When your whole squad is down but you're still alive, all characters keep talking to themselves.Which usually happens on the end of the games, when timers warning densifies.If anyone from Respawn is reading this: this is SUPER annoying when concentrating.Listening to footsteps and positions, ambient noises, crates, and focusing on audio when you're alone is especially cringy, when your character keeps making super loud voices.I currently have dialogue set to 1% (yes, one percent) and it still makes so much noise that it covers half the rest of the game audio.Of course, this would remove some authenticity, but really it's worth a try. This has been annoying day 1.Cheers.

Suggestion: remove self-speaking dialogues

@Doc2FX I honestly hate the dialog and completely rely on the pings. They are quite annoying and useless as we already know what they are informing us of. Just a useless feature imo.

I tried to do that, but the audio information is actually interesting. Most pings are statistically "moving there" and "enemy there" (the default / spam ones).

If you remove dialogues, you basically lose part of the carried info. I like the silence of no dialogue, but went back to 1% after this.

I don't like all dialogues, despite Respawn's efforts to add more and more of them (we need even more to make them less boring, BTW), but you have to admit they add immersion, especially to casual players.
The most boring thing to me (maybe you get this, too) is when you have a main character that you play most or all the time (which happens to be my case, BTW). Then you simply get super annoyed.

That won't be removed, as you can guess, there's no chance this happens. Therefore my proposal, here, to simply remove the dialogues (most lines are the same as when you still get live teammates, anyway).
But I do understand your point.

@Doc2FXThe audio logs were added mainly for the no fill option players, I don’t find them too annoying and I can’t hear footsteps regardless if they are talking or not... before season 7 I never had footstep sound issues but ever since the patches they did they completely ruined the audio for me so I never know if an enemy is behind me or if its just my teammates because my teammates have louder footsteps than the enemy

@TheApexLegendNub So you really think this is a solution to the topic?

@Doc2FX Who said anything about a solution? It is feedback

@TheApexLegendNub If you look at the subtle hierarchy in those forums, there are categories, breakdowns and topics.

I suppose there's a reason for that.

@Doc2FX Theres not really a solution other than to get over it, they could add a volume setting to lower voices but then that would likely lower settings for your teammates pings and other voice logs that are more important like ‘’hey compadres someone is reviving over here’’

I don’t see them completely removing the voice logs after they just added them and who knows how much it costed them to record the voicelines in the first place

This world is full of expensive things that proved counter-productive in the end ^^

@Doc2FX Alittle off topic but I saw where Raynday Gaming said certain legendary skins costed $50,000 to make ._. I kinda understand the $18 price tag to a point
