What's with the "kill notification" sound??

Derpus · Sep 7, 2011

I don't remember hearing anything except maybe headshots, but if they do have bodyshot noises I agree they should be removed completely in realism mode. I don't mind headshot noises because they're going to die in 1 headshot anyway.

Makino · Sep 7, 2011

The sound is okay, the problem is that it is audible from far away.

NoxNoctum · Sep 7, 2011

^This.

It might be a bug entirely and not a "feature". I dunno. Regardless it needs to be changed IMO.

That's what I'm thinking. That what you're hearing isn't a "notification" sound, you're just hearing the actual hit sound but from much too far away.

Can a dev comment to just cut off complaining?

So, grenades can't be heard 15m away while a bullet tearing through flesh is always heard? I'm really hoping both are just sounds bugs.

There's definitely a "CLINK" sound when you get a headshot, even when it's really far away.

I wonder why this sort of noobishkiddie feature is roaming around in HOES.

BlackLabel · Sep 7, 2011

mhhh i only had that when i headshot somebody.

In my experience, hits on live targets from rabbits right up to large stags and boar will always provide a very distinctive hit 'thump' if hit on centre mass/chest.

There should be a sound IMO, but the projection of that sound should be limited to a realistic distance if at all possible

Ok yeah. I was in the Grain Elevator, shootin' me some Germans, and I could clearly hear the sound when I was tagging people. Sounds like...someone kicking a thin piece of plywood.

It's fine, it's just ridiculously audible is all. I don't really seem to hear it as much when shooting people through cover.

NoxNoctum · Sep 7, 2011

Do more people not think this is a serious issue?? It seems to me now like it's more of a bug than an intentional "feature" but it still needs to be rectified. I'm hearing that sound even on 150+ meter shots which just doesn't seem right.

SiC-Disaster · Sep 7, 2011

Yeah definitely needs to be removed.
It's really unnerving that you can hear when you hit someone in the body or head (both things are audible without a doubt) at whatever range you managed to shoot them.

Nenjin · Sep 7, 2011

Let's be honest. Just about every issue is "serious" to some member of the RO community.

To me it's serious enough to add to the truck load of things to patch after release. But in the grand scope of things it's minor, and is more likely just some audio that needs adjusted, not some backdoor attempt by TWI to give fans of other franchises their kill notifications early. (And I seem to notice the sound most when I'm staring right at the guy I just put a giant hole through.)

Of all the things that need work, this is a minor one, but aesthetically important. (The whole NOT REAL issue is less important to me.)

Niklas · Sep 7, 2011

Wow this is bad.
Hope it's just a bug, since the game is PC exclusive there is no need to make the game easier since you know your target audience.

Goten · Sep 7, 2011

"Ripping canvas" sound indeed. The problem is that I hear it even if the target is 100+ meters away. If it was audible in 20-30 meters it would've been ok, but to gear it at such large distances ... meh.

Oh god I never thought of that. Yeh I really REALLY hope its a bug and its only meant to be heard from very close ranges...

Please Tripwire SAVE OUR BRAINS

It is a bug. It isn't the highest priority bug we have when it comes down to it.

Monkfish Esq. · Sep 7, 2011

A bug? awww

I thought it sounded ****ing great. Like a...meaty snap when you shot a guy and the mother ****er went down. Satisfying in like a sociopathic way..oh god.

THANK YOU! All I needed to hear

. Glad it'll be fixed at some point. Obviously fixing FPS/crash issues I imagine is at the top of the heap atm.

NO! We demand that you stop fixing the performance issues, bugs, and whatever else simply to turn down the hit sound..

Okay, as long as it isn't intentionally heard from 100+ meters away I don't have a problem.

What's with the "kill notification" sound??
