The Blind Arms Pack should have sound.

Arcturus · July 4

Title.

Araneae6537 · July 4

No.

SilverBride · July 4

There is too much noise pollution now.

LunaFlora · July 5

Please no.
we still don't have a toggle for the noise and flash of other arms packs like Prior Thierric.

I understand both opinions, everyone has different taste.
But in my case, cool visual trail when swinging the greatsword, plus activation sound were exactly the reasons why I bought Prior Thierric pack... Because weapon models are too basic and boring in it, for my taste.

So while The Blind weapons have interesting particles around them, I would also prefer if they also had some glass shatter sounds on activation and attacks. Based on preview, I skip them as I do with almost all such packs... But other people who have already bought this pack, might not appreciate new sound additions. Maybe there could be option to toggle the effects and sounds on/off for such weapon packs in player's Collections menu after purchase - that would be perfect for every taste

it isn't a matter of taste when the reason people don't want it is because it hurts and isn't just visible for the owner of the arms pack.

If it was a faint tinkly glass-y sound when unsheathing (but not constant), that would be nice. I hope they experiment with making unsheathing effects that don't also activate on every barswap.

If junk like that gets added, I’ll submit a ticket for a refund. I wasn’t going to buy any more arms packs since Grim Focus, but these are so pretty (and remind me of weapons I got for my GW2 mesmer). But I bought them for the current effects they have and don’t want any added.

Oh I applied for a refund on those after i couldnt handle the "snap" sound everytime, it got approved too.

You do know the sound only really plays for the people using it right? Externally it's so subtle and muted it might as well not be there at all.

This is what I want for my crowns.

Prior Therric really doesn't only play for the person using it. Its a very loud bang sound on bar swap. When it came out it drove me demented with the noise until people got bored and put other styles on their weapons

yes Prior Thierric arms pack is very audible from other players and obviously the flash is still there then as well.

Question: with The Blind mace equipped I don't see the flame damage glyph effect - is this normal?
Other Arms Packs with visual effects cancel the glyphs?

Yes, if you're using a weapon style with visual effects, it will not show poison or enchant effects

Thank you for the confirmation.
It's a bit disappointing but I'll keep it in mind next time an arms pack looks cool.
