Guild Wars 2

New daily system is worse than previous system (some of them are utter garbage [keg brawl, really?], some of them are outright annoying) due to not enough choice, guild missions are too expensive, class balance is okay, dungeons meh, ascended buffs/additions are complete crap.

tl;dr: no, anet, no.

Has this happened to anyone more recently? I turned my sound quality to lowest/fastest, wondering if it’s safe to go back yet. :p

Try spamming cluster bomb while circle-strafing around a pack of mobs, it’s teh lols.

I also really wish they would just add free camera.

I guess they’re aware of the issue.
For anyone too lazy to read that thread, this is the alarm sound:

Hope they can fix it soon.

Are you referring to VOIP ducking?
Changing its setting directly affects sound-volume, so that doesn’t appear to be an option…

…all it does for me is not make my soundcard crash out. I see no change in audio volume.

If I turn it off, all audio goes with it. Dunno why it would, or why there’s VOIP ducking when there doesn’t seem to be built-in VOIP (yet?), but there you go.

Ever so often my (and other peoples’) sound crashes, omitting all ingame sound (effects, music, environmental, etc) and sounding a really unpleasant alarm.

This seems to happen in overly crowded areas exclusively, such as WvW castle sieges and large-scale group-events in PvE. It would also appear that this problem is not hardware specific; I play with a group of friends with different hardware set-ups and several of us encountered this issue. Soundcard or not didn’t seem to matter, however increasing the audio-buffer-size has made it occur less often for me and yielded “better” results for others (their game would crash, but since increasing buffer-size, only the sound crashes). It’s definitely not a heat-issue, I checked and re-checked several times.

If anyone has any solutions, please let me know.
Sorry if this is a known issue, search didn’t seem to be working.
