Discussion rather than a demand
By "new" roundend sounds I mean all the ones that are not "banging donk" or "apc destroyed"
We've had these for 2 years and a half so that's plenty of time to get used to them, and still I find that the reception to them is not very positive
https://www.strawpoll.me/16659929/r

so maybe we can have a formal discussion or a server poll on them
Additionally the bulk of them were merged in less than 16 hours #9964 which I'm still salty about
I agree 100%, it's something that's been unique to ss13 that is now washed out by videogame references
They're alright for diversity, but the classic roundend sounds are definitely more memorable & fun.
The new ones fucking annihilate my ears
These poll options kinda suck. I prefer the old ones but I still enjoy the new ones too.
That proxypoll is why this is a discussion and not a pr.
unironically linking a strawpoll
I like both.
Do banging donk and apc destroyed not play anymore?
I knew something felt off at round end.
They do, just rarely
What if we kept both, but buffed the chances of the originals to play compared to the others?
Like a 75% chance for bangin' donk/APC destroyed and a 25% chance for any of the others?
We could do that, but why?
For people who prefer the originals, but would still enjoy hearing the new ones occasionally.
Personally I'd get rid of calamitytrigger.ogg, duckgame.ogg, rayman.ogg, and tfvictory.ogg
Those are the annoying ones. The other new ones are fine.
Also just in case people are getting ideas, character preferences about these are probably not possible since the only way to make a sound keep playing after server shutdown is to send it to the entire server at once.
Diversity makes them all the more enjoyable when they show up, could probably trim them a bit but having nothing but one or two is going to get old fast.
I really haven't seen anyone before this issue saying they dislike them to such a degree they'd only want the old ones.
Also fuck strawpoll with a sample size of fuck all. Not to mention the question is loaded, there is no option to say you don't mind either way or like both.
If I was forced to pick I'd also say I like the old ones more but I don't mind the new ones either but I can't answer that in the poll.
I support the idea of having both with the classics buffed so that we get more variety in our round end sounds and also memery
