Getting hit sound effect

[Bifo]

Hey forum

I just want to make a quick note on the new sound played when getting hit by a bullet.

This sound is so bad, it dont make me scared of getting hit for any other reason than that i dont want my ears to die again.
i see no option to turn it down, and it is constantly at max volume, which makes you jump in your chair (not in the good way) and yell **** to yourself.

I dont mean to be rude, but it is not even a good sound.. sounds like a wooden bat smacking bones, and it just does not fit, it completely ruins immersion.

i hope this will be edited/removed, or most importantly, with an option to turn it down/off completely!

ps. i think the "you hit the enemy in the helmet" sound could really use some work as well

I love the idea, and the sound, it's not the worst. But maybe we need a few variations perhaps depending on the caliber and where it hit? They all sound like head shots to me. It got really repetitive and annoying after one night.

To me that sound resembled rotten fruits getting smashed and like Bifo said it completely ruins immersion. Idea is a good one, true, but than sound needs fixing and alternative sounds.

i agree, i must admit the "the sound suck" part is mostly beacuse om tired of getting knocked off my chair every time. I think the most important thing to do is to make an option to turn it down, as it is waaayyy too loud.

I think they might have noticed.

I just posted over at Steam that I LIKE the sound effect a lot. It sounds like bone being cracked open. But it is WAY TOO LOUD.

This is a carry over from RO/RS games, where the shot that kills you is so freaking loud even when the shooter is 500 yards away. It is clearly done for shock value and is totally annoying.

I much prefer this sound effect than unrealistically hearing the shot as if the guy just snuck out of my backpack and put his gun to my ear.

So I just want them to change the volume. I truly must adjust my volume to fit that effect and then everything else isn't loud enough.

See I thought that was obvious. In a minority obviously.
