still no GNB sound change :)

hey guys when next expansion drops and 99.999% of the playerbase is busy playing and enjoying themselves in the first couple of days, make sure to go to the forums and complain,because thats how they decide changes it seems,the tiny 0.0001% minority wins.

Aren't your complaints here kinda amounting to the same thing? You mock the fact that, I guess, a vocal minority got the sounds changed in the first place. So now you're part of the new vocal minority trying to get the sounds changed again? If you get what you want, won't the first group be back at it, prompting them to un-revert the sounds yet again? So then you'll be right back here demanding them to re-revert the sounds. Round and round it goes.

Amount of topics appearing is a proof we are not minority, and it's not minor inconvenience. If they changed WAR sounds to match NIN would you think that it's a small detail and it's absolutely fine that it takes 3 months to fix? Because this is what we have here now. And the worst thing is they already have proper sounds ready but refuse to revert it. Original sounds maybe weren't perfect, but they worked just fine. Slicing, pulling the trigger, explosions. Just as gunblade should sound like. And now what? Blunt heavy swings and sloppy identical explosions. It sounds like it's made by an amateur sound designer, and like something broke in the process. And it absolutely doesn't fit gunblade.
These topics will keep appearing until developers decide to fix it. I admit it looks like a spam, but people are simply frustrated, and it's only natural to happen.

To me, the original sounds were something akin so a sharp scalpel with a bunch of useless mechanical parts able to fall apart any moment. Definitly not what I expect of a gunblade.
Have anyone here actually heard a sword hitting something? High pitched slicing sounds are definitly not something a sword produces. It's not because it's a cutting weapon that it should sound like a chirurgical pair of wobbly scissors.

Besides, the current sound set already has a good amount of "slicing" in it. A nice balance between slice and blunt. (And explosions.) Especially the Gnashing Fang combo, with Wicked Talon definitly sounding pretty sharp.

Sure, the current set could be improved. But going back to the old one would be a huge step backwards. I can deal with the flaws of the current set way better than the ones the old set had.
In fact, the old sound set was the reason I didn't play GNB. Now that it has been changed, I consider leveling it, but I'm waiting to see SE's answer to that whole issue. I wouldn't want to invest time in a job I would put on the shelf if they revert it back to the old sounds.

Well i understand that some people might want some more weight to it, but blunt baseball bat is not an answer either. Incoherency is also very bad, 123 combo sounds literally like a club or hammer, while explosive combo sounds like very heavy sword, it's even heavier than DRK and WAR sounds. It's very annoying to hear, i hate getting GNB in party.
In my subjective opinion 5.0 sounds were perfect, but at this point i can accept something that actually sounds like a gunblade, something well made. I don't get why they even removed trigger sounds. This whole situation is a madness.

Pretty sure it's vocal majority and not minority if you even care take the effort to look at the polls and forums complaining after the changes before commenting.

That's completely illogical, and against the very post I quoted. The comment "Make sure you go to the forums and complain" that OP made is pointing out just how much of a minority the forums represent. The intent of the comment is clearly "some people complained and got it changed, let's do the same."
