Not liking new animations and sounds on bladed combat

The tracers are too much. It's cheesy and distracting. The animations for moves like whirling blades and coup de grace seem to have gone down in quality. The satisfying crit sound is gone. Thrust sounds awful. I mean seriously, the thrust glyph sounds more like a fart than something getting stabbed. (Don't ask me how I know what getting stabbed sounds like, but I do, and it sounds nothing like that.)
I would like to say that I do enjoy the sounds that the trees make when I chop them down. Thanks for getting that part right.
Now please make bladed combat stop looking and sounding like a bad Star Wars game.
Thanks
