Bard songs = OBNOXIOUS

I don't know if this is a WR thing or happened in EQL after I left, but when did bard songs become so damn obnoxious and LOUD? I mean come on...do we need a sound on EVERY refresh of the song when playing haste? Twisting songs it just makes it worse. It's ridiculous.

Is this something that CAN be changed in WR to the way old school EQ did it? All the extra sound effects are really useless and just overkill.

Love playing the bard. Hate the "new" effect. I know people can turn off effects, but making people turn off effects just so they can group with my bard is kind of annoying too. I mean big flames engulfing every party member puts a hurtin on some machines...

Yeah I know...initially it was going to be a rant and then turned into a suggestion. But after I posted I can't move it. So hopefully a mod can.
 
I agree. These are the thing that are bugging me:
1. Music selections - Ice proc for chant of battle! Aaásdghgruirisu
2-3. The music plays each tick when not twisting. It should play it for the first only, even when twisting, except for some sound effects like shield of songs.
4. Song bar disappears at 50% (remove it for a quick fix)
5. Newer song icons don't tell as much as the old simple ones
 
I am at bard here 65... yea I hate the haste sound too... can we please change it to something a lil more idk not what it is tho if needed just make it nothing.... it does get very annoying and i can't hear TS alot on raids cause of it....
 
I think ideally it would be best to just get rid of bard song sounds all together. They are cast WAY too often for it not to be a nuisance. Maybe have a vote on it?

I can deal with most of the song effects staying the same and just turning them off if we so choose (I don't mind the heal or clarity effects though...just massive fire effects = massive lag).

Please consider. :)
 
From what I remember, there were alot of people who liked the sounds that bard songs make, however how about a slider to control bard song's sound level, so if you wanted you could turn them down/mute them on the users choice.
 
The devs here cannot change the client (adding sliders).

But why not just turn sounds off? EQ is much more fun without them. And frankly, they don't add one whit to "immersion", unless you play from within a sound proof room.
 
I didn't realise people actually listened to the EQ music and sounds. I haven't since the first week I played Everquest back in 99. Winamp, use it!

No it's not the other sounds that bother me. Just the bard songs. Regular music is off though. Ugh...you'd think after all those years SOE could have spent a LITTLE money on making some better sounds for the game. They're horrible for the most part.
