Guild Wars 2

My charr is a warrior. Since the patch, whenever I jump, when I land I hear a clanging noise.

Ditto, ever since last night’s update. It’s annoying and seems to ignore other sound volume settings.

I’m having this issue too, just sounds horrible, to the point I just play with sound off at moment. Yes this definitely started after the patch but i didnt notice it until after a couple of Armor transmutions, so not sure if the new transmute change in the update has caused this.

I posted this issue in the Audio section to see if anyone else was having this problem.

My Charr goes RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH like he’s falling to his death every other time I jump. Has done it since launch lol.

this is a completely different issue from what people are trying to bring to the dev’s attention, so not helpful.

Bit more info for Dev’s
Have spoke to several other players and it seems this audio problem is effecting Guardians and Warriors (all heavy armor wearers) since the patch.
All that i have spoke to have transmuted armor since patch too so don’t know if thats linked.
There is a temporary solution another player mentioned in the link i provided to the Audio thread where unequipping armor and re-equipping seems to sort the audio glitch out until you map to another area, then the glitchy sound comes back.

But this is an annoying glitch and has changed the feel of the game itself. Nowi just dont bother playing with sound on at all so it takes a lot of the game out for me.

I’m not sure if that’s the same bug, but it’s definitely just as annoying.

My asuran engineer sounds like a heavy boulder falling on the ground when she’s jumping. Maybe it’s one of equipment sounds, but I’m not sure. I have almost full CoF set and pants transmuted like 2 weeks ago

I’m jumping around like several tin cans clanking together, quite funny, at first, now, a little boring.

More fixes to fix the fixes of the fix need fixing.

On a lower level heavy character, I hear the mail chains when landing.
On a higher level heavy character, I hear the plating jostling a bit when landing.

Neither of these sounds is louder than other sound effects or jarring. Taking off armor and re-equipping didn’t stop this sound from occurring. Where is the bug / how can I reproduce?

I dont know how you can replicate this.
My armor hasn’t changed at all. I logged in after the 10/1 bug fix update, and the sound went from a nice plating jostling when landing as you put it, to a clunking of 2 old tin pots but it doesnt even sound right and slightly annoying, and it defintitely not the sound I was getting previously to the patch.

I do know different armor have a slight different sound, but as I said, i did nothing different, its all transmuted heritage armor which were done pre-patch. My armor wasn’t touched at all. One day it sounded one way, logged back in next day after patch and it sounds completely different, highly noticeable and horrible.

It’s such an unpleasant sound i thought my sound card or speakers packed in, but no, everything else played through card and speaker sounds like it should and I even tried different soundcard and speakers.

It may be an intentional sound, but because my armor hasnt changed prior to patch or after patch, and the fact its just an unpleasant sound, I can’t see it being their on purpose.

Still having this issue. Devs, please notice. It’s incredibly annoying.
