I really like PvE and WvW isn’t bad either but I just can’t get into sPvP. I’m not sure why but as soon as I hear that half wit sailor voice announcing sPvP it doesn’t feel like “game on” anymore, and overall ruins the experience for me. Now I know some people actually like it ( I think ), But why not have some different announcer voices? You can even sell them on the Gem Store. ( please no more Unreal Tournament announcer/ lines ).

Do you guys think this should be done? It would increase the merchandise for sPvP’s.

eh i just realized.

our current sPVP announcer is duke nukem! O_O

source:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Structured_PvP#Trivia
“The announcer voice is Jon St. John.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_St._John
“He is probably best known for being the voice of Duke Nukem in the Duke Nukem video game series from 1996 onwards,”

Voiceovers
Duke Nukem Forever – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem Advance – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem: Zero Hour – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes – Duke Nukem, Silverback, additional voices
Duke Nukem: Time to Kill – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem 64 – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown – Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem 3D – Duke Nukem
Guild Wars 2 – PVP Narrator, Knut Whitebear

by the way, i think our current sPvP announcer voice pack is … very limited. O_O

I don’t like him. Might work in games like Skyrim (since it’s based around barbarian stories) but is simply too primitive for Guild Wars 2

I love Caithe’s voice. Would definitely buy on Gem Store if she can voice for PvP

You know, I actually made the same thread several times in 2013, but never got much attention from the devs; hopefully in 2014 they would read this one

I have yet to understand your question, though? What do you mean by “limited pvp announces”?

aye, hopefully we can see some changes regarding the pvp announcer.

well,
“your base is under attack”
“your lord is under attack”
“you have lost the graveyard”
“you have lost the keep”
“incoming!”
“chieftain returned”
“svanier returned”
“ferocity blah blah blah”
“stilness blah blah blah”
“tranqulity blah blah blah”
“skyhammer blah blah blah”
etc

other wise, most of the time it is pretty quiet.

why no “first blood!” ?
“double kill!”
“triple kill!”
etc

“DENIED!” (saved a team mate from being stomped)
etc

or errr … what was i gonna say?
ok i remembered !!!

“RAGEEEEEE QUIT!” disconnected immediately after defeated.

“WELCOME BACK!” disconnected player returns

Yes, I think this is definitely an area that could use some improvement. Overall, I’d rather have either the over the top, Unreal Tournament kind of announcer, or something way more subtle such as Caithe of Zojia. Now it’s kind of meh, I’d definitely spend gems for a different announcer.

I see
well~
considering situations like “your lord is under attack”
“you have lost the graveyard”
“you have lost the keep” affect the whole team that’s where the announcer comes in

as for your “DENIED!”. Hmm, rallying other players or scoring a kill happen a bit too often to have a PvP announcer voice there (you see, it is why they lowered the frequency of “Yer Lord is under addack~~~”). If you do it gets…really annoying XD

we could use more announcement!

Thirty seconds to battle.
Ten seconds to battle.
Prepare for battle.
The battle begins!

^ i know we have something similar, like “last chance blah blah blah” i can’t remember it.

Kills
First blood!
Double kill!
Triple kill!
Ultra kill!
Rampage!
Killing spree!
Dominating!
Mega kill!
Unstoppable!
Wicked sick!
Monster kill!
Godlike!
Holy kitten!
Ownage!

^ this one i think hard to implement, since we have downed system etc.

hmmm after going through the dota 2 announcer responses, i think … we are just missing the kill count annoucements.

Hmm.

My thoughts are more on implementing new voices for existing lines first, though. You know it would still stink even worse if dat Jon guy continues to do the kill count voices, right?

Besides, since ArenaNet is all about ART (even balancing eles) I doubt devs would just do a Dota-ripoff (I mean, c’mon those lines ARE from a Wacraft III map XDD)

I really like the announcer pack idea

They need more announcement like kill announcements
these doesn’t seems original but i want to hear it when i kill someone
“An enemy has been slain”
“An ally has been slain”
“First Blood”
“Double KIll”
“Triple Kill”
“Quadra KIll”
“Penta Kill”
“Killing Spree”
“Dominating”
“Rampage”
“Godlike”
“Exotic”
“LEGENDARY”
“Shut Down” (when you where killed many ppl for a long time without being killed but suddenly killed now)
“Denied” interrupting stomps
“Revived” team mate revived
“Executed” killed by mobs like svanir or chief
“Defeat”
“Victory”

I would be really exciting to play pvp if we have that. Also they need like 3 or more different tone of 1 announcement to make it not annoying if we hear it more than once like “Your Lord is blah blah blah” i find it really annoying.

PS: Female Announcer pack please!!!

Well, it’s just the voice from another game.XD

However, I think that the announcer is one of the reason why pvp seems more like a minigame than part of the world.

From what I’ve got, spvp is set on the mists. Players go there as some sort of pioneers, and are pitted against each other by spirits for amusement.

What if players were described as mercenaries fighting for groups trying to get hold of the mists?

This way, we might add an announcer that sounds more like a guy giving directions to the team.

I dont think we are pitted against each other for amusement…this is not Heroes of the Storm. But yes, players are the vanguards in the Mists, so it would seem

do you see the banners of Red Team and Blue Team? They have stories, you know

The current announcer, though, is a pirate. What doesn’t make sense is that people like US LISTEN TO HIM

WHY???

Announcer voice Pack is the only way to bring justice to this

Make a Zojja one that calls the other team “cowards” all the time (e.g.: The cowards have taken your point!), make it a permanent account unlock, and I may consider it.
