GNB sound change not mentioned in the liveletter

[Dalmacus]

What kurando linked maybe just the minority i looked at the topic over at JP side and there are more ppl still against the changes. Even, a few pages back there are more likes garnered asking for the previous Sound effect instead. Well at least for the keen edge combo.

I'm very disappointed that it wasn't addressed but I'm also not surprised.

Hopefully if we continue to make our voices heard they will eventually change the sounds back to their original design. For now though I keep trying to play the job but I just can't. The sound is just so bad that it is actually jarring during gameplay. I decided to level and learn tanking on Paladin instead.

This is a weird hill to die on.

Yes I have read them (your attempt at Google translate is only giving you half the story with your thread) and the opinion on the sounds is not as bad as westerners are making it out to be, but again it's not a priority. Could the sounds be adjusted yeah JP could accept that, but reverted completely no as they were changed for a reason to begin with.

This player pretty much hits on the head. They understand a change was needed but at the same time, some of the sounds could be adjusted again for certain actions.

I was talking more about the regular gunbreaker thread of people talking about it, not my thread over there tbh.

If japanese players think that swords should sound like hammers just make the change for JP, and revert it for NA and EU.
If someone is able to post on JP forums it would be highly helpful, we need to keep fighting everywhere we can.

And if you send them suggestions in game remember to be civil. The fact that they disrespect us doesn't mean we should disrespect them.

Already did ages ago x.x

It's incredibly disappointing that they've done absolutely nothing about the sound effects. I'll keep sending in suggestions voicing my displeasure, but I highly doubt they'll do anything. Time to go play a class that I can actually hear over combat, I guess.

They probably didn't say anything since not many players are complaining about it.... I mean only 3% of the player base uses the forums while most use other means like twitch Reddit and such. You should probably voice you concerns on other sources to gain more player support.just my opinion!!

There were a few on twitter but maybe they're hoping they'll die down or something?

Issue is now we have like 10x more discussion about that than during 5.0. They listened to very small minority in the first place, and now they refuse to listen to us. Look at our poll in other thread. Over 200 people want old sounds back.
Reddit was dissatisfied too, multiple voices on twitter.
They simply pretend that nothing is happening, but this is not a minor inconvenience, it's absolutely failed design that would be fixed multiple times already by normal studio that actually respects their community.

The mistake in the assumption is that SE was satisfied with the sounds until 20 people said they wanted it changed. This is likely not the case. If it only took twenty people -on the English forums- to get change, we'd be in a constant state of flux.

For all we know, the PLL did not mention anything about GNB SFX due to time constraint, and also the thing was posted in the 20th or so page? Not sure anyone in SE would go that far to pick questions in addition to the other langue questions.

Just as well, they seem to be throwing alot of manpower for "big" job balances and are aiming for 5.08 and 5.1, as well as 2.0 MSQ for NG+.

All the same, I do hope that 5.1, or even earlier if applicable, will see some changes to the SFX, and that they are taking their time doing it. (Although that's no reason to not revert the Solid Barrel combo until then, unless they lost/overwritten the Sound file...)
