Guild Wars 2

So there was recent talk about how in-game voice communication would help out with solo players or pugs, and I thought I’d just drop this gem here.

It’s called Curse Voice, I’ve been using it recently in other games, and it’s practically amazing. What’s even better is that everything about it is FREE.

http://beta.cursevoice.com

What’s unique to this compared to teamspeak or mumble is that it is REALLY SIMPLE to join and leave sessions, compared to joining servers w/ passwords and other stuff. Curse Voice gives you a simplistic URL and you can copy paste that for yourself and friends to join sessions. It creates unique sessions, so that random people can’t enter unless they have the URL.

It’d be cool if more ppl started using this, so before matches start, you would see ppl copy-pasta a session and quickly get into voice comms. What would be even more awesome is if ArenaNet supported the use of it’s auto-matching feature. Anyways, GLHF and hope this helps.

yes get it done…. ive been saying this for a while CLEARLY THE ONLY REAL FIX TO SOLO Q #WILLNOTTYPE

This is cool, and ill probably use it for parties since i hate having to sign into a different ts with a long kitten server name.

but i doubt this will be used in matches, or at least i wont participate since id really rather not listen to someone raging at me for not rezzing them when their on mid with 4 enemies spamming aoes.

Biggest thing is the ability to automatically connect with your team in soloq etc. Any VOIP is a nice thing but making it absolutely convenient to listen to your team is key.

As long as I can mute it I don’t mind.

This will work great with GW2’s inability to copy text from the chatbox not.

Check Vylo for an alternate solution. Create a easy-to-type web address – I might use voice.supermegahappyfuntime.com for example – and have it redirect to a Vylo room. Vylo is zero-config voice chat. It’s simplistic (no push to talk) but requires no downloads, just a web browser.

You can immediately mute/unmute ppl with 1 click, so that would be the best option. Just like in game that you can turn off map chat or team chat or just ignore it.

I definitely agree, but Anet has to do their part to make it accessible to Curse Voice. Hopefully they’ll look into it as other esports games have (League of Legends and Smite to name a few).

You can paste stuff into the game, but yea its hard to copy. All you need is the 5-6 digit ending, so that’s pretty easy and fast to type in.

Bump. With the announcement of the league system.. I find this to be HIGHLY revenant
;-]

Also, promoting this in-game with double reward track point weekends when using curse voice or something along those lines would go a long way.

I dont like the curse network, so I wont use their stuff.
