Why Has The Gorgon/gorgon Wraith's Original Sound Asset Been Changed?

[worri3db3ar]

I noticed the sound change for the gorgon back at the start of update 12 which was to much dismay as well for all the updates before you knew when there was a heavy grineer gunner in the crowd of enemies and roughly where they were in the room/tile.

At first I had thought that the they gave the gorgon a different sound asset so that the gorgon wraith would have the original sound making it a good reason considering that the wraith version is meant to be the gorgon but packing alot more "punch". To my dismay this was not to be the case. Therefore I would like to hear if anyone else feels the same or some sort of reason why there was such a change to the sound asset as for the past 5 updates there has been no change to the sound and was recognisable from the crowd when it was fired by friendly or by enemy alike like it was the sound signature of the gorgon as a weapon.

Miss the old sound. Always held my water bottle like a Gorgon and started "playing" the sound. Along with artificial recoil

The sound during U8 was insane.

I'm pretty disappointed Gorgon Wraith doesn't use the original sound, or even a different sound to the standard Gorgon as Wraiths and Vandals do

[Jakl635]

they should make it into a cosmetic-like feature for weapons with wraith and vandal versions.

the original sound for the gorgon was something that anyone would identify immediately and now with its new sound I kind of feel like I might as well have no sound for it because its not a weapon you can distinguish from the crowd...and now that the wraith version is out i think more people will notice that the gorgon doesn't sound fun.

[worri3db3ar]

at the current moment it just feels broken the gorgon and the gorgon wraith's sound asset because if you look at the other weapons they usually have the same sound asset that is very close to their original sounds....I know this sounds like myself whinge about something very small but its something I was used to hearing when there is a heavy gunner and as well as the change to the gorgon and its wraith it makes one feel like the gorgon is a bit of a throw away.

I would pay just to get the U8 gorgon sound back :C
my god that gun used to sound like a destroyerdroid from star wars, pure porn for your ears, but now (even tough the new sound is quite nice) its just not.....amaizing.

same goes for the vipers.I think that the soundchange for both weapons is the biggest nerf in warframe-history

You know what that means?

 

That sound is reserved for the next new awesome LMG weapon that DE cooks up.

 

It'll be clan tech/platinum, and we will eat it up like gravy on mashed potatoes.

[worri3db3ar]

i think the original sound of a gorgon would sound very out of place on a LMG but that is my opinion as i'm too used to recognising the sound as a gorgon/heavy gunner.

i would doubt i would be that inclined to eat up whatever weapon they put the sound onto as i would ask the question for the reasons why...bit like how they would have to explain a valkyr prime should a valkyr prime ever come out.
