Hello

I am having a lot of fun with Age of Wonder Planetfall at the moment, beat a few games on "normal" difficulty, and 1 game on hard difficulty. I love the mechanics, and most of the unit designs are fantastic. however, i think the sound effects of this game is severely lacking, i'm not talking about sound tracks mind you, i'm talking about the weapon effects. the laser weapons and the sniper rifles in this game have by far the worst sound effects. the sniper rifle for example, sounds worse than the BB guns i used to play with when i was a kid. it just bugs me when i see a game that's very solid, but little things like this is left out.

i heard that the devs are working on more patches for this game in the near future, particularly there will be more playable races in the future. i imagine this game would be like Endless Legend, where the fan base kept giving devs new ideas for new races and keep the game going. it would be really nice if the devs will provide an upgrade to the sound effects of this game, when the next big patch comes along.

thanks for reading.
 
One thing which is really annoying - vanguard troopers with arc ammo shoot with both sounds from kinetic/arc weapons which is weird to say the least.
 
Yeah I don't really like how plague pods sound like a grenade either. And some abilities look pretty cheesy. Like Promethean heroes "surge forward" just looks like a teleport with flame effect. It comes off like placeholders that never got updated.
 
Yes, there are quite some animations and sounds that feel unfinished/like placeholders. For example the entire attack of hackers is basically missing.
I hope they get improved bit by bit in oncoming Patches.
