A few months ago, I started thinking about crafting the Dreamer. The more I looked at it, the more I wanted to own it, so I decided to craft one. I absolutely love the effects and the aura; I don’t regret crafting this legy! :)

The first time I did some auto-attacks, I was bummed: I didn’t hear any neighing. While I did see all of its effects, the fact that I couldn’t hear the sound of it (but my friends could), was actually making me kind of sad. It just didn’t feel like I completed the legy… if that makes sense?

I personally only hear it if my FPS is higher than ~50 (which it rarely is) and it makes me a little happier every time I hear neighing.
(it would be awesome if sounds weren’t bound to FPS (if they are now?))

The sound of a weapon is definitely a reason to craft or buy said weapon. And removing something significant like that afterwards doesn’t feel right (or fair) at all.

Now, I do understand if people say they hate the sounds of some weapons. I myself don’t like the sounds of C&C, but it’s a part of that short bow so I’m fine with it if people own it. It’s small things like these that make the world a little more unique.

You can’t make everyone happy, that’s why I believe the following points would be the best solutions for this situation:

1.) A player only hears the weapon sounds of his own weapons.

2.) Everyone gets the option in their settings to disable weapon sounds alltogether.
