Is there a way to mute just harpies?

[Bathory]

They were probably thinking "Hmmm, what does a harpy sound like"

[Ghrog]

Oh god.. THIS... SO THIS.

Their mindless overconfident screeching is only barely more annoying than quest givers telling my HORDE SHAMAN, "For the Alliance!" when I turn in a quest. I seriously want to Bloodlust and violate their throathole with Doomhammer over and over again until they suffocate on it.

[Dartz1979]

I legit feel like killing myself whenever I fucking hear their shrieks. What the fuck was the VO director thinking when they okayed this?!

yea but did you not pay clos attention to the harpys model damn i want a transmog like that.

[Kaosadvokit]

"Silent World Quests" addon is a head-ache saver.

[Resentless]

Greymane's forces hold this warden tower! Break their ranks! Show no mercy!

But this is awesome. I love hearing it every time. SHOW NO MERCY is the best damn line the new (i guess she's had the role longer than the old one now) VA has said.

[Varaben]

I legit feel like killing myself whenever I fucking hear their shrieks. What the fuck was the VO director thinking when they okayed this?!

I love it, but I can see why you would be irked. Sounded like the voice actor had a lot of fun with it.

Gives me more incentive to kill them faster.

[Toast515]

I guess no one remembers this...

[Saverem]

Rather mute the addicts of Suramar.. AN ILLUSION!?11 WHAT ARE YOU HIDING!?11

At least those serve a purpose of making you aware that they noticed you and lets you know when to GTFO.

[FelPlague]

Where are you quoting this from, or where are you getting the info? Please link. Cause nothing what I'm reading mentions them becoming screechy, scratchy, horrible sounding, etc.

- - - Updated - - -

Nevermind. Just found it - http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/g...?deity=HARPIES

Godchecker. LOL. You understand that's not the actual lore, right? Try reading this website:

http://www.mythicalcreaturesguide.com/m/page/Harpy

Here's another page, which you copy/pasted from, but has no mention of screeching or sounding horrible.

http://search.credoreference.com/con...reek_mythology

Also, if you're going to quote something written by someone else, you really should put it as a quote and add a link.

i said time and time again i was qouting stuff from the internet, multiple multiple scources talking about how they turned into disgusting wicked beasts of torture and sin ugly and gruesome



its pretty fucking simple though
harpies dont exist so they can only go off past lore
the past loreo n harpies doesent really mention voice, but calls them ugly wretched creatures
they are half bird of prey, half women, so of course their voice is going to be screechy
imaging pairing a womens voice with a cawing eagle...
i dont see your argument for why they should sound pleasant...

[Lord Pebbleton]

A garrison in this warden's tower would be a vital strategic victory. Drive the forsaken from it, for Gilneas!

[Fappy]

This thread is comedy gold.

[Saverem]

They are harpies. They are supposed to sound like talons on a chalkboard.

And getting hit by a sword is supposed to hurt. Do you want the game to slice you with a saber whenever they slash your character too?

I'll look into that. It also mutes harpies?

[Kaosadvokit]

It unfortunately does not. I was just referring to the comment about "Aw-Nuts!".

Rawrk no you can't have the password to my phone Rawrk!

[FelPlague]

I've read multiple pages about (legitimate) harpy lore, and none of them describe them as being loud, screeching creatures. So, you're really just assuming they are based off of their outer appearance, which really doesn't prove anything, especially when many mythological creature were said to look/smell/act horrible, yet some sounded quite feminine or good (not evil sounding).

Even in your first post to me, you say:

"May sound horrible" isn't evidence that the lore described them as sounding horrible. That's just your assumption.

and what is your evidence they may not sound horrible?
thats the point, the creatures have every right to sound horrible, they are half bird of prey half women, and they are vile creatures, so why do you go "oh they must sound good then"

[Deleted]

turn off sound like all good mmo players do.

That is so wrong.

" They have broad wings, a human neck and face,

Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw
Their lamentations in the eerie trees.
"

They are bird creatures inheritly, and they caw. Cawing, as you may know, is mostly described to the sound of which a Crow or Raven would make, unlike the chirping of a Bird or unlike the voice of a spoken person.

Which, then we left with to conclude, that if a person were to.. caw their words, or worse yet, screech their words (Harpies are described as vicious from several sources, and thieves) - Thus, it's not a unnatural thought to think that a Harpy, being upset, that normally caws, would resort to screech to reach a higher pitch.

It's just logical, really.

Much akin to how a person who would normally have a speaking voice (beautiful or not), will sound less favorable when raised to a shouting voice.

[Relapses]

Oh yeah. If I had time, I'd totally do the same thing this guy did to his Morrowind sound files.

Unsure if it's been linked, but this is even better:



OT: I think you can actually delete the sound files for the harpies but I can't be arsed to find it. I remember seeing this recommended as a resolution for SPriests complaining about the sound of Sphere of Insanity.

[Surfd]

And getting hit by a sword is supposed to hurt. Do you want the game to slice you with a saber whenever they slash your character too?

I will pretend that your comparison wasn't completely and utterly moronic on a number of levels, and point out that there are thousands of games with haptic feedback that already exist, so I guess sure, somewhere out there there very well might be a demand for that kind of realistic feedback on the non aural front.
