I tried to do something about it, but watch the vultures attack. Oh well, what did I expect anyway.

Yeah they can close/remove my topic, that saves me the embarrasment thinking this community could make a statement.

Cant ban people for a feature Anet themselves implemented. Anet should change the way the tonic sounds work, or, implement a feature where you can turn off tonic-specific sounds.

I enjoy the music and environmental sounds that are a part of GW... It's nice to listen to. "NGGAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" ... Isn't.

Ban the stupid sound, it's morally inscensative to those of us with the Wooki complex.

I am willing to support this effort by selling the couple of everlasting yetis I have in storage for only twice current market value =P

On a serious note, I think an OPTION to turn off tonic sounds in town couldn't be a bad thing, though I have no idea how difficult it would be to implement; even seemingly simple things can be relatively difficult to program.

Also, to the people who were saying stuff about how its like people being loud in the middle of the night.....try moving out of your nice, suburban middle-class neighborhoods LOL. In something like an apartment complex or even a college dorm, you DO have people playing techno at 2 am......and thats on one of the more tame nights

Changed your argument, which can also be used to support account hacking:

You can easily annoy others in real life by just punching everyone around you on the streets then laugh at them. You can pretty much guarantee that they would be annoyed. So the argument to support this becomes:

For those who say we should support it because of "freedom", are you saying people should be allowed to beat up, shoot, kill, rape, and do whatever they feel like doing to anyone else? That is anarchy, not true freedom, and a society built on that would never work.

Allow them to make sounds outside of a town, just like minipets. I remember the horrible constant screeching of Kuunavang in Lions Arch, which prompted me to play the game in silence. It was a shame since I actually enjoyed some of the ambient music in certain outposts....I was very happy when they decided to remove those sounds.

I think OP wants the SOUND to be "banned", not characters using yetis.

Wubbies · Jan 23, 2009, 04:38 PM // 16:38

i paid for the game so why should i go find another district or turn my sound of or even effects of sounds off.. these people that use yeti tonics are just kids with nothing better to do. if not ban the yeti noise maybe have someone the keeps repeating/abusing the yeti should get a ban. it's so annoying and such a pet peave . go ahead and flame away.. im nuts and ill prove it and its an opinion. i do leave the disctrict but why should i have to change my sound because of a bunch of kids or change my district.

i have better idea..ban all the kiddies from the game or take their ice cream away.

This would be complicated by the slight technical fact that the only tonics that work outside of town in the first place are yuletide and transmorgifier, neither of which makes any sound at all if I'm remembering correctly. So, in other words, not allowing the sound in towns would be actually equivalent to removing the sounds from in game totally.

Taking Fenix's words out of the spectrum they were meant for and twisting them into your own unrelated analogy accomplishes absolutely nothing. What he said was directed towards the topic of this thread not the nonsense shit you are amusing yourself with.

As for the "freedom" argument: this is a game. Comparing assault, murder, and rape to yeti sounds in a video game is about as idiotic as it gets.

Lycan Nibbler · Jan 23, 2009, 04:59 PM // 16:59

I didnt even know they made sounds,,, I never have the sound on GW

Tullzinski · Jan 23, 2009, 05:03 PM // 17:03

Guess I should turn up my sound, but if it sounds anything like my kids making the same sound over and over and over then...

Aye, this too. Remove Hero Rank and Zaishen Rank emotes.

You do know they can be heard in the Great Temple of Balthazar, even if you are near Priest of Balthazar, and they are near the xunlai chests next to exit from the temple?

Shadowmoon · Jan 23, 2009, 05:37 PM // 17:37

I remember when skeletons first came out, and I thought they were borderline too annoying, but the yeti tonic goes over the line, then spits on it. Think sounds should be put on a timer, like /rank and /zrank, or like mentioned b4 add an option to remove the sounds of tonics.

That was the most rediculous post I've seen in a long time. Comparing a game to real life fails anyway...but your comparisons have absolutely nothing to do with the topic.

-People don't hack accounts to be annoying.
-Punching random people and laughing would either get yourself knocked out, or in jail for assult.

Comparing a minor in-game annoyance to serious crimes ftw xD

At least it was entertaining though. ^^

To stay on topic I stand by my idea...sounds made by the tonics are only heard by the person using them.

Okay, then change punching to shouting loud. It would be considered a disturbing behaviour and you would be punished by fine.

Why can't you be punished here?

faraaz · Jan 23, 2009, 06:59 PM // 18:59

Anet killed large tonics on wintersday because of all the tards ingame last year. This shows that they care. (I hope!)

Plz plz plz Anet, kill the yeti! Idk wtf you were thinking but just hit 'em with the mute-stick, and all is forgiven.
