EVE General Discussion

I am playing as usual with a few accounts at the same time and I got this very annoying blurb, blurb, blurb sound all the time, so I have been checking my sound options, active modules and so forth.
Then I deactivated the UI sound and it was gone.
But then I thought: 'hey, if I do that, I wont hear the very important alarm screech of going into low armor or taking hull damage
anymore' - So I researched the source of it further and figured it was the constant awareness sound of not having full armor.

And for an armor tank, that means > ALWAYS

It even increases in repetition the lower you go into armor, just a bit.

And I though 'baehh' and 'well, lets see how it compares against the alarm screech and maybe I can adjust the sound level to be able to hear the screech, but not the blurb"

So I went willingly into hull damage:

HAHA, was I surprised: THERE IS NO WARNING ALARM SCREECH ANYMORE, what we get is a very and I mean very silent shrr, shrr, shrr, shrr ... and I checked my sound level and speaker level a few times to make sure it was not muted.

And not only this, it is also constantly shurring ALL THE TIME I am still not in full hull, which means I get no new warning, if I am hit for further damage because hits are no longer counted, just the state of not being 100%.

Even now, as I am writing, all the blurbs and shrrs from all accounts blurb and shrr, and I have no idea if I am taking damage or not, might blow up any second actually. The warning is gone. If I need a constant reminder of my low armor or hull is, I look down, I need the sound to make me aware it changed, and that is not happening anymore.

So functionality has been perfected to an useless annoyance!

I need the change back. warning sounds were there for a reason, multiple blurb blurb shrr shrr have none.

I hope folks agree with me on this one, otherwise I like to be told "to harden the **** up" ocassionally °°.

What did I just read?

I don't know but it has me laughing.

You could have probably explained that much better and much shorter but I agree with you its very annoying and just rings constantly when you are armor tanking.

TLDR When armor tanking an annoying sound warbles CONSTANTLY

I've been hearing a lot of strange sounds since the update yesterday but no blurbs quite yet, I'll keep an ear out for it.

Yes I did, but that is a mild graphic effect and, since I usually only look down due to the indication of a warning screech, it does snot bother me.

And Yes again, as a shield tank I did not notice it yesterday or today until I hat to get my armor tank out to finish something my shield could not handle. And since I just recently switched to shields and am used to armor tank, this hit me a lot, since it takes a level of awareness or rather a tool for it away and replaces it with an annoyance the leads me rather to turn sound off then utilize it, which can not be the purpose of the change.

And its still going on, since I am looting and salvaging and are still running with hull damage though all armor and shields are repped up or recharged.

No wonder people say EVE doesn't have sound.

CCP unfixing something that wasn't broken... I'm shocked.


No, really. This never happens.

Yes, this is freaking irritating. How can we turn it off?

Please fix it quick!

I too had noticed a horrible whineing sound recently.

Eventually, I muted speakers and discovered it was the wife moaning about the length of the lawns. I dispatched my hammerhead II's on her and fired a salvo of left and right uppercuts. The sound stopped alomst immediately.
