Sound Cuts Out? ZoS Thought this was a good idea?

Vizier

Someone in our guild was saying the sound cutting out is on purpose? Someone thought this was a good idea? HUH?

It's flipping annoying as ****. Situational awareness is half of PvP. What is going on ZOS?

It's a bug and will be addressed in Monday's patch

Not the first time this bug has happened. Zos did not intentionally take away your sound. Easy there, killer.

Elsonso

Hopefully it gets fixed. Sometimes the game crashes after this happens.

Yarlenzey

...right.

Ulfgarde

No.

It is actually a subtle, artistic addition to the game by ZOS. If you are not familiar with the serious elements of history, as you clearly aren't, they have included "shell shock" in the game, letting you be immersed in this lore-driven, breathing world where your character is physically and mentally traumatized by the utter horrors of war. The deafness you perceive is actually your character's ears intensely exposed to the trebuchets and ballistae blasting off every microsecond. As a result, you sympathize with your character's fatigue and anguish, finely blended in with your own.

This is a highly stylized and unique hallmark that ZOS has intentionally implemented, speaking volumes of the terror of war. You should be more appreciative and less dismissive of this exceptional display of audio design, never before seen.

Lol on purpose.

Who was the genius who told you that sound cuts off on purpose?

Yarlenzey

It's a performance tweak. Not loading the sound file speeds things up.

I had a large meat lovers pizza for lunch. Ive got to bumps on my head from hitting the ceiling as a result of the gas is produced.

The sound cut out briefly, all the air left the room and I was left with my eyes wide in horror flopping around like a fish out of water.

im okay now though, and I'm hopeful I get into cyrodill and can be in the same spot as you when the sound cuts out for you. Im going to uppercut and then reverse slice your ass, you wont know what hit you, youre going to smell it though....

Thanks, it's late.

They aren't even giving us new bugs anymore, Just recycling the old ones. Like how in the blue hell has this not been fixed?

SAD!

That someone in your guild would be a poster boy for exaggerations. Stop it already

Thanks for that. The dude saying it was to address performance was very convincing. It just made no sense at all that that would even be considered as a way to address performance to me.

I guess rumors will happen and boxes of rocks like myself will bite.

Thanks for the feedback

Been back longer than that

No they didn't think it was a good idea, whoever told you they did it on purpose was either dumb, or trying to see if other people were dumb enough to buy that horseshit. This has happened a few times with past patches and usually gets fixed quickly. I haven't heard of anyone reporting that this happened on PTS, so it's not like they expected, or should have expected it to happen.

Next time send mr. Convincing to rage about his own claims on the forums, just to be sure.

Someone in guild was saying that it opens a second ESO process in the background when this happens too, and that trying to close it just causes it to reopen.
