I did some testing comparing the old and new polymorph voices with the actual Molag Bal lines in the game and you're right, the voice on live sounds much better, it actually sounds perfectly like him, the new one is close enough but it doesn't sound like the same VA, hopefully I'm not being paranoid.

I'm very nervous that there is still no response from a developer here This is very demotivating... With frequent changes in how skills/armor sets work (which drain me emotionally), at least I could still enjoy my beloved cosmetic item - knowing the Zenimax official policy of not changing such items after they were sold.

Adding just a few missing voice lines to some actions would be acceptable, as well as adding that one special laugh. But not replacing the whole audio few months after someone already has and loves the polymorph. On forums, it might seem like only few people use this item - but in the game, I've never seen so many players use the same polymorph before - looks like Dark Father is very popular figure in Tamriel!

Current voice of this polymorph would only need few minor additions for perfection (light attacks, "giddy up" etc), but it's not bugged and it mostly sounds epic. Removing this voice feels shockingly unwarranted, and it's setting a very disturbing precedent

Someone created an evil voice for PTS - it was well-done as a job, this voice is quality material per se. The only problem is assigning it to already existing cosmetic item. It doesn't match how Molag Bal sounds in ESO. If you take away the current voice, my character won't be able to roleplay as Molag Bal - and there would also be no way to hear this voice anymore. It's so much fun when I perform "cheer" or "laugh" emote after defeating world boss or completing a dungeon. Recognizable voice of approval from the most famous ESO villain is priceless

I own almost all polymorphs, and most of them do not please me visually. Their unique voices is the main reason I buy them Only Lich polymorph and live version of Molag Bal Illusion make awesome visual and audio combination, for my taste.

Just now I've managed to upload it on Youtube:

There is still no notice from someone official on such unwanted change to this awesome polymorph
On live, it's one of the best cosmetic items in the game so far, and I hope the PTS change never goes live

And it's not even the matter of taste. Recognizable Molag Bal (ESO version) voice is major part of the functionality here, so changing it is like replacing this cosmetic item with completely different one. It's totally not good to make such drastic changes to any cosmetic item which was already sold in the store and not bugged.

Please, don't take away this enjoyment Leave the original Molag Bal voice, and save the new voice for some other unreleased polymorph.
