Lack of acknowledgement of the GNB SFX problem is alarming

I'm praying that they at least revert the sound effects. The old ones were quite nice and identifiable with a gunblade. The new ones, however... it's killed the audio for this job. I REALLY want to keep playing gunbreaker, but these sound effects don't make me want to. Heck, Verry Merri hates these changes, and I saw a meme that he shared about the new sounds being comparable to pool noodles, which I'd have to agree strongly on.

Please, PLEASE, just revert the changes if that's what it takes. At least give us back the old Keen Edge combo sfx.

We shouldn't accept that. With 5.01 explosive combo and 5.0 main combo using explosive combo will feel like punishment.

I'm concerned too tbh, I still have faith they'll change them but I'm worried with how many people are saying "but this part sounds fine" they're just gonna leave it all. I don't think any of it sounds fine tbh, I hate every one of the new action sounds and how I can't hear my own skills in raids anymore. What worries me more is that if this doesn't change, this is what sets the path for future skills in later expansions.... We'll just have more OVERLY LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS explosion sounds over slashes. Just... please give us back the original SFX, no one asked for these changes and the people who did were such a minority that it shouldn't even have been worth developer time to make these dumb changes.

This. I'm afraid they will start listening to vocal minorities who try to push weird changes. Not everything has to sound like cheap action game. Keep in mind it has to sound good in every possible environment. 5.0 sounds were doing it perfectly. If you didn't like them, too bad for you. Now don't ruin the job for others.

After looking at videos of the old explosive combo, I agree that all that needs to be done is make explosions a bit more pronounced. Everything else from 5.0 worked wonderfully.
