Thexremstar Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Why is it that we lost our upper hand proc laugh? Why do Powertechs still have theres it makes me angry when they laugh at me all the time when they chase u round the map burning you and laughing the whole time either remove the Power tech laugh or bring back my upper hand proc laugh. So I can laugh at them while I heal myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxmob Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) I have nothing against audio for the proc, but at least make it something other ppl can disable. the scoundrel healer on my first guild was laughing almost non-stop the whole raid. it was annoying as all heck. on the other hand, other pyros/assaults don't bother me one iota (whether I'm on the assault or not). in short: an audio cue is fine. just...less annoying or something that can be disabled w/o messing up other sounds. edit: I believe the proc on pyros was knocked back twice, once before I used him and once afterward (I think I picked mine up in 1.2/3; he was just a tank/tactics pve before then). anyway, 6s cd on proc. if the pyro saves his rocketpunch, though, it's almost a guarantee after the cd is up. those numbers are all top of m'head, and I don't care to look it up atm.

Technohic Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah. I know playing pyro spec, it made it a lot easier to know the proc due to the laugh. They need things like that as improvements to a lot of procs for several classes IMO. just make it to where only you hear it for crying out loud. Of all the idiotic things they address, I don't know how they continue to make things worse in so many ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dev Post AlexModny Posted February 13, 2013 Dev Post Share Posted February 13, 2013 Good news everyone! Upper Hand and Tactical Advantage proc laugh/giggle is coming back in 2.0! Your Scoundrel or Operative will now chuckle most heartily when they gain their first UP/TA when they previously had zero. Before we took it out completely the sound was playing every time you gained an UP/TA and was really spamming everyone with their infectious chortles. I really miss the giggle so I’m glad we are bringing it back, hope yall enjoy it as well! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just have these two posts so I'm thinking BW recently allotted you hours to roam the forums? (if so we appreciate it). Either way we hope to see more of you Alex. Its been feeling like we're discussing some of this stuff in a vacuum even when the majority can see fixes needs to happen, we can't even get a sense that you guys are on the same page. Can we expect to be seeing BW responses on a weekly basis? Biweekly? Obviously you won't answer every or even most questions, but just knowing that the occasional thread actually gets read is huge.

LarryRow Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Okay, but will the sound play on the clients of nearby players? It is pretty infuriating being killed by an operative who surprises you from stealth, and then get laughed at when he gets the killing blow. Otherwise, I want my Guardian to play a laugh sound when he gets killing blows too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been lurking the forums since they were created, I just never had the opportunity to post until now... I'm sure I will regret the decision at some point Just kidding! I'm looking forward to responding to as many topics as I am able to but I cannot guarantee any type of quota for me or my fellow devs of course. I know its not as satisfying/comforting as having a golden yellow response but trust that we are lurking, reading and noting suggestions even if we don't give the thread a response.

Stryklone Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 The complaint before the giggle was taken away was that everyone heard it. It'll be great to have it back but if everyone hears the giggle again ... This time, please just have it so only the person who gets the UH can hear it. This is even better than forcing other people to disable something they have nothing to do with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I want my Guardian to play a laugh sound when he gets killing blows too. it's an audible cue when uh procs. it would normally come before a killing blow...unless you die to blaster whip? anyway, I'm pretty happy with the answer. it only makes the audio when the proc actually means something. quick response too.

So how do i keep track of the rest of TAs?! Leave it as it is i dont care, but keep the sound same any time i gain TA. It's like i have too little things to watch as OP?? So i'll watch for one more...? - or do i understand that you remove sound for TA exept the 1st one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuixupu Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Sounds like a good compromise. I always liked the chuckle, but having two healing operatives running around giggling every time TA procced was just too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
