Didn't the devs also give a sort of "weird" explanation about the matter like how they don't want to do this because they don't want female players to feel harassed through voice chat or something?
How is that a "weird" explantion when its a real issue? I remember Titan HM sell-adds offering free service for girls joining their TS...
While this might only be one reason, as a female player I do consider it a good one (sadly...)
Harassment wouldnt only be limited to female players though - this was discussed before and I'll repeat myself: As soon as they add a voice chat to the game its a pretty strong signal that the content is supposed to be played using voice chat, making it a mandatory option for things like PF or even DF. And no, thanks - its easy enough to get a voice chat working with the game, if you WANT that. No need to waste ressource on an ingame voice chat that has enough potential to cause harm...
(I could also imagine that it would be more difficult for the GMs to take actions against harassment that happend in voice chat - they can acces our chat logs, but... if they would want to do the same with the voice chat they had to record it... so...)
There are 2 many other 3rd party applications that let you do this. I don't think it's something SE should spend time on.
Commendations.
If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
If I play healer I only give it out to tank.
Only if they should be getting a commendation.
There are always exceptions to the rules!
I'd have it turned off 24/7. I only use discord, last thing I want is to hear someone's horrible music blaring, that guy who doesn't know how to blow his nose, the girl who thinks she can sing....I'll pass on it all.
Only if it's limited to non-duty finder parties.
I don't really want to hear random people's voices, or hear god knows what people may play on their mics when I'm running through idyllshire. I've seen what happens with the open mic policy in elder scrolls online and things get weird sometimes.
I dont think its necessary to use up resources to create an ingame voice chat feature.
Most people will keep using teamspeak or discord (just like back then when WoW made one and noone used it).
The players who use a PS4 usually have a teamspeak or discord app installed on their phones.
We already have free 3rd party options to use for voice chat~ is this something SE really needs to spend time and resources on?
WoW has ingame voice chat... most people don't even know its there, even less people use it, if at all.
TS, Ventrilo, hell Discord is all thats needed and then some.
Don't want to use it for w/e odd reason, thats on you.
Challenge the weak to make them strong.
In game voice will make fights much easier, every night when I'm playing feast I hope teammates can hear what I'm saying so I don't need to type them out. Especially when I'm the healer.
But then I realize... if they can hear "I need mp manasong plz now!" they can also hear "Wtf is this **** doing he's blind or what" lol
So, I'll choose no voice lololol
