Guild Wars 2

As topic says, instead of people needing to use Teamspeak, Ventrilo or Mumble etc.
It would be alot smoother, to add an ingame way of voice communication.
This should also be tweaked, so when someone speaks, that sounds get lowered from music or npc chat. I think this could be really helpfull when playing dungeon runs with randoms, but also in general for PvP etc. Ofc its still the players choice, but i think it could be really helpfull. Perhaps even for a GUILD?

Awesome idea in theory, very taxing for a company to not only support game servers, WvW servers, PvP servers, Trade uptime but also voice. I think Meta-Gaming should be left to perfectly fine 3rd Party providers. No reason to include this in-game besides ease, and it would not be easy to implement or maintain.

Good idea, aslong as it gets better than the WoW voice system = not working.

A well working clear voice system will do wonders for this game, A WoW-tier voice system will not.

How about this for an added idea. The voice chat is not party based but area based. Anyone in a 50 yard radius or so can hear you.

It’d be awesome to just be walking through and see some guy chopping trees while humming ‘another one bites the dust’, or something equally hilarious. Think of the youtube videos, people watch youtube videos then say “oh I want to be part of THAT game”.

Ofcourse this would need a very robust and easily accessible ‘mute’ feature that allows you to mute specific players. (and maybe a way to auto-disable it, if your in a huge raid or wvwvw situation.)

I support this. Great idea. Would bring in many new players. Not to mention, it would be A LOT easier to direct dungeon members, especially if it’s their first time running the dungeon, instead of having to type all the instructions on how to properly do it.

Integrated sound systems tend to be rather weak or bad (e.g. LotRo, WoW) not to mention an extra cost to maintain. Imo it’s better to spend those money on development of the game and leave the voice chat to 3rd party programs

Its not really our decission or our efforts into judging what is hot and what is not.
I mean, the Devs are the ones making the call, not us. Its just a suggestion.
