EVE General Discussion

Dont like the new pulse laser sound either. Much to weak.

And we need option to dactivate and activate any single of the new UI sounds. I like some of them, but they are destroying the space feeling.

The production quality of the new weapon sounds is very good. However, I agree that the sounds themselves don't fit the feel that has been established for so long. Onomatopoeia ahead.

The lasers especially remind me of the change that was made to stargate sounds, which changed the gatefire sound from ERRRRRRRRR-BWAM to fwosh. It's a change that makes the world of EVE sound padded and soft and just... not harsh.

Pulse lasers have now gone from BA-DANG-DANG-DANG to fa-dup fa-dup, and beams have gone from FREEEEEEM to kdeshhh.

As I said I like the quality of the sounds, but I hope you can understand why this feels like quite the long jump in sheer feel of the weapons.

Projectiles and hybrids I quite like, but I haven't used them much in my career before. I especially like the blasters, but like the lasers the railguns also sound padded and fuzzy.

Lol i was going to post this video too.

Birgirpall makes some entertaining videos

I can only quess that is very hard to made enjoyable sounds efects for mass like for 200-300.000 EVE subscribers, its realy hard to define how SF - sound can be (in fact SF stuf never exist in real word , that why we call it SF ;) - we can only imagine how laser or hibrid guns may sound etc) but dont worry CCP RealX guys like you made EvE unique and cool. Thanks for old and new sounds even some of them are far away form perfect. Personaly im fan of old juke box and old sound in game, for me EvE always got sound.

The laser sounds are indeed lacking, they're not "techy" enough and they lack a sort of bombastic quality. I've tried several different ones and they're just "wrong", it's not because they're different from the original and thus I don't like them but it's actually because it's a step backwards.

They need a complete redoing and I honestly don't understand how the person in charge of this part of the expansion could have given his OK to this.

the new turret sounds are pathetic. some just sound like static others sound like someone beating a tin can.

I'd have to say that second explosion sound when a ship dies (the one that sounds like someone slamming a door shut in an echoing room) is annoying. Especially when you have multiple clients open and on grid. It doesn't even get much quieter when you are zoomed out.

Please remove that sound.

Also, the AC's now kinda sound pathetic. Like paintball guns or like an SMG.

I HATE all of the new laser sounds.

I love this game and I love this patch and you guys continue to impress me but the new lasers are the worst thing that has ever been done ever. They now sound like people making synthesized fart sounds with their mouths. I was in a L4 Sanshas mission and it was absolutely terrible.

I always felt that mega pulses could have used some more oomph but everything has been ruined for me.



Again, phenominal patch and the Corax is the best looking ship ever made, but you ruined lasers for me.

I say keep the new sounds but let us put in our own via an upload or something. All the weapon noices would then be turned into various profanities for me. Or I would just voice in my own BANG BANG BANG for them.

best idea


replace artys with tourettes guy or something
