True, but at least she's quite pleasant to listen to (with volume turned down).
And the Ferengi sounds exactly like a Ferengi. It brings fond memories (with volume turned down).
There's nothing good I can say about the chef (not even with volume turned down).
So for the Wonderland to become almost perfect:
1) Get rid of the chef VO.
2) Turn down the volume on the 2 remaining Gazebo speakers.
3) Space their VO by a minute or two.
Voila!

I laugh every time. The "uh-oh" lady is kind of annoying (except for that part about Q loving all the little creatures, even me!) but the rest are funny and I only hear them when I get close to them. There's probably some spot on there that's far enough away from all of them that you don't hear them, but I don't really stand around in the beam in area. There's too many nefarious snowmen around!
When I first went in there and heard the voice overs.. I thought.. "Oh cool.. they added Voice overs.."
By the 5th time they repeated their Jargon, I ran off to make sure that character had it's snowmen and was GLAD I did.. I didn't WANT to go back to the Gazebo.. Or if I did.. I'd want a +5 Vorpal Longsword to slay it with..
You think that your beta test was bad?

Without a doubt, these voice overs are the single most annoying thing about the Winter Event. Please, do us all a Christmas/winter celebration of your choice miracle and turn the volume on them down and/or reduce the frequency of their shrill voices.
I can fiddle the Audio to make everything ok except for ambient - the pie gobbling comes through that, and of course normally ambient adds to the relaxing bit.
The voices are just too much. While adjusting could you also make it so only those participating in the pie eating contest can hear the scarffing, thanks.
I agree. One of the things I enjoyed about Q's Winter Wonderland last year was that it could be relaxing. Between races and snowball fights I could just stand on the Gazebo, look at the well-done scenery, listen to the Christmas music, and (metaphorically) chill. These grating voices ruin that.
THIS!!! But removing them is a bit much, make it 3-5 min apart... not every 3:rd second.
Driving me insane! Especially when you are checking the exchange for a longer period of time.
Devs can't have done much thinking about this ... or as someone said, maybe this is a bug. And if they change it.. They will call it a bug no matter what the truth is!
All this voiceover makes me want to punch an Epohh.
Actually, the voices could stay, but their frequency really should be reduced significantly. Either that or the distance from where you hear them should be reduced to an area just next to a particular NPC, if possible.
When you're in the middle of the gazebo you hear something every 3-5 seconds non-stop. And its all the same two or three lines per character in an annoying loop. It's really starting to get on my nerves.
Like someone said, I really enjoyed previous Winter Wonderland events, mainly thanks to the scenery and music. It was actually relaxing, in a way. This year, though, I need to get away from the gazebo or mute my sound completely to stay there longer than 1 minute...
And the Romulan Epohh researcher really made me despise those creatures. Not sure what's up with Cryptic and romulan female characters voiceover - the one from Sphere of Influence was terrible as well. Same VA by any chance?
This makes me feel sad for the guy saying it. I mean, the only way this could be true is if the poor guy never met anyone else in his entire life. Granted, this whole event is probably just an elaborate illusion created by Q to service his personal bias...
But even so. We are NOT a bunch of developmentally challenged 4-year-olds here. And I certainly don't want to remember when I was. NONE if the gingerbread stuff is necessary. It's like adding fluff to an already excellent winter map. I keep wondering where the booth is to sit in Santa's lap and beg for overpriced useless objects. Maybe in the yeti's cave someplace?

I agree fully, my favorite part about the winter event last year was the relaxing atmosphere. Those voiceovers kill the feel of the area.

"Join Date: Jun 2012" Says Cryptic's "new" forum system. I've been here since a week before launch, but SOME stuff just didn't carry over through multiple system changes/updates. :rolleyes:

Don't make ARC mandatory! Keep it optional only!

It's just the same dialog over and over and over and over and over...
This is one of the things that drove me away from NW. You can't go anywhere in town without constant repetitive dialog spam.
Please don't make this a thing in STO.

To me, Truffles looks and sounds just like SNL's Mr. Bill.
