A request to delevopers

[gcaldani]

Please,

give us to old (original) environment sounds, before GF did the crap decision to lower everything to solve the kipee sound issue.

Please,

fine tune Kipee sounds to be less annoying BUT give us back the old feeling...

Please,

Atys was really less 'living' after that change...

I agree. The envrionment sounds are one of the reasons I always had my sound on high.

I actually liked the loud Kipee. It felt real, as if I was really standing next to a giant crap Kitin.

I totally want the old sounds back

I love polls, saves me the hassle of having to write out a post

Yeah, I voted, then noticed the 2 people that voted before me hadn't left a response, so i felt obligated to respond

Definitely want the old sounds back....but wait...will we even get the old game back?....do these polls even matter?...
Anyway for all its worth, yes the old sound was great, indeed kipees were too loud but other than that it was perfect and i would really like to have it back the way it was....hey there's no harm in dreaming is it? in the end thats what mmos are all about, right?

Uhm, just for the record, it was still under Nevrax when the Kipee where muted. Only a very short time before GF.
AND they did it because of just such a poll (if a bit too much, granted.)

And yes, I want their sound back too.
I´d prefere a 50% setting, so to say.
It was a much quiter time after the muting, but something was definitely missing.

And as far as I understood it those "idle movements/reactions" of all mobs and Characters were somehow linked. So especially the females would return to sneezing a bit more often if the mobs would roar more frequently. Maybe its some sort of allergic reaction

Totally want the old noisiness back. I kinda liked standing at the greenseeds camp listening to the kipee roar, sneezing my head off and getting eaten by the gingo and ragus! Was most awesome, after the mute sometimes was almost like there were no kipee there.
When can we come home then?

The sounds where great including the Kipee but they just roared far too much for my liking. I ended up playing the game with no sound simply because Kipees where too often too vocal. I'd turn my sound back on and it would be a whole new world... that was until the Kipee started chewing my ear off and I would reluctantly check the mute box.

Would love to get the old sounds back, including the kipees. I remember the first time I heard then on the old newbie island. I was shocked and frightened with the sound those huge crabs made

Wouldnt it be possible to make a slider for the environment noises? That way everyone can chose as he likes...

Restore the frequency, but provide an alternative kipee sound that is quieter and less obtrusive in general. Players can then check a box in their sound settings to determine whether this alternate sound file is used or not.

I don't know whether that would be simpler/easier than providing separate volume sliders for different types of sounds (i.e. environment, homins, creatures, and kipee). If it is, I'll settle for it. If not, I would very much prefer the sliders, as many current, future, and past players likely would.
