    Dear Community!

    Everyone can have annoying sound elements especially muont sounds - bear, troll, dog, etc. and also emotes -especially at pvp : laughing emote, dance to annoy us.

    Suggestion is to create a deeper sound setting panel with selection marks, any item that has a significant sound could be mark out so you will not hear them, the client ignores it. I know this can be a long list, but :)

    sexondly: deactivate to display other players emote -laughing emote etc. The players can start their emotes , but who deactivates for ex lauging emote from the list, will not see it, just see the other player standing.

    The aim is to have a relaxed game feeling in towns without disturbing noises, but allow favourite ones. And also with some annoying emotes which could be turned off.

    I don't care. I listen to something else while playing the game - and "fixing" this will come at the expense of more important things.

    I turned the sound off within a few hours of playing this game, and from what I've read the newer sounds have only gotten worse.

    Not that your idea is a bad thing, but as far as "fixes" go, I would have a few dozen more important ideas to suggest if I thought DSO was listening.

    seeings how no one can find anything using the search bar ill just wright what i think. Their should be a option to turn down pet sounds and mount sounds. i love the music that plays in most urban areas but the troll man. that troll is one of the most spamming goof i ever seen. and the moose is almost the same. i find my self just standing alone rather then listen to that dumb troll. or even the pots and pan pet. man do people just ride these things to anyone others. make a guy go crazy and do not want them in my group. silly eh.

    Also to make that upsetting mini map smaller and tucked to the far upper left of the screen . i see its good for pvp but comeone its practically right in the middle of the screen.

    I haven't played with sound in almost 4 years. Music helps me stay sain with the crop farming. I just couldn't handle all of the repitive effects, especially that gremlin with the pot on its head.

    I use the sounds for PvE and they've proven quite useful in some dire situations, but nowadays staying in Kingshill is torture with all the trolls and moose out there, it's a constant loop of "hoo-hooo-hooo, bleeeeeeegh, hoo-hooo-hooo, bleeeeeeeegh", laughing fit can be heard almost in the whole town, some other emotes like Revenant are almost mute, and among all the roaring from cats, bears, lava hounds, derpy trolls, yelling moose, noisy gremlin pets, the trinkets from the gnomes, the "splat-splat" from the pumpkins and so on, it's a living nightmare, and my sound effect's volume is very low.

    I agree, we can mute all the sounds, but as I said, they're useful for me in PvE and it's a pain to toggle it on/off everytime I hit the town, they can add a box for muting pets, mounts and emotes, according to each one's preference, though we must agree this would be a non-urgent feature, and it might take some time to make it into the game even if it's considered at all.

    its nice to have such great sound quality on a surround sound system and just blast er. when i solo or pvp the sound also proves to be very useful in strategic gameplay. just rather tuning options on mounts and pets. its nice to hear the Sw/Dk/Sm/Ra character sounds of screams and roars even the whimper of a player just about to die, the game has gotten great with the new sound they use on whatever platform. just dont like the spamming of pet and mounts sounds. thus is why many players just play with the sound off. have more sound tuning options and get the player involved deeper with the gameplay then having to sit and listen of annoying mount and pets sounds

    -- MERGED --

    yea that was the first pet and reason why everyone turns off the sound. just spams you crazy.
