Serious question. I haven’t played rogue for awhile so I’m just noticing. I’m leveling one and the really iconic Cheap Shot sound effect is gone, replaced by something that sounds like I missed my attack (woosh sound).
WHY? It was literally one of my favorite things about rogues since I’ve started this game all those years ago. That iconic sound. You would hear it when a rogue opened up on you and KNOW it was a rogue. Also now Cheap Shot uses the fist attack animation? Looks horrible too.
I’m incredibly disappointed, I might end up not even playing a rogue anymore.

Had to switch characters to check but yeah, this sound appears to have been removed, I’m not sure what the motivation to do this would be.
Not sure if it’s enough to do this but I was pretty disappointed to see that you weren’t wrong.

I made a weak aura that plays the old Cheap Shot sound effect over the whoosh sound that we have now. Another example of Blizzard fixing something that wasn’t broken.

If this sound effect was the only reason to play a rogue, I say quit. plenty of rogues left.
He didn’t even come close to saying he was going to quit the game over it.
Dude, take your trolling elsewhere.
Quick edit there, nice.

ok, dude, i will keep it in mind dude.
thanks dude
Anytime brah. You’re my guy man. I wouldn’t want you to make a donkey of yourself trying to spin a tale.
It was a decently offensive sound, I’m not mad that it was changed. Just like the old gun sounds that hunters had, they didn’t need to sound like that. I prefer the way that things are now and I appreciate that Blizzard is moving in a direction where we can all enjoy the game to its full potential.
All they had to do with guns was not have a blast on auto attack. But having a blast on abilities was fine to me. Now they don’t make any noise and it’s distracting.
The motivation is to completely undo what the founders created. The big egos of this Dev team want to make their mark on the game.

The sound for Cheap Shot was too expensive. $$$

Well for starters it was attached to an attack. It definitely wasn’t a defensive sound.
I mean it was more of a utility ability sound. Neither defensive nor offensive. A fairly neutral sound.
Nothing can be said about Cheap Shot that can’t also be said about the Swiss in WW2.
