The New/Added Combat Sounds...Thoughts?

[LalaLuna]

You were indeed right that this was mentioned in the patch notes:

The idea appealed to me and I was looking forward to this change, knowing SE's eye for quality. But for this addition, I registered to these forums specifically to add my voice.


The added combat sounds do not seem to fit my character (voice 4), whom I've grown to love over the two years and thousands of hours I've spent playing with her. Like you, I get the feeling that the added combat sounds were done by a completely different voice actor, and I frankly find it off-putting.


My first reaction was to double check that I wasn't making up things, my second reaction was to find the option that lets me choose to return to the old situation... which regrettably I've been unable to find


Considering that our characters are our one single character with which we can become anything, a change like this is actually quite major. I'm not saying to remove the changes, it'd be great if they could update the existing changes for the voices where there really is a large discrepancy between original and new.


But above all, I urge the developers to provide an option to freely switch between the original combat sounds and the added new ones.


Their eye for quality is the real deal. Their ear for music is top-notch! Their ear for combat sounds... is a work in progress
