The new horn noise...

The new horn noise. Wow.

Any chance that this can be rolled back to what it was before? I mean seriously, that horn doesn't sound in tune.

Is there a switch to turn that one effect on/off maybe?

The fact that the new horn sound was added instead of fixes that could
improve gameplay is what blows my mind.

I turned my sounds/effects way down.

[Nimec]

My Zealot still doesn't have a horn period. :confused:

SIGNED!!!

That new horn sound (esp high elves) is absolutely horrible. I would love to have the old one back. I have no idea why they found it so necessary to change such a small thing in the game that nothing was even wrong with, only to put a much more annoying thing in it's place. I submitted feedback regarding the new horn i think it's so bad. If anyone reading this thinks it's horrible too, do the same.

Glad I'm a Magus.

On a more hilarious note, when I logged in I thought that was a battle alarm in the Warcamp because one of our keeps was under attack. I later realized it was just all the dead people running back ;)

The new horn is definitely prop.8 material.

[AranStormah]

It sounds like someone stole Jan Hammer's synth keyboard.

Don't get me wrong, it'd be absolutely awesome in Miami Vice Online right before the Don mounts his ride, but it sort of stands out in a bad way in WAR.

Certainly did wish the horn would be diffrent and the sound as well from a race to another

I like the new horn sound for my Wolf (sounds like a wolf howling)... and I especially like that each class has a unique horn.

Lol it is off-key for sure, why was it changed, anyone know? I think I liked the first version better than this one.

Were people complaining about the first one? Inquiring minds want to know.

hehe

Well this is what I get for playing with my sound turned off so I can listen to music. I did not realize the Horn sound had changed... I will have to check this when I get home this evening and see what I think. :p

Hands off mah horn sound. I always found the old horn annoying. The new ones are a welcome relief. I do, however, agree that it seems strange that this was put in but not some of the very needed changes for classes such as squig herders, shadow warriors, etc. Say what you will for some of the more controversial changes, such as the HoTs, grudge mechanic, and combustion/dark magic nerf. Some of those class balance changes were not being disputed and it is fairly easy to identify which ones.

Just a fyi, Mark Jacobs did another one of those speeches of his just prior to the current new update, stating that the class changes, balancing, etc were going for further testing on the Public Test Server.
I frankly was glad to hear that, as when I read some of their proposed changes, I was shaking my head going....why are they doing the opposite of what should really be done. lol

Anyways he stated that the hots were not going to be messed with, and for the time being BWs/Sorcs would not have their dots buffed up...til the feedback from folks on the test server comes in.

Class changes whatever they will end up to be, will be in the next update, 1.0.6.

So guess there has to be a bit more patience, and personally I would rather see them look at things more closely than just spit out updates ...to incurr the wrath of many later. :D

Very much signed... I thought there was a problem with my speakers when I heard that terrible horn effect.

I liked the old horn sound. It was more in tune with the overall feel of Warhammer. The only thing I didn't like was that the horn sound was the same for Empire and Elf, where I think they should have been different. Also the old horn sound was a little too loud compared to the other sound effects in the game.

The new horn sound is terrible. It sounds like midi sounds, or synthetic sounds from a cheap keyboard, which detracts from the overall feel of the game.
