Homeboy was cool; until voice comms.

Voice chat horror stories!

The other day we had an "AFK" player leave his mic/headset on, and the other players could hear everything that was going on in his gaming room. He started watching anime porn.

Awkward.

Got a voice communication horror story? Perhaps just a voice pet-peave?

The term is hentai.
Jeez.

Unless the material he watched was of the actually horrible variety, the only bad things about that story was 1) the fact that he forgot to turn off his mic (easy mistake to make) and 2) the fact that you guys kept listening (closet perverts). Because honestly, who cares what adults do on their own time.

this is a great idea. I need to do this in my voice chat soon.

If you kicked the guy from your fc, let him know that if he transfers to Jenova and joins my FC and voice chat, ill pay him in gil for it.

Erm...no. It's エロアニメ...or so I've heard.

Whoa you mean someone in this community watched animated characters in an erotic fashion

No ways

How did you know it was anime porn, and just not some kinky cosplay?

Sounds like Senpai :cool: noticed him after all.

I do want to start singing in voicechat again. I do that sometimes when no one is on.

Didn't happen to me directly, but happened in a friend's raid that he happened to be streaming (I and my BF were the only viewers, fortunately). SMN in his group wore a wireless headset, took a break between Second Coil turns to use the bathroom and...forgot to turn his mic off. >__> Everyone was decorous enough not to say anything, though I could never look at that character the same way again.

Yea.. Because this type of thread is appropriate for a forum that is for feedback for the developers of FFXIV.. Reddit is that way --->

Its a general forum to discuss all aspects of the game.

Community and social aspects of the game included - just ignore the thread if you don't like it.


On topic: I have a habit of hitting my "push to talk button" at inappropriate moments, if I get scared/startled my FC usually hear me screaming like a girl XD

ORRRR they hear my dad singing in the background ... no one should have to hear that.

Long ago, I was in a static with a group of guys, one of whom was a stay at home dad for like five kids. His kids would come up to him mid-raid and he'd go "DADDY'S BUSY" unless it was truly an emergency.

Could have been normal anime? it all sounds like porn

That feedback forum section is specifically for the website, not things in the game, with the exception being the Localization sub-forum which is specifically for textual issues within the game. So, please don't put in-game feedback in that section; it doesn't go there.

Ahh I stand corrected, even still the general discussion forum still allows for all aspects of the game, not just feedback which was my point.

Thanks for the info though! :)

In one of the few times I've ever used voice chat, I was playing Perfect World to chat to the guild. All of a sudden, during an interesting conversation on the merits of a new class, my daughter, who had been happily bouncing on my knee, let out one of the loudest burps ever. It took me a good ten minutes to convince the guildies it was my youngster and not me. Cheeky little lady.

No problem. I just get annoyed that on the few occasions I want to make a website suggestion the section of the forums for that is deluded with in-game suggestions. Hard to request higher resolution images in the fan kits when every thread around you is about emotes, hairstyles, and game balance. . .

Higher resolution images for the fan kits would be amazing Q_Q

I can understand how that would be frustrating!

I was in voice chat with a friend at one point and she just started singing, not realizing she had her push-to-talk button down. There were three or four of us in the room. She was VERY embarrassed. lol

I do this too sometimes, but not when I get startled. Mostly when I'm talking to someone in real life, like if my roommate comes in and needs something. I'll be talking to him then hit push-to-talk and everyone in the voice chat is like "Wat"

Talking on the phone is the worst for this. Talking into a machine? Hit the button!

If they only have one TS/Vent/Mumble/whatever channel, it's not like they have many options for going elsewhere to continue their chat. They all very well may have just muted him after they figured out what was going on, so #2 is a stretch :p And no one said it was bad they were watching porn, simply that it was awkward. How the hell does this post have 10 likes?

Oh gosh. I have a good one.

I was down visiting my boyfriend (we don't live in the same city). He was pugging FCoB when it was still on lock-out and I was sitting beside him facetiming with my mother.

Well, I suppose the fact that my mother was listening must have slipped his mind, because after wiping on t11, to lighten the mood he said, "Well, the good news is my girlfriend isn't pregnant."

My mother didn't say anything, but I sure gave him a good smack on the arm and a I'm-going-to-kill-you-later look. I don't remember how he managed to weasel out of sleeping on the sofa that night, lol.

My wife loves to "voice bomb" my raids. Usually something like..."Who wants pizza???!!!!!???" at full volume.

I believe the words "horror story" were included. While horror can be used to describe something positive, such as in the case of someone loving horror movies, from the context it's quite clear that in this case the storyteller used it to convey something they felt was bad.

Yes, muting someone is extremely easy, so even if they had only one voicecom channel (who the hell has only one voicecom channel...) it would have been no problem at all to stop listening. And maybe they did. Did you have a point at all?

I like her style ;)


Ad nothing truly horrible for me. The worst I've had was when I joined an acquaintance's TS for help on a fight. He discovered that I'm female, and turned up the creep factor quite a bit. I made up an excuse to leave, and went back to my FC's TS, and then in a moment of confusion they ended up giving him our TS information as they thought he was still helping me. He joins and he pretty much refused to address or talk to anyone else and continued on as before. My FC mates found this absolutely hysterical and were trying to egg him on while I was squirming in my seat.

This is my own failing, but I have an extremely hard time telling people to piss off unless they are actively trying to be an asshole. :(

Hiccups.

Used to use Ventrilo. Now and then I'd have the push-to-talk turned off and leave it as voice activated.
Apparently, my hiccups would sound like a squeaky toy being chomped on, or like a yapping dog.
It was a moment of,
Everyone: "*Sudden silence* .....what was that?"
Me: ".....>.>; I hiccuped..."
Everyone: "LOOOOLLLl what the heeelll omgggg looool"
Me: "FFFUUUUUUUU......" *Continuous hiccups*

My voice isn't even that high pitched, but there it is.
o_<

There was one time for raiding we dragged one of our members down to the TS channel we were in and he was singing. He didn't even notice he was moved until we were yelling at him to ask him to stop so we could discuss the plan.

There are also times where I hit my PTT key while talking to someone IRL and forget I'm actually in a channel on TS/mumble... >_>

Does anyone else have that "one raider" in the group who absolutely insists that no one can actually hear the TV he/she has blasting at full volume in the background? That we ALL must be imagining it because there is NO WAY we can hear every line of dialogue from Too Faster and Mas Furiosa or whatever is being Netflix'd right by his/her computer.

The main tank from my static has a bathroom directly connected to his room. Very often we can listen to him peeing, flushing and washing hands. It has become a sort of an in-joke when he comes back and we noticed he didn't wash his hands, then we send him back to the bathroom. Lolz.
