Auriaya’s shriek

This is about auriaya, a boss in ulduar, shrieking after she’s defeated (well, killed). Any chance blizz can change/remove her awful shriek she made when she’s defeated? It’s been bothering me for a while.

That sound isn’t exactly pleasant to hear and can cause misunderstandings if heard by others or in public places like a cafe or library.

I know chances are low that blizz will look at this but in the off-chance you do, can you please have a look?

Nothing wrong with her shriek.

Years, it’s been terrible for years.

At one stage when I was farming (unsuccessfully) Mim’s Head, I’d call my kids over so we could all laugh at her hysterical scream.

If you’re playing wow in a public place with speakers and not headphones you’re the problem not the shriek.

have you tried turning in-game sounds off for a short few seconds just before you kill her, so you DON’T hear her shriek?

but on a side note, i’m not happy, that they muffled the sound of the mekgineer’s chopper/mechano hog, let alone the champion’s treadblade/warlord’s deathwheel. i mean, they’re SUPPOSE to be somewhat loud, cause they’re motorcycles.

but what’s annoying to me, is people spamming the Algalon event in Northrend-Dalaran…every 30 seconds. <.<

(i’m honestly surprised that hasn’t been removed already.)

What is like Control S?

When I saw that change I thought of the South Park episode ‘F Word’ lol!

Sorry, sounds like you get ‘triggered’ easily. It’s a small moment of sound from one boss. I have a button on my keyboard that mutes my sound quite easily, and conveniently, unmutes it when pressed again.

Try it:)

Especially in a library, wow. Who does that?

Apparently the OP.

Not saying I play in a library, just saying if. That was a poor scenario.

Ok, let me change the scenario (just a scenario, not a real case):
I play in my room and there are guests in my house. My volume is small enough that only I and people right outside my room can hear (people in other rooms can’t hear). Someone passed my room to go toilet (say they didn’t know where the toilet was and got lost), was gonna knock my door to ask me where the toilet was, then heard that shriek. What do you think they’ll think?

I’m guessing most would think you’re playing a game or watching tv and knock on the door.

The shriek is fine. You can mute the sound if it bothers you.

I actually lol whenever I hear that shriek when going through Ulduar for some reason or another.

same here. dunno what it is, but i feel compelled to /lol every time i killed her. xP

that’s something i haven’t done in ages now…i kinda gave up with Ulduar and ICC, due to the fights bugging out on me…that and getting the exact same loot, week after week is a bit disencouraging to say the least.

Then turn your volume down lol. Blizzard is not going to change their game files just in case someone happens to be playing in a public space with out headphones lol

What will they think?

That you get rid of the bodies of your murder victims super fast, like magically fast.

If you’re playing with sound on in a public place (or watching a video/listening to music/etc) , I wouldn’t think any less of you from hearing a woman screaming…because I already think of you in the lowest way imaginable. Seriously, put some headphones on.

My goodness. Here’s what I said:

Did I say I played in public? No. It was just an IF. I was just worried what people who don’t play WoW might think if they heard that voice. Could be in public (unlikely) or could be in my next possible scenario (check my post about a guest overheard it outside my room). I admit, it was a poor scenario, but wow, can’t believe that’s what people focuses on. Wow.
