[Wizzly_Bear]

It's way too freaking loud.

It's way too freaking loud.

I'm sorry, but did you say something about changing the background sound effects? I'm having a hard time concentrating at the moment because the deafening sound of lava has left me a little dizzy.

I've only noticed this in one location (Mt Reysalon, near shrine), but by god it's loud!

Inside Pop as well...I wasnt expecting it and the poor caster died while i was trying to turn down volume

Noticed it in Mt Reysalon also, could definitely be toned down.

I had to turn effects down low enough that I am missing all my tells because I can't hear the "ding".

[VirieSquichie]

If by noticed you mean 6 voices in chat moaning in pain (almost inaudibly because the lava noise was far louder than the people, despite a 1.00 to .01 difference on the sliders) then yes I've noticed.

[Jondallar]

naw its a nice immersive touch. tough to communicate in a lava field or a cauldera

[gfunk]

found it painfully loud.. and my volume setting are super low. Similar experiences in pop and mt reyselon, though no one died.

[Justan]

Don't do it Turbine, for if you do you shall be once again accused of catering to the whiners - you know, similar to the ones who said that the Kobolds in the first quest were too hard and they had a hard time advancing to Stormreach...

Play on!

It's also tough to keep playing late at night when you've managed to anger your spouse cause they can hear said lava field or cauldera eminating from your headset from 2 rooms away.

Please!

were you able to shut off the noise? short of turning the volume down directly on my computer i could find no way to turn this noise down. I tried each individual slider.

[Solmage]

It was a bit TOO loud and painful.. immersive? Perhaps. Annoying as hell? YES!

I couldn't even cast because I tossed my headphones aside as I scrambled with audio settings.. which apparently have no effect on this particular sound. And so my party kinda died a bit =)

(luckily I was invisible in stealth mode to ambush the enemies, so I eventually killed them headphone-less, and yet my ungrateful party was not appreciative of my effort! )

[Vengenance]

The lava is ear splitting, I had to remove my ear phones just to be able to play. Either fix it, or give us the option to turn down this effect.

[Strykersz]

There are a number of sounds in the game that play way louder than other comparable sounds. A good example is that spike trap in the west wing of necro.

[Wizzly_Bear]

necro-ed bc it still isnt fixed.

playing fine and then you run by lava in mount reysalon or pop fire room in pop and it blows your ears out unless you mute the sound. pls fix this.

[Deathseeker]

Just what we need, another "Nerf" thread...now we're Nerfing the lava...




And yes, Im kidding and totally agree...the lava sound is horrid...

[EddieB_TBC]

oh yeah inside PoP... my god I couldn't hear voice from the rest of the party for like a minute after we cleared that room... didn't used to be that way. 8(

Prison of the planes fire room.

I have to mute my speakers since the last time sounded as if it was going to blow them!
