Ps4/Xbox1/PC Voice Chat

[Cakekizyy]

I get the feeling alot of you against this in game voice chat are scared, scared that someone will put together clear groups that requires voice chat. Would it be so horrible.? After all isnt this a MMO shouldnt we be social ? Ive been with people who say they are in A8 content and proceed to screw up all the A5 mechanics because they didnt want to join voice because they were "too good " to be told anything. Cross platform voice chat is the future get on board.

Requiring voice is a bad thing. What about those that are deaf or mute?

I get the feeling that alot of you against this third-party chat programs are scared, scared that some groups will use these chat programs to communicate past the limitations of your platforms of choice and create clear groups regardless of platforms. Is that so horrible? After all, wouldn't a program dedicated to voice chat by itself be superior by getting constant updates and being flexible on open platforms, than a game that tries to do everything and falls at it? I've been with people whos said they are in A8 content only to proceed and screw up A5 mechanics all because they were too lazy and stubborn to even try to use these programs because they were too "PS4 ONLY PC GTFO" to be of use to anything. Third-party chat is the future get on board.

To be fair though, it's this kind of thinking that will hold the game back.

If your deaf, I really have no comment there. But mute people, nobody is saying you even have to speak at all in voice. Sometimes just being there to listen for call outs is more than enough for the communication. Somethings are just easier to say via voice than to type it in the chat box; especially in hardcore content such as savage where voice would matter the most. Not everyone is "I use a mic so you have to as well". Some people would just rather speak with a mic themselves. No one is making you use yours. They just want you to be able to hear them.

PSN network so great get on their boards and tell them to open it up for PC and X box players to use. "You're thinking locally, when you should be thinking globally. Buddd-ieee"

Yoshi P has already addressed this with the opinion of many in this thread. It's an old thread but I doubt the opinion has changed.

TLDR: we can't support it because cons outweigh the pros, we are aware of third party alternatives that you can use and unofficially support your use of them.

As for the OP, You can use discord, and I believe Teamspeak on your phone, so you can have that running while on your PS4. The real solution for this problem would be for Sony to support a Discord/Teamspeak PS4 app (sorry PS3 players, but lack of voice chat is the least of your problems).

Has there ever been a mmo with a good voice chat system?

People do that anyway but it isn't 100% of groups that do which is something it very likely will be if this was implemented.

Yes we should, but I'll be social how I choose to be social not be forced to put up with annoying little brats screaming into my ear. If I wanna chat I'll go 3rd party if not I won't, I like having options available to me... Call me odd. It's not something I'm willing to do for random people as the internet is still the internet voice chat or no. I usually reserve it for people I know in real life, people I've had conversations with on forums or people I've got to know within the game itself.

Social yes, Voice Chat no. You can be social via the chat box and typing. I do not want voice chat in the game. People will start trying to force you to join or kick you. No thanks.

I don't need to listen to whiny teens, vulgar people, or drunks when trying to play the game. I have never used voice chat and will not ever use it.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I agree.
