Upgrading Sound Effects in Eve online

Hello CCP,

I am wondering if there are any plans of upgrading the sound effects in the game specially the weapons.

I think the missile launchers are not that bad, but the lasers, turrets e.c.t. really sound like from an Amiga
commodore game from the 70's.

I thought since you've been working on Dust 514 you must have a brand new stock of weapon sounds, and i saw a video showing that you guys are also working on new animations for ship explosions.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a real "badaboom" going on if a ship explodes.

I mean i think all this kinds of sounds could be much more intense and loud. That would probably bring a whole new feeling to the game.

What do you think?

Agree.

Also, using the actual ship models (twisted and bent out of shape) instead of some metal-girder wreckage would be nice - its about time that happened! I wanna see a Caracal with a broken neck ;D

Sound, like, many things in EVE, requires an update and possible overhaul.

Changing/updating sound effects would indeed be welcome. Especially on the weapons. On the other hand some of the changes they've done in the past weren't that successful if you ask me, stargates for example, the sound quality of the new effect is better, but the impact it has is a lot less. They used to be more impressive.

In this dark void we are like brilliant stars, holding within us both the creative and destructive power to bring a new dawn upon worlds or plunge them into eternal darkness.

Eve has sound?


On a more serious note I do agree with you.

GM Homonoia: In other words; feel free to use the tactic, but don't be an utter and total ***.

I think the sound and particle effects in general could use a nice upgrade, they probably haven't really been touched since 2003. I was looking at the gate fire effect, and that could really be prettied up a bit.

Drunk fleet best fleet!

OT: If nothing else, increasing the range that you hear the weapon sounds would be a good start. It seems I have to zoom in pretty close to hear any of the action.

Yes Yes YES!
I came here thinking of opening a thread saying just this - turret sounds are boring.

After the turret animation over-haul, please over-haul the turret sounds. The lasers especially sound meh,

Agreed, sound is pretty lackluster. Turret sounds especially. Hybrids are especially awful. My step-dad makes deeper, more intimidating sounds in the bathroom at Thanksgiving.
