Guild Wars 2

Lately I’ve been finding that certain PS cutscenes and LS instances have areas where some dialogue is muted, such as the Greatest Fear chapter with Tonn, and instances from Dragon’s Reach Part 1. And just now, I found another bit of muted dialogue during Forewarned is Forearmed cutscene.

EDIT: Add some screencaps from Battle of Claw Island

I too have noticed the same thing lately. I have no pictures or particular references. I’ll make a note as I continue the personal story of my latest character and add them here.

Two screen grabs from after first claw Island battle

One during Defense Contract.

Make sure to include a screen grab for the Devs. They told me it’ll help them.

3 screen grabs from Under Siege cutscenes

I’ve been getting this tonight on my lvl 30 storyline. Here are a couple I’ve found, will edit in more as I see them. I missed a few already, but it’s basically been the first line of every scene so far.

Missing V/Overs are happening across the board. Just done numerous missions in Orr and every one of them had V/Overs missing at some point. It often happens when the cut scene dialogues first begins, but can happen any time. At first it appeared only the NPC’s V/Overs were missing, but then some happened with my character silent as well.

Did the Sentient Races mission on another character, choosing Haylek and V/Overs were missing in that mission too. This one was particularly bad. The sun champion segment i did hardly any V/Overs at all, including from my character.

Sorry, didn’t think screenshots would be of any use and didn’t take any, but I think the entire PS and Living story needs to be reviewed. Which reminds me, LS is also missing V/Overs as i’ve done quite a few lately, at least the final chapters. Don’t know about the earlier ones, but it seems other people above have found those have problems as well.

I have actually reported it several times before. Almora and Warmaster seem to have a lot of cutscenes either completely muted, or only few sentences in that cut scene actually have a sound.
For my mesmer human it has been happening ever since I started joining Vigil. So far still present and it’s been few instances I have been in.

Bump

I know it’s just the beta, but I believe it’s worth mentioning this bit from the demo

Yes, I’ve been getting this too. I first noticed it on Monday last (3rd August), when I did a number of PS episodes with a group of friends. Typically what is missing seems to be the first section of speech by a particular NPC when a cut scene changes to them (Almorra in particular seems prone to it). We were on voice at the time and discussing it, so I can confirm that all of us were having the same problem, and that it appeared to be the same sections of speech that we were missing.

Getting this as well, at least once per cutscene, sometimes 2-3 times. Makes me want to delay doing my PS on this new Sylvari character (came back for HoT) until it’s fixed. Tried changing various audio settings, even did a full-reinstall of the game in case it was a corrupted sound file, no change.

Hopefully we’ll get an official acknowledgement of the issue soon, though looking back I see threads about this issue stretching back two years, so I’m not sure if it’s a bug that keeps coming back, or one that’s never been fixed.
