anyone else cringe when they hear the sythe sound?

I really like the new scythe sound!

It sounds slicey!
Painfully sharp noise, like slicing metal is supposed to sound like!
I can always go "oh shit that's a scythe at my base!"

I use pretty low ingame volume and the sound seems decent. It always manages to catch my attention. Maybe it should be less annoying when allies use Scythes though, 'cause then the warning is not needed.

After some live testing i think the new one can lose some pitch (becoming slightly lower) and maybe a little of its pitch variation.

It seems generally OK (only a few people seem to hate it), but sometimes the pitch variation thing will make it too high for comfort.

Additionally, it needs more priority, because otherwise it's not always audible when there's a lot of stuff going on.

The old one was easily on top3 of most inappropriate weapon sounds in ZK. Surely, you get used to this, but when i made my first Scythe and it made the hammer-barrel sound i was like this:

"It doesn't sound like it does look, and it does not fit what it does"

No it is not steel.
It is glowing, which means it uses energy/plasma/antimater/whatever technobabble to cut through the enemy, and not some archaic metal.

I think it's mostly a pitch thing- everything else has a nice low pitch and then there's suddenly that really squeaky sound. lol

Just steal some openly available pseudo lightsaber sound, for fucks sake.

I'm okay with the sound except for the strange brief sound of a zipper unzipping at the very beginning.

quote: Won't work, sorry. Your game will be unsynced. Better to resolve the issue properly by fixing the sound itself.

A while back I was messing around with textures and replaced some without desyncing. I don't see why sounds would be different.

I can't fix the sound it's self as that would mean changing it for everyone else.
it's not something that has to be changed, it's just somewhat unpleasent
