Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!
I wanted to pose a question, as I’m not convinced if I’m hallucinating or not. I’ve been rolling my Rev since I bought HoT, but at some point of leveling I stopped. When I returned to rev few days ago I noticed strange and sad thing: mist legend do not talk to me anymore!
I remember that back then, everytime you invoked one, he had some comment for you, like “I demand that you release me” in case of shiro. Now Mallyx doesn’t say anything, and Shiro says one line like in an hour. I also remember when I’ve read about Revenant proffession, that legends were to talk to character from time to time.
Here is my question: why ANet muted the revenant legends? Why this cool feature is so greatly reduced? And I have to underline, I haven’t selected this new option to mute ‘player instrument’ or whatever is this called. Or maybe revenant’s legends still have their comments, but I’m just unlucky with RNG or something that generates this utterances?

Go to options ~> sounds ~> check if “Mute player chatter” is on. This option mutes things like shouts, chatter when you receive boons and maybe the legend swap

I know about that option, and checked if this is off, and indeed, off it is. I think that developers just listened to the hardcore players which don’t care about aesthetical values of a game – there was some crying from their side about “too much noises during playing”. I think that due to that they reduced the ammount of legend’s utterances. It’s a pity that players that enjoyed this feature cannot enjoy it anymore – especially now, when there is an option to ‘mute player chatter’… Or maybe I’m really out of luck with this stuff

Ah too bad man. Thats all the suggestions I had I will check when I’m home if I can get them to make a sound. Could be an Error in your cliënt then. If it isn’t, youre right.

Edit: I just got home and checked. The real dialogue is indeed gone. I can only hear some ‘moaning’ on swapping legends (Hearing a dark demon moan when swapping to malyx for example). But thats all

Yep I can’t remember the last time I heard a legend speak.

Do you have instruments muted? I thought legends dialog was on the same channel as that.

As hearing is my favorite sense, I keep everything up, except for UI sounds (which are also just a little down, but not off completely). It seems that it has been deleted. Sad, because it was a really great idea, and helped me with ‘feeling’ this character. And getting to know the legends from the past was also super cool

Works for me. You have to remember that legend dialogues were always rare af. They completely dont hold to what was said in the blog. Once in a blue moon youll get a dialogue but dont count for anything else.

The idea discussed in early dev comments about the legends just starting up conversations with your character randomly while just walking around was entirely dropped. Sadly. It sounded like an interesting mechanic.

There are 3 specific things that trigger legend speeches. Healing skills, elite skills, and legend swapping. Though I think some legends don’t have dialogue for some of those either (like, I don’t think Ventari has one for the heal skill). And yes, they’re very rare, its not uncommon for me to go a whole play session without hearing any of the legend dialogues. More often you just get the grunts and yells or nothing at all. But if you’re specifically looking to hear them, you can sit around spamming those 3 things and pray to RNGesus.

Thank you all for your answers. I’ve played Rev for a while and indeed – the dialogues are still present, but to a lesser degree than before. But now I find it even more entertaining – not knowing when the dialogue will occur is very nice
Sorry for creating a little bit of a mess, and thank you all again!
