Fancy soundcards

[citizen1080]

Are those still a thing? I thought it was all 1984 over there with standardized euro currency to go with all those cameras and thought police. =D

A lot of people play with sound off. That is about how much you need a fancy sound card. EQ sound is nothing special.

I will say that if you have bass-y headphones, the Solusek/Lavastorm zone line music is satisfyingly boomy.

There have been a couple times when I've been idling at solb zone line in lava and that thunder scared the shit of me.

I can't imagine playing with sound off either. It wouldn't be the same game at all. I played a monk as my main and mob sound input was very helpful.

I mostly just meant that I doubt you need to buy a special sound card for EQ. I am no audiophile, though.

i play with sounds off. the attack music is horrid to listen to after 5 minutes. The othmir music is quite pleasant though.

even back in the day a lot of folks played EQ with the sound off...I actually thought there was no sound in EQ for the first month that I played, because my friends had turned it all off by the time they called me up to hang out and "see the new game they were playing"---ah memories.

some of the music is actually pretty charming...and the old school sound effects have a real nostalgia to them. (I've always wondered why the loudest sound in EQ is opening and closing a bag. And the "hiccup" sound jumping makes is pretty identifiable to EQ) neither of these require (or would get any better) with a modern high end sound card.

I play with music off, and the thunder sound deleted from SoundAssets, but everything else is still there. I often rely on environment sounds for survival.

Everyone will enable sounds when Velious will go live. Especially for velketor music!

will turn off the combat music, but let you appreciate the beautiful soundscapes that exist in Norrath [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
