Denied Customizable volume

[McMuffin]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Adds the ability to change in game volumes like guns, ambience, master volume, other peoples voice, etc.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
Checked Dev Tracker could not find anything

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Allows to have a better balance of audio
- Allows for more and future customizability

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
- Development time

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This should be accepted because, through not only my experience but also others, complaints about ambience being too loud, gunshots being too loud, or other things being too loud, this would effectively fix it. This is only an issue because if you turn down your game audio, you lose the ability to hear other things, especially if you have a loud TS. As well, ambience has always been an issue, as it is either too loud or constantly playing; this would solve it by just being able to be turned down.

I do somewhat support this, but I believe this has been denied before for balance reasons (you have an advantage if you e.g. turn off ambience but someone else doesn't, and similar issues). I can somewhat understand the balance concerns, but I think audio balance/options could be a bit better. Radio volume as it is doesn't even save between sessions, and that's basically the only option you even have.

I agree fully, if balancing is the issue they could make it so ambience volume can't go under a certain amount to keep at least fairness there.

Suggestion Denied

Hi @McMuffin ,

Thanks for taking the time to make a server suggestion.
The Content Team has chosen to deny your suggestion due to the following reasons.

Reason for Denial:
We as content believe that this would be quite hard to implement for such a small QoL change, we do believe however that some sounds should have their volume tuned down. Furthermore, this could be abused for a combative advantage as you could turn all volume down and then have combative noises turned all the way up.

Your suggestion will now be locked and marked as denied.​
