Please... Make Leane Luseph Stop!

gmr4fun · July 17

@ZOS_Kevin,
I beg you... please save us from Leane Luseph!

Ever since she was added, she's become the loudest NPC in Tamriel:
"You've a hunger, friend. I smell it on you. But I know how to fill that void."

The problem isn't just that she says it... it's that she apparently has the vocal range of a Daedric Prince!
You can hear her from halfway across the city, and once you're in range she'll happily repeat it again... and again... and again.

The new Favor daily quests make this even worse...
because they send u through several cities where she and the other werewolf recruiters are waiting, ready to shout their beloved line at anyone who walks by!!!

And can we talk about the fact that she keeps trying to recruit characters who are already vampires?
Lady... I'm already committed to another supernatural lifestyle. Please respect my life choices!

Please... Please for the love of the Divines:

Reduce the distance at which her dialogue triggers
Lower how often she repeats it
And maybe let her realize that vampires aren't exactly prime werewolf recruitment candidates

Stuga walked so Leane could run.

@AScarlato Do you know how long I've been looking for that fix?! 😂

Zalig... Same problem:
"You there. You thirst for something more, no? Speak with Zalig."

This is our punishment for not buying enough crowns obviously.

Why on earth would they put vampire and werewolf recruiters in the game? Just goes against the concepts of them being in the shadows and mysterious.

To direct people to the new quests to become one. I don't mind them in the game, but shouting it across an entire town seems silly.

Just whack a blue repeatable quest marker on them and muzzle the wolf, and de-fang the vamp.

Maybe they could add them to Outlaw Refuges, or put them in towns, but off the beaten path and just put a smaller version of one of those new map symbols that show where the new shrines are on the map. And make them get your attention with a loud whisper when you get close enough.

There's no need for them to keep repeating their line and from such a distance. A low radius trigger and a quest marker would suffice.

There seems to be increasing noise pollution in the game recently, with the Valiant Rogue weapons adding to it as well; it's getting problematic.

Pretty much every NPC grates on my nerves eventually to the point where I've just kept the voices disabled in the game for years now. Thankfully, that even shuts up the stupid arena announcers and even the guards in Cyrodiil screaming "i nEed hE-e-E-e-E-a-A-a-LiNg!".

Unfortunately it still doesn't stop the constant and obnoxious sighs, moans, burps, and ... other bodily sounds that they make so there are certain places where I refuse to spend any length of time for things like, inventory organization, outfit adjustment, and so on.

Older game content has them speak once and then the next time you walk by they are silent. The constantly repeating lines started in Murkmire from what I remember. You can walk through the center of Lilmoth and run into five different conversations going at practically the same time, every time.

Leane is definitely in line to be the next Stuga. I now mute my audio when I do the Freerunner quests. Worshipping Hircine and embracing the beast blood is supposed to be a bit of a secret, there is really no need to shout about it in the middle of the public square.

On a side note, Stuga's infamous voice line irked me so much specifically because it was lifted wholesale from Shagora in Kulati Mines. When you take her to find her husband she says, "Seqbar! Do you know how long I've been looking for you?" This innocuous little Alik'r Desert delve dialogue then went on to become one of the most notorious auditory annoyances in ESO history, yet poor Shagora and her plight are so often forgotten.

I can't get the addon to recognize either Leane or Zalig, unfortunately 😭

Zalig's line repeated 4-5 times on top of itself when I went to the board in Skywatch yesterday, it was horrible

This makes it very difficult to play a Good character in this game, you cannot tell these criminal NPCs to take a hike for your going to the Guards because Lycanthropy and Vampirism is Illegal.

@ZOS_Kevin I hate to tag you and I know you all have bigger fish to fry, but can this get written on a post it note somewhere to be looked into? These quest givers are obviously bugged - it goes beyond "annoying pushy NPC". I can ignore those.

In Skywatch, Zalig will repeat his lines literally before the first recitation is complete. My character loaded into Skywatch, Zalig immediately started loudly, "You there, you thirst for something..." then a slightly quiter Zalig started the line, as the first one was still going - like singing in the round.

Let me take this to the team on Monday to take a look at this. Thank you for the tag and sorry I didn't see it before.

thank you @ZOS_Kevin. its especially irksome when running through Skywatch on my werewolf character and hearing Zalig trying to recruit me. I didn't know what the voice was so I went searching and found him. come to find out he is a vampire and I am already a werewolf.

YES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THE AEDRA SHUT THESE PEOPLE UP. Or I'll summon Buffy Summers into Tamriel and do it myself!

Dojohoda · 2:08AM

Move them all the way out of ESO please.

AlienSlof · 10:51AM

Please just get rid of them! Pretty please?
