Whats with this ridiculous sound effect when you enter explore and go through your battles? Another crap feature that wasnt asked for or needed. Please remove it

I’m actually more concerned with the sound effect that plays by default upon clicking a Kingdom and viewing its Map at all – which is technically the SFX played for the “Explore” tab on the map, but this **is the default tab** when opening any kingdom map so the SFX plays every time (except for the currently weekly kingdom due to Underspire).

We may or may not be thinking about the same thing?

Agreed. The fanfare sound just for opening the Kingdom map is obnoxious and distracting.

Completely agree, that new sound effect is super annoying and totally unnecessary
