I mean between this and the Devil May Cry meme... you'd think they would get the hint + the forums/suggestions/everything about this.

+1 please bring back the better, slashier, brighter sounds. It honestly just sounds like they dragged Soken to crank up the lower frequencies, lower the higher ones, and just apply it as a quick preset over the entire set of sounds.
I want to play Gunbreaker using my GunBLADE not my GunNOODLE.

Reminder to submit suggestions in game as well. No one should be accepting mods as the "fix" for this and just be passive. We want the GNB sfx to CHANGE for the better. Don't stop or give up now.

We don't discuss mods here cuz they went ham and banned a few people last time people went there. I heard there's people doing things such as replacing SFX files and etc but in any case, I'm hoping that doesn't make people not try to fight for the sounds to be fixed. Again this sets up the future expansions of skills the gunbreaker gets... I'd rather not MORE mallet-like sound effects.

Yeah, GNB need more emphasis on both the GUN and the BLADE sounde effects...

I'll take even just the blade SFX. We shouldn't sound like a wet hammer.

Even a hammer sounds more impactful than what GNB has.

Actually I would argue they embrace their Memes for inspiration. *cough* WAR Fell Cleave Meme *cough*

Live letter soon... can only hope. As we've always done.

Yeap we can only hope, fingers crossed and maybe we will get great news <3

I wouldn't bet on anything. Yoshi P already proved he doesn't care about anything else than $ (people won't stop playing because of one broken job, so why bother fixing it), but it doesn't mean i'm going to give up.
We can utilize Twitch chat during live letter, but in a civilized manner.

This is like male viera, or a monk rework, not gonna happen, they don't care so they will continue to ignore us. Best thing we can do is move on.

Yoshi exactly expects that. I'm not going anywhere. He knows he can do nothing because people won't fight for it. I will not let him forget about it.

Exactly this. I just sent in another suggestion since I saw the live letter, also detailing how people are using third party programs/mods to change the sound effects for specifically this job. I don't think I've heard anyone else use mods to change their job's sound effects but GNB. If they're gonna bring up 3rd party program usage and take action, then this needs to be under consideration too because people can't stand this wet noodle of a weapon enough, they WILL resort to this method.

well, GNB sounds problem can still be fixed independent of having a oficial response on the LL so there is still a chance for it but i agree, we shouldn't give up just bcs SE want us to by playing the ignore card.

Patch 5.2 is coming next week. Will we be getting the old gunbreaker sfx back or will it stay the same? If it does not i might have to resort to other means of fixing this annoying issue...

I still bet that devs have one strategy - ignore the problems and hope that people forget. Problem is some issues are too big to be forgotten.
I really wish that more people would be more vocal. Devs seem to not care about feedback, so we need different methods to persuade them instead of just posting on official forum and sending in-game suggestions.

I too hope 5.2 will be the revert. It's been 7 months roughly since they changed them and I still can't stand the current sounds. I still miss the old ones.

Plus the 377 replies in this thread alone plus all the other feedback (ingame etc) others do too.

I just hope it will be good news come Tuesday when the patch notes go up....

preliminary patch notes are up and i didn't see anything about GNB sounds, ugh another few months with this horrible sound desing.

We don't have any job related notes up anyways plus when they do add notes, it's steadily.... MAYBE they'll surprise us? We just got confirmed for Shinryu weapons at least I mean.

Adding more weapons to broken job won't fix it. And i wouldn't be surprised if it's just reskin.

As far i know the shinryu weapon is a reskined manatriger.

Negative from my part, i don't expect anything from them anymore.

But seems it's the crafted weapon the one reeskined so my bad , still i belive its a lazy job, idk on What they are using they resources but it's taking to much from the rest of the Game.

I mean, not to go in circles, we already established the job isn't broken, the sounds are that make it unpleasant to enjoy. The job itself "plays" just fine. I would be surprised if it was a reskin because Shinryu weapons are supposed to be primal weapons with nice designs... Wouldn't quite make sense to reskin a later level model for an earlier level primal weapon.

All of the Shinryu weapons were unique models, and so far we've no idea what to expect. I highly doubt they'd just reskin ANOTHER DNC/GNB weapon model... for an old trial. But, it does, if anything, lead towards hope that over time/patches they'll add more weapons for them. Personally though I'd like to see Diamond, the ARR/HW trials, and Alex weapons.

Still nothing. I'm surprised that I'm actually surprised about this.

There wont be any changes about this, like ever. When you get ignored like we do it's pointless

Very disappointed.

Even if they are going to ignore us (like always) we can't give up to give Yoshi P satisfaction.
Reminder - Twitter exists. It's good to also complain there to show more people that FFXIV is not as good game as some claim to be.

Just wow...This is gonna be a year now...

i personaly wanna ask where yoship get that supose feedback about GNB sounds right now, he say many ppl love the new sounds and are very pleased with them but for much i look everywhere i don't see anything about it excep complains and more complains about the current state.

I am one that likes and does not mind the new sounds. I have not given him feedback saying that I like them though. I just keep on gunbreaking.

I have given up and found new means to achieve what i needed. TBH the past SFX lacks the blast oomph to it like we have feedback before but that keen edge combo sfx is the best one ever. It's totally light and day compared to current keen edge combo sfx.

A couple patches ago they added some new options under Sound, and I changed mine to Bass Boost mode or whatever it's called. I think the changed GNB sounds are fine...at least with that setting and my nice speakers.

Original ones definitely lack impact but it sounds like a blade. Now we have a club. It is a huge downgrade. If they wanted to change it they should have done it properly.

So the sounds were changed from the original ones? Why?

People didn't like the original ones, so they changed them. People didn't like the new ones and want them changed again. /shrug I didn't have a problem with either sets of sounds.

So squenix took the story of the monkey's paw and made it real basically?

Guys, I'd give up. Most likely outcome is they change the sounds and make them worse then what they are now.

As long as the mod keeps getting updated a lot of it should be fine. But making players resort to a mod is a bit iffy. IIRC there was a small thread on the english forums saying the blade didnt sound heavy enough, and a larger response saying the explosions were too quiet. I think basically everyone aggrees the new explosion sounds are an upgrade, but the "heavyness" of the blade only had a small following, and the please revert that bit specifically crowd has more traction and "likes" than the intial requests ever had. I just want my blade to sound like a blade and not like a club but guess we're stuck with it.

It's absolutely awful now, i'm not giving up. It sounds so bad that even if they make it worse, it wouldn't really matter. It just can't really be worse.
