Yonjuro Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 ....May I present to you, Crickets of Eternity. Oh, so that's the sound I hear when I write a bug report. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reever Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 New meme for the win. I only heard those f.. noises when I tuned in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illathid Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 In the Team Lead Meeting video the posted in the Update yesterday, it was mentioned that all sounds had been normalized at the same level so they could tweak them individually. They also mentioned they wanted that tweeking to be done for today's stream, but I'm guessing it didn't happen.

BAdler Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They are still in the middle of doing the mixing. We didn't have much of a script today so I am not surprised that some of the sounds were way too low or way too high. Luckily, these are easy fixes for us. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheisEjsing Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 @ BAdler. Some people said the city felt kind of empty. Will there be background noise in the final game? The background sounds from BG 2 really made the city come alive. Hope you'll consider that. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sensuki Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) It's not just the mixing that's the issue, you need different volume sliders to control different areas of the sound - one for VO, one for Environmental FX, one for combat sounds - that kind of stuff. I also agree about the lack of background walla/NPC VO callouts. I think they recorded some, but it might not have been implemented or just not very high volume. Those really add a lot to the atmosphere APPLES! APPLES ONE COPPER! Edited January 16, 2015 by Sensuki 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrainMuncher Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Crickets of Eternity. It could be a goofy spin off like how Far Cry: Blood Dragon was to Far Cry 3. I think they could pull it off. Plus now they already have pre made logo art, that's one thing off the to do list already.

Starwars Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I agree, it's something I always tweaked in BGs and I know the barks and combat sounds especially will drive me bonkers in this. It's disappointing. 2 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osvir Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Haha!"Raise the volume", and Josh raised the volume, I raised the volume, and probably a lot of other people raised the volume. No sound still. Then Josh transisted into a new area.CRICKET 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueMenace Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The crickets in the wilderness made that part of the stream so miserable to watch...hopefully they fix the sounds. Calibrating... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The background sounds from BG 2 really made the city come alive. Hope you'll consider that. I hope they do this and it was an issue with NWN IMO...not enough people in the cities and not enough sounds. I want the city to feel alive.

Lephys Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 They could adjust that ambient volume in the mixing, sure... ORRRR they could edit the lore such that all crickets in the realm are the size of Great Danes. u_u Totally an option. 2 Should we not start with some Ipelagos, or at least some Greater Ipelagos, before tackling a named Arch Ipelago? 6_u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karkarov Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I asked Brandon about it and unfortunately the sliders are unlikely to be implemented for this release. Maybe in a patch or expansion. FFS. I've been mentioning it every build since v257. Having all that tied to just "FX" is fine. Most games don't even do that. Case in point triple AAA bad boy look at my PhysX effects Far Cry 4's volume control looks like this. Music on/off..... music volume slider. That's it.

Case in point triple AAA bad boy look at my PhysX effects Far Cry 4's volume control looks like this. Music on/off..... music volume slider. That's it. There's a pretty huge difference, though. In action games, there's really not that much need (or want) to adjust different sliders. Me, I invariably end up turning Voice up a lot, and turn Ambience slightly above music, while turning down the FX (combat sounds, etc). As it is in PoE, I'm not going to be able to do that at all, it'll all end up as a cacophonic mess for me. Having Ambience, Combat Sounds and Voice all baked into "Effects" is pretty damn terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwars Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 In agreement there. I personally would want to turn combat barks off entirely pretty quickly, turning down voiceacting a bit, turning down FX and keeping ambience and music fairly high. In an ideal world.

Flow Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 First thing I turn off in IE games is the character command acknowledgement and selection voices as those start to annoy me real quick. Would be nice to see that option in PE. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndiraLightfoot Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Yeah, in this type of game, such sliders and sound/voice-options are pretty dang important. Here's hoping for a quick patch after it's released then. *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" *** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckmann Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 If it's anything the past couple of posts have shown me, it's that most people have their preferences already made out, they know how they want the sound to work, and we all need sliders to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
