Configurable channel alert sounds

[Oklahoman]

Some channels - like broadcast and request - make no alert sounds for the user, so unless you are just looking at the channel you could miss something.

 

I'd like the ability to select an alert sound (or, none at all) for each individual channel. Nothing crazy - default is what we have now, but if I do want to attach an audio alert to the broadcast channel (or LFG, or general, or help, or whatever) I can choose to do that.

You wanna drive yourself nuts with all the alerts? Be my guest. You're pitching it as an opt-in choice, so you have my support. (I'll keep the guys in the white coats on standby for you. 😜)

Yep, long as it's opt in, go nuts. 🙂 (Windows sounds are among the first things I shut off on a new/fresh install, even. Though I could see even me adding something to Request specifically to grab attention during hami raids or itrials, which tend to use that channel.)

 

Only question I'd have is if it's limited to in game sounds or there'd be an option for your own. (Pointing at .wavs or .ogg or .mp3 or whatever you may have.)

I... would also hate this, but if you want it as an option I guess have fun with City of BeepBoops.

When I thought this up while shaving this morning, I only considered in-game sounds. But, I guess if someone wanted their favorite klaxon.mp3 to play every time a tell comes in, that's fine by me. So long as it doesn't impose that klaxon on my end, where I have it set to Careless Whisper.
