    Didn’t they fix it?
    Maybe your audio isn’t up enough. I wear headset and I hear…every. Thing.

    @burnbacon yeah i got headset with sfx at 100 so i hear everything crystal clear but today during several HG matches I've been boarded and heard nothing, just a blunder to my back

    Im pretty sure its already been fixed weeks ago. Perhaps something else is happening, unless people have found an alternative way to silent board.

    Im talking about silent boarding as well, harpoon boarding was fixed only days ago, silent boarding was fixed weeks ago, and any time i have tried to silent board it seems im still heard, so it does check out. So unless some one found another method to do so, it should be gone.

    I believe someone has found another method or it doesn't always trigger.

    @goldsmen ah interesting. i've asked on the discord too and others said they've still seen it so maybe a new method is out. maybe there's an audio setting specifically for boarding that im missing? cuz like i said my sfx is on 100

    why should it be fixed?
    it is something u learn while playing and even considered a skill gap

    @lm-helm I'd hardly call it a skill gap. The original method of silent boarding was not hard to pull off, literally click 1 button. The splash is present for balance purposes. Audio ques are a large part of the combat in SoT. If you're boarding before causing chaos on a ship then the splash gives you away so you can't just get easy boards on players. The intended way is to first damage a ship through naval, then board when crews are distracted.

    Silent boarding is real and it still happens, if you know how to pull it off. Any player that has been in an hourglass fight lately can tell you that.

    The boarding sound is not consistent ever since the fix, previously you had to actively do something as a boarder to not trigger the sound but now it can be silent even when doing all the actual things that make sound

    @callmebackdraft It's not only the boarding that is affected. I also have that you won't hear the loud horn when a FoF spawns... Seems to be part of a bigger issue?

    Or skill/patience to wait for a cannonball hit, gunshot, anything loud enough to mask the sound, too.

    @loadsock On my LG TV + Xbox X I need to use Dolby Stereo otherwise I don't hear all the sounds.
