Ps4/Xbox1/PC Voice Chat

[Hammerhorn]

We need either a in game voice chat or a app that can connect Ps4 players with PC players and soon Xbox1 players. My guild is all Ps4 players, I have to deny access to PC players to our raid guild for the simple fact that we would not be able to talk quickly in raids. In the age of technology this is just stupid , we need to bridge the gap before the Xbox 1 players arrive and we are split in 3 camps. This is a community problem that effects everyone , lack of a in game voice chat only promotes division. Hell even ESO has in game voice chat and its a POS compared to FF14.

This isn't Needed. There are countless 3rd party programs that already do this and SE doesn't seen to spend time on it.

3rd Party programs will work on PC and Apple and Android Cell phones .. No need to spend time on this.

I dont believe its not that they dont want to spend time on this - its rather that SE doesnt want to give people the feeling they have to use a voice chat and I can totally get behind that. And say Crystal already said - there are a lot of third party programs offering what you need... so keeping the voice chat out of the game seems legit enough to me.

[Hammerhorn]

I cant believe you wouldnt want this theres no way for a PC player to connect with PSN party chat as things are!?

[Hammerhorn]

Your third party programs are only for PC players to talk with PC players unless your gonna use your cell phone for mumble which imo is stupid.

[Hammerhorn]

Now if PSN designed a way for Mumble to work on PS4 then you could connect the worlds of PC and PS4 , ventrillo , team speak whatever we have no bridge atm from Ps4 to PC and it sucks.

I don't see reason for being exclusionary in selecting raid members in this manner. Why is voice so important for you?

[Vidu]

...I'm constantly raiding and connecting to people on PS3/4... granted, I'm on PC so the inconvenice with getting a program to work on a laptop/phone/whatever lies with them... but I honestly prefer that over an ingame voice chat that would give people the feeling they HAVE to use one now. Not everyone is confident about that, you know? And with the attitude some people are already showing in normal chat, I can totally understand why.

Yes, voice chat is helpful, specially when raiding. But there are ways around it and thats most likely better than having someone tell a poor newbie in a dungeon to come on voice chat and start shouting at them and insulting them when they mess up...

My FC uses Discord to chat.
PS4 players (such as myself) just run it on our phones, laptops, ect.
It's really not a big deal.

Not really big on voice chat, grates on my nerve's 80% of the time so I'd rather not be told I have to use it because there is one available.

I can just do my thing and trust others to do their thing, I like it that way.
