Ride the lightning sound bug in SPvP

No matter where you are in a map of an spvp match you can hear someone ride the lightning and it sounds as if they are directly on top of you.

Hi Circuitnerd. Please help answer a few questions so this can be looked into:

Does this happen with a particular PvP map, or all PvP maps?

Does this happen with every match that you play in maps that are affected?

When did this start occurring?

What profession are you?

Can you confirm that there either is or is not another Elementalist in the map when this occurs?

Thank you very much for posting this.

I identified what the problem was, and I’ve fixed the bug. The fix will be out in the next major update.

Apologies for all who are experiencing the nuisance of Ride the Lightning sounds playing so loud and over such a long distance.
