Silent PvP is weird

bitaken

Literally like freaking me out when all goes silent and all I hear is our TS convo.

spooky.

Zheg

Seconded. It also makes reacting to meteors/siege/burst that much harder, particularly when the damage numbers are ramped up so high.

In Cryodiil Lag, no one can hear you scream...

Durham

No sound, tons of lag, broke abilities, unbalanced..
Lag Lag Lag Lag Lag
tonight it was a unplayable pile of crap....

Kaeriz

Maybe they could add intertitles just like in silent movies

It really is strange. Had 1,000 smurfs coming at us at Aleswell farm last night and you could here a pin drop.

Hi all,

We're trying to track this down and there are some bits of information you could provide that would help us get this addressed faster!

1) Video captures of this occurring (ideally no non-ESO game sounds present in the video. This is by far the MOST valuable thing we can get from you guys now!)
2) Which client you were using
3) Did you feel like your characters's sounds were missing? Other player's sounds? Both?
4) Do UI sounds and music still play properly when experiencing this?

ESO PvP be like:

No sound plays when it happens. I've had it happen a lot on the 64 bit client. Can't speak to the 32 bit one.

Also, your comment did not create a little ZoS symbol on the forum page. Odd..

They should've left that one to Simon and Garfunkel

Happens on 32 bit aswell. This bug has been there before, I'm amazed ZOS managed to bring it back.

Client 64
It happens during every big fight or when not-so-big fights are reaching peaks of intensity.
Sounds stop totally, everything goes silent, including own character. No effects, no ambient sounds, no voices. Rarelly music still playing in background.

Everything turn back to normal again when the battle ends.

For me it was during a big battle at Chal, sounds of the battle went completely silent. My health bar UI also broke after being resurrected, stuck at what looked like 1 hit point. For a while it felt like one of those war films where after a bug explosion the sound is muted to simulate the temporary lost of hearing for the character in a tense moment.

Sound returned shortly after the battle. Though there were some odd sound artifacts, weird squeaks here and there. Even before all that, shifting menus sounds like a rusted sliding door.

I'm on the 64 bit client.

DHale

64 bit
No sounds at all
TS works fine I hear them
Nothing form the game.

Sallington

Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited - Thieves Guild (Return of Old Spaghetti)

32 and 64 bit
No sound at all from the game client
Random sounds play randomly
99% of the time occurs during heavy action/lag

@DHale @Sallington

Thanks for the information. We appreciate it!

2) Which client you were using- 64-bit

3) Did you feel like your characters's sounds were missing? Other player's sounds? Both? All game sounds. Ambient, music, sound effects, total silence

4) Do UI sounds and music still play properly when experiencing this? No. VoIP, or any sounds outside of the game work. Just nothing within the game.

You know what other bug has returned? I had forgotten ALL about it. Pigpen is back...

When a DK casts that ashen cloud buff and it NEVER goes away and you have to go from keep to keep to resource with a swirling cloud of ashes making you look like pigpen from Peanuts...

That brought back some memories..

Between these and Health De-syncs - on the 64 and 32 Bit Client - lag in both clients being not a whole lot better than a year ago when I left.... I feel like I came back to TESO just soon enough for me to leave it because it has not improved at all.

Shhhh.... Can you hear that??? That's ESO slowly dying out after this horrible DLC.
