I don't get why it's so annoying anyway D: It's really not loud at all, and I actually think it's kinda neat to hear howls and stuff in the distance all the time~ It's like ambiance, lol~!

I don't find it annoying.  In fact I like it.  The howls/roars make the larger maps feel more alive.

Can see though how some might be annoyed.  Might be a bit overdone on bonfire.  It's new and people gotta play, It will lessen over time.
When the path ends, keep going forward and make a new trail.

By tommorow people will have lost intereset in it, its a new action let them be. There is a mute for a reason if it annoys you then turn off the sound. You can keep the music on if you wish, but there is option to ONLY mute that kind of thing.

So please people we want updates like this to keep coming and if you all tear it apart and only look at the negetives then we will stop getting these updates, please just stay focessed on the possitives ^^.

As written before. Most will probably loose interest with time.

I do understand if some find it annoying. If you do spend quite some time in the game, the howling/roar gets really derrp xd. Sure you can turn off the sound in the game, but then you wouldn't hear anything else at all.

But it is true, it is somewhat funny that some people want this howl/roar, get it, and then don't want it.

Lets just hope it will tone down though, cause the amount right now when playing in a public map is out of question way too much.

I personally find the overuse of howl extremely annoying right now, and I'm not lying when I say that there's probably max 2 seconds breaks at most in bonfire before hearing 1 or more howls again.

I did something about it though that would please me, and I'm sure anyone could do this.

Find the "howl1" sound inside the sounds folder.

Open it up with any audio editing/recording software

Change the sound level to nothing at all, and save the sound clip with the same name.

Next time  when you run FH, it will play a sound with no sound xD.

Works like a charm.

I'm not sure if you even need the mp3 at all. But I did this instead of removing it since I thought it might give you some error about a missing file or crash everytime someone used the action.


Overall, give it some time and let people get bored of it. If that doesn't happen, you can always do what's mentioned above.

I gotta say I didn't even know about the roar/howling O.o it was a full moon where I was and was like wait the game is night time, there's a full moon, I heard wolves howling, I thought that was part of the game at that point XD but then I heard a lion roar and was like wait, how are they doing that!? lol found out and was like, oh kool ^^ and yes people started to complain about the wolves howling all day yesterday, saying that it's more annoying then the actual lion roar... O.O I don't mind hearing it, it's very kool to have a social call, like natural predators, but people take it too seriously.

I have to say I love the roar and howl actions and emotes, it gives more to the game. Its not very loud and my computer is always low volume anyway so I barely notice it. Even so, its easy to mute or turn down if needed and like the admin said, just a file click away to permanently disregard it. Those who are complaining need not do so, there is more than one way to 'peal a potato' so to speak.

Enjoy the game, have fun!

I dont see the problem with the roars and howls, although the howls could be a little deeper or lower sounding.

It's really bad in the starting area but then again everything is bad there. Outside of the Bonfire it's not bad, I like hearing it in the distance.
