TOS Phaser Sound Spam

in Tribble - General Discussion and Feedback
Does anyone else find the TOS phaser sounds in STO really annoying since it plays for each beam and can make broadsiding extremely irritating. Could this be fixed so that the sound file only plays once per beam or something? I often mute my sound when playing Tribble because its so annoying :P

    I admit it's a bit jarring, since we're firing far faster than the TOS ships ever did (I think they had a recharge thing going on, but I'm not sure).

    But...it's the canon sounds, so whatcha gonna do? I suppose they could vary the pitch so they sound a bit different when fired in succession, though there may be some restrictions on what they can do to the original sounds.

    I used to use all TOS on one of my normal fed characters for the blue beams ... ended up ditching them cause of the sound, lol. If we get TMP phasers by any chance then I'll be using those on my TOS character, otherwise I might go with andorian.

    Maybe a little heavy but I love that horrible crash when my shields take a hit.

    Phaser sounds I am on the fence about, but the TOS photon sounds are awesome. No more dull ping of TNG torps, a good solid POW when you launch them! I also like the turret/cannon effect sounds and visuals much better than the main game ones.

    Sounds are fine. I used to use a whole set of retrofit so I could tell just how fast I was firing compared to others in the PvE queues. The "new" shield hit and torp launcher sfx are great as well. Hope to hear soon on what TOS cannon fire will be like. Even if I suspect that it will be pulled from JJTrek instead.

    My only complaint against the TOS blue phasers is that the volume for them is set too high. The actual sound itself is fine, but it's too loud (especially with more than one Phaser Array).
