I agree. I love the voices. It shocked me once I first heard it and I'm more willing to read the boss's text box if they're actually speaking. And also..

THIS WILL BE A MERCY!

o.o I quite like the voices, I hope they keep them up.
I mean I know they can get annoying to some people but I didn't mind them.
Tbh, this is the first time I've heard anyone complain the battle voice overs... D=

Not about having silent bosses, it's about having bosses that don't utter the same line an obnoxious number of times in a single fight.

In short, more Gilgamesh style?

Yes, there is no way I can shut that guy up. His lines are too entertaining. That and..


I HAVE THE POWER. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

no way.
mid fight speech is the best thing in hw

I love the voice overs. The repetition doesn't bother me at all.
Plus, the only line I can think of that was slightly repetitive was "Sickness must be purged!"

But it doesn't bother me, because the lines symbolize moves or phase transitions.
Once they come with that dynamic, it feels like part of the encounter background than I never wonder why this guy keeps repeating the same thing.
It's more like he's voicing an incantation, or saying his ability.

Really makes the Ravana fight fun.

BOW BEFORE ME

Nope. I really liked Ravana's voice in battle. Jap voice btw

Quiet bosses on HW? Hell no: I definitely enjoyed the voiced encounters in the expansion: it gives some threat to the fight and I feel like I'm actually fighting a boss, not...reading a boss.

Besides for what I'm noticing a lot of the complain is coming from the vault boss repeating the same line over and over (I only did that place once and I don't even remember), but hey it could be worse.

It could be this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZxiS9N_MCE

DOWN WITH YOU!

I like them a lot.
I was so disappointed when I did the second fight against Gilgamesh and there was no voice where the first encounter was so epic/fun.

But as stated before, is you don't like them, just disable the voices all together when you farm dunjon.

Honnestly, I'm more annoyed by the little shout and scream of miquo'te and lalafell attack (bard, monk >__<) "yaah, heey, haa!"
I'd rather have true attack name screamed on Limit Break or big CD skill than that.

"you are bad toys! very, very bad!" -XT002 Deconstructor.

Come on I want a boss telling something so silly it becomes unforgettable.

Maybe one primal should say "Are you prepared?"

Why I'm not surprised OP is from Balmung.
I totally love the voice during boss fights and hope they add more of that. Specially if to piss off picky people like the OP.

..Because just about every thread here has at least 10 people from Balmung in it? I donno about "serverist" but it'd be nice if other servers got as much "love" as Balmung. Everyone goes there because..everyone goes there lmao.

If you had an axe that was taller than the total height of all 4 players standing on each others heads, you'd think you were He-man too.

TAKE WINGS YE SOULS OF WAR

i like hearing our opponents, even more so then just oh hey they have a voice for one second and then BOOM nothing

In honesty, I am happy this is the case. Makes the fights way more interesting, like Ravana EX. Was annoyed that Gaius' voice was so damn quiet.

SE still needs to fix the bug on Bloody Fuller though. Ravana's voice when he says REJOICE IN THE GLORY OF COMBAT (iirc), is extremely biased to his front. You can flip the camera from his front to back, and the voice goes from 100% to 0% volume.

The point is that the tie the speech to abilities so you get audio input instead of visual only.
If we're ranting about audio, what I want to be able to mute independently is the super annoying sound that gets played when lots of players are around. ESP in combat. W T F.

"Down with you" It's not as bad as those Tank malarkee Johnny type persons who think it cool to add text to their Macros announcing... I can't even be arsed typing anymore. You're probably not even reading this by now.

I just want to add that Ravana's line "TAKE WING, YE SOULS OF WAR!" is one of my favorites in all of the battles from HW.

Mine too.
I like when he says "Beep!"
lol. I dunno what he says but it sounds like it.
"Dance to the song of ringing steel!"

i'm hard of hearing and when i first herd it i thought he said 'Take wings you son of a whore' and i wanted to punch him harder XD

but all of ravana's lines are really good :D and like mhikail said the dance to the song of raging steel is the best line with bloody fullers.

Gaius: YAARRRRRRRGH!
Gaius: YAARRRRRRRGH!
Gaius: YAARRRRRRRGH!
Gaius: YAARRRRRRRGH!

If anything one thing I that DON'T wish to get is groans and voices when the boss gets hurt everytime.

I mean WoW had a time where it become so ridiculous that you'd WISH they repeated the same line over and over. The name Paletress might make chuckle some of you.

On the other hand, Bronjahm was pretty awesome when you attacked him. And it was the only fight I recall where the music was different than the normal.

"You have meddled ENOUGH!"

Can you imagine if they made Garuda's laugh louder?

Had I not adjusted my audio settings I would not have know she and/or sisters laughed in combat

I wonder if it would have been more intense if King Thordan's fight had more VA. If it's there I do not hear it. Only VA I hear is towards the end when they cast Ultimate End.

Phase changes are fine. Voicing a standard attack in the normal rotation is not.

2.x did fine without much audio telegraphing, HW went off the deep end and entered the realm of cheese and repetitiveness.

At least they aren't like this guy:
