    Its not assumption that people dodge because of steve, its a fact i know and has been confirmed in this very thread by someone stating they dodged as killer and survivor when there was a steve in the lobby because of the scream therefore its not made up or an assumption, just because you assume a lot doesnt mean i do lol. Also, i didnt mention anything to do with scene partner. Its getting exhausting correcting you

    First, you said it before anyone else did. You are also well documented giving all sorts of very confident reasons why other people do things, like how you seem to always know exactly why everyone in your matches DCs. We did have a thread recently about dodging here:

    Only two mentionings of dodging for potential Steve screams. And one of those said it had to be a whole team, which is pretty rare nowadays. Just about everyrhing from flashlights to toolboxes to globes to TTVers got more mentions.

    Also, i didnt mention anything to do with scene partner.

    The entire Stevgull act is SP lol

    Its getting exhausting correcting you

    Then don't.

    Exactly, a thread on here that shows people have dodged due to steves, clear evidence that you willingly neglect because people said they dodge over other things more? Clearly shows how you cherry pick and intentionally ignore evidence when its right Infront of you.

    Not only that but a few months ago i was in a lobby with a steve and someone else said "if i hear steve scream once i will DC"….he screamed and sure enough someone DC'd Further evidence of people not playing the game due to steve.

    There has been countless threads on these forums over the years where people have flat out said they dodge due to steve.

    Your ignorance does not automatically mean people are assuming anything, they have valid reasons and in many cases hard evidence to back up their claims….but according to you "your making it up and throwing out wild assumptions" purly because of your own ignorance on the matter because you cant see the evidence the other person has (or you can you just choose to ignore it). You take the attitude of "if i dont see it, it dont exist" which ignorance might be bliss but it doesnt help your arguments when others have evidence and countless hours of experience that you choose to ignore.

    I didnt specify stevgul, i only mentioned people lobby dodging based on his scream which there are a lot of perks that can cause screams. Some people just dont like the sound so they dodge, nothing to do with SP in particular, its anything that makes him scream.

    After the recent update, Steve’s yell sound has been changed. Many players feel that the new scream sounds weird, less intense, and doesn’t fit the character anymore. It’s been a frequent topic in the community, and many players have expressed dislike for the change.

    Before: The yell felt strong and matched Steve’s personality.

    After: The new sound feels strange, unnatural, and disappointing.

    Please consider reviewing this change or restoring the previous scream. Thank you!

    Clearly shows how you cherry pick and intentionally ignore evidence when its right Infront of you.

    There are 27 unique responses in that thread. Two (really it's more like one and a half) make it a 7% rate. Not exactly a hugely popular opinion using the only actual data that is in front of us and not purely anecdotal, unlike this:

    Not only that but a few months ago i was in a lobby with a steve and someone else said "if i hear steve scream once i will DC"….he screamed and sure enough someone DC'd Further evidence of people not playing the game due to steve.

    "Someone said it to me once a long time ago trust" is not "hard evidence". Start taking screenshots of all these surveys you're sending out on why players do things. I'm sure BHVR would love to see your data.

    And if this is the argument, that people don't play due to Steve, how important is that versus the zillion other reasons (again, source: trust me bro) that you give for people DCing any chance you get? You've said people will DC over just about any little inconvenience.

    You take the attitude of "if i dont see it, it dont exist"

    I mean, yeah, if you can't show me evidence it does, in fact, not exist.

    There has been countless threads on these forums over the years where people have flat out said they dodge due to steve.

    Yet your account isn't even a year old.

    I had a killer match last week where I readied up and didn't pay attention to the lobby and had 4 Stevegulls in the match. I managed to kill a couple of them but the constant screaming gave me a banging headache.

    Not going to lie, I've not gone into a game as killer with a Steve since because I obviously don't want another headache! So glad it's gone.

    The joke got old in 2023 but I'm sure it'll just move onto the next survivor with a loud, annoying scream unfortunately.

    Stevegull was both funny and annoying for some people.

    I do not know if the changes of those voices are due to an beef with OG Actors / Voiceactors or if it's something else tho

    Steve/Nancy voicelines were ok fitting the characters very well, unless this was requested by Netflix to change their voices which i really doubt about it.

    If this change was made exclusive by BHVR this shows their true hypocrisy. In a game with so many bugs, weak killers deserving a complete rework/swamp map rework that was promised since 2022/Twins FAILED rework/ they really decided that the best thing to do is to change a damn voiceline? I don't even play with Steve and i'm worried about this dumb decision.

    Steve's scream was a viral sensation on tik tok/instagram videos, people that never played the game watched those videos and maybe came to play game for the first time. I agree that ''scream spam'' can be annoying, so why you keep adding perks to allow that to happen?

