Who approved the "wwhhoossshhh" music when combat ends?

Seriously, this sounds awful and is distracting. Why was this even added? Is there an addon to disable combat music?

    No but if it really bothers you that much all you can do is turn off the music. And if you really want some TES music playing in the background just load up the soundtrack in whatever music player you use.

    Not a logical alternative. I stopped playing because of this, so lame.

    The ending drums when combat ends is kind of distracting, especially as it ends so quickly. By the time you kill one mob, and get to the next, combat music ends and you hear that "Dum-dum-da-dum..." drum roll. It's particularly frustrating in delves where you can burn through mobs quickly, with combat music start/stopping almost instantly.

    The regular combat music seems to have been improved, but that "dum-dum-da-dum" part seems a bit overbearing.

    A leaf fell from a tree! ''I uninstalled its so annoying'', a turtle made me trip ''I uninstalled'', i can't find a quest location ''Screw this game it sucks''. Haters always find the smallest stupidest reason to not play and then come in the forums crying and whining instead of moving on, then they go to other MMO forums and spew lies and negativity about the game because they are so freaking hateful they enjoy going with the mainstream and hate what they hate.

    I am surprised THAT is the sound that bothers you.

    More than any game I have ever played, ZOS has a sound team OBSESSED with creating intentionally annoying and ear-piercingly obnoxious pet sounds, turning every town experienced into Old McDonald had a Troll.

    Apparently they are under the mistaken impression that causing other people pain and frustration is "cute" and "fun."

    That is because they are sociopaths.

    This is confirmed by their refusal to add a separate pet sound slider.

    They WANT you to suffer. If combat completion is the sound that tipped the scales for you, I am envious.

    :p

    That woosh is kinda distracting at times, but also at times quite entertaining. We need the alarm/siren from the movie Promtheus movie trailer during climaxes of battle. Like right in the heat of battle, where it's getting the most intense. Let that siren ring out. Lmao.

    I have not played with in game music for months now...

    No regrets

    ( Don't get me wrong I loved the music & all, but after months and months of hearing it you get bored with it, so I decided to start an old MMO habit of mine, which is listen to music artists I like ) Since that mostly includes rock, alternative & metal I quite enjoy my gaming experience.

    It's nice listening to rock music when grinding mobs or pvping ( helps with the adrenaline rush immersion :wink: )

    Some people on this forum are super negative.

    The audio in this game is very good. Whoever works in that department is really good. Sure some of the pet noises are annoying but the mixing and scores and weather effects are outstanding. I am an amateur audio engineer and these guys are great!

    Keep up the amazing work audio team!

    It's definitely an annoying and pointless new feature, but must admit I find it kinda extreme that it's enough for you to not want to play the game O_o Most people stop playing because of constant crashes, lag, etc.. This seems like a luxury problem compared to other issues :tongue:

    Agree! I love the ambient sounds, especially weather. Had an experience once where a thunder was so loud and realistic it actually made me jump (was wearing headphones, so extra immersive!) :wink:

    Welcome to the forums, LBC, it's acid all over the place here.

    But on topic: I totally agree with you. The sound in this game is stunningly good. And in fact, I really like the end of combat sound.

    Solution for you - go to Cyro, do some healing. Then you will be stuck in a perpetual combat state (working as intended !!!), and no more annoying "combat ends" music!

    Ta-da! :*

    ZOS knows I love them. I was only kidding about the whole sociopath thing. :p

    The sound is really good. I do believe though that they go out of their way to make certain pets sounds intentionally annoying.

    I like that song a lot once it actually starts playing and I get to hear it completely xD... so I mostly try running to the next enemy so that it doesnt start all over. The wwwwwwwwosh at the end was a bit annoying at the begining but somehow after an hour of gameplay my brain started to not even notice it anymore xD

    I dont think they do it on purpose. They just make the same mistake ZoS has made several times since launch and forget what they are doing. They are making an MMO.

    They forget what it means. That at times people will be playing their game hours in a row day after day. Some times doing the same thing over and over for hours on end. So while that sound or noise you put in was cool when you played your game for 15 minutes in the office testing it. Once you have had to listen to it for several weeks a couple hours a day. You just want to make the damn thing stop.

    I must be missing something here because I don't know what sound you're talking about, so it's obviously not annoying to me. But, hey ***, if it annoys you and you've unsubbed because of it then at least you won't have to deal with it anymore. So, toodle pip.
