Scepter noise

[Pyriel.4370]

I’d agree, especially when quickness is involved. Just swamps the sound. Main AA is also not that varied. Slow travelling orbs are not great as they can have someone jump in the way e.g a mob you aren’t targeting can get hit. 

[Kulvar.1239]

That sound hurt my brain. It's headache inducing.

And there's no keybind to mute the game when you switch to scepter.

I don't understand why, after years of asking, ANet did nothing.

Even no sound effect would be better than the current one.

[adrunkmunkey.6059]

Yes please. And while we're at it, change revenants main attack sound for... Like all of the weapons. I keep hearing scepter everytime I attack with that class.

Legends say that once you still hear the noise after turning off the PC & going to bed, you are a true Guardian main. It has to burn itself into your soul

I literally only saw the title and I heard the sound.

[Solstice.5790]

Gotta agree with this.

I play Scepter on secondary weapon as you do as CFB, and as soon as those auto attacks go off I look at the cooldown to swap back.

The sound is just obnoxious and annoying, and I'm still not 100% convinced I couldn't simply out-walk the projectiles. If I knew where they're going...

 

Could definitely use a rework.

Another sad guardian(willbender) here. 😐

Today I bought the super scepter skin( https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Super_Scepter_Skin https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Super_Scepter) hoping that the sound will change but its the same 😔. I don't know if this is a bug or normal. I don't even know if the sound can be changed with another skin, like hardlight scepter one (from what I see here

 the sound is changed.) because I don't want to spend ~60g for nothing 🤔. Please change the sound Anet! (●'◡'●)

Edit: Can someone confirm that the hardlight scepter changes the scepter autoattack?

I think that's the Specter sceptre default noise though tbh.

Just generic comment to show support of idea change sound of scepter 1 with something more silent.

Absolutely agreed.

[Guyver.1426]

Guard's scepter just a mini game for their enemies to evade balls in wvw or pvp.

[Artyport.2084]

Change the fix too.

someone called it a creepy sperm and its accurate 

[Guyver.1426]

I can’t understand why it has 900 range.  Isn’t it so op therefore range decreased? Definitely NO. Single target aaa and flying slowly.

Remove the orb and make it work like necro scepter. Just hits the enemy as soon as I swing it. Call it magic claw

Replace the orb with one of the fists from the symbol so the auto attack is a magic fisting

[SlateSloan.3654]

+ i support this.

anet please get rid of this *shring, shring, shring, shring, shring, shring...*

"Hardlight weapons are a set of weapons obtained from Super Adventure Box. All weapon skins have faint particle effects when wielded and a trail, and faint sound effects during attacks"

They just add a tiny little something to the regular sound.

And judging by the wiki page for weapons with unique sounds , scepter users are screwed (Aurene skins maybe?).

[Luna.6203]

I don't want to be mean but i'll be..

 

This thread is perfect example that feedback from forum is "trash folder" .. nobody cares. How hard it can be to change sound effect ? Or even less just reduce volume.

 

Look how old this thread is.. how a super small chance would make people happy and yet nothing.. Its shame..

 

I saw video recently one of the famous gw2 youtuber how anet listen community.. You have to be youtuber or submit ticket or i don't know.. but talking on forum means nothing. Or that annoying sound is intended so no fix.

 

Sorry for rant .. scepter is not popular weapon anyway.. not a big deal. Still shame. Only useful part of this forum is players helping players.

[Kulvar.1239]

Maybe if we spam steam reviews with it, ANet would care to take a look at it...

The complete disregard is appalling.

[plouch.1054]

This sound effect has been the same since beta, according to a video uploaded 10 years ago. I think it's time we change it. It's really just awful.

[Gehenna.3625]

I play at low volume and even I find it annoying.

[Thorne Templar.6784]

Agreed, this is a very outdated design that is very deserving of a rework. Since we've seen similar things happening to weapons like Ele's scepter and Engi's rifle, I really hope Guard's scepter can get some love too.

  "Be careful with what yiou wish for, it might just come true". Engineer's rifle got an amazing buff in both auto attack speed and dps, then ANet backpedaled. Now the damage is decent but the fire rate is so slow and so annoying to hear and play that I entirely ditched my two engies and their only function now is alt parking and muling stuff for the characters I really play.
