New Sounds

ThePonzzz · November 2014

First off, hi. I'm hopefully back. Bought a new computer and had some serious issues that caused me to be set back another month.

Coming back, Update 5 is completely new to me. I haven't had a chance to really explore everything that has happened. Last real update I got to enjoy was Update 3.

So I noticed there are a ton of new sound effects happening. But the one that seems jarring is the one I hear every time I've removed my hidden status. I tried to search the forums about this, but the search string was just too broad. Any way to disable that, or make it more subtle?

The stupid "clank" sound seems to be happening anytime your character gets a sudden armour buff, from anything at all really. The nightblade shadow tree passive skill "shadow barrier" is responsible for most of the annoyance though as it gives an armour buff every time you come out of stealth or invisibility.

The same noise happens with thundering presence and immovable and a couple of resto skills but it gets drowned out by all the other noise those actions produce.

ZOS we don't need to hear this. It's really irritating, especially for NBs. We know what the skills and passives do armour wise thanks. Let's have some quiet eh.

Don't mind the clank sound that much. Armour buff? must admit I don't remember hearing it on any other character than my NB's.

Ambush seems to have a new sound effect, I prefer the old one if it does and not a sound bug.

Flurry also has a strange magical whooshing noise to it......same, also don't like it.

One good thing is inner light seems to have a smaller, less noticeable ball of annoying spinnyness. But that could have been done a while ago.

Well, sneaking around and harvesting nodes is where I was hearing it last night. Just wandering around outside Shornhelm, it startled me. So it's not a sound effect because my hidden status is removed, but a sound effect to let me know I'm getting the buff from coming out of hiding.

I heard my Ultimate being recharged, that's actually great. I agree on the ambush sound effect, I liked the one we had, but it's not THAT bad.

I just want my stabbing noises back... I miss the sound of multiple stab wounds.

Blazing shield is an annoying sound imo

I like the sound to alert me that my ultimate is ready. I do not need to know every time I get a buff to my armor and spell resistance from stealth though. If it was a more subtle sound maybe but not the clanking sound that it currently has. What I'd really like is for them to fix the stealth, but I'm pretty sure that is never going to happen as they have "fixed" it so many times already.
