    Yea, howling winds. Though, when you have howling winds outside, and are inside, and someone opens the door, it would be neat to have a rush of wind gust in with a loud howling noise ;)

    Wonder if extremely heavy winds in some areas and rare weather will occasionally cause people to get knocked down, like with a Gust spell.

    Happy we have someone to focus on Audio.
    I will miss the bowling sound if you open a gate. And the aeroplane sounds in the woods.

    I love this kind of thing, so thanks for your feedback guys! Glad to be on board. Here is a sketch of the new portal noises, any comments, improvements?

    I like the idea behind it; it sounds like a tuning fork, like a vibration in space-time, from whatever type of inter/intra-dimensional disruption the portal creates. Plus, also like there's a rush of air being pulled in and out from it, as a vortex.

    Love everything except the "note" that happens starting at 0:16 (sounds like a D with slow tremolo), just because it makes me think that a song is going to start. Also, that beep at 0:21 I guess is not intended?

    I think these are great improvements! But the weather sounds are way t0o loud inside... I should barely hear the wind inside, and thunder should be muted, lower...

    Also the thunder is too monotonous... There should be more variation... Low rolling rumbles and quick crackles are part of thunder too...

    I would ad a sound confirming the transformation.
    So at second 25 when the avatar teleports i would ad a sound.

    Like the sounds from tron when the hover bikes make a sound if you turn 90 degrees from minute 1:10

    the rain sound is super-effective. when i'm out doing things in it, i always feel a vague, "i should get back inside for a bit" feeling

    The new and improved sounds are fantastical. The raindrops need to be fat drops and skinny drops, till almost imperceptible, and when we get thunderstorms, the buckets should be falling. Other than those observations from the other side of the mountain, great job . Well done.:rolleyes:

    What we also need would be different sounds during different times of day. Chirping birds don't make much sense at night ;)

    Also makes sense that sound waves get distorted as they pass in and out of the vortex.

    I don't know; would people complain if their fireplace had the sound of a fire? Or if a grandfather clock made a tic-toc sound? I remember those sounds in Iolo's hut back in U5. They were a nice touch.

    But what you're saying is true to a point, I guess. If mage had a portal in his house that made a loud noise and pulled air inside, you might, at least, expect there be a way for him to open and close the portal.

    you can turn of the fire :) but yes that was my point. If you have objects that creat sound, they should have an option to turn them on or off, or make the sound not to loud.
    The windgenerators are a good exampel

    I was going to post this exact same thing. Definitely need to drop the volume on the storm sounds when you get inside your house?

    The storm effects are bloody awsome BTW.. Great job team!
