POE2 trailer 2 - Sound cue from changing crossbow bolts
I noticed that the sound of changing bolts felt off. I do love the idea of audiotory cues in addition to visual ones.
Perhaps instead of the character saying "Permafrost bolts" or "Incendiary bolts" it could be something directed towards the enemies, instead of the character simply talking to themselves/the player. Activating the permafrost bolts could trigger the character saying "FREEZE!" and incendiary bolts could be "BURN!". Some audio engineering tricks could perhaps make this audio cue more pronounced aswell, by fading background noise a tiny bit during the change. This would make the changing of bolts very clear and feel more natural. Looking forward to POE 2, I'm hyped. Last bumped on Apr 11, 2021, 6:51:35 PM

Thanks for the feedback! The audio cues will be optional and we have some systems in place that make the other sounds fade out when the character speaks. However, we really liked your ideas and have shared them with the team.
