    Double-ding when finishing an HQ item?

    Seems like a coding error that there are two ding sounds when you finish crafting an HQ item.

    Is this supposed to encourage a Pavlovian response? Finding that I need to mute audio because I find it distracting.

    Think I remember they said they were making a change to the sound when finishing a HQ craft. Best thing is for us to give feedback on if we feel the sound is helpful or not.

    Seriously? Are we 6 years old? Do we also need a triple-ding when we equip a piece of glamour? That was so unnecessary to add in the game, like cmon Yoshida...

    I was okay with a single ding that concluded the crafting. Having a second ding seems like a programming copy-paste error.

    Everyone please second this because it is so distracting.

    Seconded.

    And the change to fishing is even more annoying. I hope there's a way to disable that.

    You mean the exclamation points above your head when there's (something) on your line? Yeah, it completely undermines the subtlety of fishing, which is to listen and watch for little tugs on your line. At that point, why bother expecting you to press a key to reel the catch in? Just start reeling, with success based upon your Gathering stat.

    I think I read something in the patch notes that you can turn that off, maybe check at the fishing part.
    .. but I think the mentioned setting was something related to combat effects, so if you turn that off it probably also reduces how much skill effects are shown in combat.

    That sounds like:

    System > Character > Character tab > Battle Effects Settings

    It would be annoying if one were required to manually change that just to enjoy a little fishing.

    Really? Does something as basic as changing the sound effect warrant this kind of response? It's one ding (signifying the craft was completed), a second ding (signifying HQ). Can't you just say you don't like it, and leave it at that, instead of making it into some symbol of SE's apparent gross incompetence?

    It is technically slowing down the finish of the craft, which could become problematic if doing a ton of items -- e.g. a load of some low-level potion or whatever. Trained Eye->Basic Synthesis->Ding, Ding like 30x, you end up having as many Dings as steps. It really is a tad degrading.
    Should just finish Ding-less and some seconds earlier, imo. There's already the in-game message saying it's HQ. I don't even craft much, but this is annoying to me.
