Darbon Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 (edited) Charged Burst now have the EXACT same sound as Flurry of Bolts, and there are other issues with the sound for Smugglers. Why? It just messes everything up. The sound they now share is weak, as opposed to Charged Burst old sound which was more powerful, like the ability. Now they sound the same and it's confusing and annoying. It confuses up the rotation and leaves you a bit lost as you've been used to the old sounds for a long time. Is this an error in the audio strings or just a very bad design choice? Either way, please fix this.

Ouza Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Tbh as a pvper i like it. It does not attract as much attention, which is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansBrolo Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 The sound effect for Emergency Medpac was also changed... The original (Kolto Jolt's present sound effect) was crisp and clear. The new one sounds distant and muffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugglersLuck Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 This is a problem. It sounds like I'm firing a little pea-shooter and it just doesn't sound right at all. I hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Wow haven't played my smuggler yet but this sounds terrible. I love our sound effects, both gunslinger and scoundrel healing. First they take away the laugh, and now this...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeCacT_AbraXas Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 also i believe that they messed up the entire audio file as quick shot sweeping fire and aimed shot allshare the same noise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furyn Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I hate the new sounds for Gunslinger. HATE THEM. Was this planned? Are there any changes to move this back to the previous sounds? Did this happen for sniper as well? Please change this back ASAP. Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysanthe Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 All the sounds you have messed up you have to change back, how on earth could you change decent sounds to more dorky ones is beyond all common sence. This is unporffesional. Chrysanthe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stenrik Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) When did anyone ever complain about these sounds... like, ever? That's what I don't understand. UNLESS this is about having a "tell" - I think I remember it being said that snipers have an advantage in PVP because they're less "flashy" than gunslingers, and on the premise that snipers/slingers do best when they're ignored, I can KINDA see it... (I personally would like to see players have control over their weapon sounds, like a certain mod slot on ranged weapons. So you could put a "silencer" on your gun, etc...)

Ybini Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Same sounds = less memory required. There's your answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbon Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Same sounds = less memory required. There's your answer. Oh really now. They have thousands and thousands of unique audio strings to cover all the 8 class stories, including one time individual files for all the companions, NPC:s, and conversation choices and you believed they changed 1 single file to save memory? This is either a **** up in the code (audio strings) or a terrible design choice. Please revert. Edited September 27, 2012 by Darbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exitusx Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah.. this needs to be fixed. 1.4 may have fixed a few bugs but just left a ton of newer ones. It's just poor business practice to release a patch this early with this many issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenenial Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 im only lvl 25 and one of my favorite things on my gunslinger is the charged burst sound! Its like a real gun going off. Now its like Ping ping... a tack in a tin can. Please fix this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haggardbr Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Fix this! Agreed! They need to put the sounds right how they were! Quick shots now sounds like a hoarse pew pew than a really ****** BLAM BLAM as it was before the patch! This is so lame for God's sake! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestarter Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 The new sounds are HORRIBLE. Please change them back asap. I use Jedi armor on my Slinger so I also have to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for finally fixing the bubble butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HansBrolo Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Hey all, don't forget to /bug report this when you guys are in-game. I know for a fact that the following Smuggler abilities have had their sound files altered or bugged: Charged BurstEmergency Medpac I don't have a Gunslinger, but I've heard that many of their shots are also affected. Make sure you guys are listing them in your posts by the exact skill name, as well as doing a /bug report in-game to ensure this gets addressed.

Javaans Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Pls give us our original sounds back, like was before patch 1.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyGreggy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 100% agreed. Charged Burst sounds awful now, as does the sound for applying Lucky Shots. Before there was a crisp snap to it, but now it's a muffled whimper. Give us our bang back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keiraa Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) It's not ONLY Charged Burst, it's also Quick Shot and Lucky Shots Now I have 4-5 abilities that have the same lame Piow Piow Piow sound. I'm a Gunslinger but those sound like water pistols!! Come on now! You seriously erased those sounds? I just hope it was not on purpose.... How lame will that be Anyway FIX IT! Some say that it's good, it's less flashy NO IT'S NOT! It's just terrible and hardly unfair to be the only Class with the same sound for 4-5 abilities. A Patch is supposed to make things better..... not worse. Here is proposition to make everyone happy! http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=5211043#post5211043 Please stop messing with my Game-play! Please restore ASAP the old sounds. Cheers....

Ephanie Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 When i heard this for the first time i thought the sound file in my computer had messed up and logged out and logged back in only to find that was not true. On my Gunslinger the sounds that have been affected are FlyBy, Speed Shot, Charged Burst and Quick Shot. I agree that now my Gunslinger now sounds like she is shooting a pea shooter and just does not sound right.........GIVE US OUR ORIGINAL SHOT SOUNDS BACK. This sucks.

Magias Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 I'm sure they will fix it back guys. Its day one after a major new release patch. While i do agree its annoying to pew pew...
