What moron thought that was a good idea?  

 

I hate those fake infomercial commercials on the radio where they use the "phone-in" voice modulator to make people think it's an unsolicited product endorsement.  Now I gotta deal with it in this game?  

 

Stupid.  Just plain stupid.  

 

Send that [self edited, rhymes with keyhole] "genius" who came up with this to the [self edited] and bring back clear voice messages.  This is just silly.

and the talking bots.

bots should be seen and not heard

In one way I`m glad some one else is getting this "BAD" sound.

Thought for a bit that my system was messing up.

It sounds like they are using 1940`s radio tec.

"PLUS" the all sound keeps blanking out, then back in.

Not a very good idea, and bad implementation of it.

Sound off. Music on.

 That being the obvious intent, make it sound like orders received over radio.

[Captain_Rownd]

I don't think it's an improvement

[wscarter007]

Dont care for the new modulation myself

According to Blindfold http://forum.worldof...847#entry778847

this was a bugfix & announcer was previously supposed to sound like it does now.

People actually listen to that condescending '60s B movie pos? 

I turned it off literally around the 3rd or 4th game I ever played, way back.  I dislike it enough that if it is in a vid of someone's battle and it is audible I wonder about the person who put the vid up and ditch the video.

"I'm proud of you, pilot" - Automatic Backhand.

 

Edit next day:  Just jumped into the game to give it a listen and yes, it sucks even more than it did three years ago. 

Voice Messages slider slammed back to zero.  The only real fix is to kill it but every language in the game has one so that's not going to happen.

It actually took them four years to fix this "bug" and they made it worse?

Why am I not surprised?

I dunno, I kinda like the affirmation.  It's the only time I get it in my day-to-day life.

Yeah, well...  Been playing the game since 2015 and if it's taken them 4 years to "fix" the voice modulation, I call Bull Spittle on that one.  

 

Not shooting the messenger here hoom, just calling it out because they had years and years to "fix" this.  I am 98.7% confident this was one of their designers saying "wouldn't it be better if we...." rather than a bug fix.  

[hoom]

Just relaying the message.

Wasn't there something about audio rework/enhancement in a recent patchnotes? Could be it was supposed to sound like this since then.

[SkyWolf__WM]

I couldn't care less. I use the sounds for ques about what is happening to my aircraft but ignore the guy talking. The fact that my sounds keep cutting off does annoy me.  

 

 

 

[trikke]

not liking the new voice either, but it was fairly immersion-breaking by having HD radio transmissions

 

ah, it's not like i pay much attention to it anyway

I gotta admit, every time I see this post, I chuckle.  Good post.  

[Captain_Underpants53]

I do find it slightly annoying but much less so than the inane bot chatter.

I miss H-mod because it would remove the bot chatter.

I feel like I've gotten used to it now, haven't really noticed it for last couple of days.

Or did they roll it back?

[CorvusCorvax]

All sounds off.  I like it completely silent.  Because, in space, no one can hear you scream "DAMMIT, WHERE DID HE COME FROM!"
