Hey all, we wanted to let you know that we've seen the feedback you've shared here and in other threads about the Banner Bearer audio, and we are exploring options. Thank you!

Hi. Sorry to ping you, but this blew me away, reading that you will explore options for this.

Because here, in the Nightblade's Grim Focus Permaglow thread...
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/641376/grim-focus-permaglow

The official response to that unplayable ability was that it was working as intended.

I'm glad the banner will be adjusted for everyone... but personally I solved the banner noise issue by turning Effects down to zero in the audio settings. There is a workaround for the banners, whereas there is no workaround for the Grim Focus issue.

I'm sorry if this seems confrontational or hostile, that is not my intent. I just know a lot of us would appreciate the same attention for an issue we have been unhappy with for over a year now. Please, please, please give us the same help.

All of this.

Grim Focus remains unchanged for well over a year while the Banner immediately gets addressed. And don't tell us it's working as intended - the corresponding thread has dozens of pages repeatedly outlining how it's not.

What gives?

Plenty have voiced their opinions on this skill but I will add mine nonetheless. The sound is a complete deal breaker. Just turn it off entirely. Totally unnecessary.

The visual? Another potential deal breaker. That needs to be turned way down. This will just get players killed because they can’t see what’s going on.

Please God fix this terrible sound it is so LOUD. Took it off my bar after the first dungeon. Will not use it again until something is fixed.

Stay safe 🙂

Nobody ive talked to so far is a fan of the noise. Awesome to see zos looking into it. I rely heavily on sounds to ensure my casts are firing and light attacks are connecting because im watching the fight not my skill bars. And several mechanics have an audio cue.
While exploring audio, if the banner could be shrunk a bit so it is below the reticle when in 3rd person max zoom out Or give the option to hide banner for self that would be great.

A better idea would be to not have the sound...maybe when activate the ability only, but not have it happen after that. Personally I could do without the banner sound completely. It's not needed.

Did they group test the banner? The continuous proc in trials is grating
