Hi there,
Just wanted to see wether people's still wanting a laser sound revamp. I remember them having a powerful hissing noise on impact and a vibrating buzz on shooting, but since Retribution they sound... little powerful, like coming from an old sci-fi film. There's a (long time locked) topic still around, from where those sound revamps took place, I red several times, and it seemed like the overall opinion was a want, although it has passed a long time since that and we didn't got any CCP news about it.
So the question would be: is there the intention to revisit laser sounds in the near future? CCP, you made an awesome job with that sound revamp (projectiles and turrets sound powerful and I'm loving ship and planet ambients), but I have to say lasers got the least good of it, and many people (used to) have the same opinion.
It's quite sad for me, as I'm leaning towards laser boats, and they feel like lacking the punch I knew of them. I remember once in SiSi fitting a full rack of large pulses on an Apocalypse and shooting them un-grouped, wich lead to an awesome POWOWOWOPOWOWOWOPOWOWOWO (sorry but I had to)... Now, the same sounds like prrtznnnprtznnprrtznn. Hell, I watched some DUST 514 vids with laser rifles and those sounded as they should: a ttzzzznnnnnrrrssssskkkkk between an energy thingie and a circular saw, eroding its way through everything.
So what do you say? CCP? I suppose most of us are still wanting some kind of a come back to the old |

I used to love them because they sounded so cool.
Now, they sound, well, pathetic and underwhelming.... Even Large lasers.  |

Yeah I totally agree. They sound like former shadows of themselves. Beam lasers used to sound awesome, and pulse had awesome effects also. Now, well just they kind of like an echo of what they were. 
CCP, please have a look at these for Rubicon!  |

I heard al lot of very frequently used stock sound effects when using lasers, specifically the impact hit of medium lasers, sound like some kind of plastic/aluminium being crunched in. Capital lasers too, when they fire they you can hear that that, explosion/recharge kind of audio, halfway in the animation. Maybe you weren't done yet with laser audio?
What I also miss from current turrent audio is that they don't synch in the impact and firing, for example, when you fired from a 425mm repeating artillery, you'd hear 5 rounds being fired, and when you were on the impacting side, you could hear 5 rounds hitting you. Now it's all in one woosh.
I really miss that, little bit of depth there gone from the game.
Also could you make it easier to extract sound effects? .wem is killing me. |

this won't be done for Rubicon.
and it's not my decision to change these.
By the way, I know a lot of you want to change these - but it was kind of funny reading all the comments on the new turret sounds, as it was always quite obvious which turrets people normally used and which they didn't.
it was usually like:
"lasers sound fine"
"hybrids sound fine"
"Projectiles, can't be explained unless writing a five page essay about it"
or any other type of turret. it was actually quite weird to figure out which was actually the one people liked or didn't like.
and we received quite a few mails, from people loving one and hating others - so we had no consistent player guideline as to these should be changed or not.

Never have, probably never will fire zee lazoooooors but I love how descriptive the people above have tried to be with the "sound effects".

Light don't make sound when it bounce of you, technically laser is light. So the last thing you want is to hear the beam. The sound of working machinery is like humming of a large transformer and the sound effect isn't impressive: http://www.wykop.pl/link/1455053/wypalarka-laserowa-cnc/
So its already too much what we have today in the game.

I know in-game laser sounds have nothing do to with reality, but I can't stop thinking about how lasers used to sound awsome!
The Large Tachyons had that distinctive almost a mechanical sound to them and it was great watching and listening Corpus Apostle's batteries fire (I even liked the animation better than what we have now) - also, Dual Heavy Pulse Lasers had both a great animation and an epic sound to them (2 salvos of pulsating beams of energy fired in quick succession, with a corresponding sound to both salvos).
I don't know what to think about hybrids in general - they now have a pew-pew-ish sound, but 425mm rails sound more like some type of artillery to me *shrug* |

Yes, yes, the whole sound in a vacuum...but the is EVE and WTF, EVE has sound!?! lol. Think outside of the box on this one. If it was true to reality we'd have no funky MWD drive noises and I love that sound!

Actually I had dream of lasers shooting in space and they made sound, that was really bass, low, oscilating to the bone sound (something like wobble) for large green beam of light, and the ship shooting it resembled Jove design. Then all went dark and I was no longer sleeping.

For laser sounds please look at:
1) Homworld 2 beam weapons.
2) Freespace 2 beam weapons.
The great part of those sounds was an "interlude" when the energy was gathering before shot and then there was a powerful strike like a jet engine on afterburners.
I would also like to see a chnge to how pulse lasers animation looks. I mean I know they need to "pulse" but their modulated beam just looks like cr*p. |

I'd believe the only way to get a real proper sound out of those is to
delegate all the decisions to one person with exceptionally good taste
regarding sound effects.
My opinion, can't really judge the sounds themselves, just that an apocfleet sounds roughly like squeezing a shampoobottle.

Freespace 2 energy weapons had the best sound ever for that type of weapon.

For EvE world;
It is not the light making sound, it is the machinery amplifying the laser to a very strong levels and unleashing it to a specified point, from the fantasy point of view. I like the FS2 sounds as it fits perfectly to this. Just for example: http://youtu.be/tOTnv8wfjno |

Yeah will always remember the power down noise those heavy beam cannons make after they fire. Its just so totally right sounding for those type of weapons. |

You guys getting caught up over 'what' is making the sound are all wrong
The capsule is creating sound for the pilot the same way it creates sound for ship explosions to give the pilot grounding in space. Because of this it can sound however it wants..no-one is 'correct' .
You will never get a sound 100% of the community likes unless you put in 30 sounds to choose from and let us choose. I personally have no issue with the current sound |

Large Hybrids, and well turret graphics in general are awful
But in particular, I think all gun sounds need a full review.
When I fire a rack of Large Hybrids, if I'm zoomed into my ship, I want my whole house to shake with the thunder of guns that massive. Think like modern day battleship guns... massive punch in a tiny window. I WANT TO FEEL THE BOOM... |

Can I just say I miss the old 1400s sound?
They used to sound like a mighty god slamming his powerful hammer against the universe's existance with the wrath of 1000 demons wrapped all together (in short: epic, loud and powerful).
Now they sound like a jehova's witness is knocking at my door with his fist to tell me about the "good news". (In short: terrible).

I don't see large hybrids doing this. 1400mm arties.. YES. Those need to sound like the full battleship broadsides going off. Railguns don't have the traditional boom associated with gunpower explosions. Rails use magnetic fields to propel the projectile bolt. Hybrids should have a charging/capacitor sound before some kind of higher pitched firing sound as the bolt leaves the barrel/rail.
Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |
