Cant find a FC that uses voice chat a lot

[Sammix87]

I'm a gamer who never uses these kinds of things and one of the main reasons I have for not using teamspeak is that the accent from where I live and they way in which I actually talk is not pleasant to the ear (using slang words, terms from my local area) is likely to be difficult for other's to understand too especially so if they are not from the UK. I have a French friend who cannot understand me on Skype at all despite her fluency in English.

I think to boot that some people are generally shy, not just women either, and some players just don't want to partake in this kind of chat though I know many gamers that do so happily.

I'm a woman and I use voice chat all the time. I like talking. We also have some people in our FC who get on TS to listen but don't talk - either they don't have a microphone or just don't want to talk, but they want to be part of the fun. Our FC has a lot of fun on TS.

My FC uses TS a lot too.. Sure, a lot of the members doesn't use it, but there's usually 2-6 on! Ofc, this is both when we're playing and just hanging out :P

My FC uses Teamspeak all the time.

Even when the servers go down for maintenance, we still hang out and play Cards Against Humanity.

Tell me your guild s name. I see that ur main is in balmung as mine. I like to socialize and get to know and make real friend and not just in game but outside the game too. I think that is the reason some of us like to use voice chat. It is not just for raids/bosses.

Our FC uses voice chat for events and raids sometimes, but not in general. Reasons would be

1. like some have stated - some are on console
2. people might not feel comfortable voice chatting
3. so as not to exclude people it's just easier to chat in text

We have the option there when it helps for gameplay.

I really don't understand the burning desire to vocally talk all the time in game.

My FC TS tends to be really empty. It's typically just me and my buddy on there. We've tried to get the FC more active on it, but for various reasons (some have to use their phones and others aren't used to navigating or speaking on voice comms), it's largely only used for events/raids.

I've been a big VOIP user for all my MMOs, so logging into TS when I log into the game just feels normal. It feels stranger to me to not be on a voice chat while playing.

I know in particular my FC uses mumble as our choice of voice chat a great deal. For the most part during active times we usually have anywhere between 5-20 people on mumble. We invite people to openly use it often and not only for raiding so its part of the FC culture I would say for us. Don't know about other FCs though. Also..Cactuar best server yeah!
Edit: and yes this includes pc, ps3, and ps4 users alike there are phone apps or you can simply have a laptop/computer nearby hooked up to mumble/voice chat its what I do since i'm on ps4

My FC (same server as original poster) has Teamspeak and uses it for raids and such. Some members use it for casual chitchat as well, but I, personally, am not really interested in casual chitchat, and so rarely use it outside of raids. I tend to get very focused on the things that I'm doing in-game, and find chatter distracting unless it's directly related to what I'm doing. I have noticed members logging on and saying things like, "Man Teamspeak is empty today," so clearly some of our members are interested in it for that purpose.

Keep in mind that you are playing a MMO. This is quite possibly the nerdiest thing imaginable short of LARP, and so you can expect quite a lot of players to be introverted to one degree or another.

We're called Onslaught and have been around since the very beginning.

My FC uses mumble since we have both PC and PS3/4 players: PC players use it on PC while PS players use smartphone app or tablet. We are mainly based in UK but also have active players and key officers from France, Sweden, Germany, Italy and other EU countries of different nationalities from all over the world. Generally from the afternoon there'll be at least 3 or 4 players staying in the mumble channel, and for FC events we'll have the full party on voice chat, which is A LOT OF joy. We even made a French chatting channel at the very beginning but then found out ppl would rather talk with everyone altogether, LOL. We post member server info on FC board and welcome all member to join us on voice chat even they're not willing to speak or don't have a microphone.

An interesting thing is that all of our FC officers have same gender in game and IRL (2 girls including me atm), though some did change once or twice and then changed back again. ;3
