What happened?  
Gnomes no longer laugh when starting battles in the Vault battle mode.  
They used to laugh, so I assume that this is not an intended mechanic.

How to replicate this issue:

- Play the Vault. (Gnomes should laugh, but they don’t. - checked in the 4.4.0.09 Update)

Situation is still the same after the 4.4 Update - version 4.4.0.09.

Gnomes are no longer laughing at the start of a battle.
