Has anyone else noticed that CCP removed the really neat sound effects that the ship engines made when using the MWD and AB? After this new rubicon 1.1 crap, there is no longer any propulsion sounds....

I know many eve players have zero imagination and play completely zoomed out and with the sound off, but those of us who like to get into a game and have a thought process beyond the level of a brick actually enjoy those types of additions.

So whats the deal? Anyone else notice this, and is it a bug or intentionally removed?

Hadn't noticed because I'm one of those, what was it, zero imagination people with the thought process of a brick, I guess.

Ah well, if there has to be labels that's as good as any.

Why play a game like that? No sound? No effects? No graphics? Zoomed all the way out? I dont even get the concept of how anyone gets any enjoyment out of that at all. But I dont want to get off topic

I saw a dev post somewhere stating they removed all the extra sounds because of the bad reception it had during release.

Because you get a much better tactical overview with the, um, tactical overlay view.

I didn't even know there WAS a sound effect for prop mods tbh.

I swear, it is the playerbase that is slowly killing this game. The core eve fanbase refuses to have any flavor added to the game. They complain and cry and riot if anything interesting gets added, until CCP removes it.

Honestly, if your entire gameplay experience is summed up with no sound and completely zoomed out, never looking at the breath taking visuals and sci-fi world/effects that make eve what it is, then you are not experiencing even close to what the game has to offer. This new generation has literally had imagination beaten out of them

Do you PvP? You tend to concentrate on other information streams.

My graphic settings are all turned to the lowest possible as well to reduce lag at explosions etc. Just thought I'd add that...

Those sounds sounded horrible. I run Eve with the sound on, and a MWD on a frigate sounded like you were powering up a pod racer. I'm sorry but it was ridiculous and about 200% louder than anything else in the game.

Glad they're gone. I'm not against new sound effects but when you're cribbing from Starwars wholesale you're just an uncreative jerk.

maybe because you lack imagination ?

the funny thing about your rant is, its allmost true, if only you reverse it.
the fact that people can find pure enjoyment in EVE without sound and beeing zoomed all the way in on their shiny ships,
would kinda dictate that, that is the crowd with the imagination,
and YOU as a part of the "new generation" as you put it, are the ones that need "breath taking visuals and sci-fi world/effects" shoved down your throat to enjoy the game.

PLEASE, your high horse, get off it...

Its not an exploit, if the game lets you do it...

I'm not. I actually liked them.

I'm not going to cry about this ofc. But I will miss them.

Not sure if true or not, but if it is CCP is being CCP again, f***ing with subjective things directly instead of making an option... As always.
