Naroga Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I had been looking forward to getting Grav Round on my Commando Alt today, and when I finally got it, I was extremely disappointed in the sound effect and animation. Currently, it just feels weak and the visual/sound doesn't match the damage. I was expecting something with a bit more "oomph" when I use my BFG. I want my High Impact Bolt and Grav Round to feel like they have weight when they come out of the gun. Right now, it's a "ziiip" sound with a little white beam. It's meh, in my opinion. Anybody else care to weigh in? P.S - I also feel that the stock strike pails in comparison to the BH's Rocket Punch. Actually, now that I think about it, most of the Commandos animations aren't as good (ie: Mortar Volley vs DFA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Picklefinger Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yeah... I hear ya. It feels like anything that comes out of a giant cannon should have a substantial "BOOM" to go with it. Especially HIB.... sounds like a computer fart. However: I'm kind of happy that the graphics are fairly unnoticeable, for PvP sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it feels weird having a BFG with no noticeable explosive sounds =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKivlov Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) HIB sounds like my gun is spitting at them. And personally, the rocket punch of the mercs looks stupid. Edited January 16, 2012 by LordKivlov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoll Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I too was hugely disappointed by Grav Round. I wanted my Commando to be a walking weapons platform who unleashed torrents of fully automatic blaster fire on all who were foolish enough to oppose him. Instead he's supposed to be a pale imitation of a ghostbuster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLapp Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 High Impact Bolt! Watch out here it comes! *bloop* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderDaHill Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Agreed. HIB and Grav Round seem a bit off considering what they do and the gun they come out of. I remember when I first got Grav Round I though I was being interrupted or something because I didn't notice the completion of the firing sequence. It took me a while to notice the actual point at which the shot was fired and caused damage. Other than the animation and sound on those two, I think they are spot on.

Grimoir Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 HIB is definitely underwhelming. Playing a BH alt after having hit 50 on my Commando, I was VERY upset to hear how amazing Rail Shot LOOKED and SOUNDED in comparison to HIB. Grav Round is alright I suppose, but it could use a deeper boom or something... a little 'oomph' to make it perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entropyboy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 i like HIB's sound. it was one of the reasons i chose Trooper. as for Grav Round, i am completely fine with opening a small black hole at the center of my opponent. what do you want it to sound like??

jedip_enguin Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I'd prefer if Grav looked a bit more like Concussive bolt rather than its current 'big blue money shot/ghostbusters wannabe' effect. As it is it does'nt really feel like it should be called Grav round, more like Grav Stream... Edited January 17, 2012 by jedip_enguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaGun Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I like Grav Round's sound. HIB's sound however is more arguable. Still, the last thing I'm wanting a fix for in SWTOR is the sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eidee Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just bought some turtle beach headsets, and grav round sounds 1000x better with full bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannacus Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yeh I agree - I'm using Logitech G35's in 7.1 - that 'thwack' sound and then the suction noise sounds damn good through those. Its not bad at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkavien Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Grav Round sounds great with a sub or good headset, but the tiny "pew" sound with a small yellow stinger animation for an ability called HIGH IMPACT BOLT....is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWDBAHL Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Im fine with the quiet nature of our skills. I dont want a foot wide laser beam and a 90 decibel explosion happening in PvP. Half the strength of our class is the ability to quietly stand off to the side and pour thousands of damage into people. The more easy it is to notice us the harder it is for us to do our jobs.

SeloDaoC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Grav round sounds like someone is playing the accordion at the end Shooting blue seemen And high impact bolt sounds like someone pressed a paste tube really fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacger Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree with the OP. I miss my lowbie days sometimes when I still used... excuse me while i look it up...there we go explosive round. Damn I wish there was a spec that incorporated that into the rotation That was a powerful skill. Had a good animation and is completely left behind by all of our specs....
