Blown out ears results in the ringing ear effect.

[Dirty Old Harry]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): So when you are near a explosive when it goes off, you'll get the ringing ear effect as heard here: https://youtu.be/rHTinEcgLn0.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): This should really only add some immersion.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Not just immersion but the effect should die down after a while which lets you know when you can hear others or even let you know how close you are to death at the hands of a screeching Queen. Obviously the effect shouldn't play if you get gibbed from the explosive.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):

OOOO BOOOOOOY WE HAVE SOMEONE SUGGESTED THIS.

+1

Also as an effect once it starts to lower itself, the sound of the game slowly gets louder.

Funny story actually, first time i got blown up with a brick of C4 and survived i thought it did this sound but then i just realised it was my own ears that had popped.

Goddamned Motherfucking Tinnitus.

This would be really great if it was implemented +1

[NoahKirchner]

Oh jeeze, this'd be a fantastic update. It's not just QOL so you can stop saying things to see if you can hear yet, but it's ALSO incredibly immersive.

Take my +1s!

[apophis775]

Stickied for review. This probably probably be a Rahl thing since he's our "soundomancer"

[Lucius Jones]

+1 yes, I want this. So much of the yes

[Sneakyr]

I can't see it as being anything other than annoying, but I suppose if implemented properly it could be useful and immersive. Tentative +1

[Sarah_U.]

Please put a toggle on it. I really get annoyed by COD's ringing effect and most non-ambient midis.

I'm fine with it, but that's one of the things I can't say yes or no to; It's good, but annoys me more than it add any sences of immersion (I can read if you simply add a "Your ears starts ringing.")

[Snypehunter007]

This would be interesting but I am worried about it being too "annoying" sound wise.

[Telegnats]

I can positively say that every time I have heard this in every game I play, it has been the most irritating fucking noise and adds absolutely nothing to game play.

[NoahKirchner]

Maybe have the noise start as off on default, requiring a preference change to turn it on?

[Sarah_U.]

What Noah said, add a field that's named like "Loud noises & Additional sounds: Yes/No" and only run the sound clientside if the field is on...?

[UltimateShrekFan]

Is it too late to -1 this? As someone who has some serious tinnitus from being around too many explosions, sounds like this in video games are cancer and actually hurt to listen to.

As Sarah suggested there should be a option to turn it off, also i feel your pain man. Tinnitus fuckin' sucks ass.

[adamkad2]

Yup, good stuff, +1

[Dirty Old Harry]

I shoulda made the suggestion that the whole being deaf part makes you partially resistant to screeches, like you are still stunned in place but you don't fall to the ground in pain while covering your ears because, well, you can't hear shit.

A that's not exactly how it works but uh... that's not really how it works.

[Dirty Old Harry]

The screech puts people on the floor if you're close to the bitch when she does it and you still get stunned but not floored if you're further away from her, being deaf should just make you totally ignore getting floored by the screech but still stunned.

[adamkad2]

you want stuns ignoring deafness, get a crushurrr

[SpaceFarer]

What if the ringing sound only lasted 3 or 4 seconds then faded away? Like an initial effect to make it very obvious you have been deafened, but then it fades into silence so you don't get annoyed by it.

If it were a brief sound +1, but if it just rings the whole deaf period then -1.

[Supermichael777]

please no i have sympathetic tinnitus, and the secondary invisible stun on the knockdown needs some more info i thought it just lagged shit

[Dirty Old Harry]

Keep in mind that this can totally be turned off, if you don't like it then turn it off or if you do like it then turn it on.

[louisloftcraft]

1+ it would make people think twice before throwing a nade and would be accurate if a grande did go off close to somone.
