All the "sound" debating/comments.

I haven't seen anyone comment on the video posted by faithkiller on the main blog site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjQgyMmpv38

After watching (and hearing that) I'd say a lot of ambient sounds are definitely in - at least enough to satisfy me anyway.

I can't complain. I never felt that some sound was missing but I agree that when someone mentions the sounds some of them feel strange and are just average. They do not stand out but they are also not bad and simply feel in place and right. The directional sound works perfectly. I think that not everyone will like the music. I like it as ambiet music even though it's just one track. It's subtle enough to not turn it off and instead let it run as nice background music. Except for Age of Conan the last few MMOs did not have any music that I didn't turn off after a while.

I almost like the no music ... The atmophere sounds could be better, but It seems like this game is going to be pretty immersive. The foot tapping is too loud though.

I will admit the only issue i have with the sound is the foot steps when they are walking on like stone pathways and such. It does yeah sound like they are walkin on stone but its just a bit on the loud side.

I'm sure there will be sliders for different sound effects, so you can turn-down the footstep loudness.

No, that's just a music track. No ambient sounds yet. Or rather it's an ambience track..maybe. But no smoke/fire, etc sounds.

Go to 4:10, as he walks closer to the doorway/gateway out of that area, you can hear the wind pickup (And see a banner/flag waving on the far wall). Is that not ambient sound? Maybe I'm confused about the terminology.

Seems about right to me

Ambient music is a musical genre in which sound is more important than notes. It is generally identifiable as being broadly atmospheric and environmental in nature.

Granted it's 'music' and not 'sound', regardless I argue for our purposes the terms are interchangeable.

That wind is strange, it's more like some weird synth sound than an actual wind sound.

There's still a bit missing, but we'll see what they do.

I actually like the sfx, it makes the game seem more classic, but that is a good thing. Just watching the guy play though somehow mesmorized me. I felt very into it even though Ive never played. The only thing I think was dumb was the screench high pitched sound of that blue mana bolt or wahtever it was he shot. They should make it at least sound a bit more powerful, because the entire time I was watching the video, something felt epic and classic, then all of a sudden I get this pee-shooter vibe.
