So, Blizzard are still trying to remove the last remnants of fun in this game. Honestly, I would have no problem with the default sounds if they weren’t so crap. The sound design since WoD for guns is both bad in a realistic sense and in a gameplay sense. Guns are loud and gameplay wise, it’s useful to hear your gun firing.
Honestly considering unsubbing until this is fixed at this point.
After reading the original thread you quote seems more like something that has to be fixed by you (or the addon designer/modder) than by Blizzard.
Custom sounds aren’t an add on. All that happens is that you give your sound files the same name as the base games sound files, put them in a folder called sounds and the game redirects to this folder and plays your sounds instead.
It’s something Blizzard has allowed since the beginning. There’s nothing that can be done by players to fix it as Blizzard have actively broken what makes this work.
The gun sound is so bad again, what harm was a little sound file doing except making me happy with giant Boom noises.
Fun detected, fun deleted. ![:frowning:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/frowning.png?v=6" ":frowning:")
This wouldn’t be a problem if the base game sound design wasn’t crap.
Guns are loud Blizzard, they don’t just make a little fizzle and then everyone dies of embarrassment.
Also gameplay wise, it’s not a satisfying sound and is actually really hard to hear.
I want my TF2 sniper sounds back.
Dear Blizzard. Immersion in a game like this is a very important part of the experience. This is my first hunter, made it only days ago, and were initially disappointed with the sound design made for the guns. Therefore I asked around, and a friend of mine mentioned sound mods. As a fan of everything sniper related, I was pretty stoked to have found a sound mod that gave me sounds more akin to that of a sniper rifle, which had been great, playing as a Marksmanship hunter.
Now with the big patch, it has indeed stopped working, in fact, any sound mod I’ve given a shot since then does not work at all, which saddens me greatly. Good sound design is one of the most important aspects of immersion, and quite frankly (In my opinion at least) The sound design for guns is straight up hideous. From what I have read, I understand it used to sound different, and that it was changed due to complaints of the old sound being “too loud,” which is a fair point, if there’s no way to individually turn down the volume.
However, I feel like this could be fairly easily resolved, if there was more than one sound pack built into the game and allowing players to choose which one they want to hear, as a client based choice.
The current sound simply does not meet the standards of expectations, realism, fantasy, immersion, nor general satisfaction - And that is an actual problem, in a game genre that thrives on immersion.
I kindly ask that you either find a way for the sound mods to work properly again, or allow us other choices. If the mods aren’t an issue on your side, then I do apologize, but I have tried several different mods, using the same installation process as the one that worked, and I have tried fiddling with the file order.
Best regards.
Like I said in another thread
I’m just a little gnome who doesn’t ask much. Just chillin’ and killin’ nasty weenies. But of late its been depressing. I like the ones on my naughty list go out with a BANG BANG. The sound a gun should make. But my weapons for some reason sound like they are fling wet farts at my targets… eeeww.
That’s not a good way for them to die! Its down right degrading!! Even my pet Bigspot agrees!
