Guild Wars 2

I have brought this up again and again..but ANet does not seem to care. If the combat sounds in the game were revamped I would love to come back to the game.

Please address this ArenaNet..

I’ve read a post by Anet somewhere that they’ve promised 2014 to be a Year where they would focus a lot on the Audio aspect of the game. However, no confirmation has been noted for any upcoming changes. I am very concerned with this issue, it is one of the major reasons why I don’t like to play any class other than Elementalist, they have the most colorful SFX imo.

I am in the exact same boat as you. The reason why my main is an Elementalist is exactly the same as yours. Although Engineer is not too bad since rifle/pistol sounds are okay, I just really can’t stand how weak and unsatisfying melee weapons sound upon hitting an enemy. I have many friends who agree they’d definitely give GW2 another shot if this combat SFX was overhauled.

This needs more attention.

I completely agree. ArenaNet should really address this; it’s something that has bothered me since the very beginning. Slashing and impact noises need more “oomph” and a satisfactory feel, they have always felt dull and sounded disappointing to me.