    What about reducing this massive grind for new players? No, let's change a character voiceline because it's more important.

    Nobody asked for this change.

    The change came mainly because of their obsession with voicelines. They added voicelines to those characters, but since the original voice actors who did the screams and grunts of pain back in the day were not around anymore, new ones were used/hired. And this also resulted in new screams and grunts of pain.

    This will happen more often in the future since they will probably also give the original Survivors voicelines at some point.

    And well: "Nobody asked for this change"… Technically many people wanted voicelines. Obviously they would have wanted some of the original voice actors, but this did not happen.

    We don't really know if this the case because they added voice lines to the old resident evil survivors when they did project w but didn't replace sounds.

    edit : nevermind i didnt consider the possibility the brought back the same people

    I believe in this case it was probably request of the licensors to do new voices

    One of the first legendary characters in the game to receive different voices and sounds, an interesting character appreciated by a few people, had his voice changed unnecessarily. Jonathan's old sounds were MUCH better than the current ones. Please BHVR, LISTEN TO THE OPINIONS of those who play with the characters you change. I don't see a single Jonathan fan who preferred his current state. Jonathan deserves respect.

    +1, Bring old voice lines back, it was cool, new ones are just pale and hollow

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 17,967

    Yeah, in RE they probably got the same people, because the timespan between their initial release and the new voicelines was way shorter. Here we are looking at around 5 1/2 years of time difference for Stranger Things.

    But yeah, it could also be the request of the license holders. And I can also put my tinfoil hat on and claim that the license holders saw Steves with Scene Partner and demanded a voice change because of that.

    Yeah, this just shows me that they did not listen to the feedback when it came to Nancy's face.

    Nancy looks as if she's been buzzed by honey bees multiple times and has became inflamed and puffy as a result.

    I'm not too impressed with the rift and the multiple reskins of Jeff's face with sunglasses, just looks like Pornstache from Orange Is The New Black for me.

    I haven't played the update, but I know once I do I will more than likely swap out Nancy's skin for the Robin skin due to them, as always - not listening to the community feedback regarding her model. (I honestly think this was done purposefully to signal more sales for Robin due to them not correcting Nancy's face model!)

    The sounds of the characters are abysmal, as we've seen with Steve and him being hooked - just a travesty. I'm glad I have had other games to play in the downtime for the update coming up (Crusader Kings 3) but I'm genuinely tired of Behavior not listening to the community time and time again.

    Each update it's the same, each map that's made is a repeat copy-paste as we've seen with the prison map, along with the FNAF update and the pizzeria. (the picnic tables, the small little machines around the map, etc) - I am aware that Behavior is trying to become a publisher, but being lazy and ignoring feedback is not it.

    1000005966.jpg

    We did not need three variations of this same face for the rift, it's one thing to have one and that's cool. However, to not give Jeff more love is again tragic. They could have given him more faces - something, but nope it's just George Mendez.

    1000005969.jpg

    I get tired of how simplistic the rift gets, even further down into the rift. They could have done more for Jeff, Claudette, and the other characters. Don't even get me started on the face for Gabriel.

    R.I.P. Stevegull.

    Oh Well, at least we still have Lisa Garland, who's screams are WAYYYYY more annoying than Steve's ever were.

    Lisa-gull is just not popular with players atm (Mainly BC she's a legendary skin and all), but now with Steve out of the way, it's time for Lisa to come out and play!

    Yet another example of how your arguments are flawed and show you have no idea what your talking about… You are aware you dont need an account to read the forums right? So how long i have had this particular account is irrelevant. When you come out with things like this that makes no sense what so ever it sort of discredits your whole argument basis. You can enjoy your ignorance is bliss…but like i said, your ignorance doesnt help your arguments.

    Im trying to focus on sounds and making sure I hear the killer coming up half the time. I cant when all I hear is 3 Steve's screaming. Maybe if you guys didnt over do it, no one would have complained enough for them to change it. It was funny for the first 2 weeks. Then it got worse and worse. People dont unhook, or heal half the time. We try to focus on surroundings and it sucks when youre mid heal and Steve wont stop screaming and messing up your heal. Youre still injured, killer comes back and tunnels you. That's how annoying this is.

    I'm not saying Steagull needed to change or stay the same, i dont really personally care about it, but the new grunts of pain for both nancy and steve are terrible. It doesn't feel genuine. Either re-do it or revert.
    I also think Nancy's face looks more like Jodie from two souls or last of us Ellie. It is way too round to be Natalia's face. All in all I find these ''updates'' downgrades. Very dissapointed.
