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.

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

That quote came out of someone's signature, so I doubt it was directed at you. I think you were pretty clear about wanting the option to automatically filter out the Perform ability just for yourself, and I completely agree that such an option should be implemented.

I'm aware of the quote not being directed at me, yet it seemed to contradict his response ... not enough characters to post it all ... so I clipped it and just left the quote ; ;

Uh, what?

I posted the only solution we currently have available to prevent hearing these sounds without turning off all of the sounds, since you asked if there was a way to do it. I made no judgement whatsoever about either the solution or the request for it. I.e. I gave you a simple and direct answer to your question. The quote in my signature is taken from an employee's reply on a different company's forum to a poster who claimed that because straight people are the majority all games should only be catered to them.

How the heck is there a contradiction in what I posted with that? I think you're reading a ton of stuff into my post that simply isn't there.

Why didn't they do something useful for Bard like up dps a bit and make Foe a 1 shot buff that doesn't constantly fall off??? Musical thingy is a total waste. *bah*

I've been using it for audio shitposting, thanks for confirming it's effectiveness

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.
