New GNB sounds, why?

[Absimiliard]

This may already have been answered somewhere, but uh.... Did they ever tell us WHY they decided to jack the sounds up in the first place? They seemed fine before.

Because a minority of people on the JP forums and a single thread here made a fuss about it. As far as I can tell anyways because really no one asked for these changes.

I'd rather they just revert back to the old sounds, I really enjoyed all the sounds from the Job Action trailer + before 5.01

Another problem I'm seeing is I'll try to make awareness in shout for submitting tickets to get attention on this and I'll find people saying things like

"I hear nothing but swords, I want more guns, it isn't gun enough for me, it's just the breaky part."
"well it is a pause in my recruitment but it used to be more gunny. now it is just...bladey. boring."
"Before it sounded like I was hitting enemies with a toothpick."

It genuinely makes me think the only issue was the volume. That or these guys are hardcore trolls because I swear people act like it sounded as thin as ninja despite it having a MUCH heavier swing and much crisper steel slicing sound + trigger pulling effects.

I'm sitting in game right now, not even sure what I want to do... whereas a week ago, I was like "I WANNA FATES!!! EVERY ROULETTE!!!! ALL THE THINGS!!!!". I din't even care what rewarded what, I was just genuinely enjoying the job, now I can't even feel good about it anymore. People act like its not important but part of a game's fun is the aesthetic and "feel" you get from playing it. If I wanted nothing but stats and numbers, I can run an RNG simulator of some sort...

You can't satisfy everyone. But you can satisfy majority. And you can do that by bringing back 5.0 sounds. They were very well made, distinct (and i haven't even played at full game sounds volume), pretty much perfect in all possible environments. Now it's some sort of joke.

I honestly don't know what to do with myself too. I have been playing RDM only for two years, i can't take another two. For now i'm out of subscription and i don't even feel like buying more.

BIG SAME, I was a DRK main but that washed down the drain, GNB was my dream come true, then this happened and now I'm the living embodiment of the /sulk emote.

Totally this, I started learning to tank just because of GNB's sound effect, I really liked it but now I''m just gonna play DRK until maybe(?) they revert it.

[Bonbori]

I really really really hope they revert it in the next patch. I hate the new sounds, the change was completely uncalled for and unnecessary.

[jmocubes]

Absolutely agree, either change them in a way that keeps the original and adds the explosions or keep the old ones

Don’t replace the sounds with blunt, half baked sounds with explosions. Sounds like an explosive mallet

[Nephyleem]

Ironically...
... The old Keen Edge's SFX had a much better explosion noise when the blade was shot to return and slice the second time...
