Worm Wizard personality annoying sound

NeKryXe · March 2018

now that Worm Wizard personality is turning into the new plague on tamriel, and since it's the first one with such an intrusive and annoying sound, it would be nice to give an option to other players to disable the sound of Worm Wizard personality. at least it would be nice if muting a player could also mute the personality sound. i really don't mind to mute all players next to me with a noisy personality. and please zos: don't bring more pathetic personalities with sound effects.

i always enjoyed the personalities on the game, but this new thing is just stupid.

not sure i'm familiar with this...can you describe exactly what the sound is?

i see no problem with the emotes because people only use it when they want, it's like a memento, it's ok. but even in standby this personality is noisy and annoying. if you are at a bank with a few players around with this thing it gets worst.

i really don't like the idea of noisy personalities, but since a lot of people seems to enjoy it, the fair solution was to give us an option to ignore all the personalities sound or at least reduce the sound of personalities.

if they keep releasing noisy personalities that the player can't even disable that sound, it will be a huge mess.

i've been testing this one with a friend and the problem with this personality is that he can't control the sound. it's not like the Great Elk or any other noise.

with the Worm Wizard personality when i'm in a group of friends with more than one guy with it i always end up completely reducing the effects volume, because they can't control the sound of those toons. it's really that pathetic.

thanks for posting the vid @NeKryXe ...

wow, that is a cool personality - and, yes definitely noisy...

The soul shriven horse is loud as *** as well.

yes, the personality is really nice, it's just the sound ruining it.
this personality would be great without any spontaneous sound that the player can't control.

the sound is too intrusive even if it was low, but the crazy thing is that the sound of this personality is louder than any other ambient sound around the game. but from what one of my friends with it told me, looks like the sound effect coming from the other players is way louder than the sound he gets in his own character.

geonsocal · March 2018

I can't remember his @zos thing, but, you may want to hit up the sound folks to let them know...

there may be some code/settings they can adjust for an upcoming patch...

Good grief. So THIS is what I was hearing. I thought someone dueling outside was just leaking sound into the bank. Yeah, this is annoying when you're somewhere quiet. Not AS annoying as the zombie personality, which I wish I could kill with fire, but definitely annoying. I think it would be awesome if they'd let us mute some noises via toggle. Emotes, personalities, AND other people's pets, that would be great too.

Edited to add: AND some NPCs please please please. I'm looking at YOU, Stuga. And Giblets. Ugh.

the main reason i don't use it anymore.

More control over personalities in general would be great. I like the assassin one but that clink clink it makes every 5 seconds is extremely annoying. Why would someone fiddle with their blade every 5 seconds? It's not cool; it's overdone.

Same for the zombie one. I really like it too but hearing my character barf every 5 seconds gets old too fast. And why does it cycle through the different idle stances so quickly? It doesn't look like a brainless walking corpse. It looks like someone having a seizure and choking on their tongue all the time. If I want to see what an idle animation looks like I have to force it because watching them during regular gameplay is nigh impossible.

TLDR more options for controlling personalities would be great.

How do you get this personality?

Shawn_PT · March 2018

@N0TPLAYER2

Complete Fang Lair on:

-vet
-vet hard mode
-vet speed run and
-vet no death.

Do them all and get the personality.

Voxicity · March 2018

I must be the only one in the thread to actually kinda like the sounds

Then again I'm probably the only one in the thread to have the personality

WrathOfInnos · March 2018

You can solve this temporarily by throwing a mud ball at them. It will stop the animation and sound.

unfortunately, on the game, there's too many people with that annoying noisy thing.
it would be great if only one player had it.

probably you like it because you have no idea how it sound on the other players.
it's really hideous, and as far as i found out it's louder than what you hear on your side.

Ankael07 · March 2018

There is also a bug that if you do the /read when you have the personality it gets messed up. The character gets the /bless emote's sound and animation between his hands nonstop.

Damn, won't be getting that ever then. Got to admit I haven't noticed anyone with it yet, but I'm not the most observant person.

red_emu · March 2018

I'm not a fan of the personality. The idle stance just looks weird. Your character is hunched and it resembles more the thief personality. Sounds don't bother me at all. The visual effects though look a bit meh. Like very low textures and all. Telvanni Wizard will always be my go to personality, especially with Idle Animations add-on. You can't beat the Telvanni 'Juggle Flames' emote!

Nah I know how it sounds cause my girlfriend has it also. Maybe I am just less bothered about what I'm hearing

Nothing beats that inane Wrothgar pet. This is positively relaxing in comparison to that. Not saying it wouldn't begin to grate on me, but that pet just annoyed me from the off.

Bonzodog01 · March 2018

I have yet to see anyone with this on XBox EU. There most likely are people with it, but its probably still rare-ish, as organised runs of anything on XBox EU are damn near impossible. Its the most casual of the six servers, and also the lowest pop (being around half of PS4 EU which is #5 on the list).

now with the game more populated during the event, it's more noticeable that Worm Wizard personality sounds are not only highly annoying but also louder than any other sound effect in the game. it should be fixed.

the best fix should be removing the sound effects on the personality, but at least reduce it.

jssriot · April 2018

So you're saying I can get back at all the pet sorcs for making me have to listen to their pets' annoying ass sounds all this time? Awesome.

BuddyAces · April 2018

My biggest gripe is the stupid smile my main gets from it.

Kanar · April 2018

There is a bug where if someone else in your group has it on and they go into their inventory, then the loud sound loops infinitely. The person wearing the personality can't hear it.

It's super annoying. No one who has the in-game sound enabled would say they like it.

I have the in game sound enabled and I like it

you can always record it in loop and keep that hideous noise to yourself.

the Worm Wizard personality atm is completely bugged and horrendous.
if the players using it enjoy the stupid noises of that thing they should be the ones hearing it and louder. i shouldn't be forced to disable my sound everytime i need to play at a city filled with that plague. right now in deshaan there's 4 of those pathetic things stuck in the reading book animation and i was forced to disable all sound effects because of it.

i know that there are lots of other sounds that annoys players, but in this case it IS A BUG. the players are unable to control it, i have some friends using the ridiculous personality that weren't even aware of the noises it makes.

it's too stupid, it's annoying, it ruins the immersion, it's a plague and it's bugged.

NeKryXe · April 2018

please zos... fix this thing. it's getting worst everyday.

one single character using this hideous personality drowns out all other sounds in the game.
when the stupid personality gets stuck in the pathetic book reading scene the game with sound is over for all the other players. just fix it. remove that dumb sound effect.

NeKryXe · May 2018

the bug on the horribly noisy Worm Wizard personality is not fixed yet.

i still need to disable the sound everytime i need to do something in a city. there's always a player stuck with the reading book animation doing a lot of noise above all other sound (why does it even make noise reading? really stupid personality).

anyway... i've been trying to find a way to filter that noise and i was wondering if it is possible to create an addon to block only the personalities sound, or if it already exists. any idea?
