    Request: Different sound when being targeted by friendlies

    I think it would be nice if the sound effect for when you are targeted was different depending on if you were targeted by a friendly or a hostile.

    I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets a bit alarmed when they hear that sound, thinking they just pulled aggro and are about to get attacked, only to discover that it's only Eos or Selene casting Embrace.

    Yes I agree. This always used to bug me in AoE heavy fights.

    I've mistaken a embrace for an accidental aggro steal on T9 a couple of times, I agree lol.

    +1 Totally agree. I've had the same issue, and then there've been times where I'm like, "Oh, I'm being healed", only to find instantly that I've pulled aggro.

    lmao. i know this. you either think you are safe and just stand there like idiot. or think you are unsafe and run around still looking like an idiot. LMAO! yeah it would be nice to have a different sound for when you are targeted by each a friendly and enemy.

    but i also don't think it's something that should be added with little regard. why? because we want players to actually pay attention. if you are watching your screen like we ought to be doing, and not zoning out, then you can see the difference in color with Target Lines enabled.


    again, i think it's a nice idea and all. but we don't want to encourage inattentive behavior.
