Guild Wars 2

What does voice ducking do? usually in other games i see this as an input for voice communication to where all sounds get lowered when someone is talking using a mic.

And it means the same thing in Guild Wars 2, too! I assume the game can recognize some third-party VoIP systems and lower the in-game sound levels while someone is talking. I don’t know if it works with TeamSpeak or Ventrilo but it definitely works just fine with Mumble.

it does indeed work with teamspeak.

nice i have never noticed.

Ahh, so that’s what “voice ducking” is. Now why was it called “voice ducking”? I’m an Asean (f. south-east asian) so I don’t know your American language culture Care to enlighten me?

ahh dont feel bad Shael! Its kinda new to alot of players on our side lol

This feature was explained during the beta, so I was aware of what it did. However, I have never noticed it working with Teamspeak. I have it set at the default position (in the center), having no idea which direction minimizes or maximizes the effect since the bar isn’t labeled. But I have just never heard the volumes of the in-game sounds drop any lower whenever someone on TS3 is speaking.
