Guild Wars 2

I normally never post on these forums as I know nothing will ever change.
But I must bring this up as not many have.

GIVE US AN INGAME TEAMSPEAK.

Maybe not in Hotjoins, but in soloque and Teamque I still do not know WHY this is not implemented. Literally every major “esports” game has this except gw2.
Lets look at the adv vs. disadv.

Adv:
- GW2 will finally have some strategy involved. At least one person with some experience talking will make a HUGE difference.
- There will be callouts, unlike now where everyone runs around like headless chickens.
- No need for external teamspeak.
- Simply more fun and a better sense of community.
- (im sure there are 100 more advantages)

Disadv:
- Little kids trolling the mic. Easily solved by telling them to shut the fhek up.

As you can see the advantages largely outweight the disadv. Absolutely no reason not to have it and im starting to believe Anet just cannot be screwed.
Alot have turned their backs on gw2, but this is the least anet can do.

Voice communication does allow for more in depth strategies and counter-strategies. Hopefully Anet can introduce this.

I will say that Curse Gaming created a voice program for a different game company recently that has a MOBA. I don’t know if they’re involved in an exclusivity contract with the company in question or if they’d be interested in working with Arenanet as well. Might be a cheap, efficient way of implementing such an idea.

Voice comms are very bandwidth intensive. It would cost ANet a bomb and I don’t think it’s fair to expect them to provide something like that in a subs-free game.

Besides, you can use Curse Voice even with randoms: once you install it, you can start your own voice server with literally the click of a button, and the program will give you a URL you can send to other people so they can join you. It’s surprisingly fast and easy! Just paste the URL in team chat and anyone who also has Curse Voice will be able to join your server.

I know not many people have it installed or even know about it, but I guarantee that, if everyone who solo queues a lot pastes a Curse Voice url in team chat before every game, A LOT of people will have downloaded it within a week.

I dont think it would cost Anet a bomb if you can rent a reliable 512 TeamSpeak server as low as 50€ per month. 512 slots of bandwith would probably cover the entire pvp community considering how small it is :p
Bandwith is dirt cheap nowadays. Saving on this is just profit maximisation.
If I download a 30GB game on Steam it will cost Valve probably less than 10 cents for the bandwith. I dont see them complaining if I decide to install and uninstall games all day and causing 100GB bandwith per day.
