Cant find a FC that uses voice chat a lot

[minipope]

Why is it impossible to find an active FC that is active on comms?

Have this problem too. My FC has a teamspeak but no one ever uses it... I never really liked TS but now I do, oddly enough.

i know its nearly impossible :P

There are a few reasons why. The most common is that you cannot use voice chat easily on the ps3 or ps4. So, a lot of players do not get on it for that reason.
Another would be many do not like to sit with a headset on all day. I for one have music playing and would not be able to hear people or the music at the same time.
Also, a big reason is that many chat in multiple linkshells. It is hard to have them all on voice chat like that.

I am not saying they are not out there. Just that it might be harder than say in TERA or WoW because of these reasons.

I was always curious about this claim, my entire FC plays on Ps3/Ps4, save one or two people, and we're on mumble just fine together

Maybe you could give some details to other PS3/PS4 users so that they can use voice chat easily with their FCs . You have to download a phone app or something?

those of us playing on PS4 in my FC are on voice chat constantly, we use the PS party chat system and it's super easy.

The ps4 is definitely not an excuse NOT to talk as if anything it's easier there than anywhere else, the difficulty comes in talking to PC players should that need arise.

I have mumble,skype,TS,vent on my laptop but why would I want my laptop on next to me when I'm gaming and chatting on a PS4?

Many members in my fc use psn chat as well. I also have other voip programs jic.

My static has two PS4 users, one uses his phone and the other has a laptop next to him with TS.

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.
