Built in voice chat

[weeble]

personally one of the few things i'm glad about is that they don't add in game vent. i still have hope that vent will not become the full norm when ps3 launches just like in ffxi where we all used typing and macro's only. yeah it saves a little time and can help in battles at times but usually not needed for pve ...specially if all is going the way it should be. plus the same time to hit the talk button usually the same amount of time to hit the macro button for a simple command if need to remind people what to do.

i'd rather waste the 30mins, hell even an hour for an event typing out stuff then having to spend the full 3-8hrs in vent for the event listening. i dont' talk in it(most don't, usually the same 3-10people only in there talking everyday) so listening is horrid to me. can you imagine with all the endgame that comes out later like in ffxi and having to be in vent for it all? that's like 4-12hrs everyday for a non casual player to be sitting and listening in vent. no thanks.

I've heard this argument before when this was brought up, but what if the in game chat was just as good or better than those programs. Why would people not use it?

Because it never going to be better People would use Vent,TS and mumble because the ping is lower due to them being in there own Country. Ingame voice chat would never be that great for PC users but for PS3 i think they could do something like portal did with PC users and PS3 users. But at the end Endgame ls would use TS3,vent or mumble and ps3 users have to find a way to use it or do something else.

I just don't see a way to make both PC and PS3 use the same system. It be nice if PS3 can use 3rd program tools like vent.ts3 or mumble

there is the added complexity of making a proprietary VOIP work with both PC and PS3 users, seeing that many PC users already use existing VOIPs. (Mumble in my case) Sry to say this, but I don't see SE adding one.

I agree with the OP. The game should have a voice chat feature at LS options because when the PS3 time comes they will need to have a game where the console player can be in even situation (gameplay-wise) of a PC player without the need of having to use a PC in addition to the console.

Would be cool to have a build in voice chat of some sort...ventrillo is so useful but it can be pain when people decide not to use it or use other methods. Sure people will still decline using the built in but at least you wont have to have mumble account/ts account/vent account/skype account in order to please everyone's personal preferences. Besides why wouldn't you want to communicate with your friends and linkshell mates. Unless of course you aren't who you say you are which is a totally different thread. /stares at the Man'quotes...

voice chat will be a good future for the PS3 version. it wont be fair if its exclusive to pc users.

LOTRO had voice chat that worked great when I played, I don't see what the big deal is either way though.

as soon as SE figures out auto-translate into voice chat I'm sure they will get right on that

I would like to see this, but we don't have any word. If they don't do it, hopefully they, or one of us will white a UI tool that works with what is already out there.

As for PS3, I think it's a good call in some respects. Here's hoping
