Annoying Sound Added to 'Attacks'

ADarklore · April 2016

Who else has noticed the annoying 'dramatic' sound added to Bow kills? I don't know if it was added with last week's patch or if it occurred when they updated the Crown Store this week... but it definitely wasn't there last weekend. Now, almost every time you kill something with a Bow, you get this loud dramatic sound- that's the only way I can describe it.

Update: Ok, so I initially thought it was Bow, because that's where it is really noticeable since Bow attacks are more quiet... but I did more research with other weapons and the sound is there too. I also thought it was only with 'kills' but it can appear with any attack. I just don't remember it being there before.

Please do... I did tweak my sound volume on 'fx' yesterday but I didn't turn it up that much that it should have made it this annoying.

Killing someone is pretty dramatic

I'll check it out on my NightBow, been meaning to test out the Shuffle thing on him too

Apparently only dramatic if you use a Bow.

UPDATE: I updated the title and initial comment as I've discovered this 'sound' occurs with all weapon attacks, not just kills... and seems to happen with each enemy- but it could be the first attack or fifth, it just randomly occurs. Hopefully if other people start listening more closely they'll start hearing it too... having played this game for as long as I have, I would definitely have noticed this before.

Figured out exactly what this is... it comes from the "Critical Leech" passive you get when you put 75 CP into The Lady constellation. So the extremely annoying dramatic sound comes whenever you get a critical strike and it gives you health back. Needless to say I can now only put 74 points into this tree to avoid hearing this sound 'once every five seconds'.

Are we talking about the 32 bit or 64 bit version or both?

I run the 32-bit... haven't tried 64. I narrowed it down as I kept going over what it was that I changed recently... and on the two characters that I noticed the annoying sound, I had recently reallocated their CP. So I checked a character that I had not touched CP, and who didn't have Critical Leech passive active, and the sound was not present. I then went to one of the two who had the sound, reallocated the CP and only put 74 CP into The Lady, and the sound is no longer present.

This and crit bash cp are the most annoying sounds ever...and theres no way to turn it off without disabling all combat sounds.

It happens when you crit

Yes, and with high crit rating, you hear this sound at least 'every five seconds' while in combat. This is not something I can tolerate, and disabling combat sounds is out of the question. Which leaves the only option to keep The Lady at 74 points only.
