The sound design in Last Epoch seriously lacks low-end frequencies and impact. It genuinely feels like I’m playing with my subwoofer turned off.
The difference is stark when switching from the Path of Exile 2 beta back to Last Epoch. PoE2’s sound is rich and punchy, with deep bass that makes every skill feel impactful. In comparison, Last Epoch’s combat sounds flat and weightless.
Could you please consider adding more power to the low-end of the audio mix?
A simple “Bass Boost” or “Loudness” toggle in the audio settings would be a perfect solution. It would allow those of us who want to truly feel the power of our builds to do so.
I want to add to this, I love Last Epoch. But, to me the sound design is lacking in the simple form of: There are NO low frequency sounds. No Boom, Bass, Deep satisfying crushes. I never thought that would be an issue for me, but after coming back from POE 2, the sounds feels numb, high pitched and lack that OOMF. I think lowering the frequency range might help? I didn’t find any solution to this.
When they announced they’re going to change the sound design I was excited. Hoping they’d redo those squelchy *splat* *splat* sounds that feels like you’re hitting the wall with a wet noodle. Instead we got sounds not playing at all. I’d probably could only hear a difference if I’d hear it side-by-side.
