"You need Voice Chat to do Coil"

[TeaTimeBear]

Words spoken in a video I watched. For me that's not a big deal, as I have both a phone and a desktop. But this has me wondering, if said quote is a requirement, why isn't it in the game???

Why make us have to find work arounds? And what about those who have zero access to said work arounds. Are we to leave them behind telling them to bite the bullet? You might consider telling them to watch the videos. Some of the stuff that's shown in the vids requires precise positioning, and I just can't see many willingly studying the turns as if it were a medical exam. So what's to become of those of us on PS3?

What are your solutions for this? How have you all overcome this problem( can you even do such?)

Could always play on the PC and use a controller? =P

I use to use my laptop next to me when I play on ps3 and realized its too annoying to have so instead I downloaded TS3 on my Iphone and do just fine.

This is not a problem on anyone's part besides your own.

BTW did you just watch BG's vid of them downing Twintania? There is practically 0 chatter during the boss fight.

one solution is to separate your party chat window with your battle chat window. make sure everyone in your party does this so you can see what communications come across w/o having to stop and scroll.

It's not a requirement, it just may make things easier (any more effective way to communicate makes things easier).

It's a requirement for most groups that run coil. It's not a requirement for coil. There's a difference.

There is 0 chatter because they all have done the fight over and over again and near the end commands were barked out which led them to their win.

Yeah I know that, but there's a huge difference between coordinating via chat or doing it via voice. Especially where one mess up will down the whole party. It seems so very vital for the turns to ensure with utmost certainty a good run. BG used it and called out movements during twister. How would you manage that with chatting when the cast time was so quick?

[RyujinUzikin]

Why not just mark the targets that need to be taken down? Whatever else is there? Avoid stuff?

I personally don't see the need of VC if you already know the pattern of coil.

I think the op's point was if people feel this is needed to perform well in dungeons it should be an added feature for in game chat. Or was I mistaken?
