I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this. It made my day!
Zomg! Jokes on the devs now because this would be such a cool feature to add to the options menu! The whining for it has already begun!! Seriously, I so wanted to have my goofy 60's Batman version of CoX!!!
Personally, one of the things I like about the CoX games is that it's a comic book game without being too cheesy. I won't be turning this game feature on. To me, it would detract from the quality of my game-play experience. It's like putting all of those "visual sounds" from the old Batman TV series into the "Heroes" one.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are people out there who will like this. I'm glad the game is trying to be innovative and come up with options that appeal to a wide range of individuals. For me though, this one doesn't work.
And I have to say it... I'm constantly perplexed by introducing new fluff features such as this, when there are things in the game that are broken and need attention in a bad way (e.g. PVP balancing, base items that don't work, the Cathedral of Pain Trial, etc. etc.). Let's focus on the things that people REALLY want and have been asking for and not waste time on stuff like this. Or at least not until everything else that we've been asking for has been fixed or given to us.

People don't actually READ. What's wrong with you. They cancelled 'reading' at the Internet front door.

I must confess, I was totally fished in until I read the very last line on the page. Gratz to all those who cooked this up.

In case you got this far (or only found this through the Dev Tracker)...
Visual Sounds are NOT going into the game. We are NOT deleting all your sounds off your hard drive. This was NCNorCal's internet prank for April 1st, 2008.

I think it's so very sad that a redname actually had to come and confirm this even though it's actually written right there on the page... *reading comprehension for the win*
It'd be cute. But ... eugh, really no. I didn't much even care for it in the offline game which used it. (was that freedom force or HeroX? I think it was HeroX, because I didn't really play ff much.)

I knew this was a prank, but I seriously thought it was cool. I love the old batman series, and this would be great. But alas, I am left alone with my noises
Gimmeh mah FREEM! and BUDDA-BUDDA-BUD and such! Visual sounds as an option would be amazing. It'd also help those who are hard of hearing or deaf.
