Vote for GNB Sounds

I still don't know what they were thinking with the current sound effects for Gunbreaker, especially for the Solid Barrel combo, people joked (myself included) about it sounding like a pool noodle, but after playing it for a while, I would say it sounds more akin to sawing through drywall, which is just about the most grating sound I could possibly think of, there is also a jarring difference with how your auto attacks sound and how your combo sounds. I even preferred the sounds of the old cartridge combo, with my only complaint being that they (fated circle included) were a bit quiet, especially the first hit of Continuation, everything else was fine, the current ones sound like cannon blasts instead of explosions. I honestly don't even know why Blasting Zone was touched.

I sincerely hope they change in 5.1, even back to the old ones, its gotten to the point where the sounds are so grating that I don't even want to play the job anymore, I remember a guy in the novice network being very upset over how the job sounds nothing like it did in the job action trailer.

In my opinion, the Solid Barrel combo is the sound you get when you go dust your futon. Which is to hang it on a pole and whack it with a stick. Although the sound you get depends on the said stick and it's shape...

exactly what I think of when I hear it too tbh... I always said it sounds like cardboard being beaten but that seems a lot more accurate LOL.

i didn't see any changes on GNB sfx either, no explanation, just nothing, SE is really irritating when they do that.

I see nothing. IIRC though, they didn't say anything about changing them before, so maybe they'll just do it again without any communication. If they haven't done anything we need to get on them and make ourselves heard. They at least need to COMMUNICATE that they're not planning to change anything, or at least give their thought process behind it.

Something to note is the title says "preliminary notes".... There will easily be more notes just before patch day if not just as maint is happening. I notice there's also none of those smaller notes at the bottom of the patch specifying very specific details, so like someone said...it'll be dead when everyone gives up. I'm not giving up. They sound atrocious still and are nothing akin to the trailer we were shown or even the cutscene the Hrothgar uses a skill in.

I mean, they did have a patch note saying they changed them. It just wasn't so early or in advance... it was as the patch was happening they showed the note for it.

I'm still not giving up either. Praying to read about them changing in the full notes!

I'm still keeping my fingers crossed....

If they change it at all, it will just be done without warning. Just like how they changed it to these terrible wiffle bat sounds without any warning...
