Guild Wars 2

Anet I love that your encounters require communication and team work, but not providing your players with the means to have these communications is very lazy.

Plenty of third party software for VoiP out there, especially if you’re in a guild..

Yeah, well when not in a guild it would be nice kitten

My point is. Pugging is pretty much impossible.

I finished fractals up to difficulty scale 5 with a pug group, with no VoiP, only a brain. It’s quite easy when everyone understands the area, we only had I believe, 2 wipes for the entire duration of the time we were together. You don’t need VoiP if you understand the dungeon, sure there will be wipes in the beginning, and lots of confusion but you can easily type what you mean…

You don’t need VOIP, but they really should put it in anyways – make it only work in sPvP and Dungeons and within 5 man groups (PvE/WvWvW).

It would make the game so much better, and frankly there is no reason not to – it’s one of those “ease of use” things that should have been in from release.

I haven’t found any encounter in PVE in this game that would REQUIRE VOIP.

If you pay attention to what is going on you can minimize the amount of communication needed to radar PINGS/DRAWING and chat. And even that only when you do the encounter for the first time.

Keep in mind that not everybody can use voice communication. Giving it in game might result in parties not wantint to take such ppl. That would be bad.

Everyone can turn output on…not everyone needs an input.

Not once had any problems. No need for VOIP, AT ALL.
