Where are all the sound effects???

HappyFunBall

I know I tried this game once, but when I just tried it again (yesterday) it seemed completely different, and I didn't remember a thing... anyway...

So far, I like this game, but for some reason I can't understand, where are all the sound effects?

I mean, I don't feel immersed at all, because the lack of sound effects when I walk, cast certain (most) spells (I'm a summoner), attack and get attacked (sound effects are there, but very minimal) and many other types of sound effects are just plain absent from the game.  One might think this isn't a big deal, but I don't really feel like I'm playing the game when I'm actually playing it, as most of what I do has almost 0 audio feedback.  This seems like a no-brainer, and even the crappiest of MMO have sound effects for everything you toon does, and audio feedback from the environment as well.

Is this something they are going to add?  Is it a bug?  Or is this "as (badly) designed".

Not all the sound effects are gone, but they do seem  to have messed a few of them up. I especially liked the Ice flow sound effect from mages, I really miss that one. However many sound effects are still there, some back after a period with almost no sounds. If you still have it installed try it again, it might be a bit better already.

Check https://soundeffekte.net/ soundeffekte.net and search Fantasy or Sci-Fi for sounds like battle, magic, or space that fit Allods Online.

That lack of sound effects can really kill the vibe ?. From what I know, it's not a bug, it's kinda how the game was designed, but you're definitely not alone in thinking it feels off. The audio in Allods Online has been a long-standing issue for some players, especially with specific classes like summoners or certain spells. It doesn't seem like the devs are planning any major sound overhaul, at least from the info I've seen.
