Request - changes to the announcer NPC tone

[chippy]

I want Microsoft Sam back.

Of course urine that exits the body wouldn’t be sterile, but I’d have still thought it sterile at the point it leaves the kidneys.

Well I also. But obviously they found it is not.

… I’d bet there’s a nice little flower picking simulator somewhere out there…

facepalm

Sometimes one is just not in the mood to hear other people’s attitude. In the real world it can’t be turned off but this is a game. Could even be part of the monetization plan - voice packs.
Furthermore, there is a discrepancy of behaviour to the commander’s dialogue. In game he’s pushing for results but if you lose he’ll just go “you tried” (or something similar, in a soft tone).
I do enjoy some emotion in the voice acting, but I’d like the option to have a non judgemental NPC as a commander. (not to be confused with ‘politically correct’)
I’m also in favour of having a harsh NPC commander as an option, for those nostalgic of their time in the armed forces or those who just like it like that.

Lucky you’ve never played QW, you don’t want to know what the Makron would do to you…

lolwut? does it hurt you to go outside and hear people talk? do you cringe when you hear people yell? do you pee yourself when they yell at you? yikes.

i understand what you’re saying, but of all of the shortcomings of this beta, this is what you’re concerned about? an npc voice yelling at you?

I pee myself just a bit if a squirrel looks at me funny.

“Yes, it’s of the utmost priority!”
Obviously not! But the forum is for all the subjects. And it’s up to SD to set their priorities on what needs and doesn’t need changed.
I don’t have hopes for different commander voicepacks but who knows? There might be a slow day in the SD offices in the future, after the game has launched. So I decided to put it out there regardless.

I was nevertheless surprised from the seemingly resistance from other users, as if I’m saying some sort of heresy.
Yes, I would much prefer the writing of the dialogue to be adjusted from down putting to encouraging. Have emotion in (make it sound urgent) but adjust the wording.

Also, that squirl looks scary, I hope they don’t make it into a merc in DB
