These damn "clicky clicky" sounds just want me to throw my PC thru the window :D

Same dissapointment here

ARE YOU F-ING KIDDING ME?

IF I WANT TO HEAR WORMHOLE STATUS I HAVE TO HEAR STATION SOUNDS???

edit: just not going to play rather than play mad. same **** as scanning changes for no reason.

Please keep the UI Clicks separate from everything else. They drive me insane, and must be muted.
The Locking sounds are key to gameplay, and I want to be able to hear them. Having them tied to the UI clicks is terrible.
Please keep the d-scan sounds separate from everything else. I am constantly spamming d-scan, and the sound is really annoying, so I want to mute it.

Please keep 3rd party warps separate from everything else. They are important to listen to strategically.

Please keep all alarm settings individually controllable (shield separate from armour, separate from hull, separate from capacitor, separate from anything else, for the same reasons listed above, by Klaus Eisenmann.

Cargo doesn't need a sound, i'd rather mute it, but don't really care about it.

Station ambience is at best irrelevant and at worst annoying. Please don't tie it in with anything that affects gameplay.

In short, please keep tactically important or meaningful gameplay related sounds separate and individually controllable, depending on what each player decides they need to hear.

Similarly, please allow players to decide which ambient / UI sounds are annoying, and control them ourselves.

If the issue is CCP dev time spent on updating the user interface for these preferences, then just let players edit a config file. We already edit YAML files to fine-tune our overviews - let us fine-tune our audio cues, please!!

This change is **** i want more options to manage my sound settings not less! When i heard we where getting updated sound settings i thought we would get two or three more pages of advanced settings to use not this rollback to mediocrity.

Gonna xpost a Little Things post i've made for years:

Please upgrade all sliders in the Escape menu so you can click them at any point within their borders, like dscan sliders. Currently you have to precisely click the handle.

Disclaimer: I have no idea how anything works here. I have never once in the years of me playing this game felt the need to use the EVE forums before, until today, that is.


So I logged in half an hour ago to have a look at the new suns, only to find that, curiously, I couldn't hear my warp animation. At first I figured that I had accidentally left the audio turned off, as I sometimes do for more performance in large fights. I was wrong. Turns out that the entire page of advanced audio settings has been deleted, and replaced with a few general basic options.

Why was this not better mentioned, and easier to see?

I heavily used these settings. I needed to have the ambiance low, because the tethering effect of more than 200 ships results in a BRWMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM loud enough to shake the house through my subwoffer, legitimately rivaling the THX theme. I needed the warp animation turned up so I can hear it when people land on gird near me.

I understand wanting to streamline things, and remove unneeded settings, but I would have liked to have known beforehand that this was happening.

So, I turned the atmosphere and ship ambience slider all the way down, and I still hear the Ship Tree noise (that is really annoying), and I hear the ship ambience when i zoom close to the ship. Is that intentional?

It seems like those two are only "fixable" by turning the entire volume down, I can't imagine that being intentional.

Holy hell what the **** ccp. First of all, why did you not give us nearly the amount of time needed for feedback about this. Second, why did you just to simply removing customization options that people were actually using instead of documenting it and adding in information on what it all did. you could've added more information on what sounds are what type and maybe a test feature, but instead you removed it and butchered the attempt at making a similar feature. It used to be simple to tell people new to wormholes to turn one sound way louder than others, or to easily turn off the stupid dscan sound, but now you literally cant without turning off or up a quarter of the sounds in the game, completely defeating the purpose.

And besides, if people didn't use the feature before, why would taking away options and grouping everything together help with that issue at all.

This is big enough for me that I really have no desire to keep playing at the rate I was and I'll let my subs lapse when theyre done. This is ridiculous and a change made for the sake of change that doesn't improve the game in any way, but hinders those that used the game to its potential.

edit: another thing, if most people only have 1 or 2 sliders moved, doesnt that mean that those people want most sounds normal volume but 1 or 2 loud/quiet....not grouped in with 12 other sounds?

Need. To. Mute. UI. Click.

I turned down secondary interfaces too, and I still got the ship tree sound.
