toomanyluigis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Founder here. i have done some research over the past few days and i have found out that as of patch 1.4 most of the sound effects for mercenary skills are bugged and been muffled or removed completely. I have posted a number of videos showing before and after comparisons of 2 major skills of the arsenal spec, Unload and Tracer Missile. Tracer Missile: Patch 1.0 -1.3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZQerOSv7pw Note: The sound had mechanical whirring while casting and a punching 'boom' on explosion. Patch 1.4-3.0 (live) The casting sound has been replaced with a weak 'click' and the missile has no sound while traveling to its target. Explosion sound effect has been muffled and has little impact. Unload (and possibly Blazing Bolts) Patch 1.0 -1.3 Note: (I posted 2 videos to show its not the blaster making this sound.) As you can see, a nice 'PEW-PEW' sound effect is added on top of the blaster's sound effect to make it sound more powerful. Patch 1.4-3.0 (live) For some odd reason the 'PEW-PEW' sound effect was removed and only the blaster's sound effects are played by itself now. None of these sound changes were were announced in the 1.4 patch notes and the devs have stated they are sound bugs, but what annoys me is that recently, Forcequake's sound effect got bugged and they fixed it immediately and never event touched these bugs! Eric/Tait ANYONE! Please just acknowledge these bugs and say u are working on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Wicked Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It was an intentional change. Same thing happened with Mortar Volley for Troopers or Quick Shot for Smugglers. For what is worth, I also preferred the way it was THEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyluigis Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 it was intended? I dont remember the patch notes or the devs ever confirming that. Do you have a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Wicked Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 it was intended? I dont remember the patch notes or the devs ever confirming that. Do you have a source? I don't have a source. Seeing they were all changed pretty much SIMULTANEOUSLY, almost three years ago, logic would dictate it was intentional. There's no conspiracy here.

toomanyluigis Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not implying there was one Im simply suggesting the sounds got bugged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolar Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not saying it's a bug, not saying it's not. Either way, it would be nice if it was at least acknowledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
