Vote for GNB Sounds

[Noitems]

You know the funny thing is at least for Male Lalafell the GNB walk/run was changed with this patch. It doesn't look like we glide on the floor anymore.

The sound effects didn't change though.

[Vahlnir]

As far as the original sounds were concerned I didn't have an issue with them. To be honest, I don't have that big of a beef with the new sounds either. But I wouldn't mind having the old ones back. The sound equalizer feature they just added does helps a bit though. I changed mine to be more treble focused and to me, everything sounds better, even if it's subtle in some areas. Does that fix the issue being discussed here? Probably not. But any improvement is better than none in my opinion.

Lmao, I should've known nothing would change. Even if they came out and at least addressed it with a "no we're not changing it back" that'd be better than absolutely nothing. The whole situation really killed any motivation to even play this game. Finally had what I wanted, a gunbreaker class; and it sounded awesome. Now it sounds like garbage and I honestly just stopped playing the game all together.

I know someone is going to go "Durrr Higgie is being petty and quit the game because her favorite class changed sound effects!" It's not being petty. I wouldn't use the /laugh emote if it was Tidus' laugh or use the BRD class if the arrows sounded like machine gun fire. Sound design is very important and they really screwed this one up.

I wish they'd have the courtesy to take down the original job trailer video for Shadowbringers and replace the audio from Gunbreaker with the audio it currently has. Since, ya know, that's just false advertising at this point. "Wow that class sounds really cool!" Then they buy the game and feel ripped off because of misleading audio. Whatever.

I get it. I'm being bitter. But I went into Shadowbringers with the full intention to main GNB for this expansion, and didn't bother leveling any other classes to 80, and now I just can't be bothered to care at all. Maybe I'll start spamming Koji Fox on twitter or something, idk.

Join #fixGNBsfx on Twitter. I'm not going to give up.

I'm also very negative about current expansion. Lots of fun content, but overall combat is getting worse and worse extremely fast. First they butcher tanks and healers, 2 weeks after GNB sfx, now they slaughter all combat voices.
It's hard to say what is happening. They are out of touch with the community. Maybe they had some changes in sound design team and new members are extremely incompetent? Lack of control over sound design team? Maybe Yoshi also has bad taste as they?
I won't try to comprehend that because this whole situation shouldn't happen at all.
Time to also post on their Twitters. If they want "war", give them "war". If it grows to big enough scale media might catch it, and it will be perfect "ad" which might force dev team to act. I wanted to avoid this, but they are not giving us choice.

And remember - daily in game suggestions.

Sad thing is, I've sent multiple suggestions about this in too. The fact they won't give any answer at all is the part about this that really bugs the ever living hell out of me. At least if they say "no we can't do it, cuz blank". Fine, I'd take it, because at least you heard us and gave the effort to respond. Or "we didn't know this many people cared, we'll consider what we can do" even. Either kill my hope or let me rest easy that it's under consideration.. SOME form of mercy to the community. But no, nothing.

I am actually glad they gave a third voice to battle voices, makes less repetition in the pattern when I'd hear my char grunt certain ways. Also I have to agree, I'm not wanting to bully or do anything to this level to FFXIV's team, especially considering how good they normally are at delivering what the community asks for within reason... I feel like this has been well within reason and they haven't spoken a word about it. I don't even use twitter but I will for this if that's what it takes.

I feel that it might just be a bias of Yoshi P himself or someone else on the dev team as far as the sounds go, because I never saw anyone in-game or on the forums (or other sites) asking for the GNB sound changes. The change wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I wouldn't mind having the old sounds back one bit. So yeah, if people want change then they need to keep up the pressure in a civilized manner.

Yeah, i don't deny i'm extremely salty right now, but i'm trying to be as much civilized as i can. The fact that they disrespect us, doesn't mean we should disrespect them. Keep it classy.

[shao32]

Since i agree about being civilized it's pretty hard keep the composture when they play the ignore card, i mean me for example im being on this forum since middle ARR, i saw SE use to treat the tank player base as a second rate customers or something like that since HW when WAR was insanely op and PLD underpowered the entire expansion and despite all the complains and feedback they did nothing about it, on SB with the acc problems and DRK underpowered state they complety ignored more than a year did barelly nothing about it excep poor made bandfixs, and now with WAR and DRK gameplay complains + GNB polemic sound change seems they are going to take a full expansion to address or even worse do nothing about it.

it really cost zero dedicate a min to give us a official answer on a live letter or just here in the foruns via moderator, something like "yeah we are looking about it meaby not ready next patch but for 5.x we could have something" or "we have no plans to adress this problem right now we apologize for not enjoying the changes", despite they say in the past they are listening (something i doubt judging tank role status and DRK rework and other stuff like healers) the thing is they choose do nothing about our complains/request and preffer remain silent instead of give us a clear no wich is worse in my opinion, talk to a wall it's pretty irritating and knowing SE they could easily take 2 full years before make the effor to move a finger and if they fail again... well to bad, now wait another 2 years for it.

[Cetek14]

That's why we have to keep up the pressure. They can't keep getting away with it. We need to annoy them to the point it's better for them to just fix it than pretend to be blind and deaf. And the best (and worst) thing is simple revert would solve the issue. Join #fixGNBsfx on Twitter. Party is just getting started.
