In Game Voice Chat

[RyujinUzikin]

Prolly already people asked for it, but it's simple,

Not everyone has the access to the voice chat service providers, they are third party so its inevitable.

Why doesn't this game provide a voice chat? Isn't this supposed to be a next gen mmo?

And before you say ppl will start trolling, simply have a mute button ready to mute whoever's spamming.

And obviously, private chat and group chat/party chat/fc chat/ls chat/alliance chat/etc.

Thoughts?

Raidcall is free for that matter. ^^

I'd like an in game voice chat feature. Itd save me alot of time of having to download and set up voice chat programs and what not. It could also help me with teaching dungeon mechanics to newcomers. I love teaching newcomers.

Not to sound rude, but some of us would also like for people to check out the forum before posting a thread that has been beaten to death over, and over, and over.

Yoshi-P addressed this very early on.

So they don't wanna do it, still doesn't mean they shouldn't do it.

It's never coming.

SE apologizes for any incovenience this may cause and thanks everyone for their understanding.

If you want to use voice chat with your groups or friends, you will have to be more proactive about how to do it rather than relying on SE lol.

Voice chat in game will never happen and if it is, it'll suck.

No access to all the free voice chat services out there? Skype (on almost ever phone now), Mumble, Ventrilo, Teamspeak just to name a few and can all be ran on PC, MAC, iOS Devices, Android. Honestly if you have any of these you have access to voice chat.

I still like the idea of this system being utilized.

That being said, I think most people would use it right away; but then all the potential complications of cross-hardware functionality between PS and PC users. Of course the computer people will respond with how easy or hard it actually is....

In summary - excellent idea but not probable.
