Nerf Demons

Got your attention? Good.

In the name of all that is unholy, please please please please please make Demons stop yelling every 5 seconds. It's obnoxious, especially when everyone and their kid brother has their pets following them around everywhere, including the Black Market. It also makes me not even want to play the set (I had been planning on it when GR goes live, but not if I have to deal with that).

If you and a friend get them all lined up they'll sing in harmony. Unfortunately, you can neither buy Coke in game or even steal one.

With enough MMs and some good timing it should be possible to produce recognizable songs.

But once the novelty of an all Demon Chorus wears off I'll have to agree with you. Those are some noisy pets.

I have to agree with this one. I tend to dismiss mine as soon as I exit a mission unless I know I am going directly into the another mission specifically because I find them to be a bit loud and annoying. Even dropping the volume of sound effects is not a great solution because the demons seem to be a bit louder than other sound effects, so by the time the demons level is even halfway calm, everything else is completely inaudible.

If nothing else, consider dropping the volume level so that is more in line with other sound effects.

I was hoping this was a suggestion for a blaster set whereupon you fired squishy demons at enemies from your garishly-coloured plastic hellcannon.

Thread Diversification: this thread is now also for this suggestion. Discuss.

/signed Im tired of the animal farm running cov atm, not only do they look like cows they squeel like pigs every few seconds.

Anyone would have thought it was a celebration for them bringing AE farming back after the nerf for them to make a farmyard themed set :P

I love me some Demon Summoning, but, yeah.

Very noisy pets, they are.

In fact, this was the complaint I lodged to the team I was playing with the other day. I am the only player, it seems, using a non-MM most times I play, and on any team I join it seems like ALL I hear is screaming demons (hmmm, a good band name, that). It really is getting old. However, it won't be as bad in a month or so.

The only thing I find more aggravating than the noise the demons make (a bunch of the sounds aren't even good either imo, one sounds like some sort of drone) is when I'm in the costume editor and a rikti bomb raid is shaking the screen every few seconds.

At least the latter happens rarely and I can disable screen shake. Shut those friggin' demons up please.

The sound was repeatedly complained about in beta (mostly ember shield though) and this is the "best" version we have so I doubt a fix will be coming any time soon.

Yeah, dont get rid of the sound entirely, cos it is kinda cool to have pets with actual idle animation, but NOT ever damn 5 secs, sometimes back to back, and thats just the one demon.

It can get really annoying at times, especially in the tailor or, heck, just standing around chatting.
