ok, just a quick response here.
I'm out of the office today and tomorrow.

I have put in some temporary solutions for the wormhole and the MWD "thing" - so it should be bearably from now.
I will, as soon as I get back to Iceland on monday, make a more permanent solution, and make sure that the wormhole ambiance will work as before. (as I just realized a dependency in some of the stuff I used for the temp fix)

The Friday patch did not correct the Wormhole entry sound if the correction was in that patch. I ran one client with "normal" sound levels sitting 11km from the exit. Any closer isn't safe in fact 11km is not safe. Then I ran another client with its sound off and entered and returned through the exit. My listening ship did not hear the entry sound only the normal wormhole background noise. The ship actually entering the exit will hear the wormhole entry sound but not someone at distance e.g. 30 km which is the way it was before Rubicon. Wormhole activities at the present time are not safe for mining, pi or rates. There is absolutely no security.

Still too obnoxiously loud, and all the cutesy little unnecessary sounds are drowning out the necessary sounds. Please nerf.

Edit: ALSO, like the old salvager sound bug, there is an "electronic" sound I think related to jumping stargates that doesn't shut off once activated until you turn the audio off and on again.

I'm looking forward to the patch that fixes this terrible white noise that's constantly in the background. It's unbearable. I hate having to turn all the sounds off, but it's the only way I can play the game atm.

Try 'look at' the wormhole. Audio volume is keyed off camera location.

Personally, I've always prefered to orbit at more like 80km and leave the camera sat on the hole.

exactly.
the sound from the wormhole is in a radius of 100km.
if you are 30 km away and your camera is even further away, making it a total of more, you won't hear a thing.

I can make it bigger, previously it was everybody on the entire grid that would hear it, equally loud. which it shouldn't be like.
If this is about being safe, then you just gotta adapt to new precautions as it can't be that you can just be basically anywhere you want and expect to be warned about jumping through the hole.

If I'm understanding correctly, the AB/MWD sounds are supposed to be very quiet from the front of the ship and then very loud from the back?

I'm mentioning this because I noticed while flying around some Caracal-class hulls (all three versions, actually) that the microphone actually picks up the MWD/AB sound the quietest when you're looking at the ship from one angle, but louder when you're directly in front. To clarify, the first hull was a Cerberus. From the back, the AB sound was loud and clear. All along one side (and also in front) the sound was present, but quieter. Continuing to rotate the camera around the Cerberus, I came to a point where I was looking at the side of the ship from a 90-degree angle and the sound was barely audible - just like you'd expect if I was looking at the ship from the front. A little later I noticed the same thing with a Navy caracal, except the point of quietest sound was in a different spot. For a regular Caracal, the location of quietest prop mod sound had moved again.

Was that clear at all?

I'll go back and test it properly to see if I can figure out anything useful.

If you have to be so close that the (annoying) ambient noise drowns out everything else, then it doesn't really help anything because you're going to turn the volume down anyway. The wormhole activation sound is already quiet and unobtrusive enough that it's easily missed if your drunken corp mate does something stupid and makes you laugh on comms.

Or is this a move to get dedicated single boxing scouts to stare at one screen for hours on end? That'll look great on WH recruitment: "In need of incredibly myopic pilot who never wants to use an alt for anything useful to stare at overview tab for hours on end. Please apply inside." I'm fairly confident in saying that rarely is a scout sitting on a wormhole who doesn't have an alt (or main) doing something else in another window.


Errr, I mean...wait, EVE has sound?

Please get rid of the new AB/MWD elevator-like sound. All you hear in a fleet is VROOOOVRROOOVRROOOOOOVOOOOM VROOOVROOOVROOOOOOM. I don't know how this got passed Sisi. I played rubicon on sisi quite a bit and did not hear this annoying sound.

all i hear is my slow poke gnosis breaking the sound barrier every minit at 326 m/s kinda like a jetfighter flyin at mach 5 flying passt me getting into combat is also the same the sounds starts to crackle and chop up.ive updated my soundcard card drivers no improvement there ive run repair tool no improvement either im about to just delete the entire client and reinstall that also ...if that still dont help ill just have to keep getting into combat without sound at all untill this gets fixed hence my question to readd the option in the escape menu to use the odissey soundpack...wich gave me no issues at all btw and an option to turn ab and mwd off wouldnt be bad either cause as mentioned above in a fleet its all u hear.

Ever since the patch Ive had scratchy like feed back on my sound fx - like there some loose connection - there isnt i dont get this feedback on any of my other applications - i use sound blaster xfi -

could you turn up the music on the new character selection screen please?
it doesn't match the same volume as the rest of the game so you have to turn it up to hear it well and then you log into game and the game is too loud then... you get deafened...

That's the thing. ;) it worked on SISI and on our internal server.
the second it went live on TQ - something odd happened.

Will the MWD and AB sound effect be getting addressed as I'm assuming it will from the above? The sound for the MWD is very much like a metal drill drilling through metal very quickly or nails down a chalk board...the AB noise sounds very much like ungreased gears in a big machine grinding and I fly Caldari so there's no way my machines of capitalist conquest are not well lubricated Both are very loud when you hullface your ship and even when someone is >100km from you.

the bug is that the "loop" itself, fits the ship and booster size. the spin up and down, apparently only fit battleship size - meaning that anything smaller will sound obnoxiously large and a titan actually sounds ridiculously small.

I don't know what sound you are hearing which sounds like gear, but that isn't exactly that sound :D there must be other things going on for it sound like gear, as the AB is "just" some tweaked fire sounds and bursts.

Thanks for the quick reply there CCP WhiteNoiseTrash (are you rivalling CCP karkur on response speeds ?) I'll wait for the loop to be fixed and see if it's this that's causing my sounds to be a bit wonky. It's hard to describe but I could try and record it and post it up if that would help? In fact I'll try it on my laptop and that'll tell me if it's me or everyone . I'll just leave now.

;) good boy. ..

mam. (if that's the case) ;)
