DUST Search - Request: Hire a new Sound Designer

Yes, when you write a post about something that is off, you are supposed to suggest improvements. That is how things work here. If you give no input on how to improve the issue you don't like, it will 99 times out of 100 stay the same. When missiles were facepounding everyone, we all came up with MANY ideas to fix them. CCP overdid it by using several ideas together, but it still got fixed. Sort of.

Point is, if you contribute nothing you get nothing in return. And hurling whiny complaints doesn't count as contributing.

As for the topic at hand, the sounds are fine, could use some fine tuning but are otherwise unimportant and good enough for now considering the multitude of other game issues that actually make it hard to play the game (i.e. lag outs, disconnects, not getting into matches, etc)

It's a blaster you moron. It shoots plasma, not bullets. Who cares spaz? The point is, it sounds like a washboard. It's crap. Made me lol. These uber nerdy eve people are hilarious in their defensiveness
Firestorm Zulu Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2013.01.15 18:31:00 - [3] - Quote The point is that the sounds in this game sound about one step above 8 bit MIDI. if I wanted the sound like that I would play snes. It's like the sound is missing multiple channels worth of effect. I don't need to be a sound engineer to recognize when a sound is plain and unlayered. I have a feeling some of these fanboys play on SD tvs and still play 8track tapes. The difference can also find metaphor between your laptop stock speakers and a Bose system. The punch of the sounds just isn't there. I don't care if they sound modern or realistic , although those sounds come to mind as good sounds bc they are very real and sound amazing. It's the "punch" a sound can deliver and dust simply doesn't have that yet. It all sounds like 1hp , battery operated, junk. No feeling of power

Later this week we're content streaming a lot of new sounds, affecting everything from the music to the explosions to the firing sounds of many different weapons. These changes are a big step to finishing the sound and setting the mood we want. The LAR is one sound that we've constantly iterated on since it's the bread and butter of the dust battlefield. We've gone through a ton of versions to find the right fit for the LAR, and the new version coming in this week (along with all the sweeping changes in overall sound) takes into account what you guys have been talking about here. Thanks for all the comments! Whoa. I can't wait. I wonder how you guys stream in content that takes a lot of memory while also taking into account available hd space. This post is music to my ears

You'll notice we got a direct response for the developer noting the all the sounds are getting a drastic overhaul. Just bc you type 8 paragraphs doesn't make you less wrong FYI . We clearly described the problems with the sounds from an operations perspective and not from the engineers perspective. And rightly so, we don't get payed and we are not professional sound designers. The sounds were described and critiques were given. We can't onomatopoeia this crap any more than we already did. Get your fanboy head outta get rear and actually read that the developers know sound is an issue and is being fixed

Seriously though, how did a system as buggy as the new one get through any testing at all? Good question. Maybe this is the first of a succession of sound patches. I'm just finding it hard to believe anything is rushed at this point since mr sound designer has been at this for half a decade now
Firestorm Zulu Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2013.01.31 02:15:00 - [13] - Quote Well, it's glitchy but a step in the right direction. Definitely not a lot of punch , it does sound a little bit like a silenced mp5 now. Just not enough oomph

However good job on live streaming an update this large with the new noises and slight change in handeling overall. Yeah, A for effort. It's cool we don't have to wait for Sony qa
Firestorm Zulu Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 158	Posted - 2013.01.31 05:28:00 - [15] - Quote Skirmish sounds amazing!!! The explosions of the mcc missels add an awesome feel to the war one. Nice bass

I'd rather have glitchy real explosions then the treble Based trash can lid sounds the game has had previous to the sound update
