I am wondering if I am the only one who thinks that the entire audio engine changed in game?

For example I never used to be able to hear another red mage use scorch, now it's super loud. I think they turned the sound of other abilities up or down as well (Holy).

I am undecided If it's a bad thing or not or if what I'm expierenceing is related to the missing sound effects or stuttering others are bringing up.

What are yalls thoughts?
