Sedna Silence Mutes Speakers

Sorry but I have to lol at this it's just to ironic.

oh god I lol'd

Everyone I tell tends to laugh at the irony, but it really is annoying!  

Irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite.

As the word silence generally denotes a blockage of sound, it is quite the opposite of ironic.

Actually it is irony, well it is situational irony. Silence while it is by a definition is "the absence of sound"; in game that is not the desired affect. In game definition "Silence: Enemies near Sedna are barred from using magical spells for a short duration"

Situational Irony: when an incongruity exists between what is expected to happen and what actually happens.

What is expected to happen is that demigods can't use spells or abilities, but what does happen is he loses sound all together. So it is situational irony, but people don't bother to be specific with the type of irony and just say... oh the irony.

Grammer pwn.

Try setting your in-game sound to medium fidelty settings. I know, it sounds crazy, just give it a shot.

GrammAr pwn.

Spelling pwn, also it was a rhetorical analysis pwn, and he is using the modern sense of the word irony. I only believe in classical irony. 

When ya use a word like pwn, spelling stops to matter, lol.

Classical Irony: acts as an instance which assures the coextensiveness of being and of the indivual with in the world representation.

By that definition, at least 80% of ironic situations would not be irony.

. . . you only believe in a certain specific type of irony. You go through the effort of correcting people who don't match your sense of irony. When people suggest alternative ironies, you say you don't believe them.

I never thought that rhetoric could become what is essentially religion ot someone. I mean, man you got the whole thing.

"Oh, I don't believe in your God"

I proclaim synn as the First Holy Emperor of Grammatics

I'll start forwarding all questions.

Dear imaginary figure no! My grammar is horrible!

I actually suspect this to be an intentional effect that got cut out later on but due to some slacky code is still in some fitelity setting. I had the same thing a couple of times too.

Sorry I didn't check back and respond sooner.  I've tried every setting in the game and it still does it.  I even tried reinstalling and it didn't fix it this time.  I've just learned to deal with it for now.  

I appreciate the suggestions, though.

Modern definition of irony - Irony is a situation, literary technique, or rhetorical device, in which there is an incongruity, discordance, or unintended connection with truth, that goes strikingly beyond the most simple and evident meaning of words or actions.

Classical (real) irony - the OPPOSITE of what is expected happens, not just something different

Sedna uses silence, it would be ironic if everything got louder

Nowadays, silence doing anything other than what you would expect is considered ironic, which is just plain stupid. It's a dumbing down of wordplay, and Benjamin Franklin would frown upon your shenanigans. 

Modern means 1400s onward in this case. Stop acting like you know stuff you do not. You're being ironic.

I'm no English professor, but to chime in on the irony discussion, I think the irony could be more with the programming and not with the result we're seeing.  I can't say for sure since the game mutes my speakers, but I'm assuming that even the Silence spell is supposed to produce a sound effect.  However, it is preventing sound from being made.

Thus, the opposite of what is intended to happen is happening, so there is the contradiction.  Irony is often defined as contrary and coincidental at the same time.  If any other spell was causing this effect, it wouldn't be coincidental.

What was modern irony in the ancient time then?

Yes, lets discuss Irony here. This is absolutly enthralling...

On topic: Did the patch help?

I had this bug pretty much from the beginning, but it went away when I got the other sound bug (1.2, when sounds were just random and didn't match anything). That bug went away when I installed the most recent update, and I haven't had the silence problem since then.

I've been silenced alot and has silenced once, but I still have my sound; but what about the massive....naa I'm not ganna do the joke.

actually the real question is what would classic irony be in the ancient times?
