    Can we mute that crap? Building looks awesome, but even when placed ages away, you can still hear the static very loudly! hehe

    Thanks !

    I love the moon tower. It's a great place marker in any town. It's also an old asset so perhaps it can be looked at.;)

    The buzz would make sense if it was a drawback you had to live with in order to get some other benefit -- a price you'd have to decide if you wanted to pay. Do I understand correctly that that was the original intention, that the moon towers wouldn't be just decorative but would have some actual value in defending the town? But since towns are never actually under threat and the moon towers don't actually do anything, that leaves us with the cost but no benefit. I like the buzz as a sound effect -- when I'm right next to a tower. But its volume/range could definitely stand to be lessened if we're not getting anything in exchange for the annoyance.

    Yes the moontowers were supposed to be an energy source for towns I believe. So much imo was lost in the game during development and also imo because devs were being pulled in a ton of directions trying to please those paying for the game. So many distractions for so many great ideas to not get fleshed out and fully completed.

    But here we are with still opportunities to stop balancing combat and make pvp and pve combat numbers separated or pvp numbers adjusted by accessory adjusting at least and get on with the show already.

    We need our Missing basics such as knowledge journals that show quests info of all kinds, tasks and achievements (needed implementation), and systems of the game such as crafting info, music, housing, taming, agriculture, mail system, vendor info etc. This should be apparent immediately by opening our journals not wandering aimlessly.

    Also all scenes in this game should tell a story with quests and lore. We should not just have to go to dungeons and grind. We should have a game rich with story, exploration and wonder. Now imo there is not enough of something for everyone. Instead the few devs we do have are tied up elsewhere.

    Perhaps these SFX are mistakenly set to 2D instead of 3D - or vice versa

    Yeah, there's something off. I have a lot roughly in the center of a PoT, and I can hear the moon tower that's way off in the corner.

    I think this is the issue. It is likely a bug that the Moon-Tower sound effects are not attached to the Volume Sliders. I have entered a bug report here and hopefully it can be attached to the volume sliders soon.

    I believe the issue might be because the sound is set to 2D, but should be 3D.....

    And the sound is just over the top too loud.

    Thanks! Please see see my report also in the sound bug forum about rainbow blast - I think there are several sfx that might need an adjustment.

    Easy fix: tie it to the Radio Static sound setting.
