Guild Wars 2

I know this is basically impossible.

But I believe that adding voice integration into the game in a radius for PvE…

and team for pvp

and some other mechanism for wvw

would really enhance the way this game is played cause its so easy to run with people

everything in this game is visceral and without effort except communication

… it would obviously cause immense issues hardware wise

but communication is difficult..

and TS and other things are nice but requires organization

I know this is a huge suggestion

maybe just for PVP and PVE in a radius … leave it out for wvw if and until it becomes viable.

I’ve seen it in one or two games, its a novelty at best, often becomes a nuisance with people being able to spam it.

More often than not it rapidly becomes left behind as people that are interested in communicating properly use the dedicated voice chat programs that are often always much better quality.

This reason exactly is why a lot of people don’t even realize there is a built in voice chat in that other popular MMO… (for those who can’t decipher, WoW)

Integrated voice chat systems more often than not don’t work out. They are a nice concept, but they never really work out. Many times they are poor quality as well, but what can you really expect when you have potentially thousands of players on a single voice server…

Dedicated voice chat services may require more organization and coordination but they are more reliable… plus you don’t get voice spammed by trolls on dedicated chat servers.

On a note about it being impossible, there is already a feature that allows mumble users to have their voice be affected by the locational relation to the listener (such as behind or on left side, and distance too, IIRC) if both have the feature enabled. So for that part, it wouldn’t be a technical impossibility. However, as said, resources might become an issue.
