Pretty awful. Got a snow sabre cat recently and belatedly realised the standard leopard is my perfect mount. It's so quiet and efficient. I like the way the footsteps sound, whereas the snow cat adds a jingle from the gear. You can never judge a character by the voice samples in the character creator either. What did I collect those feathers for? Really happy with the new Priestess of Mara dress, and it was free. I like the simple things.

Same, that costume is nice, they did a great job, it's long but not "my grandmother style", it keeps some body shape and dye fine, it was a pleasant surprise.

The crap surprise was the Indrik sound and me too I wonder why did I collect the feathers for. I could assign it to a character I don't use and that's because the sickening sprinting dog sound, shame.

Barking is okay, constant barking in rapid succession is not, it's not a dog ffs. It would be more tolerable if they used a new audio source instead of recycling their old dog barking sounds or reduce the frequency of indrik barks.

+1 It really seems so!

Got the Indrik last night. The bark is kinda cute and silly, I hope it stays.

I quite like it. It's cute.

Sounds like the tail end of an Elk call

Didn't bother me in the least. If you don't want to hear it as often, don't spam sprint.

What minute is that thing? I watched it and I hear indeed Cervidae family sounds, nothing similar to dog barking that me and others looked around: where the heck is the dog?

If that bark was an attempt to reproduce a sound like these, it failed, that's too much similar to dog.


edit: ah yes, maybe I understand what you mean, like at minute 1:38/1:39, then they failed A LOT.

Nothing like that, that would have been nice, way less sickening and at least a bit fitting.

The Indrik reminds me more on an Elk than a deer. With that in mind I think an Elk bugle would be more appropriate. I mean nothing say "Charge" more than the sound of a bugle.

I wish it was like that!

No need to have x3 at every sprint.

And this sound you posted is btw kind of similar at the one from a big cat's cub. What we have is very similar instead at the dog bark!

I think it's precisely BECAUSE it's a fantasy creature that it sounds so out of place to hear a dog's bark from it. It's not a dog, and neither is it a deer. Looking at it, one expects to hear a similarly exotic, fantasy sound.

Hey maybe it will meow when you evolve it!

Yeah, that is not the same though. The Indrik sounds like someone's annoying little Jack Russel Terrier (can't stand little dogs, even though I always end up loving the stupid things). It sounds like someone took a sound byte of their neighbor's annoying dog and just pasted it in.

Maybe it’s because I live around deer and owned enough dogs to know better, but that doesn’t sound at all like dog barking to me

Thing is, an Indrik is not a deer either.

And at the end of the day, it's still a "wuff". I don't know, it's annoying to look at a creature as elegant as the Indrik and hear a "wuff".

lientier

well I find the sound annoying as well, but probably will get used to it or use another mount. but actually all the hoove sounds annoy me anyway. I think the sound is actually fitting for an indrik, but still annoying.

sounds like a very exotic bark-fart XD

The problem with the sound is how it gets repetitive. Barkbark-bark, bark-barkbark. Barkbark-bark, bark-barkbark... It could have been one short barking sound for each single sprint command. Just like how it is with horses. Other than that, I'm among people who thinks it is unique/cute and fitting

idk

Funny thing is, Zos will not care about this thread nor respond. Think about Nocturnal's appearance in the game and how so many players expressed disappointment that Zos put such little effort into designing her.

They stood by their poor choice then and will stand by it now.

Amen to all that, you nailed it.

When I use it it is just the initial sprint that has the noise. How are people getting the noise over and over?

Aurielle

I think it sounds adorable and am looking forward to getting my Indrik.

Mind you, I thought the Echalette pet (in its original form) sounded adorable, and people hated that too, so...

Monsieur

After having the Indrik for a couple of days it really sounds out of place. At first it sounded like there was a pack of dogs chasing me until I realised it was the mount making that odd noise.

I’ll probably switch back to another mount sooner rather than later; which is kind of a shame given the focus on the Indriks and the events.

MasterSpatula

I don't know why it bothers me, but it definitely bugs me.

JamuThatsWho

THANK YOU! I thought I was the only one.

playsforfun

i actually like the sounds of it

Epona222

I am comfortable with the sounds it makes, possibly because they seem to be based on the barking/huffing noises made by the European Roe Deer which is common to rural areas of western Europe, and which inhabited the woods around where I grew up. They also have large ears and the males have short upright antlers which the Indrik mount seems to be modelled after (although roe deer are actually quite small, too small to ride or anything, often being not much bigger than a large dog. But the noise seems to have been inspired by them)

I actually think the sounds it makes are really cute, and given the species of deer around where I grew up, seem like normal deer noises.

I love it.

Dr3sden

I love it it's adorable!

RANKK7

Yes, adorable, x3
