Noisy Creatures

What do you think are the annoying noisy creatues around atys?

I personally hang around Witherling so I have had the pleasure of sharing my land with Kipee.

They are seriously annoying, specially when you are digging around them, those contiuous roaring they do. I myself have died a number of times because I turned down my volume and went Semi Afk while digging, only to have my mine exploded or a aggro killed me because my volume is off.

I just can't stand them next to me, even while hunting. I think I certainly would like them to be muted in the next patch (after all I do not know of any crabs that roar) ;)

Some creatures definitely need the number of times they vocalize reduced. If its just the same roar after roar after roar constantly, it stops being 'ambient' and just gets annoying.

Kippee and Kiban are both high on my list of annoying noises, but ANY of the large herd herbivores get annoying after a while. I just turn off my sound when I have to dig/hunt in those areas.

There's a reason why it was suggested that the herd name for Arana's was "an annoyance of Aranas". :D

Homins in combat are very noisy and annoying creatures as well. >_<

Yah, I'd love it if the 'combat sfx' was on a separate volume slider, so that I can make the screaming stop without having to sacrifice the pretty birdsounds and such too. :)

The kipee and kiban are only laughing because they think the way you forage is hilarious :) Such is life; stick some glue resin in your ears, try a zoraï helmet, and if you still can't take it, join them and laugh :D

As I told you in guild chat earlier today, Arana as the most annoying to me. Not only are they loud and obnoxious when I'm digging (GoC) but, they looove to pull aggro critters (usually cutts or jugs) on top of me. Why do they think my little tail, glad in focus gear can protect them?

These are actually several Karavan persons dressed in and animating an Arana outfit (only 2k dapper at your local Void-Mart) that are out to aggro-drag and make your life miserable. Just thought that you should know :p

answer: DigRage! kill them all! (except 1 to stop repop) teach the mobs to run from homins!
