    I wouldn't consider this anything other than a Quality of Life improvement, and acknowledge that the level of priority for the following request is low.

    Please upgrade the sounds in-game for spells/actions. Not every sound is "bad", but many detract from the auditory experience in the game. As a positive example, I have truly enjoyed the music in the game as it fits with the theme of the world and it pleasant to listen to over long stretches of gameplay. I cannot recall who the composer was, but they did a great job for SotA. Another great example are the ambient sounds you get from the different zones. I particularly enjoy the death scenes ambient sounds - I cannot tell you how many times I heard voices in the dark of night and have turned around thinking someone is lurking behind me while I have a headset on (I'm not a monster, and don't subject my family to creepy sounds while they sleep!).

    In my case, these are the spell sound effects that I find grating/annoying. I cannot lower the following sounds without lowering all spell audio effects, which detracts from my overall experience with the game. Here are some sounds I truly have trouble with:
    • Dash
    • Death Touch
    • Death Punch
    • Death Field
    There are a few others, but I think the game would benefit from an overall pass at sound effects for spells/actions.

    Do you have any particular sound effects for spells/actions that you wish could be changed? If so, please list them.

    The loss of the sound designers was as big of a tragedy for Shroud as the original plan for the quest system and sticking with the original UI for half a decade.

    Sounds makes the game, it's well established.
