Maybe it's because I'm a musician... But I hear a big difference in sound since the event update. It sounds more canny (wich is bad, has been bad before too). But on the same hand I hear more high frequences (wich is good). Overall it tends to give me a little headache.
Did anyone notice that (the sound change, not my headache, mind you)?

Who even listens to the game sounds?!
Most players, like me, like it silent when we play.

I have heard a difference. There is also a difference in certain skills used by rogue and war. Don't know about mage tho lol. I usually don't pay attention tho. Music is never on.

Well... thanks. But my question goes out to STS and the players who actually do play with sound and music on (like me).

Yes they did - and its annoying sound.
Music at start. Some of the class skill - like "charge skill"
This two I noticed. I hope they back to old sound.

i play with the sound off. When i used to pvp i'd have the sound on because u can hear people charging their skills before u can see them sometimes. Plus I just bought a record player and have started listening to old blues and jazz records while playing. I'm old school G. :)

I have noticed a "steel clap" was added to dropping Sorcerer's clock. Pretty annoying too.
For some reason, I had this sound associated with Valkin.

Other than correcting some bad links to samples, nothing has changed in the audio.

Of course, I've always been the first to question my sanity. :P
On the topic of changes: is it me, or are the giant blue glacian-like guys in Nordr a darker blue?

Then you have an issue that you might want to investigate.
The sound has definitly changed. The sound of the MUSIC has changed. There are more high frequencies and the mids are very compressed. Those things happen usually when you play around with the compression rate of your mp3, avv files, whatever you are using. So maybe after fixing some links, some dev exported or changed or what ever those settings. I have no idea, I'm no dev.
But I have ears, good ears. And the new sound is not benefitting the enjoyment of the game. It occasionally hurts (physically) my ears. And I bet a lot of those players (who actually have sound turned on) too.
I'm not whining, just remarking. If there is a chance to fix this I surely would be more than happy, because so far I was very happy with the sounds and samples.
