Vote for GNB Sounds

[shao32]

After start progresing on ES11 and notice Fatebreaker have the trigger sound effect on his attacks i just want to ask to Soken to please revert the sfx of solid barrel combo again to his original 5.0 sounds effect please, it's not fair the boss have the coolest sound effects and i have to struggle with the current boring ones when i always preffer the old ones.

XIV is a really weird game. NPCs have access to all gear, while players are class locked. NPC Machinists have nice and smooth animations with satisfying gunshots, while players are forced to spam backflips and release fire orbs out of their guns. "GNB" boss has nice and well made SFX, players have club.

I don't know what devs are thinking, but with time I'm more certain that they just don't think at all.

it's me or the poll has been hacked? all the yes votes has been deleted and now shows only 2 wanting the sounds effect come back and 86 votes saying no, that's literally imposible, the poll lead the yes by a several percentage since the begining of the thread the last time i check it a month ago and now only 2 wanting the sounds effects back? sounds like someone is sabotaging the request.

Huh. That's weird.

But also, implying anyone on here would

A) Have the time
B) Have the know how
C) Have the want

To try and alter a vote that SE has shown they do not care about in order to prevent sounds from being changed that have been around nearly 18 months.

I get the times are full of crazy right now, but c'mon.

Pretty weird a error casually reset just one of the 2 options votes like that if you ask me but independent of what causes this idk what is more sad, to lose over 300 votes of ppl supporting and wanting the old sfx back or been 18 months as you say of SE totally ignoring the fact they did it wrong and keep doing nothing about it.

It is critical we update the poll immediately. Yoshi P will surely use it against us when we give him the chance.

This is why Strawpoll was always a terrible idea.

Could have been better to make 2 posts on this thread and we could upvote the option we wanted.

I tried tanking again for a friend who wanted help with Anti-tower runs for their relic. ... Literally could not hear myself attack with the Gunblade. Just mushed into all of the other sound effects. Was the least amount of fun I've had tanking.

Since we're coming up on Endwalker, now is the time to bring this to the Devs' attention.

Since we won't get any changes in Shadowbringers, they at least need to take another look at the job and fully realize its identity from a sound effects viewpoint. Paladin is pretty raw sword sounds with holy magic sounds layered in. Warrior is super weighty and barbaric. Dark Knight has heavy dark magic vibes to all of it's attacks. Gunbreaker is... an unfinished mix between the old light slicing knife and the new version that seemed to be made and pushed to live in a week.

It's not even about "old vs new" at this point, they need to take a pass over the entire sound design of the job and make the entire thing fit some sort of identity.

If it were a normal fanfest year, I would've travelled to Fanfest to ask about the gunbreaker sounds in person.
