Mute all sound but whisper

[Dopey]

Given how there have been some new settings to tweak with the sound and graphics it's prompted me to make a post about something I've been wanting put into the game for a while.

Adjusting the over all volume of the game or sound effects is a nice feature but it doesn't really help me because the only sound i want to hear from the game is if someone whispers me while i'm tab'd out of it. Otherwise its just annoying background noise.

So my suggestion is for there to be a 'mute all - except whisper' button.

I would like to second that. After having played for a while, getting your head into the day-to-day micromanagement and routines of the game, you tend to stop putting emphasis on the finer aesthetics of the game, and you (or at least I) put primary focus on what is functionally nice and needed within the game, to make it easier and more effective to spend you time on the game.
This is one of those suggestions, and it would be very welcomed, if BB could develop it.

+1 really good idea

[Rieux1972]

+1 this would be great for me as I mainly play at work (on a reception desk) so cannot have the sound on, but the whisper ping would be okay (just).

+1, maybe even 2, great call

[Gammelbold]

+1 it's a good idea. My sound is never on, nor is the music, having 1 sound activated for whipser, that would help a lot.

+1 I have music off but like to hear the sound of the gens when they leave for attack as it helps with sending blocks.

+1 I´ve been waiting for this moment since forever. I´ve had to mute sound completely due to skype calls, and if you have the sound in a conversation, waow, interesting to say the least.

I was not even aware that the whisper had a sound in this game. I miss it fromm my other browser game. Never heard the whisper sound in this game as I shhut of the game sounds completely. Would love to be able to hear someone whisper.

+1 to options. Personally I like having the sounds on (but no music) because I can be busy around the house but hear a mine collapse or be discovered. But when I'm in front of the screen it would be nice to only have whisper working. As I almost always say, options are good.

[Colyx]

All sounds off, except for whipser sounds great to me! Good idea!

[Urd123]

Was thinking again how nice it would be if I could hear when someone whispers. I searched and could see that I am not the only one. The sound effects was on for 1- 2 hours max when I started playing the game a little more than 2 years ago - then they was just annoying white noise.

[ToniSoprano]

I find sound effects annoying and I am playing TSO with sound effects turned off. Because of this, quite often I miss whispers from other friends or do not respond in time. My suggestion is to create option to enable sound effects only for whisper.

Thanks.

Merged.

well maybe it does exist - but it is still something that would be very very nice.
