Vote for GNB Sounds

But it literally does currently sound like a blunt weapon. I can hear it, with my own ears. It's not misinformation.

Sigh ... I've already gone over this and explained it.
However, since you are so convinced, please tell us all how an edged weapon like a sword sounds discernibly different than a blunt weapon like say a metal club.
I'm genuinely curious to read the explanation and rationale behind the idea.

I mean if you want completely realistic, all weapons should have that same change as gunbreaker. Ninja knives shouldn't sound like and metallic, chakrams, samurai sword... they all should sound the same as a baseball bat.

No one is playing this game for a perfect recreation of reality... and the gunbreaker sounds are at odd with the auditory queues used by the rest of the game. The sword is held in one hand and is similar in size (and probably weight) to the paladin sword, yet it sounds closer to the warrior axe. This is why its so off putting to some of us, and the original blade sounded more correct for the type of weapon equipped, and if anything the pitch maybe could have been lowered slightly to make it sound a little heavier, and the gunshot sound could have been amplified. But what we have now is far worse than what we had to start with.

I really don't give a shit about how real life swords don't make metallic 'shiing' sounds. Though, if you are curious, yes, I've used a blade in real life. Machetes in particular give off a metallic sound when swinging them. Like a metal woosh. Even if that is not indicative of bladed weaponry as a whole in real life, I could honestly care less. Video games, or more particularly JRPGs, tend to have a specific audio aesthetic when it comes to how bladed weapons. Is it realistic? Not really. If the gunblade goes "Wugh wugh" when I swing it, that sounds like a blunt weapon to me when comparing it to the previous original audio.

Take for example two other games that heavily feature sword combat:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNTFUNzeMVA

Both have a similar audio for their swords akin to the original gunbreaker audio.

So when I say "It sounds like a blunt weapon" I don't mean "LOL IDK WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT B/C CLEARLY SWORDS ARE SUPPOSED TO GO THUMP IRL" I mean more "This weapon sounds heavy and sounds like shit and is not like the previous sound." It's my opinion. You literally cannot tell me my opinion is wrong because opinions are subjective and not objective. If I say "it sounds like a blunt weapon" that is a subjective opinion. You won't convince me otherwise.

FFS ... does nobody bother reading what people actually say instead of just rushing to half-cocked knee-jerk responses?
Seriously people, read the entirety of what is being said and look at the surrounding context in which it is said. If a statement is part of a series of back and forth statements, read through them all so you understand the points of discussion. Educate yourself on what is actually being talked about so that you can form an educated response to it. Is that really so hard?
I've stated my stance quite clearly on this multiple times in multiple responses, as well as what I find problematic. Having to repeat myself is just a waste of my time and I have no desire to have to continue to do such, so have a good day all.

[Karious]

Lmao. Yes, dude. Everyone in this thread is wrong except for you and we all need to educate ourselves. Ok, lol.

Just hopping back in here to say I still hate it just as much as the day they changed it. There is literally no potential for people "getting used to it." It's beyond ridiculous that this has gone on for so long.

Seems like there was actually quite a lot of potential for people "getting used to it."

It's been over a year at this point now since 5.01. I too still cannot accept the current sounds, and no amount of further "getting used to it" is going to change my mind. They still need to be fixed, they were borderline perfect prior to the changes imo (minus maybe fated circle) It's just depressing the state that they are in currently and have been for far to long...

[shao32]

personally im still care about this issue, and i care a lot, the current sfx make the job don't have the impact it use to have at the release and it's obvious is still a thing we want to change, just bcs the dev team ignored this request doesn't mean we should stop complaing or talk about it.

all being said after so long being complety ignored and see no move from the dev team i would recomend request a answer about what the dev team things over the current situation as soon as posible in form of,dev team the feedback is not clear? don't know how to proceed maybe or need to make the petition more specific and clear? (despite the first post asking directly to a revert of the soundeffect with a poll showing a overwelming mayority for the revert), i mean anything so us as a comunity can proceed to aport the most clear feedback in the case they are doing nothing bcs they don't understand something to make this petition arrive to a good port and we can close this problem once for all since after all we can't read devs minds, at least not me (yet), and as i always say a good answer from they part will save months of disapoinment and frustations against them specially in cases like this one for such thing that can be solved so easily.

Hey all, you should avoid creating fights and dramas here if you want the thread to survive. Also, please don't dismiss the opinion of players who want the old sounds back, even if you like the new ones. We're complaining for a reason, and while debating in a constructive manner is fine, stuff like "stop complaining it's been a year" achieves litterally nothing outside of creating more frustration.
