First off I want to say I generally enjoy the amount of speech in the game. I much rather listen than read. It has enhanced my gaming experience. However certain things are starting to grate on my sanity..

  • shut up Shut Up SHUT UP
    Often when I’m crafting away for 20min to an hour, no matter where I am, their are always certain dialog audio on some sort of random loop. If I hear some trainer chick tell some trainee to ’train in the ring, or not at all" one more time, I might have to kill every NPC in Claypool. I dont want to turn dialog off. I just want it to stop happening so often. It literally loops every 2~min. Extent it to 15~ or lower the radius or something anything!

    Silence, you salad sloot. Although my char is a human female guardian, the amount of time Ive heard her scream PAIN FOR PAIN or RETREAT or SAVE YOURSELVES makes me want to smack her with a trout <><. I like hearing her, but the same phrase over and over is… horrible. Especially considering how much dialog this game has in it, youd think these short phrase would have a few variations per skill that has a voiced audio attached. It would be awesome to get a few different versions. Think of the trout.

Thanks for the great game.

The chatter system that handles things like greets and combat VO needs some frequency tweaking. It’s relatively simple to do, and it’s on our radar for polish stuff.

If there are scenes triggering near certain vendor NPCs, we should probably move them farther away.
