Bobby_McDonald Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 There are many different and awesome sounds for lightsaber and blaster already. A sound tuning could allow players to combine there prefered visuals with their prefered sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirtastropohe Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Yeah, the default sounds on many of the lightsabers are very disappointing. VERY disappointing considering how much they cost. We should have the ability to choose the sound we want for our lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Ziva Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I would think that would be more difficult to do. Right now, tunings just add something to the item. In order to replace the sounds, they would have to suppress the existing sound on the item and then replace it with a new sound. Also, there is no way to preview a sound in-game. I can't imagine all the support messages "I bought this and it sounds like crap, I want my credits / cartel coins back". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagnarAugustus Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 There are many different and awesome sounds for lightsaber and blaster already. A sound tuning could allow players to combine there prefered visuals with their prefered sounds. That's actually a great idea. I've seen neat looking weapons that have an underwhelming sound. This would fix that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindera Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Instead of another tuning item, include this into the item modification station. Give them as new craftable items (like sound processor or I don't know). Armstech -> blaster sound mods Artifice -> lightsaber sound mods Or just divide them up, we have enough weapon types that all crafting skills could get one. Schematics could drop from end-bosses of Ops / buyable for Unassembled Components from vendors, so both PvE and PvP players would have access to them. Schematics would need some rare materials (like Void Matter Catalysts) so they would not flood the GTN in all-of-a-sudden. I think sound preview could also be done somehow with CTRL + Click on the schematic and playing the sound it gives... Anything they do, just don't include them as ultra-rare drops in CM packs which you cannot unlock in collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graygorij Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Great suggestion. Either tuning or mod works for me -- definitely worth cartel coins to me. My only concern is the many bad weapon sounds in the game and what would be available and how you would preview the sound offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChronicSquirrel Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 This would be nice as blaster pistols like the E-1 imperial Blaster Pistol and the Rascal sound like nail guns. NAIL GUNS!? have the sound engineers ever seen a Star Wars film? This kind of sound engineering in a traditional FPS would not even be tolerated.

Kalnarius Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 there could be sound preview option in character/outfit preview to at least hear various sounds we already have now animations now in the previewer so nothing to say sounds couldn't work as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxmob Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 *bump* / +1 The sounds just need to be existing sound files. For example, I have the Odessen Assault Cannon and the Furious Assault Cannon (yeah yeah, they're already legacy). Both weapons sound the same. It's a deep *thwump thwump thwump* instead of the usual *pew pew pew* The Odessen Cannon is butt ugly (fire truck red). But it's the perfect sound. A tuning to change the sound of another weapon to this already existing sound seems like the perfect Rx. On a related note, why do so many assault cannons sound whiny like the much smaller barreled sniper and blaster rifles? /sadface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually heard some old fashioned electric typewritters with more agressive sounds to them ... OK that's before your time.. :D:D But you get the idea ! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingusPho Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Yup. I'd buy it. I hate the way most blasters sound because the audio doesn't match up to how it should in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Guy_Called_Bob Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 This is an amazing suggestion. Either this or some kind of interface to choose between the different sound effects, e.g. the awesome standard snap-hiss sound (which should be the default for most lightsabers) or the Darth Vader hissing sound. I'd so spend money if this was introduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MingusPho Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Can we have this please? I hate putting forth the effort to acquire a new blaster only for it to sound like *not star wars*. And some of those that sound good look crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHEN the team releases the new class ( you know ... the Republic SIS special agent / Empire counter part ) ... they should be using a weapon that corresponds to the request that I made to go with that new character which pretty much sounds like a phalanx ...
