Any reason why we can't talk to our FC in Frontlines?

[Evangela]

It's against the freedom of speech and very annoying.

[Jeykama]

Unfair collaboration, mostly.

What the hell does freedom of speech have to do with this.

[NargaHuntress]

Because your fc mate might be in failstorm and you in imortal lames and start passing info about what you or his team is doing. You may think its minor but it only takes 1 say to say that mu group is going is heading to markets and our outpost is unguarded so you and your team can just skip markets and take their Outpost.

I was unaware of this, I seem to recall being able to talk in FC chat in Frontlines, but then I was also in a FC party... May be a bug or I may be remembering wrong.


And it has absolutely nothing to do with the legal or constitutional concept of "Freedom of Speech". Just throwing that out there.

as if they can't do that via teamspeak/vent/skype/line or anything else.

Of course unfair collaboration via outside channels can't be prevented. That doesn't mean the game itself should allow it to happen within its own channels.

Don't see why not. Cheaters gonna cheat.

All something like this really does is make the activity less enjoyable for people that aren't even "collaborating" in the first place.

[Yukiko]

Because no one is using Teamspeak... sure... in your dreams!
Thats an useless feature!

Result is we already see win trading when 2 factions are helping to bash the 3rd.
Communication is power, and SE can not stop it just with disabling chat...

You can read what ppl say but not answer.

basically inside a FC you can have people in different grand companies, so it is a way to prevent unfair co-operation, using teamspeak to tell people where you are and what you team is doing is still cheating techniquly using a 3rd party app and is reportable, but they cannot block teamspeak since it is 3rd party so the best they could do was block FC, Shout and yell :3
