neogeo0823 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 wow! i just read the behind the scenes for september and this sounds interesting. "The way we use sound in the free and members' games will be getting another massive boost from the inclusion of area sounds. These area sounds add a new level of immersion into our game world, with waterfalls growing louder as you walk towards them, trees with birds and animal sounds in them, bubbling fountains, wind whistling through the mountains, the sound of the sea lapping against the shore and mysterious howls haunting the peaks of the Wilderness. It really does add a new dimension to the game, and we have enjoyed developing them immensely." so it seems that we will be able to hear sounds in proximity to objects that make sounds. i, personally, cant wait to be able to hear that! i always loved fishing in catherby and listening to the music, which sounds like waves lapping up on the shoreline. ive always wanted to know how loud the waterfall from the waterfall quest was, or how hard the winds blow through the deserts and mountains alike. and it would be really cool to actually hear the blobs of lava falling down upon you as you recharge your prayer in the wilderness' east chaos temple. so whats your opinion on this? I couldn't care less if he was Andrew Gower himself, I just don't like arrogant smegheads. *in the voice of the comic book guy from the simpsons* best. quote.

Pinkbullet3 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 I shows that the Jagex workers are trying to improve RuneScape little by little... and they seem to be doing a pretty good job. Now if only they could do something about those darn macroers... :evil: ^ Blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neogeo0823 Posted September 2, 2006 Author Share Posted September 2, 2006 wow, that was a quick responce... ...anyway, it always did puzzle me why people were always so angry with jagex for not updating some section of the map, or giving a better look to this or that, or whatever. theyre working on it, and i think that the work theyve done so far is really cool. on the subject of macroers, they develop right along side jagex. as jagex develops systems to fight them, new macros come out to fight the systems. its a viscous cycle. I couldn't care less if he was Andrew Gower himself, I just don't like arrogant smegheads. *in the voice of the comic book guy from the simpsons* best. quote.

adsoneman Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 having area sounds will add more immersion and role playing atmosphere, i think it will be a good improvment, lets hope they dont sound like all the other terrible sounds. http://www.benjaminhanke.net/RuneScape% ... =atlas.htm click this link to see the utter madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matey Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 It's nice to know they're improving aspects of the game like that, but it's a shame I don't have RS music or sounds on (normally anyway). Maybe if they're good I'll have it on more often :P . To hell with humanity;The more I see, the less I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I think the game will be alot better when these new sounds are added. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomster Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Maybe "background and atmosphere" isn't as difficult as we thought. Actually, since an update or two ago, you can hear other players chicken-whacking, and I think when a random teleports someone. Might be a degree of anti-macro in it, as if you can hear sounds other than your own, it screws up a potential incident detection method for macros. Now if they REALLY wanted to impress us - synthesized speech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imaleber Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Sounds like a great idea, i might actually use rs music for the first time ever.. 99 Ranged F2P achieved 21 November (2961st) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
