Are Drones supposed to have such loud guns?

Seriously.

I DONT CARE WHAT YOU PLAY, JUST PLAY IT LOUD!

Ah, yes, I find that it's easy to pick when I have drones on the field. Ship weapons tend to have odd sound envelopes. Try panning around an Oracle when firing Mega Pulse II.

But all my projectile drones are named George.

Curators go "Zeeeuppp! Zeeeuppp!"

Gardes go "Kerunn-kerunng!"

Seriously though. They are extremely loud. Is there a setting to reduce the sound from Drones alone?

No. I think the closest option is "world", but don't quote me on that.

Really? Would your ship's weapon fall under another category? Because I "think" I've got World set high because I thought it involved various "space sounds" when flying about. If it also affects Drone weaponry that would explain it.

Drones are using the sounds from XL guns that would only be fitted to Dreads.

Yes it is dumb.

Current fix is to turn off sound.

They seriously do need a real Sound Engineer to just go in and overhaul the whole in-game sound coding. I'm not even Brit but I can only say "it's right 'orrid".

I hate the sound my hobgoblins and hammerheads make. They go WOOOOOOOM, which sounds more like a plumbing malfunction than a weapon firing.

I agree most of the weapon sounds in the game need an overhaul.

There is one sound effect in battles that sounds like a cross between a vaccum cleaner and Godzilla but I haven't figured out yet what it is

i do not understand why that other game with robots and 10 devs at max has really neat weapon sounds while those in eve sound like well what they sound :P

i never really bothered until i recently found the sound on switch tho...still would be nice to have them done right one day.

Not jsut the sounds themselves, but the volume balances and......god, just everything.

Probably where you lay your priorities as a company or the knowledge you have in-house.
EVE's sound is notorious with its players hence the very old meme, which I won't repeat here. :)

The music tough is great!

sure i mean a few years back i didn't knew even 1 person who was playing eve with sound on. the performance hit for these odd sounds were just a no go :) this has changed a lot as far as i can tell.

yet from what i can recall (had a long brake) the weaponsounds were changed yet they are still bad or were not done right. overall i started to enjoy playing with sounds a while ago, yet i have to wonder about the weaponsounds a lot :P with a few hundred devs there should be a few for good sounds in house i'd guess...i mean the music is nice after all.
