Valisha.8650 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Title. The current sound does not resemble an actual firearm, like, at all. Neither a modern gun, nor a black powder weapon. Believe me or not, but audio aesthetics are just as important as the visual ones, since the playtime on a character can go into hundreds, if not thousands of hours. There is a TON of all sorts of firearms gunshot sounds available online, either for free or costing a small purchase fee. I doubt the cost of making the change would go higher than ~100$ for anet, in return granting us a more pleasing experience. (To be fair I would not mind paying gems for a different sound unlock) Example; 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freya.9075 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I like Aurene’s Persuasion sound. It surprised me first time I heard it. So now all I can do on my mechanist is run around in open world spamming my skills. Even if no mob is there. It’ll probably take a few days before I get tired of doing that 👀 Poor ambient creatures never knew what hit them. yes I should probably go outside and touch some grass now and listen to birds chirping 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When can we start Aurene's Cult that rival Human Gods? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I found out that the crossbow pistol makes thwippp sounds when I finally freed my thief parked at the quaggan jp to get him the hp for Daredevil. So that's another sound option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike Arghast.3856 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Be careful what you wish for. Remember this? Gun sounds aren't great. But they could be worse. Much... much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSD.4673 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Awful animations and awful sounds are what defines pistol and rifle. It's like asking to change guard scepter sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 It's a fantasy world with bouncing rabbit mounts and walking salads. I'm personally glad they don't sound authentic to where I feel like I need to go put in a pair or ear plugs for the range. Pew pew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I never really considered that they should sound differently than they do. I guess that could be ok? I do like the sound of the spent shells hitting the ground, though. Never noticed those until I started playing with a headset. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because something is not exactly realistic, doesn't mean it has to sound like a 10-for-2$ firecracker from Wish, you know. I guess you play with ear plugs in all shooter games?

Yes, it really adds to the real world feel 😉 Lol just hasn't really bothered me in GW2, as it's not intended to be realistic or frankly to even mimic reality. If I am playing a game that is going for historical accuracy or realism, then I expect it to sound like an actual firearm. GW2 I expect pew pew...pop pop.

Khisanth.2948 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 There is a wide variety of ammunition and guns for many different combinations of resulting sounds. The most inaccurate part is the consistency. A coilgun should not sound the same as a flintlock. Then there are the "rifles" that look more like a shotgun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could definitely do better on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
