The Zerg Adjutant's Voice Has Got To Go

[KDraconis]

"Not enough... MINERAAAAALS."

No thanks.

Kill it.... With fire!!!!

[Caliban113]

Question... Is this genuine dislike, nostalgiaism or just a knee jerk reflex? Only time will tell, I guess.

Well, maybe its not exactly 'kill it with fire' caliber, but it definitely cant be this annoying, this soon.....Eventually, every response in every RTS will get to you after a bit, (Even, "GO! GO! GO!" three times in a row can piss me off).....but this is close to, "Big boy...training" level of annoyance....

WTB Overmind voice

God, this female voice is horrible. Doesn't sound Zerg at all.
At least the Overmind sounded creepy and alien and as though it was a compound mind speaking.

Why did they think that would be even a good stand-in? The time it takes for it to convey it's message is relatively long.

Adjutant: "Weee aaaare --"

Player: "Yes yes, go on!"

*hive cluster is destroyed*

Adjutant: "Undeerrrrr attaaaack!"

Player: "Wait, what?!"


BTW Drakonis, loving the avatar. Higurachi, eh?

[Crazy_Jonny]

Yeah, the Zerg Adjutant sucks, and that's not the nostalgia talking either (plus I'm not even a Zerg player). The others sound different, but are still awesome.

It can still be female, but make it less slithery and put it through more filters.

I'm pretty convinced its a placeholder.

I really have no feeling one way or the other, I guess it could be better, but I'm not getting the want to puke reaction you guys are.

Agreed.

As for it taking too long to relay its message, are you sure that's not just an illusion due to its draggy/exaggerated pronunciation (i.e. it only seems/feels longer than it actually is)? Think about it... Blizzard has all the sound files on hand and can see their respective durations. Would they implement an alarm set that is appreciably longer than the others?

[Brutaxilos]

its sounds really lame... also id prefer if it talked a bit faster cuz alot of this stuff are pretty important in a competitve game

[Visions of Khas]

Mm, no, it does take it longer. No illusion. I listened to the other Advisers, who are swift and efficient. I suppose the sound designers will think frequent players will memorize the warnings and know what it'll say with the first syllable, or something like that. Still doesn't really help though.
