Since the Suicide Squad and Task Force X game feature has been out for a while now, I feel like enough time has gone by to request a simple little quality of life improvement to the game. Please allow us the option in our Settings menu to disable Amanda Waller's opening voice-over from playing at the start of PvE/PvP Instances. We get it. There are heroes and villains playing the same game together. What a shock. However, that doesn't mean I (or any others, for that matter) want to constantly hear her talk about it. This is especially true if someone is playing a piece of content for their first time and miss out on new cutscenes and iconic voice-overs that are happening because all that is heard instead is "This is Amanda Waller...". Now, I'm already well aware that this game has many other issues that are more important to address at the moment, but if something like this could be considered by the Dev team, I'd think that would be great. Even if you're not too worried about people's immersion potentially being broken, it is definitely more than annoying having to hear it over and over again with no way of currently being able to turn it off. A quick fix for something like this could go a long way for some people. Thanks.
Then you end up muting everything else that's going along with it, which isn't really ideal for some people. Now if there was a way of selectively muting just her opening voice-over, and not everything else, that would be ideal. Almost like what is being asked for in the OP.
Nope. She only speaks at the 1st before an instance even starts, so muting the game for the less than 1 minute She speaks isn't going to create a problem. Sure some don't use headphones (or even mics for that matter) and if muting for less than a minute is going to have that huge of an impact on Their game play maybe They should just put Their fingers in Their ears and go, LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA. If Those that do have headphones can't be bothered to mute the GAME sounds (which will mute Her) and still listen to chat then I would call that a personal choice problem that doesn't affect the rest of the community.
You do not understand why the OP wants to only mute Waller. Some players like to listen to the dialog that she speaks on top of. It sets the mood for the immersion in the game. Immersion is very important to an MMO. It would have been better if they had delayed other dialog until after Waller said her spiel to allow for full immersion, but an option to mute her is the next best alternative.
I love the fact that they had to install those little red collars so the hero who finds himself in a raid or alert wherein he is in the minority faction realizes Amanda is talking to HIM. (And vice versa of course when the sole villain in an alert realizes he/she is surrounded by heros.) Unfortunately, EVERYONE has to listen to Amanda...over and over and over and over.
