Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else warhorn sound effect sound like a massive fart being released after patch today? Locust swarm

lol they added a fart noise to both skills.

I get what they were going for with this sound but I don’t think it really worked…

Well necros farting locusts was not the direction I though Anet would go

Every time I use it I feel like telling the people around me “Excuse me.”

Please revert please, previous warhorn sounds were better.

All warhorns have this new sound. Not just necro. Its probably a bug. I hope it is at least.

Isn’t it interesting to see the kind of stuff the devs are working on? I mean, it’s not like there are any more bugs and all to fix…

I would just like an insight into the process where someone said “Warhorn sounds. Yeah, that really needs to be changed on a priority!”

I hope this was a tempest thing and necro and others got dragged into it.

This is so bad…

I never knew there was a warhorn sound. When should I be hearing it?

It’s different for different people. Lots of people hear it in the mornings – but of course YMMV.

Honestly, if they upped the volume I think this would make more sense for locust swarm. Very low kind of humming sound. Wail of doom should definitely be reverted though.

If they are going to stick with this sound effect at least have the necro warhorn skills inflict poison gas. I just played it for my fiance and said “you gotta here this!”. She left the room giggling so it’s not just me lol

Apparently Everyone is saying the same thing. Farting necros ftw? I don’t think theyll stick with this sound for long. The people have spoken!!

Axe animation….and good lord this thing makes me wanna stop using my shadow war horn!

I like the basic concept of a lower, deeper warhorn sound effect. For certain classes, anyway. I feel Ranger and probably Warrior should keep the old effects, while Necro gets the deeper one and Elementalist has one that falls somewhere in between (or better yet for Ele, custom sounds that match the element, so fire would have a hissing sound, air would sound like the wind, ect).

But a definite swing and a miss on the execution. The fart…. ‘nuff said. It doesn’t even make sense for a warhorn, a warhorn wouldn’t make a “buzzing” noise like that. It should just be a low, deep horn tone. Probably not even quite as low toned as what they’ve done here, since that’s more a tone you’d hear out of a larger brass instrument. Somewhere in between the new version and the old and minus the fart / buzz would be nice.

New sounds are hilarious, keep them

Please, please revert to the earlier warhorn sounds. Being grouped up this morning was embarrassing everytime I used a warhorn skill (“Excuse me. Excuse me. Sorry, blame ANET. Excuse me…”).

It was a running gag in my little group of friends that Locust Swarm sounded like a fart.

I used to make it a point to brush it off by reminding them that my warhorn is infested with bugs.

Now I can’t hide my flatulence. I am Roland the Farter, Flatulist to the King.

First axe and now this …. UGH I hate it so much.
The sound is completely underwhelming.
The kittenty fart jokes it provides don’t amause me enough to get over it xD …

I think (and hope) that’s an unwanted sound issue XD
