I know people buy them with real cash, however it is for their benefit only which I understand completely, however since it is for the buyer's own benefit it is only logical, fair, and within reason to allow players who don't want to hear it to mute it.

after all they allow us to mute voip because they don't want to hear people talking or find it annoying(not saying anyone is).

so shouldn't we be allowed to have the same option as well for this?

[Juodas Varnas]

Just mute the game then, you silly goose.
What's the point of Warhorns, if the guy you just killed can't hear and be annoyed by it?

What i would like, is making the Warhorn models invisible, because a lot of them block the view and/or look dreadful.

to mute the game would mute everything, I need to be able to hear whats going on.
besides I never said it was always because I am killed by someone with the Warhorn now did I

its annoying regardless of who is killed by it.

it just needs to be able to have an option to mute it.

after all like I said it is for the benefit of the one who bought it so they should get to hear it if they please.

by the way I would be all for shrinking the horns if it means we get to mute it in the option menu.

though I have to ask, aren't you being very bias since you own a war horn?

let me ask you this, what's the point of having it if the intent is to drive other players from the game?

because according to smith it is meant to make people stop playing mwo:

Juodas has a point. The purpose of Warhorns is to irritate the other player in the hopes that they will eventually stop playing. If you have a problem with that, then they are working as intended.

[VinJade]

so you are saying the war horns are meant to force players out of and to stop playing the game?

isn't that going to hurt pgi in the long run by allowing players to drive out others by using the war horns?

if that's the case then the horns should be removed from the game not just have the option of being muted.

still for those against the idea aren't they being extremely bias and limiting their thought about the best for the entire community and not just for what seems like a selfish act on their part(Again not saying anyone is)?

It needn't be as loud for the others - after all, we are all insulated by distance, the mech AND a helmet.

John
shouldn't the cockpit alone almost completely cancel out all noise by itself while the helm further muffles it if not outright silences things like the horn itself?

Well, since the warhorns are inside the cockpit, i assume the pilot is an ******** and just lets them rip through the comms, ahhahaahahaha

[VinJade]

JV,
the war horn is a burden to not just those they kill but to their own team mates.
So muting them would be the right thing to do.
after all with your way of thinking then shouldn't voip be forced on everyone else well?

its the same thing, we have the option to mute voip if we want so we should be allowed to do the same thing to horns, after all voip is more importation to players then the horns are.

if they are unwilling to put it in the options then maybe put a mod to buy for 3M that would allow us to shut the horns up for good regardless of who is killed.

I was being sarcastic about PGI's inability to make the smart choice when given two options. My view on Warhorns is that they were intended to be a celebration of the owning pilots getting a kill. Instead they have become a mocking insult on top of injury to the pilot that was killed. Why they havent made a Nelson Laugh warhorn yet confuses me, because that is all they end up being at this point.

I understand that Warhorns are supposed to be so loud that even the dead can hear them, but at the same time, as long as the one that bought it can hear it it doesn't matter if the victim can hear it as well.

Now that we have three options for PGI to take on the subject of Warhorns:

• Do nothing, because irritating the loser more is just as important as celebrating for the winner.
  
• Allow Warhorns to be muted by any player that wants to in order to improve game quality at the cost of "realism".
  
• Allow Warhorns to be muted by players that have just been killed in game because well they are dead and shouldn't be able to hear it anyways at this point.

Given these three options, it is safe to assume that PGI will make the choice that will leave the most players feeling there is just one more reason to play some other game this weekend instead.

Wtf.... reallym the point of a war horn was to taunt and insult. They are awesome and need to remain.

Honestly i want you to hear my locust howl when you die...

[VinJade]

many apologies Smith.

it seems that the war horns are being abused and those that bought them is for that very reason, to make fun of and mock those that lost.

and thank you FireW for helping to reinforce what I and Smith have been talking about this entire time.

and if what smith says is true then you are abusing the item you bought as it was NOT intended to mock and make fun of those that lost, but instead to celebrate the winner which means no one else needs to hear it.
