discbox Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Once again - a blaster that does not sound like a Star Wars blaster. It does not sound like a blaster at all, no matter what scfi universe. Why!? The Star Wars movies had great sound. The Clone Wars has nice sound effects. Most Star Wars games have nice sound. And in SWTOR we get the worst blaster sounds over and over again! Pfff pfff pfff. Really disappointing - it was hard work to get this blaster. But I hate it. The Cartel Market blaster have special sounds, I like! Why is the most mediocre, most common blaster sound in the game used for this very special weapon?

KariTalRathe Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Yeah I remember eagerly collecting enough tokens on Tatooine so I could pick up a cool looking blaster at the comms vendor. After swapping mods I think I used it for all of two fights before the mods went back into my original weapon. Not sure why different blasters have to have different sound effects - is it the same for all types of weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, different hilts can have different ignition sounds for light sabers and different rifles can have different blaster sounds etc. For example the Black Nebula Blaster has a deep throaty thud when it fires off vs the higher pitched twang of the other cartel pack blaster (I forget its name ATM). Edit: By hilts I mean the light saber shell not the hilt mods used to increase damage and stats. Edited March 5, 2013 by Hyfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully the Gree event blaster looks like a hairdryer so I would only ever have bought it for swapping barrels to different characters. The double-bladed lightsaber looks awesome though, I hope it sounds OK; I hope to use it on a future character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again - a blaster that does not sound like a Star Wars blaster. It does not sound like a blaster at all, no matter what scfi universe. The sound is really bad ?? I was thinking buy it..

Koyaanisqat Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Blaster Pistols have always the same sound. The sound never change.. Buy a Rangehunter or Black Nebula and come back here. Or fire a Columi Weapon and the Taris Rancor-X. Pistols sound different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me try again for you, if you buy a different set of blaster pistols they will sound different. Go equip dome different blasters fire them off and come back. Like I gave in my example earlier, a black nebula blaster will sound different then your D-200 blasters. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems u dont understood the meaning of my post dude. I said the SAME blaster have the SAME sound, not the all blasters in the game have the same sound .. u are funny but not smart, soz try again Edited March 5, 2013 by chaosmadness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andryah Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Thankfully the Gree event blaster looks like a hairdryer so I would only ever have bought it for swapping barrels to different characters. LOL... I thought the same exact thing about that silly hairdryer. And it would just be wrong if your hairdryer made classic SW blaster sounds when you click the trigger.

You must now go back three squares, as you completely missed what was said. Different blasters, like different sabers, can and do have different sound effects tied to them. Your statement makes it sound like you thought the OP said different barrels changed the sound effect (which by the way would be a cool solution to the OPs problem, but it's not how things work in game at this time).

I said the SAME blaster have the SAME sound, not the all blasters in the game have the same sound .. u are funny but not smart, soz try again It was pretty obvious by my first post that I was talking about different types of blasters having different sounds hence in my first post talking about the Black Nebula blaster sound vs the higher pitched twang from the other cartel pack blaster that the name eludes me still (Range hunter maybe???). I have been since the beginning referring to different types of blasters and not two of the same kind as you incorrectly tried implying. Sorry but if you are going to try and correct me you might want make sure you understand what you are reading first. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirana Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Did they change the sound of the Gray Helix? I don't think so, but this may be the necro of the year. Kudos! I run those weapons and I'm pretty sure they haven't changed in sound, could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
