Been here all along.
Boop.
i really really want this but at the same time they would need to pay him more, AND he would need to record double for EVERYTHING new. The actors also dont just record for overwatch, they have other things to do and i dont think reaperās va is available when they want him, he might also just not want to do it. If you think about other heros, like junkrat, who has a surprisingly available va, all of his legendary skins have unique voiclines, but reaperās Dracula, an incredibly iconic villain with a lot of voicline potential has nothing.
You gotta remember, McCreeās va loves his role, and probably doesnāt mind recording extra bits for his character. But thereās a really good chance that the only thing keeping reaperās va connected to overwatch is just a contract.
I would trade OWL for this
Like 75-85% of it is already recorded though. In a YouTube video someone made with all his Reyes voicelines, thereās some that donāt play in Retribution. Ones for respawning, being on fire, picking up health packs, complimenting a teammate, solo elim, etc. I know they would still have to do the attack the objective and payload ones and all though.
I donāt know everything about voice-acting, but it doesnāt seem like a lot to record a line twice every time they add a new one (I could be very wrong). The VAāll be coming in to record anyway. And like, Blizz isnāt poor. They got him to do a lot of recording for Retribution. Though maybe thatās why they havenāt added it, he did a lot for Retribution and is too busy with other things at the moment to finish recording the rest of the lines and/or Blizz spent a lot on having him do his Retribution lines so theyāre just chilling for now (if this is the case, I wish theyād let us knowā¦).
As far as Dracula not having special lines, it isnāt just that skin that has potential and doesnāt have unique lines. Mercyās Winged Victory and Zhuque skins have potential and even some lines already recorded that would match them, but they arenāt on them. Also Meiās Beekeeper skin (imagine: āBees! Donāt move!ā Instead of blue ice spraying out, to you it would be yellow, she would āyikes!ā into a honeycomb, and maybe some bee puns for elims and such). Also Black Cat D.Va. So much cat pun potental! And maybe āSurf this!ā for Waveracer and some water puns or something.
But yeah, thereās plenty of skins with unique voiceline potential that they probably just havenāt gotten around to doing, havenāt thought of yet, or the VAās are busy/Blizz doesnāt want to pay for it atm.
Good point though, Iām not sure how much into his character/role Reaperās VA isā¦
I would settle for not every new line being in his Reyes voice if thatās too much trouble, or it being delayed. I just really want this change. His edge voice doesnāt match the unmasked skins at all. His normal voice is great, I feel like Iām actually younger Reyes doing epic Blackwatch things.
I wish Blizz would say something about this, if itās possible it might happen one day or notā¦ Itās such a popular thing (especially right around Retribution) a lot of the community wants (though itās arguably a small change), Iām kinda surprised they havenāt said a word about it.
Just lemme know Blizz, if it isnāt gonna happen Iāll stop hoping.
Edit: Woops, wall of text. Sorry 'bout that. Iām quite passionate about this.
I really think itād be cool if this was done! As far as I know, Reyes has all the voice lines except āDIE DIE DIEā and maybe a few misc. ones. Just a bit of extra voice work would be needed for this!
What if we could unlock a āsound packā in a mini-event like D.Vaās Nano Cola challenge? Win 9 games, and then when you pick Reaper you can check a box near his skin select and use the Reyes voice? I think this would be a really fun idea.
I wondered if they might ever add voice packs. They could re-add Hanzoās young voice as one. Plus a Genji one without the filter, younger Jack, and younger Ana. Reyesā voice too, of course.
Maybe they could cost like 750 or so credits?
Of course not every hero would have one, but thereās a few that could.
There could also be an option to not hear voice packs, for people new to the game or while playing comp, so it isnāt as confusing.
Donāt make petitions
I never asked for replies or votes. In fact. this didnt start as a petition at all. I only change the name when this thread blew up with 500+ likes in a few days. If Blizzars had an issue with this thread, they would have removed it or suspended me. Neither have happened.
theyāll do that, probably
itāll just take them an eon like it did to add āexperience festivityā to Zenās Nutcracker skin and McCreeās āItās high tideā for his lifeguard skin when ulting
Surprise surprise, Iām booping this again.
Never forget, we Reaper mains stand strong.
Boop.
Iām super excited for Halloween Terror. Hopefully Reaps gets another Legendary (heās the personification of Halloween, please give him another skin Jeff, lol).
Iād rather have an epic skin for him this year. A lot more people havenāt gotten one Halloween skin so far, and with the decline in legendaries overall I feel it should go to someone else.
Iād like this but Iām guessing the issue is that theyād have to get the VA in to record all the oddball environmental lines (talking about picking up the ingrate in Route 66) and interactions (asking Mercy for her to tell him what happened to him), etc.
In the dev update Jeff said they had been reading the forums. Guess they still havenāt seen this.
I am disappointed in this company. Deafness and blindness in many aspects. But they working in cybersport for 0.001% of their players.
Boop.
At this point Iām just hoping itāll be added next Archives.
Bean here all along, boop!
Hopefully one of these days the people who can snoop in the games files find some more of his Reyes lines.
Also, Gabriel did a great job on Halloween costumes this year!
every update i wait for the patchnotes to say what we are all wishing for but nothing yet. maybe if they revisit reaper (since there seems to be -some- people saying he needs a rework/update) theyāll look at cosmetic things and do that as well??? maybe???
