Add me to the list of folks that want my ability to customize the sounds… most especially the hunter shot sounds.

I didn’t even notice that I wasn’t on my main to post with… anyway, I’m not really playing since 8.2 dropped because I want my gunshot sounds back!

Oh great, they moved us to the UI section. xD Hopefully this is not their way of trying to hide bringing it to more people’s attention on General Discussion. There are already more than a few threads about this here. I thought spamming was against the rules; Blizzard, what gives? I did get in touch with a CM on Reddit and he told me that I could start another thread in this section about it as well. I suppose, if that is the case, we should all make a separate thread and flood this forum.
I haven’t even touched my hunter with a bow and my hunter with a gun. Yes, I have two. That is how much I used to love hunters.
I have ally katt on stormrage and horde katt on zuljin and what ever other katts exist in armory are me too all the katt hunters are me so having 2 is ok I thought about them moving us to this spot kinda felt like them hiding us in some dark corner out of sight of anyone cuz who even ever looks at the ui and macro section of the forums

Just started yet another thread about this in GD.

Definitely. I think this issue has brought some decent traffic to the UI section, but it doesn’t have nearly as much an audience as GD does.
Uhg, the “can’t use item yet” spam is killing me. Please blizzard, this is ridiculous.
Is there an addon that can mute the stupid Ankoan followers? I’m sick of hearing their lines over and over and over when they spawn.

Hit Curse, search for the addon Mute Sound Files.
You’ll have to use the site wow.tools to find the SoundKit ID# of the file you want to mute, then add it while in-game. Works perfectly.
If only it were that easy for hunter and other class sounds. Gaining back the ability to override sound files is going to take some time and patience…

Getting a bit bored of the Mechagon/Nazjatar dailies and thought “I’ll go level up a fun Gnome hunter alt” – find my trust gun-sounds from vanilla, since I can’t stand the new(er) sounds… nothing is working.
I come here and read this terrible news. Guess I’ll not be leveling up a Hunter alt. I’m actually incapable of playing the class with the current sounds.
So… I guess I can see how long I stick around after wrapping up the dailies or find another alt to level up… or unsubscribe?
It’s really disappointing that this functionality was broken and the add-on developers either weren’t consulted or fully briefed on the file structure changes. This entire thread could have been avoided by inclusion of the add-on community. WoW is a great game but the golden cohort has long been through, and something so cosmetic being broken and angering the community to the point that a certain percentage of the population cannot play is all-around not an ideal approach.
Here’s hoping the add-on community can address the issue. I eagerly await it – I just don’t know if my active subscription will do so.

Couldn’t you work around this by muting the sound you want to replace and parse the combat log to play the custom sound when the combat log event occurs?
That could work for your own sounds. It’d take a lot of work, and it’d still mute everybody else’s sounds of the same type (Hunter’s autoshoot, for instance, would mute every other Hunter and npcs that use the same soundfile, which may or may not be an inconvenience).
Yeah, that would kind of suck. With the old bow and rifle files I had, I used to love how immersive it was with hunters around me in battlegrounds or dummies at the order hall. Even battle pets, and Darkmoon Faire games with the tonks or the target game.
…Omg I remember eveything that used the sound files.
I am going to assume at this point that Blizz has chosen to simply ignore customer displeasure regarding this decision.
Playing the game Ctrl-S from here on out, much to my disappointment.

Can this really be that hard to figure out for them?

Can you help me find the IDs for the new kill command sound?
It’s these sounds: https://www.wowhead.com/sound=55724/spell-hu-killcommand
These sounds alone makes the BM spec unplayable for me. I would REALLY appreciate to mute them
edit:
OMG I FOUND THEM
1591066
1591067
1591068

Makes kill command completely SILENT

tbh wow has really worn thin for me between the bad CS reps deleting threads / threatening people and even suspending people for opinions in the name of “trolling” the constant bad moves by the devs and the lack luster story . Oh did I mention the slot machine we call loot drops with the war forging and all that bs. Oh Profs sucking too yeah another nail in the coffin there. This sound crap is just another one that is making wow no fun to play Sometimes I think a group of chimps could do a better job making this game fun then the current team… after all they hang out and fling poo and that sounds more fun tbh than the current state of wow

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ve managed to get a lot of annoyances gone.
Another question. Anyone knows the names (or IDs) to the dialogue by Mathias Shaw in the Seething Shore battleground? He’s $$@# annoying!
I usually do not get annoyed with spammy dialogue, but Nazjatar bodyguards are really starting to get on my nerves.
