Guild Wars 2

Not to Slander Lex Lang, but it is Just not the Same, and every time my Charr opens his Mouth now i don’t feel like “Me” Anymore.

as a “I have only male Charr” kind of player the voice change hits me like a mist-cooled tripartate thautmatium energy weapon with a lead tracer array set for draconic energy.

and the fact that Emotes are still Voiced by Ron Yuan triggers a small Bloodstone OCD Explosion every time i start Season 3 Now :I

Lex Lang did good in trying to make his lines sound like Ron Yuan, but I agree that the new Charr Male sounds awfully… cultured? Very smooth and dignified in comparison to the always half-aggressive tone that Ron used.

I’ll no doubt get used to it in time, but yeah, the shift between dialogue and random emotes and combat barks is quite disconcerting.

Cultured, smooth, like a merchant or Whispers operative. It’s definitely not the same Pact commander for me anymore. Especially since he seems adamant on immitating Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and keeps swapping voices around between lines. It’s nothing against Lex Lang, but I don’t think I’ll ever stop wanting Ron Yuan back.

But eh, who cares, we’re just charr. They never fix our tails or legendaries, why would anyone care when we protest what we now sound like.

Soundmixing absolutely needs to get better with the voice though. Throughout just the first instance, the voice mutated through about four different versions and it was horrible to listen to – sometimes it was fine, but holy maccarones, sometimes my main sounded like a kitten Nuhoch because the sound editing leaned a bit too far on the “deep and bubbly”.

But yeah, it makes me fondly remember the days of former Living Stories, where all your dialogue was text. -.-

i know right ? , it feels like he Bounces all over the Place , it lacks consistency..

as for fixing stuff , dont get me started … My teeth hang 45° Pointing down mid air under my upper lip, just floating around… , my Chest armor creates texture less blank sleeves on my forearms. my pants open up wide enough to pull my butt through said hole..

anyway !… someone Grab Yon and tie him onto a Sound both , the Legions Need him !

Okay, to reasess my original thoughts on the new voice: while first episode was sound-mix inconsistent, I thought it would be something that improves, and that I may be a bit biased because I’m simply used to the old voice. But no. The second chapter is just straight out bad. It maybe because some of the most un-charr sentences my charr has been forced to say, or if you focused so much on the tone that you got way off your rocker, but it just sounds fake, stilted, dishonest. Acted. And that’s never a good thing with any acting :/
