Yes, it does. As a matter of fact those of you that play the game mute will not be able to appreciate the time the devs spent working on new weapon sounds.
So far from what I've heard, blasters sound pretty good. Interesting to note that the Ion Blaster Cannon is still my favorite sounding blaster, resembling a similarity to the old Neutron Blaster Cannon which had a very devastating feel to it.
At any rate, I tested out a variety of Pulse Lasers in particular, considering space laz0rz pew pew! I gotta admit I was very unimpressed with the sound, variety and flavors that came from the lasers. The visual effects are muted, the sounds are subdued and they just don't pack that A/V punch that they used to.
I am wondering if anybody agrees with me? CCP, what are your thoughts on the new sounds? Specifically asking people who do play with sound and care about it as a part of the game.
Thanks o/
I'm not impartial since I made the old sounds. I was never happy with the old weapon sound except the projectiles. But we will take a look into this if you are unhappy.
Also I'd appreciate more comments on the new weapon sounds so that we can make one big adjustment rather than many small ones.
Thank you for your thoughts on the matter. |

That doesn't happen anymore.
Yes, we reduced the bass in some sounds recently. |

not a fan of the skill training completion sounds or the weapon flag on/off. somehow i think they should be much shorter. a single small beep would be better imo.
Yes this has been mentioned to us. Like it is now, the sound settings are connected to each user I believe, but we are looking into making it per character, so you can choose which of your client emits which type of sounds, using the ESC-menu. |

What was wrong with the old sounds? Nothing.
If only I'd have some links for you to forum posts with complaints about the old turret sounds. Through the years I've felt that to be the most common dislike with the audio in the game. I may be wrong. |

Funny story. Back in 2001 or 2002 when I started on the old weapon sounds I had a discussion with the Art Director on how the lasers should sound. And the only directive he gave me was. "Not like Star Wars" |
