Shield block sound effects broken in online play (old bug reported 2 years ago, still not fixed)

Game mode: [ Online official | Online private/dedicated ]
Type of issue: [ Bug ]
Server type : [ PvP | PvE-Conflict | PvE ]
Region: [NA]

During any kind of online play (official or private), using a shield to block enemy attacks doesn’t trigger any kind of sound effects. If I play single player the block sound is present and also has variations for type of shield used (wooden vs metal). Also parry sounds (if you swing into an enemy attack) suffer from the same bug.

I also tried it on a LAN server to rule out latency issues. Same problem; no shield block sound effect.

Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:

  1. Start any kind of online play
  2. Get any kind of shield
  3. Block enemy attacks (preferably human opponents)

Result : No shield block sound effects

Also

  1. Start a single player game
  2. Get a shield
  3. Block enemy attacks (preferably human opponents)

Result: Shield block sound effect is fine and does include variations.

Thank you for marking this report received. I hope it gets fixed because the shield block and parry sound effects really add a lot to the feel of combat.
