The infinitely looping pet sounds are one of the most annoying "features" in this game and force me to mute all game sounds while im stood next to someone with their pet active. If we could have a separate pet volume controller that would be really really appreciated.

So I can't spawn my starving sad Asclarias in the sweat circle and proceed to run away from it just to annoy unmuted players?

ear plus (L) only 19.95 ped from the TT and you need to buy a new set every ten minutes.

As i don't want to see this thread dying like the old


I can understand the client interface designer loves cats, and listens to their meow meow 24 hours a day, but that's not everyone's cup of tea. So please implement a Pet volume bar ! Just to put it at 0 (y) I am tired of muting the whole game.

I am not a fan of the pet noises but for the most part I can live with them . There are exceptions, the axe pet and the gorilla make sounds that are far too loud compared to other sounds in the game. How can any pet be louder than a gun. I complained a few years ago that my laser guns were very quiet (it was one reason I swapped to BLP). Forget about balancing the economy, get a sound engineer in for a day and get in to balance the sound, louder guns and quieter pets please.

Hell let me loose on the sound mixing and I will do it myself !!!!!

My apologies, I have to bump this.

Yesterday I had to stop a hunt because someone came along with a pet and that was just annoying. And before I destroyed any of my RL-equipment I left. Cats, dogs, Tezlapods, ... I don't know what's the worst. By now this just triggers me every time I hear it.

Sorry :(

I’m surprised you even play with sound on, it’s all pretty annoying to me not just the pets haha.

I wish there was proper music too; I hope the new engine fixes this

Thread is soon a year old. Has anyone from MA seen this ? Do we need to spam the Support with individual tickets? I thought the whole reason for a Suggestions/Wishlist part of the forum was to have some dialogue with the developers?

Well, hunting without the sound of weapons and mobs is kind of lame. I know that I'm not a PED-cycling badass, but when I play I do it for the fun of it. But yes, when I'm moving around in a mobile centre or whatever, I surely can/do take my headphones off.

We've seen your suggestion and feedback and I will forward it to our development team :)
Yes! Please! I'd be thankful if that won't be delayed until UE5.

i been on mute for like 10 years cause of the stupid pet noises

all spawned pets when a player is not actively doing something that requires the pet to be spawned should become killable in 5 mins - that will fix it

most of the "new" pets are silly and do not even fit with the game imo - kittys, bunnys really lol

Their history kind of explains this; the "new" pets were intended for ComPet crossover content. But yeah, they should probably have their battlecries changed at this point, as they don't sound Entropian at all. Snablesnot battlecry sounds like Entropia. Kitty battlecry sounds like some video started autoplaying in one of my browser tabs and I need to close it.

Can we add a weapon volume bar too so I can permanently turn it off?
