I upgraded my Bone-Biter Dane axe to "mythical" level to see what kind of final appearance it would have, and then I noticed that almost every time I strike an enemy with it, there's this magical-sounding "shwing" sound instead of a more realistic-sounding, bone-crushing sound. I can't stand this new sound for mythical weapons. Would it be possible, through an update, to deactivate this sound--or, at least, to be able to have weapons appear as their lower-tier forms (such as "flawless")?

While we're at it, a full-blown transbog feature for all weapons and armor would be really useful. I'd like to have certain armor pieces appear as lower-tier versions as well if I don't like higher-tier appearances.

I hope someone from the dev team hears this.

I also encounter this problem, I made a video where we realize the problem especially during the fight against the 1st bear .

@Ubi-Baron still no news ?

@ubi-baron i don't know if this is intended, but it really doesn't sounds right. For me it's a sound of dropping a sack full of coins, i stopped using my longsword after upgrading it to mythic level and that makes me really sad. I can share some videos if needed.

I figured it was an intended choice, but I'm hoping we could simply get a setting allowing us to toggle off "mythical weapon sounds" or something. I'd love to have the upgraded damage output of a fully maxed-out axe but without the unrealistic sound effects whenever I strike an enemy.

Oh god please don’t tell me it’s intended, it’s the worst weapon sound I’ve ever heard, it’s like dropping a bag of change on the floor not a weapon strike

I got Excalibur not long a go, it better shwwwing ever time I blind a group.

@c-pick I am still at the stage of deciding what armor and weapons to max, (as I understand that resources are scarce and we are unable to max everything).
Out of interest what are the max stats for the Bone Biter Dane Axe?
I have just looted the Aella's Bardiche Dane Axe and have so far upgraded it to flawless.
Would the Sepulcher Axe be an even better option? I am currently unable to obtain this axe as my sons of ragnar quest line is bugged at the talk to ubba stage.
Have fun and may RNG be forever in your favor.

@deadmennwalking Great questions! Don't have the numbers off the top of my head--and I actually ended up totally starting the whole game over again so that I deliberately don't upgrade my Bone-Biter axe to "mythical" just to avoid that irritating "shwing" sound. The downside is, I don't get the added damage output of the mythical level. Ugh.

I actually don't like the Sepulcher axe at all, and this is because I'm the kind of gamer who prefers more grounded, more realistic, more down-to-earth gameplay experiences, and that particular axe literally lights on fire and stuff. I don't like things like that--they just don't do it for me. I'd prefer to have "real" weapons, without magical flames or green clouds of gas floating around them, when I fight. It's a shame when I come across a weapon I might like, but there's some idiotic "magical" thing about it that I can't turn off. (Luckily, I can turn off obnoxious damage numbers, tacky life bars, glowing red overlays on enemies, and similar things in the HUD settings.)

Good luck to ya!

That sound was extremely irritating.

@c-pick Thank you for taking the time to reply.

@ubi-baron I ask that they really Think about possibly adding in a Toggle for the Mythical Sound. I get headaches easily and the sound has caused some major issues for me, and caused me to stop using one of my Favorite Dane Axes, and its really disappointing to completely redo my entire set up because of a incessant sound during combat.

Its bad enough i had to go through Reddit and separate sites in hope to find a way to at least disable it through messing with files.

@ubi-baron

since you are giving feedback, would have been nice if all wpeaons and gear actually changed their looks as the blacksmith promised at the start of the game. yet many stay the same through all stages of upgrading, whish is rather dissapointing.
