see where one would be objectively worse than the other, and subjectively IMO, neither is subjectively worse and both are subjectively worse than Quip, which I dislike.

Well how about making it so only the person wielding the Dreamer can hear the screeching? That way they can enjoy it without bothering anyone else with it

Anyway, the point would be to give people a way to choose whether or not to hear it without having to turn down every other sound. Not trying to take it away, just want a way to avoid it if I want.

Just add a slider for weapon sound effect volume, problem fixed.

I wield it and I don’t want to hear it!

It’s a shame that ANet spend effort on something that NOBODY asked for and ignore everyone when we complain that they did a bad thing.

And they won’t even have the decency to respond to this.

I have no idea why is does this, but when im by myself or with only a couple ppl, I hear it (im the wielder) when theres more ppl around, I don’t hear it at all.
I do agree though, it is annoying. , but I rarely hear anyone say anything about it so I don’t really worry about it.
