I unlocked a Drell Adept the other day and had a lot of fun with it. However, I'm afraid there's one major downside that has actually crossed any Reave-possessing character off my playing list until it's addressed.

The sound effect. It's just unpleasant. It would be fine for a few seconds, but it's so persistent that I'm hearing it for the majority of the match. It was unpleasant to begin with, and after a few matches it grated on me more and more. Worse yet, when someone asked on the mic "anyone know what that sound is?" I realized I was inflicting it on my team mates too. So, no Drell Adept for me.

I'm not certain why it lasts so long. It continues even after the affected enemies have been killed. I see two possibilities: First, the effect lasts beyond enemy's death, and the sound stays on to make it clear that the Damage Protection etc. is still in effect. If this is the case, please switch around the graphical effect (which lasts only a little while) and the sound effect: Keep my Drell lit up for the duration of the effect, and have the sound effect on a preset duration.
Second possibility is that this is a bug, in which case, please try and fix it for a patch.

Also: Is this not the case for everyone? If this isn't normal, I'll go look at my evolution path for Reave and post it.

I agree. I hate it when anyone uses that power as I hear it for the rest of the game even after it is done with. I know it is not the persons fault so I don't yell at them but after 3 20 min games of hearing it...well I did fire a few shots at the back of them.

[Cyonan]

That's what that damn noise was?

I thought my sound just bugged out and I was hearing a constant loop of my teammate's abilities. It should definitely get changed, it's really annoying to hear all game.

[Kronner]

The sound it makes is ****ing crazy. I'd rather it made no sound than this.

[Doom Lich]

I've never noticed it. (And I did have a drell adept on my team at one point)
Is it really that bad?

[xavim]

Yes. Yes it is. For a few seconds it is fine but it never leaves the game even after the power is long gone. It covers up gun fire and voices.

[Totally_Mad_Rat]

Agree, very annoying sound. Infiltrator (any) and Drell adept are my favorite classes. But I have to tone down the sound and take off my headset anytime I play as Drell adept.

[Bhatair]

Yeah, I really love the class but I can only bear to play one or two matches at a time with him. It's especially crazy if you have area reave and fire it into a cluster of enemies, it's just so loud.
Bioware, please look into this. It pretty much makes playing a Drell adept an exercise in frustration.

It happened once when I was playing a Vanguard and I chalked it up as a bug. Then I unlocked Drell Adept and I understood. Any people out there in PC land know how to get at and delete sounds from the game?

I took area Reave early on. If each affected enemy is its own sound source adding further volume to the mix, that would explain why it seems so bad to me - though it sounds like non-area Reave is bad too.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. This is a known bug that is currently being looked into. I'll let you know when we have more info.

[Rogue Eagle]

heh, and here I thought the sound was just infinite looping on my pc and I was alone

Good to know. Thanks for the info.

There were some last minute changes to the code for this power, it's an unfortunate bug that we're not happy with... but we already have a fix which will go out in a future patch.

It's one of the few audio bugs that made it into the game, sorry, hope it doesn't get in the way of your enjoyment of the multiplayer.

[Nexolek]

Thanks Rob, can't wait for the patch!

Good to see it's being worked on, glad to know I won't have to shelve my Drell adept because it is a ton of fun to play.

[BraveLToaster]

It makes me feel bad when I play Drell Adept. The sound is mildly annoying, but I don't mind it so much. At least I get to choose though, they're subjected to my incessant Reave-hum like it or not.

[Arximiro]

Yes, please please please get this fixed soon. It's insanely annoying. My friend plays a Drell adept and it's so bad I can only play a couple matches with him. It sounds like a digital lawnmower that never stops!

It's nice to see they are fixing this, I just hope it's soon.

I'm glad you guys are working on a fix. I think I'll put my Drell Adept on hold until the patch comes out.

[Jayaa]

I've been having lots of run with my Drell Adept, but I agree with the noise. There seems to be a bug to others players as well. My friend complained that he heard the sound the SECOND we dropped into a game and it would not go away, no matter how far away he was. At first he felt it was a problem on his end, but he could drop into any other game and not hear it. Eventually I had to give up playing my Drell Adept with my friend because it annoyed him so much.

Likewise, I was playing a Silver match, came out on top. After returning to lobby there were 2 X's after my name, and before the third, someone chipped in, "You're a good player, but it's sooooooo F*cking annoying..."

[Drakhoran]

It's not entirely consisten though. I played one match, I think it was vs. Geth on Firebase:Ghost, where the sound only lasted a short while after each Reave. It also wasn't as loud as it usually is.

[titoarc]

i've seen that reave deals damage but dont give the damage resistence when used against geths , not sure if a bug or not

[Legion.N7]

This bug is horrible. I thought my audio options are messed up. I am happy it will be fixed in a future patch. But there is another looping sound bug - the footsteps. Sometime they stay after the match if you finish the match running.

[SilentCO1]

I use him all the time and haven't noticed it.
