Zos why the echalette just why?

driosketch

Personally, combined with the rocking hop, it sounds like it's choking on a leash. I haven't minded the pet sounds for the most part, guar chews a little loudly, but I couldn't take more than once of the echalette's noise.

ZoS more than made up for the annoying pet sounds by giving us the opportunity to spit on other players with the camel mount.

Especially that build up when the camel sounds like it's going to puke.

Definitely beats tea bagging:
Gank. Mount. Camel spit on the dead enemy. Ride off into the laggy sunset...

TequilaFire

Now we need a camel spit slider too!
(just joking)

Oh,know what really makes me cringe every time I hear it? Some of the Camel sounds.It sounds like a Walrus blubbering.
I've ridden a Camel and never heard one sound like that.
(we have Camels here in Phoenix)

Yeah, the thing sounds like it's having a hernia the entire ride across Cyrodiil.

Why would you allow this things sound effects to exsist. Its loud and sounds absolutely terrible. It sounds like a grown man with a cold trying to do baby t-rex sounds even worse it does this every 3-8 secs... even worse a bank full of this racket.

This is terribly funny to me as it's one of the vocal effects I specialize in so am happy that someone can pick that out by ear.

If we can just get a pet volume slider or toggle this post and all it stands for would be golden.

I gathered you were an audio person from your recent interactions @ZOS_CaseyCoffman (I checkout your page after my last post)... That doesn't diminish my appreciation of your effort in any way!

Honestly, overall the audio is one of the things about the game I have little suggestions for. That and the environmental art direction.

rotaugen454

How about a slider so the pet drowns out all other sounds? That would make me feel at home, like when I am trying to talk on the phone or watch TV while my 3 dogs are all barking.

Hi all,

Agreed on all points we need a pet volume slider. I can't go through one town without that echalette killing my ears the jackal isn't much better killing a rat every 12 secs or the frog blowing my head set out when it belchs fire. The cats are bad too they don't even meow they just shriek and hiss like you stepped on their paw

Specifically this idea, here @Mettaricana . No promises that its a thing we will do, it is a good idea and I'll bring it up

I would like to argue the counter.

My Polar Bear Cub does not roar more then every ten minuets.

The Brown Bear Cub roared every 5 mins.

I should be able to emote my pet and make it Roar just like I do with the tiger mount.

PETS NEED TO MAKE MORE SOUND!

That is all.

It does sound like a bloke trying to do sound FX. Really badly.

Silver_Strider

Little s*** scared the hell out of me during a heist once. I rarely have pets on so I wasn't aware how loud they were when my friend and I got into a heist together and he had it on. Never again is he allowed to use pets in my presence.

KingYogi415

If you don't like a sound of a pet don't use it.

waterfairy

So that's what that sound is...I thought someone was being obnoxious in area chat

Darkonflare15 wrote: »

Yeah just like all of the other vanity pets. They all have annoying sounds even frost wraith which pretty much is not at as loud one but when you are by yourself or with others the little rasping sound can sound very creepy and annoying if you never heard it before. I find the mud crab, dwemer spider, and dwemer spehere to be a lot more annoying than the echatlette.

Pretty sure my scuttler is silent...he just scuttles along following my sorcerer like the cute little turd he is

Sheezabeast

And this is why I love my Baby Netch He's easy to get used to hearing, to me he sounds like a cooing or fussy baby

About that @ZOS_CaseyCoffman, I know you focus on sound engineering and voiceovers, but does anyone involved in music production have a forum account? I really like the new music in the TG update but other than sending one of those awesome discovery notes in game I don't know how else to convey my appreciation (or ask about particular pieces ).

TiberX

I would make the dev who came up with the sound of the echalette listen to it 2hrs every day
Seriously now , ple give us an option so we dont have to turn our sound off in every crowded space

Thank you zos it becomes a nightmare on voice chat trying to hear players over screaming screeching and whining pets.

Now this is after you have played with the Audio settings adjustments in both TS/ESO?

I am pretty sure you could find a balance, or have TS lower sound while someone is talking .... your ambiance might be set too high.

Khamira

Little Echatere's voice is on pair with Jackall devouring and crushing hopeless mouse every 5 seconds...

Really guys, dat iz nasti.

Glad my Fennec is cute and quite silent

I even reported this in game. The thing is I haven't heard any wild Echateres doing that kind of sound so it's really a weird behavior.

reften

Ooo, I like those with Spanish rice....err wait, that's enchilada

When I first started playing, I had the monkey pet. I couldn't take it anymore, so I deleted the monkey item from my inventory...while the monkey was my current pet.

It was bugged out. For the first 6 months of playing, I had that fr#$%# monkey following me around, including in Cyrodiil....till FINALLY a CSR was able to help me out.

I just don't get pets in this game. No point. At least make it so they provide a boost (cats increase stealth detection, something like that)

Teridaxus

This is why i only go to banks in silver/gold zones.

Hi @tinythinker I talked to Brad, his direct response was:

"Cool, thanks!

If you cross his path again, you can tell him...

" I don't know how else to convey my appreciation"

...messaged conveyed. "

Haha. I have my volume adjusted so it doesn't sound quite that loud to me.

Awesome.

Now I just need to figure out how to record the new dwemer theme so I can ask my musically inclined friends what instruments are used. Anyway, looking forward to more new music in the future. I bet there are some fun things planned going forward (and if anyone wants to join in my speculation about Murkmire music it was a fun thread but got drowned out by the B2P announcement; I've been following the music and artwork in the game for a while as they are some of my favorite elements).

Sorry for the side track away from the echalette noise issue.

Don't wanna ruin anything, but to me he sounds like the devs made him intentionally sound like he is farting and crapping all over the player. Hate to admit this but it's true.

How about this simple request? As someone with 3 char and 5 mule Alts, it would be GREAT if we could get a randomization of the initial loading screen song. I hear the same 30-45 seconds of be same song at least 30 times a day. If not more.

I'm surprised my wife hasn't divorced me yet. My running joke is I'll burn her a cd to play in her car so she feels like she's at home (with the loadin screen song)
