Well, it appears we have been bait-and-switch'd, since The final patch notes make no mention of the shatter sound. (the tentative, earlier ones did, which means GGG deleted them)

Probably “technical issues” with the new sound. :p Still don’t buy that about the old sound. It would be nice to at least get a more reasonable explanation for changing something that so many people actually really liked that wasn’t a balance thing, just aesthetics. Seems like some sound guy just thought he had a better sound effect and doesn’t want to admit the original was already best. That’ll be my assumption until I hear a better explanation anyway. ;)

the courage to challenge any unbalanced content, and the wisdom to avoid the forums.

You may want to hear a better explanation but i want to HEAR OLD SHATTER SOUND.

Joke aside, i can undertand that they wanted to improve performance, what i dont get is why they completly replaced the sound instead of fixing the issues with the old one.
fix the old shatter sound GGG. It's really sad that even every herald Mtx has the same garbage sound now.
I opened game excitedly, cuz i knew that 3.8.1 will make an update to shatter sound, but while the game started, and couldn't wait to kill smth to see what's updated for the sound, but at the end, GGG just pushed me into another cliff.. nothing changed alright!? still a disastor to players who loved the old shatter sound. although there's some tecnical problem, but couldn't fix it? make exiles happy again pls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I beg GGG
GGG loves removing iconic sounds in this game. Lioneye's Watch theme was removed, and now the original shatter sound fx is gone.

Replacing the Lioneye's Watch theme is equivalent to Diablo 2 changing their title theme song. Hopefully that gives you an idea where GGG is at nowadays, it's truly pathetic.

As I’ve read t new patch notes there’s nothing about it! Just want to ask if anything changed since before patch? Cos GGG said that there will b some changes to it in 3.8.1.. Any one can tell me if anything changed? I’m stuck at work for few days...


Hey,

We certainly had planned to change the sound, but after further testing, we determined to not go with it.
A new version is currently in the works, but I can't say if we'll go with that either, or when we'll deploy it in a patch.


So, still a WIP. ='[.]'=
