New sound effect for Arclight / Farseer

[Globulooo SMIC]

I do not know if the devs read the Steam Forums, but i am wondering why was the Arclight / Farseer shooting sound effect changed. They seem to use the same sound now, which is far from the "laser beam" sound effect Arclight used to have.

Anyway, just not a big fan of the new sound, and both unit use it for some reason.

What are your thoughts ?

Noticed this as well, and I also don't like it for the Arclight.

Noticed that the new Sabertooth also use that sound. Is it a bug ?

[MadB@t]

Probably a bug where the new sabertooth canon sound was applied to farseer rockets and arclight beams. Hope this will be fixed soon.

[THE WITCH]

yes arclight shoots beams not projectiles hopefully will be fixed soon - ps great upgrades to the game

[Kalas Hydra]

vulcan shooting misiles is also affected

[Cryptic]

the sound effect change was terrible. it sounds ridiculous now. totally out of place for what it is

[mcpheea]

I agree really dislike the new sound effect if the dev's read this then please revert to the old one ASAP

[PrinzMegahertz]

Yeah it sounds like somebody tried to create a shotgun sound by banging against an empty can and then said "Best sound I ever made! Let's make it twice as loud as everything else".

I'm not a fan of the new sound as well.

Seems unintentional to me. Wasn't stated in patch notes, not that noting a sound effect change is necessarily expected I guess. But the fact that it has the exact same sound as the sabertooth that just got reworked makes me think this is an accident.

It doesn't really make sense with the red ball of energy that it shoots.

"shoots a hardlight beam but has a shell ejection sound* lmao

It seems to be a bug, yes. I'll see if I can get more information about it.

the sounds of Arclight now sound like hitting a barrel with a stick xD Please return the old sound)

Good to know that wasn't an intentional (unlisted) change! It struck me as very, very weird... and I hate unlisted changes in patches.

The new person in charge of sound is annoying. The battle music is SO repetitive and boring now. The Arclights sound like they've been rolled back to Alpha build placeholder 'laser sound' lmao.
