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.

please consider bastion as PvP announcer.
i’m sure it will be a nice gem store PvP announcer upgrade pack.

scarlet (tara strong) sPvP announcer pack
zodja (felicia day) sPvP announcer pack

by the way, i think our current sPvP announcer voice pack is … very limited. O_O
Nothing beats UT2004 announcer sounds in my opinion. Video link for reference.
An option to use the old Beta announcer lines would be nice too.
HOLD ON TO YOUR POINTS, SEIZE THEIRS. DO I HAVE TO DRAW YOU A PICTURE?!
YOU COULDN’T KEEP THE KEEP!
.. Duke Nukem ?!
Ah no, no more UT related announcers lol… Especially UT2004’s “labelled Sexy voice” ….. creeps me out tbh.

yeah, those are much better. >.<
why they change it to what we have now? 
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

Or, if the Announcer needs to be manly~~Logan Thackery
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Troy_Baker
yes! more voice packs please!
caithe (kari wahlgren) sPvP announcer pack
logan thackery (troy baker) sPvP announcer pack
but …. the types of pvp announces is kinda limited right?
somehow i can’t find a wiki list of the announcer dialog of guild wars 2 sPvP O_O

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
(edited by Deimos Tel Arin.7391)
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
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Announcer_responses
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.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tara_Strong
Scarlet Briar
NOOoooooow imagine~~
“Your Lord is dead ahhhhhhohoahuhahahahahahahha~!”
“The Waterfall is yoooooursss ahhhuhuuhuhhhhhuhuhuahahahahaha~!”
“Your team is victoriiiahahahahahahahahahah-rous~”
http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Announcer_responses

~
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.
Please bring back his old quotes. Those were way more engaging and some were quite humorous aswell.
The opening for epic rap battles should be used for blue team Vs. Red team announcement.
With this voice, right?

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
please consider bastion as PvP announcer.
i’m sure it will be a nice gem store PvP announcer upgrade pack.for reference:

Never fear Deimos is here! back to spam, hes the mannnnn, to cover your forum questions againnnnn!
add the pack with sexy (asian) female announcer voice…. i bet ppl will buy it haha
please make it happen anet,
ANET PLEASE.
now imagine
scarlet (tara strong) sPvP announcer pack
This I would pay for!
ah, my nightmarish realization is coming true… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dWPPgHj8rM was “THE” voice that was so utterly disturbing that makes making continuous headshots regrettable at the time. .. * gawd that “monster kill”*
Something like this, pretty please
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.
eh, nemesis is good!
imagine someone on the other team kept on killing you.
is it possible to implement nemesis?
An option to use the old Beta announcer lines would be nice too.
HOLD ON TO YOUR POINTS, SEIZE THEIRS. DO I HAVE TO DRAW YOU A PICTURE?!
YOU COULDN’T KEEP THE KEEP!
YOU HAVE THE KEEP, NOW KEEP IT!!
Gotta say though I’d love an announcer pack, I’d buy a scarlet one if they did it, or a Kudu one!! Preferably Kudu one!
We gonna keep this keep for if we can bump the bumps ANet drops by the drop may as well take the note and write this up when patching the next patch
They should add skritt and quaggan voices too, for a wide variety of voices. Some Rytlock voices would be nice too.
Rytlock’s voice? Hmm~
“Keep that Clocktower or I’ll have you split in half!”
“They have the Clocktower. Useless, all of you!”
