Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys. I don’t know what kind of sound option you tend to play with, but I play without it. I play without sound because I feel like it interupts my gameplay. However, fighting on khylo, sometimes has it disadvantages, or when a thief dies in stealth and me not being able to hear his “shout for assistance” so I know he’s dead, so it becomes a guessing game (on khylo I count, or simply look slightly up.. yes I know, that’s weird). For me it, it’s never been a big issue, but it is a disadvantage. I tend to fire field in the area I believe the thief has died.

Anyways.. I want to play with sound, but I try to minimize it, just the dialog, which is, imo, the only thing needed. I look very closely on the characters I play against, and effect sounds wont change the way I play.

I tried out the dialog only option, but playing a warrior, the character talks whenever his adreneline goes 1 bar up, which is like ALL the time, and annoying, frustrating etc.. In other words, it distracts my gameplay.

Would it be too much to be able to control the dialog, or simply make an option which only focused on needed dialog such as downstate?

I know I am a bit alone when talking this subject, but to reach a meta level of PvP-settings, I guess it’s not too much to ask? Too much dialog ruins the important dialog.

I’m actually the complete opposite. I play with all sound effects on except for dialogue. I turn the dialogue volume off, which removes the annoying announcer’s voice. I don’t need the announcer to remind me every single time a point is decapped or capped; I have enough map awareness to see what’s going on without that distracting voice blurting a phrase every 5 seconds.

Sound effects are important because many skills have audio tells. I don’t care about the sounds of my own character; it’s more about the sounds coming from my opponents and allies. I can hear when a necro is casting their important signets. I can hear when a mesmer fires a stun, or is casting moa. I can hear when an opponent goes in a blocking stance. I can hear when an engi fires their immobilizing net, which lets me know when to dodge, etc.

So that’s why you never kill the enemy treb. Great now I know.

Why don’t you just go power necro and kill it for me, bruv.
