Evrima and headphones

[Madkou]

Gotta ask, can you guys playing evrima without headphones? I can't seem to yet. I'd like to see that kinda thing as an improvement over legacy.

[ammon]

this a joke?
no seriously, don't play evirma with headphones on, this game is too loud! [not helped by the settings default back to original settings everytime you log out of a server]

Ey bud, I got a secret to tell you, and you have to promise not to tell anyone else.
Try turning your computer volume down.

Well, good luck with that.

I've never owned a game that absolutely required headphones to play well. I don't have a super sound system, so headphones are it. Not gonna spend money on a better sound system for one game lol.

[velocitation]

Generally headphones are pretty important since I'd say sound gives you a lot of information qbout your surroundings in this game.

Head phones are cheaper and better so...yes.

There's no awareness for overuse of headphones, clearly lol.

Sound fine with my headphones. WAIT. Does this mean.... awwww.... are your ears a little sensitive? Awwww... everything will be okay. :/ (Half joking here)

nope, it IS the game as others have reported audio problems too ^.0
and when i die, or crash/server crash or log out all the settings are back to default eventhou the sliders show where i put them [ i have to click on the slider bars to get the levels back to how i want them]
so it's a bug that needs fixing

If you guys are talking about evrima, ya the sound has some bugs currently. Probly some doozeys in legacy too but I havent played that in a while. This is kinda off-topic though, I'm just talking about playing the game without headphones lol. Being able to pinpoint direction well enough w/o them. So far, evrima is just like legacy in that respect. Kinda hoped that would improve to the point where we could give our ears a break now and then lol. If ya play this non-stop that is.

Headphones are better than ear buds when it comes to skin problems, or gradual hearing loss, or ear infection, but headphones do still cause these things with super prolonged usage. Taking a break is of course advised, but let's face it, most of us play for hours and hours lol.

i can only say that the best case for non-earphone/headphone use is get yourself some good [doesn't have to be top of the range really] speakers as most inbuilt speakers are either at the back of your monitor or at the front but under a lip [laptops] and therefore distorting the sounds

but, as for improved sound quality for players to be able to take their phones off, that more then likely won't happen for along time [unless you turn up the volume or use an hdmi cable to connect to your tv which mostly has speakers at the back or they just fix the bug...]

Well, one can hope I guess lol. About a yr back I had this super boil or something behind my ear. Doc said it was likely me wearing HPs too much. didnt hurt or anything, but I moved my ear forward and it popped...my wife nearly tossed her lunch lol.

Gotta clean dem HPs ya lol.

Eh? If there's one thing The Isle-Legacy-has done right, it's make the use of hearing extremely important. Evrima is only lack luster because there is some audio bug going on.

Use whatever Ear Piece you like, but you should have something on your ears so that you can act and react to sound in your environment properly.

found my earings absolutly LOVE to shred the lining on headphones - so i go earphones XD
boils are normally caused by sweat being stuck in the pores [no air to circulate round and dry it out] and it just keeps building up under the skin - it's common for people who sit too long without moving [artists, gamers, taxi drivers etc] to get these - which is why having a break every 2 hours not only helps prevent strain [wrist, eye, back] but gives you a chance to more around and stretch muscles/kinks and get airflowing over you ^.^ [or just wipe with tissue every once in a while XD]
but yeah, hope you don't get any more ^.^
