Vote for GNB Sounds

This is how I hear it. Sorry for the crap quality, I can't find a free and simplistic video editor with basic trim/clip adding functionality. Couldn't add the actual sounds without it screwing up, but at east this conveys the idea lol... I took a box in my house, scraped my pocket knife (knife isn't out, literally just rubbed the side of it) against the box and well... That's accurate to me what I hear beneath the lil sparkly SFX of the heals and weaponskill combo going off.

OMG this is gold! That really isn't too far off.

Yes, please. I want the old sounds back, they were metallic and slashy. New ones are dull and like a baseball bat. I was surprised they didn't fix them in 5.05.

Reminder to submit those suggestions. At least once every week.

Honestly, I'm not a fan of the old or some of the new SFX for Gunbreaker. The old Keen Edge combo sounded like a broken monkey wrench while the new one sounds like cardboard. The only good thing to come out of the change is that the Gnashing Fang combo actually feels like it's doing some damage with those explosions. I'd be all for completely new sound effects rather than reverting to the older ones.

I know its unpopular opinion here, but I am grateful SE changed them.
I'm sure a lot of people don't realize that those SFXs were causing migraines and at time near vomiting in people, myself included.
I couldn't even be in a party with a GNB, much less play one.
So I'm sorry ya'll don't like the new SFX, but I'm glad I don't have to leave a party after a 15+ minute queue because there was a GNB in it.
I'm 100% sure I'm not the only 1 it was happening too and now I can play GNB too

The same could be said vice versa about this. I get migraines about our current effects, but never did with the old ones. Vomiting though? I think there's just something wrong with you unrelated to the sounds. That's both exaggeration and just not right.

EDIT: Checking your post history, you sound like you're a very negative person in general and not very agreeable in parties. So I'm more likely to believe this is mostly a troll/exaggeration when you mention "near vomiting" about sound effects. If they sounded like something grotesque or were loud enough of a frequency or had some form of dizzying pattern to them, I'd say "sure I'll bite, that sounds like it could happen" but that isn't he case in any form here.

Literally under the migraine symptoms sections for the first google result is nausea and vomiting.

Just as every other symptom links to people suffering side effects to the main effect, yes. I'd hardly say that a headache should jump to "I'M GONNA THROW UP" unless you are truly ill or fallen for some form of flu. Let's be real here and not try to stretch things in the same manner of exaggeration that covers corners.

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone claim that the old sounds induced near-vomiting. That's an insane amount of mental gymnastics and cognitive dissonance, given there was absolutely nothing wrong with the audio. I loved it, everyone I know loved it, and we're still mad that not a peep from devs as to why they changed it for a teeny vocal minority. I quit gunbreaker because of the audio changes. I know a lot of others dropped the class as well.

This.

Let's be real.

You have an obvious biased hope for the outcome, and could have easily responded with some measure of grace. It wasn't a hostile comment. At worst, it was light and casual baiting.

Yet you chose to

A) Mock
B) Justify
C) Demean
D) Diminish

You had an opportunity to be better than the "troll", and chose to be worse.

I don't think it's an exaggeration, I had migraines all through my teens, and my dad still suffers from them. Migraines are Not just headaches.

Migraines can be due to a genetic defect on certain chromosomes, and when you have a migraine, it can actually leave blemishes on your brain.
Migraines can very well lead to vomiting (and the worst kind. You vomit, but you feel no relief and just vomit again, over and over...). Migraines can have triggers . Some can be sounds (while I like the GNB old sounds, they do sound quite harsh, so I am not surprised if they triggered a person's migraine), mine was flashing flourecent lights and certain foods. Almost all my migraines happened when I was in a classroom (due to the lights) save for when I ate a chocolate cake one time, and when I drank a coke zero another time. They had the same artificial sweeteners it turns out, and it somehow messed with my brain.

Once triggered, my migraines used to induce a stabbing pain in my right temple, partial blindness in my right eye, numbing of the right side of my body, light sensitivity, and terrible nausea and vomiting. These symptoms would last an entire day without meds, and around 8 hours with meds. It would also make my carsickness worse for a month afterwards.

Everybody experiences migraines differently, (one person I knew got them for several days once triggered), but two things remain the same.
It's not fun. And it's not a "headache".

The way you talk about migraines kinda makes it clear that you don't really know what they are.
I actually hate people who think migraines are "just" headaches and only headaches. They're not, they're so much worse.
