Guild Wars 2

Silvercyclone.1462:

My guild thinking of joining JQ ts but since we are a multi-server guild we were told that most of our members we not welcome in the ts im sure its like that on every server that has a voice chat. As far as I’m concerned server voice chat can go kitten themselves. What we need is 1 voice chat server for the whole game.

Multi server guilds are the very small minority in wvw. WvW is server based so 1 voice chat for the entire game would not work at all.

As with many servers that operate on a public/private TS, you guild as a whole would probably be welcome in the pve/public section, but would not as a guild be welcome in the wvw sections.

as a individual player am sure you could be verified into the private wvw sections of the server that you are on.

As for your guild getting their own channel, that is up to the individual admins, but usually only if you are a part of the server community who’s ts you want to use. TS licenses (especially those with 1000 slots) and server hosting is expensive for large servers. Giving slots out for free to people from other servers usually means at the expense of their own players. So usually only guilds part of the community are given their own channels.

I did not know this. Do you manually have to mute people one at a time?

…

That or the commander that sounds like he just got out of middle school and his voice is still changing

I mute people as they annoy me and never un-mute them. 90% of the people on TS rarely make a useless peep so once you mute the rest TS is very usable. This is only good for listening in on channels since talking in one with muted users often leads to players unknowing talking over each other. I just use map chat for call outs in this scenario.

There is another way that a friend uses. You can set the playback of the sound device way down then on people you want to listen to right click and change their volume to a higher setting. This way most people are muffled and the ones you want to listen to are nice and clear. The other advantage to this system is you won’t be talking over people if you want to talk in the channel. You may not hear what they are saying clearly but you will know if they are talking.

Excellent idea. I hadn’t thought of that one.

nah the biggest problem would be who controls the TS who would get admin rights, who would be able to make channels etc….so I doubt it will ever happen.

You could have map, team (squad), party, and guild channels. Map would be open. Team would be run by the commander. Party by the party leader, and guild by guild officers.

I only see real problems for abuse with an open map channel.
