valid Old Sounds when Legacy Skins are Equipped

[2shots2kills 2,367]

Most of us use Legacy Skins as a way to connect to the past and remember the good old times, but some Turrets have had their sounds changed. It just doesn't seem right to look at a Legacy Twins and not hear the classic sound we all knew and hated loved.

 

Yes, so far only two Turrets have been changed, but remember that a lot more will be reworked into HD and might have a sound swap from TX or a new one entirely. 

 

So, I simply suggest to have the old sounds play when you have a LC Skin equipped.

Valid 

Not approved for the current LC skins because that would come under "Reversion of updates", but for the upcoming LC skins which are planned to come, this idea becomes valid.

Hmm I don´t really think it would be reversal of updated in any case, because OP only suggests the sounds to be an addition to the skin itself, not globally in the game. The same way addition of new LC skins would be reversal of updates as well.

Technically no, because the skins are not brought back as the baseline and fixed skins as they were before in 2010, now just as a separate cosmetic. Earlier time, LCs were the only skins you could play with, meaning they were the fixed for the turret, but now HD has taken over, and they came back as an additional extravaganza.

As for the sound, when it is applied, it is fixed and permanent, you don't have any other alternatives like you have with the skin mechanism, (dont have the option to choose between multiple sounds you prefer unlike the skins) hence bringing back the sound would be reversion of the update in the true sense, but bringing of LC now is considered an extra feature towards the game.

Umh, maybe it could be applied client-side, so only for the Tanker actually playing with the Skin equipped. All the other players would instead hear the default sounds.

I upvote this idea by 1000x 

This needs to be a thing

This idea is good.

Here's a workaround. The Hull sounds were to update the sound of Hulls, but not necessarily for Skins

So in the future an idea that has been proposed before is that perhaps each Skin type can have different sounds?

I fear that may be tough resource-wise but might be possible ^^

With the recent addition of Blaster shot effect for rico (which also alters the sound effect), an idea came to my mind, why not make LC shot effects? They would have the shape and colour of the respective m3 turret, all with the original sound effect included. I know someone wanted to bring back the old isida beam, this way it would be possible too.

What do you think?

I like this, it would be even easier than the idea I came up with in the first place.

Other than the sound, we could have the original Ricochet plasma ball, the og Thunder explosion, etc
