Okay so I just logged on after taking the last day off the game, and now I'm getting strange audio cues. Whenever I press any tab in the game like characters or BOFFs or open menus, there has always been little computerized beeps and blips. Today, though, something sounded very off, and I increased the volume only to hear the computer blips and beeps replaced by what sounds like people verbalizing bips and bleeps in a weird comedic way like "BIING!" and "MEEP!". I even turned up all game volumes to confirm that this is indeed coming from the game. In fact, it also plays a weird groaning sound when I balance my freaking shields! What the hell did the devs do to bork the game this time?
I have severe audio issues but also can't play in silence without the sound effects, so this is triggering my autism pretty badly. What is going on? Why were the in-game sounds changed suddenly? It never did this before. Seriously, this needs to be fixed immediately because I can't play the game right now. Specifically, it's the Interface that has the issue with the disconcerting sounds. I have never seen such incompetence in my life!
Its not a bug.
Its been part of their april fools day ritual for the last couple of years.
if you look to your right of screen ingame you will see a tab named "Artisanal sound, click it and it will turn off and sounds will return to normal for you..
