Bizzaro21 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 simple solution: move it to another gun that sounds like crap, plenty of those, and revert hek`s sound and reduce prisma grakata`s sound volume while we`re at it it sounds S#&$ty and so damn loud I can`t hear anything while firing it........... gosh and u say the new hek sound is good for being on same level as other guns AFTER you reworked grakata`s sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ve1indian Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 at least sound team made a lovely sounding rubico....... It suits the weapon way better, and that's all that really matters. The Hek sound on the other hand... X_X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibliothekar Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Is it just me or did Vaykor Marelok get the same treatment? I just played the Hive mission on Eris (Sortie) and ... wow ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow bad or wow good? If it's the same treatment, it'll now sound like a cap gun being fired underwater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibliothekar Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Wow bad, unfortunately. It sounds flat, has lost its bass as well ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arunafeltz Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 As several people have already mentioned here, 'familiarity' isn't the problem here and as much as I've grown to respect and even admire DE forum staff in some ways, I'm honestly insulted by how our feedback is written off and dismissed as such. But at this point it seems clear that your sound department have little intention to revert or refine a change that affects the experience of long-time users in ways that they don't understand, so I'll just take my Sancti Tigris, wish you a good day and leave. No. I personally really appreciate your efforts, but if the new Hek's sfx is supposed to be an improvement in shotgun sounds, please allow the Tigris's to stay as absolute space garbage. Thank you.

Don_T_Shoot Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Is it just me or did Vaykor Marelok get the same treatment? I just played the Hive mission on Eris (Sortie) and ... wow ... Perhaps we are just missing some lore here and that Vaykor is Grineer for 'gently fizzling fart'. ...can't wait to log in and check out what happened to the V. Marelok. I'm just glad I've mostly switched to the....(oh wait, not going to say it lest it get the same treatment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzaro21 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) why are people saying marelok got rekt? Vaykor version still sounds the way it always did...... and not sure about vanilla don`t have it Edited December 18, 2015 by Bizzaro21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landar486 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 So i came back from a few months of being unable to play. (apparently my laptop refused to check for new content) But when I went to go use my favorite gun, the Hek, expecting the powerful BANG that i'm used to, i've been left with a soft ..."biff" sound. I am extremely disappointed with this design change and less inclined to even use the gun anymore. A weapon can have all the nice stats in the world, but if it doesn't feel fun to use, and that includes sound effects, people aren't going to use it as much. Please DE, change it back to the sound effect it had before the change! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_T_Shoot Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Finally got around to checking it and Vaykor Marelok sounds fine to me. I can't detect any change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiiiiViiii Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Just wanted to update that I still can't use my 5 forma hek in even the simplest and most 'fun' missions I do lately because of pure disappointment. I'm as sad as my hek sounds now. I actually forgot that I have it yesterday and I almost sold it just because I just... get no enjoyment from shooting it anymore.

I have stopped using it too because the awesomeness is just gone now. Looks like they wont listen to their player base & do something about it.

Kaldo Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Small bump just so people still remember this is an issue :P I started using my VHek again, I just can't get over the "new" sound. Such an awesome weapon, such weak ridiculous sound, like shaking a bag of cereal. I've read the dev post at the start of this thread and I'd say we've given it enough time to properly, objectively say that the new sound, while similar, is not nearly as good and immersive as the original one.

Bizzaro21 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 last I heard DE, the devs should listen to the community`s majority on stuff that won`t break the game, why won`t u revert it? sure add reverb and variant sounds every shot effects that the new sound has, but put them on the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACorpse Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I mean, if they're dead set on making it compatible with the new effects set, then just redo it from scratch to be more like what the players want while still meeting the criteria for audio processing. This version is garbage. Just, garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DE]George Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 What the Hek?! So you all feel very strongly about this I guess? ;) As I mentioned in a previous post a number of pages back, a little while ago we changed the way we play back weapon sounds in the game. The Hek was a legacy weapon that we thought would fit better with a fresh take on the original sound... we truly did want to keep the original intent of the weapon while bringing it up to par with the newer weapon sounds and also with the new weapon playback system. We really feel that the new sound better fits the weapon and we stand by that. But... At the end of the day we want you to be happy with the Hek and it is sad to see so many of you shelving the weapon because you didn't like the new sound direction. Rest assured that we do read every forum post and we do care how you feel about the sound in the game. The fact that so many of you care this much about the sound is great, actually. So... The next hotfix will have the original sound put back on the weapon, and we made it work with the new weapon sound tech. [DE]George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
