Guild Wars 2

Simply implement the enabling and disabling of in-game voice chat so you can be more social and have more communication in events and/or groups and dungeons. Too much of a hassle to add everybody everytime on skype, but don’t want to be unorganised in some serious events.

I do agree and think voice chat is one of the major features that could be implemented. I’m sure there are issues with server load and bandwidth, but if at all possible, do it.

or as a friend of mine pointed out allow some mode of existing voice chat to access the game.

So that the game doesn’t do anything but manage the information not the actual voice chat.
Right click you and use the option of join your voice chat and it connects mumble or what not to the settings you provided in the options of your character.

DDO has an in-game voice chat system, but all hardcore users still use Ventro or Mumble. I don’t feel that AN should waste dev resources re-inventing the wheel.

The only way—join a guild that has Ventrilo ( or whatever)-rent your own vent and invite people. It would just have a negative impact (in so many ways) if it was implemented in game.

Let me try this again. What are the advantages that Vent and Mumble have over DDO’s in-game voice chat? Why do hardcore users still use them?

From my experience, the audio quality of the in-game VC is considerably less than the 3rd party options and it is very basic; it does not support any of the standard features such as voice normalization.

There are, no doubt, many other differences, but I am not qualified to talk about that.

voice chat is a gateway for hackers.

Everybody always complains about hackers. But really, only stupid players are truly affected by hackers. Everyone else is only annoyed by them.

the game really needs better communication.
The voice chat in DDO was helpful to PUGS.
sure guilds and whatnot are going to use a third party system but casual players who REALLY need the voice instructions dont have it.

It doesnt have to be voice though.

A better in game text chat system would help too.
calls for help. expanded target calling.

Hear! Hear! In-game VOIP. Lesser games have it. We’re deprived!
