Bard Perform

[Ralzyn]

I cannot stand the horrid noise created by this new bard ability, it literally makes me angry and I have to move away from the person trying to "perform" only to end up next to another bard "performing" ... is there a way to mute the noise created by this new ability w/o shutting down all sound effects?

Ctrl-K, Sound Settings, Player Effects Volume, Other PCs set to zero. It will turn off all sound effects created by other players, but not all sound effects.

No way to mute just specifically the noise, but you can turn off other player sounds in the menu. It's not a help if you want to hear other players but it's the only way atm.

Epic fail by SE again .. I like a lot of the sound effects, I despise the twang twang plang of the stupid perform ability ...

As I replied to the other person tell them via in game suggestion box to have a toggle sound of performance via your perspective so that we don't have to hear it. Let it be known that you're not happy.

Is it an epic fail? I like it

Yes, it is an epic fail... I suffer from misophonia, certain tones cause me literal physical irritation, some tones give me the chills ... it makes things like random notes played in a horrid array unbearable ... which is preventing me from enjoying what I pay for just like everyone else... I play with the game music off because some it bothers me as well ... so again i say it's an epic fail ...

I rather like it. It's interesting and adds flavor to the game. I'm hoping they add Perform of different varieties to other jobs.

I mean there's nothing wrong with people liking it, I just think having an option for that specifically should be there that's all. Also I did as the other person suggested and sent something in the suggestion box.

Seems to me to be a tad bit of a conflict here, I mean I don't want to restrict people from playing their bard instruments, I just want to restrict them from forcing me to hear it w/o being restricted from other sounds to which I don't have a reaction. I literally turn off game music because some of it causes me a problem. I have misophonia, certain tones can cause triggers for me, most often the reaction to the sound is anger... That being said I NEED them to fix this for my continued enjoyment of the product I paid for, just like everyone else. Does that not persist a need for me to an have option for my sanity without restricting my continued enjoyment? I mean no disrespect, I'm just trying to state my case w/o being offensive, kinda difficult considering I am still a bit triggered at the moment
