OMG you are SO right, I remember skyping constantly playing Mario Bros. on Nintendo..

Oh wait, I mean during GoldenEye on N64..

Oops, guess I meant Resident Evil on PS1..

No? So wait, all those years gaming I wasn't a gamer because I had no Vent?


Fascinating.. you are SO smart..

do you seriously still use in game voice chat on any game these days?

use a 3rd party program like TS, skype, VT, or even a app on youre phone like viber or mobile skype.

All of these have better quality then in game voice chat on pretty much all games.

I don't have a PC I have an iPad, there is no vent on apple store only team speak 3 I think. I asked they told me vent is vent and won't work with team speak 3, so yeah not all of us are rich to just go buy a laptop for vent or whatever. I'm still say it it's a joke the game doesn't have voice chat. Defend the game for the good things it has not for the ones it doesn't.

This was a deliberate decision by Yoshi-P, mainly because he was afraid people would pressure others into making it mandatory.

Well, voice chat was mandatory in my WoW guild for all raids, and this was before it was implemented into the game. We were required to use Ventrilo or we didn't get an invite.

Just think about it a bit.

A topic recently mentioned how they've noticed a lack of tanks. Many commented suggesting its due to the abundance of insults (which is true for any class, just more noticeable for healer/tanks).

I'm sure you don't want to know what would happen with in-game chat. Even if they added a mute feature.

I am sorry but this is just the silly. We cannot have stuff because people might be mean.

-No more gear progression either because people do ask for relic gear on story mode quests and places like Wander's Palace.
-No more chatting period as people are rude we will use predefined chat as used in toon town.
-No more customizing your character at all someone may choose to put INT in on a PLD.
-No housing free company or otherwise someone might be upset that your house is bigger.
-No voice chat people might say mean stuff.

See how that fits up in that list of silly stuff?

People are going to be mean with or without voice chat. That's not a good reason to deny players the use of a very powerful tool.

its bs voice has not been added. for someone to have to set up voice on another system is dumb. what if all pc players had to set up voice on our ps3's just to talk to people? we played our games on pc but had to grab our ps3 controllers to talk to everyone? why not just buy it for the ps3 if that was the case. people buy the game for ps3 to play on the ps3. why the hell should we have to set up other shit just to talk to people in a game thats meant for people to talk to eachother? it is an mmo...

Though I don't necessarily agree with the way that you put it, I do agree with the logic. I my self remade a topic about this unaware it'd been properly done, having done a quick search. Sorry about that.. . Either way there's a petition on the Forum that I fully intend to advertise. Maybe if the vote count gets high enough they'll consider it seriously.

The solution to that would, in my opinion, would be quite simple. Put a little PS or a PC logo next to the players name in Fate. So you could tell when you would or wouldn't be able to communicate with a player. No voice chat is no option if you ask me, it just doesn't feel natural. Even with a USB keyboard plugged in.
