I am very reliant on the sounds in the game, and with the changes made to the melee sounds it makes it hard for me to hear my abilities during combat. When I do hear them it’s like I’m out of form auto attacking with a dagger.
Bear swipe also makes no sound unless you actually hit something with it and even then it is really quiet.
Please revert the changes.
They are so bad.
Almost all feral sounds are absent. Horrible
was that a direct change or is this a bug?
I doubt blizz have said either way. That would require communication
They all have the exact same ending sound… no confusing at all…
Holy canoli I thought you guys were exaggerating, they are REALLY REALLY AWFUL. It sounds like water swishing during a wash cycle.
This reminds me when prot paladins had the swingy hammer sound during Legion, and then they patched it to be even LOUDER. Awful.
Clowns at blizzard.
All the sounds are terrible.
Reminds me of the line “What is that SCREECHING?”
Dolly and Dot would not be pleased.
I honestly thought my soundcard was glitching when I first heard them…
Because when a user thinks that when first hearing the sounds, they must be good… Right?
I have a surround system setup. I thought maybe they were taking advantage of that and maybe it was bugged? It felt like “channels” were missing, especially the bass.
Ended up submitting a bug report in-game. I’m not sure if these sounds are intentional or not. They weren’t mentioned in the patch notes. And yeah I thought either Windows or my hardware was buggy upon first hearing them.
Especially because NPC dialog chatter and other player abilities were drowning out my own ability sounds.
RIP Swipe.
It’s so quiet and it makes Swipe feel bad to use because of it.
Yes, please revert these sounds Blizz, I much preferred the old ones
lets fix something thats not broken instead of fixing what is broken and then MAKE IT WORST… f’ing clowns.
Figured I might as well throw my hat in. These sounds are absolute trash. One of the reasons I love feral is the sounds. The old sounds.
I think the most jarring is when the swipe sound is delayed, as is mentioned in one of the many threads about this.
Oh thank goodness, it’s not just me. The new sounds are really bad. I’m not sure if my cat is shredding paper, exploding boulders, or trying to kill wet laundry in the washing machine. Please, Blizzard, fix this. Or at least give us the option to use the older sounds.
I double checked the cable to make sure it had not come loose. That was despite having seen the headings of a few of these threads. Surely I was just hearing a weak version of the new sound file, right? No, it really was a whimper rather than the ferocious previous version.
Seems like they tried to sneak in some fixes. Bear swipe actually has a sound now. What they have is still garbage, guess I will use Weakauras and import custom sounds. Thank Blizz
