Q u o t e:


Those are the people I love to murder in PvP because they don't realize my rogue is nearby.

Granted, I'm pretty hard to detect in the first place, but you're sure as hell not going to notice me until it's too late if you have your sound off.
When I pvp, you can damn well be assured I got the sound up just for this. My main is a mage. I am paranoid beyond belief and I got you rogues to thank for it. D:

<3



Also, I had no idea what the hell that sound was. At first I thought it was the debuff sound for FCs in WSG. Knowing there is a priest nearby can be kinda useful... IF the sound didnt travel the entire zone. Combine that with my paranoia over stealthers and I don't need coffee anymore for late nights! =/

Icy Veins though. That is a good sound. Thanks!

You know it will happen, DKs will be everywhere. You won't be able to swing a dead rat around by the tail without hitting a DK when the expansion comes out.

Q u o t e:


Why wouldn't I support aspects of the game I enjoy? That doesn't make any sense. This isn't about defending anything, it's more about talking about the aspects we enjoy and sharing them with the community. In many cases, there are others that share our viewpoints and experience.

I've said in the past I've used no mods for raiding for a time and I have also used mods both. I even stated the reasons that I have done this in the past. It's easier to find out more about what things are thought of as necessary, but aren't, or things that perhaps we need to look into more to improve the game.


Neth, I have found a problem in someone using the skill. Regardless of the distance you are from the priest using it, the sound is still as loud (and abrasive :S) as it would be standing right on them. I think there is something wrong with that, as other sounds obviously get louder when you are closer , and quieter when further away.


On top of that, it's not a pleasant sound either and after using that a bunch of times, it really wants me to turn off my sound which can be detrimental, as I'll miss things I need sound for, such as mobs beating the crap out of me.

Please change it back, it was perfectly fine before. You give those boys in development a 'If it ain't broke, dont fix it' from me :)

Q u o t e:


If you are experiencing a bug in the game, please post it on the Bug forum or report it in game to a GM.


Oh, it's not a bug. 2.4 seems to have added new sound effects to a pile of spells, the sound effects are just jarring and somewhat terrible, case in point the horrible grinding noise that comes with Soulwell now.

The next time a warlock pops out a Ritual of Souls / Soulwell for you, stand next to it with your sound up, please. The sound effect is very reminiscent of grinding metal, it took me a while to figure out that it was the soulwell making that horrible racket, simply because it seemed so completely incongruous.
Not that I have a clue what a stone pedestal full of souls should sound like, but the current effect seems related to an auto shop.

Actually, it sounds like a steam pipe.

Either way, it's such a horrible cacophony having multiple wells up at a time I don't want to give Healthstones out any more.

I guess I'm one of the few that like the new one. I'm kind of indifferent I like them both

I have confirmation that the sound change for PW: Shield is in fact a bug and will be fixed in an upcoming patch.

While you're at it, tell the developers to revert the sound change to Whirlwind. It sounds gay now.

Q u o t e:
I was referring to the statement that you could hear it anywhere within the zone if it's cast.

I'm looking into any other information on this.


I did hear a PW: Shield go off while leveling an alt the other day... and there was no priest in sight. I'll pay more attention to it next time =).

Also- there's a bug with the "new" sound that PW: Shield has.

To reproduce: Shield yourself. Wait 15 seconds for "Weakened Soul" to wear off. Shield yourself again before first shield falls off. Bingo, you hear the old PW: Shield sound instead of the, horrible, new one. Haven't read through this entire thread so I'm not sure if this has already been mentioned.

-Edit- <3! So happy that it's a bug and not a "feature" =P.

Oh that's what that is! Thanks for clearing that up.
And yes, it's quite annoying because I can be quite far from the caster and hear the sound. This has left me turning around in a quick circle more than once going..what was that?
