Don't like the new sound of charged burst... too tinny and it kinda hurts my ears. I almost wanna quit my smuggler and go play my jedi until you fix this "nails on the chalkboard" sound....

they don't care about it

I kind of like it. Sounds like a turbolaser...

Yeah I don't get why they couldn't have just reduced the volume of the old one. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

yea i cant figure out why they changed to the gay pew pew sound, i benched my new smugg because of it, i got attacked by a gunslinger the other day and was laughing my *** off at the sound lol

It's not that I don't like the new sound, I, like the OP, prefer the original.

Was i the only one that thought it was weird that our charged burst sounds more "macho" than the commando's weapon. I prefer the new version. it sounds like it is actually come from a small blaster rather than a starship cannon.

Lies. We're Smugglers. We define macho by our natural demeanor.

^ I can imagine some smugglers wanting to put silencers on their weapons because they value subtlety. But I think of gunslingers as being much more flashy. They would be more likely to enhance the sound of their weapons, just to be more badarse. Edited November 12, 2012 by Stenrik

it depends on the commando weapon.

 

try the end of chapter1 reward weapon and the level 34 pvp weapon (there are a few that really have that macho sound)

Its just sad that this hasn't been fixed yet. Sadder still that some people think it was a change made on purpose.

 

Not long after it happened it had been noted that it was "brought to their attention". It was acknowledged that they were looking into it and would supposedly fix it. If it had been on purpose, they would have just said so. Plus it would have been in the patch notes.

spelling

New sound sounds like i'm firing off a pea shooter vs the kewl dual glock cannons i used to pack.. Bring back the old sound please!

well I now found out why this happened. it's not the sound that sucks it's the weapons.

charged burst had it's own sound no matter which weapon you took. now it has the sound of the weapon.

(similar to commandos where you hear the sound of the weapon using full auto)

 

only difference is. commando's have at least 2 awesome sounding weapons (the 34 pvp weapon and the reward for finishing act1 of the class story)

 

now here's the trick. they added 1 weapon with a sound that (at least) does not suck so hard.

it's the " Black Nebula Heavy Blaster " a cartel item!!!!! they are actually ripping us off here.

it does not sound as awesome as the old charged burst but at least it doesn't hurt my ears.

 

thanks a lot, what's next ? change all armor color to pink except cartel armor ??

 

I am so mad right now

Wow if that's really what they're angling at, that's REALLY low... I really want to give them the benefit of the doubt on this (since they haven't said anything about it) but... it's hard.

best thing is, you can't even buy it, you need to gamble it through cartel packs with no guarantee it will be in there.

here is the report of someone who burned 240$ on cartel packs. he did not want the blaster (but he did not get it either, I think you get the picture)

Anybody know if todays patch fixed this? CBA to log on to find out.

I agreed the old sound in itself sounded cool. But I still prefer the new sound; with the old sounds, you had one sound for Flurry of Bolts, another for Charged Burst, a third for Aimed Shot, a fourth for Powershot (or Overload or whatever it's called) and a freaking fifth sound for the fatality-only-below-30%-in-health shot. It made me feel like is was not a gunslinger. Now, where at least Flurry of Bolts, Charged Burst and Powershot/Overload sounds alike, I feel like I am a gunslinger with his blasters blazing non-stop.

Before I felt more like a tech-champ/prototype guy with weird proto-type blasters that sounded different every time I used them.
