Test Server Feedback

Sorry, my bad. There wasn't any "new" racial music, because it's also can be found in current EVE Inferno client, but still I can't remember it's being used somewhere in the game. Those files are: 62735323.ogg, 424592462.ogg, 500089399,ogg, 764451210.ogg in res/audio folder (they can be fixed for audio player with ww2ogg utility).

Frightening "zero_cluster" sounds are still new though.. Maybe they somehow related to Dust 514.

DP should be careful that the other danish actors from his time does not come back from the dead, I'm talking PK, KP and so many of the other acronyms around, they should have had a DCU in time.

I'll just leave this right here...

This is ******* awesome
How could I have missed this


Sweet! Can't wait get ominous/dread feeling in here

This reminds me of X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter, where your audio gave you feedback of enemy / allied reinforcements entering the scene, being pursued, having shot down an enemy and what not. Would love to have this kind of audio in Eve, sounds awesome

Like the new large hybrid turret sounds.

Don't like the fact that warp sounds change. Seems odd to here a different sound each time you warp. Perhaps a different sound per ship class (frig, cruiser, capital) would be better.

i was on duality today and checked out the new weapon sounds.

at least for small - large projectiles, small lasers and small hybrids.

small hybrids are spot on. the sounds reflects what you expect and every turret sounds distinct, but not too different from his bretheren. i like it.

small lasers are good but some tweaks would be nice.
they sound a little bit to much like an artillery, even the pulses. overall the bang is very prominent but the "swooshing" kinda drowns in the bang. maybe tune down the bang a bit and make the swooshing more prominent.
pulses could so better in promoting the multiple-shot-nature, while beams just need a louder and longer swoosh.

projectiles
as i use them the most, im kind of picky here ^^

each small autocannon (125; 150; 200 mm) were distinct but in a odd way. they seem to use the old sounds with a new sound on top which was the same for every three turrets. i promoted the autocannon nature quite well but the new sound peace always seemed to be "out of place".
the small arties were not distinct from each other. they sounded the same and they sounded like autocannons. there were multiple "bangs" for each round fired. kind of destroyed my picture of these arties. sorry :(

for the medium autocannons; dual180mm was distinct from 200mm and 425mm with the two latter sounding excatly the same. the dual180mm hat its old sound underlayed with one of them new sound thingies, this actually merging. i liked this one. the 200/425mm sound was also good, but missed the multiple bangs. it sounded like one shot, not a autocannon spewing bullets. are distinct sound for either 200 or 425mm would be nice. opposite to the small autos, the new sound peace (simulating the mechanic parts of the cannon?) merged quite well.
medium arties. same issue as with the small arties; the caliber were not discriminable. additionally i missed some oumph. maybe take this sound as basis for the small arties or keep them for the mediums (with more oumph) and give the small ones a more mortar like "faoummh!PPP"

Large autocannons. they got the bass part right but again missing the multiple shot style. without it, there is just no autocannon feeling. it feels wrong when there is flashy muzzle fire and only one "rums"
large arties; the 1200mm was buggy. it was shooting only from one barrel and had no sound whatsoever.
1400mm was overall good but someone stole its thunder. maybe its just me but when a 1400mm goes off there should be the feeling of a nuclear explosion which propells a bullet with the mass of a small car towards my enemy.


in general, the size progression should go hand in hand with more and deeper bass. on top of that autocannons should have some frequency progression with the smalles going like "ratatatatatatata" uzi-style or even the roaring sound to be witnessed in one of the linked youtube videos. something that indicates the high firing rate, and as the caliber grows bigger the frequency should somewhat slow down, ending at 800mm which just goes "bangbangbangbang!" like a modern FLAK cannon.

a cool gimmick for arties would be some sort of reload sound, the cycle time is for sure long enough^^

keep up the good work ;)
i guess overcoming the "eve has sound"-stigma is hard work

i would need 3 seperate pairs of pants at the same time to contain the magnitude of boner if tachyons made that kind of noise

New Large lasers sounds are awesome Autocannons and hybrids too.

Warp sound is crap or bugged, but im sure it will be fixed

Just turn the volume of the music down to 0 for now.
There will at some point be an option just to "turn off", but setting the volume to 0 solves the issue.



Yea, that's been thought of, though to begin with it was just a test of how much it could be tweaked as having a single sonic thud whenever entering warp isn't good, but changing it depending on ship size is an option, but that comes down to some coding issues, which I don't know when will be fixed, it's up to another department.



Sounds like there is a bug in the system. they are not too short from my end and of course, are not supposed to, they should fit the shot animation.

One thing though, to the youtube vid posted here, as on how sounds are in other games, all those sounds are of continous fire, all the guns in EVE are single fire.
