A very simple request, please read.

Can we get the mechanical spiders removed from the game or at least MUTE the noises they make? These things have been a pain in the ass since they were put in and they seriously hurt my ears while wearing headphones. My friend who plays the game completely agrees with me that these guys have to go or become mute.

For those who aren't sure what I am talking about, it's the little crawly critters in EVERY town with the big orange eyeball. They constantly make a high pitched computer/mechanical sound and scan your character. I have been slapping them with my sword every chance I get simply because they make my ears bleed. I understand that maybe they serve a purpose for the game or something so if removing them is too harsh then please mute them or give us a special option to turn them off.

If you agree feel free to let me know, if you disagree well you are just a jerk!

 

If the volume for the watchers is not responding to the appropriate volume slider, file a bug report.

 

There are volume settings you can adjust. That might help for now.
They do serve a purpose.

 

So because ONE thing is out of balance I should mute all the other lovely sounds that the slider operates? That is not a good solution. We shouldn't have to choose between falling rain/the sounds of combat and mechanical dragonflies. I don't think I am alone in thinking they could be turned down a bit, it's so irritating being in a conversation with an npc and hearing *BREEEEEEP BREEEP BUDOO BUDOO BREEEEEP CRRRRRKKKKKKKK* only having to mash escape to get out of the convo "excuse me one moment" and slap the piss out of the mechano fly.

 

If ONE thing is out of balace, file a bug report.

 

Those are the Watchers and are an important part of the game. They report of your deeds and actions to the Oracle. Try using the volume controls, but they won't be removed.

And as far as "jerk" is concerned, it's pretty obvious who that is.

 

I agree the watcher sounds are too loud in relation to other noises.

Without spoilers I find it hilarious you kill them all because they're annoying.

I wasn't serious. I didn't think I had to type this. I apologize if my sarcasm made you believe I actually thought you were a jerk for having a differing opinion, I do not you are entitled to your opinion you are not a jerk. I understand they serve a purpose I guess I just wanted to know if they bother anyone else playing with headphones, I don't want to mute all the other lovely "SFX" the game has because I would be robbing myself of ambient noise which I value above even the music in a game. I will file a report that I think these particular critters are too noisy.

 

Oh great so this is going to bite me in the arse later . Zordon er uh the "oracle"is gonna be so mad!

 

Pro Tip: If you kill them they no longer make noise.

Also, Rats Nest has no watchers.

 

I propose a separate volume slider for this, called "Annoying Watcher scans sounds."

True SotA players always have it maxed out.

 

Very good feedback. These are many of the many details that need fine tuned and mentioned as well as bug reported in the game, which is a big reason we are here testing. Thanks

 

Mechanical Spiders and Dragonflies lying in wait until a later date... unknown... lurking... awaiting their chance to leap forward and bite your arse.

 

Reminds me of a spider I tamed in another game. The hissing sound was so loud and annoying, I had to let it go.

 

Yea the purring from a cat thought there was a drone flying by my house

 

I'm just happy that they changed them to keep their distance a little bit instead of always instantly running under my feet.

 

I am so happy I am not alone in this. I second the cat purring comment holy crap I think the engine on my car is quieter.

 

Have you filed a bug report, @Lathiari?

 

I like the watcher sounds, I can adjust my volumes fine, but maybe the footsteps need a boost, other than that... I also use headphones, so...

 

Watchers are a pain now...imagine what it will be like when the Stretch Goal Pet Watchers appear...Hacked Oracle Crawler Pet Reward, Hacked Oracle Flyer Pet Reward.
