Airships give Bad "Apocalypse Now" feeling

[Tyger22]

I'm sure all the big guilds are enjoying the airships but, the marketplace sounds like helicopters buzzing everywhere. I keep feeling like I need to duck or yell incoming. I don't think a DnD world should sound like an airport. It is very distracting and irritating. The marketplace is the only place I've been so far, so I hope it is not as bad everywhere. I use headphones to get away into my ddo world not live in a landing zone. Please turn down the airship sound effect or even better mute it all together or a least please let us have an option to mute it under options. Other sound effects are important for game play so I don't want to mute everything but might have to outside dungeons...how frustrating eeewwww Thanks for your time.

You laugh now, but when someone dumps the latrine bucket on your head you'll sing a different tune! And we have Half Orcs coming....

Latrine? We changed that in the 9th century.

I thought the deluxe versions came with their own portable hole....

I agree with the OP.

I was in House P earlier and the sound bothered me so much that I made the following post http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=258975 while in-game. First time I've ever done that.

I agree. the mehcanical humming sound of the airships is quite annoying.

I also was miffed by the buzzing/humming sound in House P, while waiting outside Church and the Cult. it wasn't until i was in the marketplace hearing teh same sound that i swung my camera around and saw an airship above my head! Then it all clicked.

Do. Not. Want.

Airships are great and all, but that is one hideous background noise!

Interesting, my sound settings are below 10% (to hear voice chat better) so i barely noticed the sound of airships, gonna have to check how it is with them at full.

sounds of helicopters is perhaps not the best sound to put into a game...


think of all the vets that play...
now how many of them have ptsd or other issues

i fully love the vets and what they do and done, but even minor things can cause issues...

helicopters is one of them

The noise is especially annoying because I have a subwoofer, and it vibrates the floor when traveling through the market.

While we are on sound effects, why the wussification of Lightning Bolt?

See I told you! Now I have proof! The devs will tell you they are "birds" or something, but I wouldn't believe them any more than I would the government in a UFO sighting! I got yer swamp gas right here! Its all good fun until someone gets it in their eye! Well, at least we know what the long trails are for now.
