SuperMorto · 2011-12-14, 04:41 PM

Just wondering folks will PS2 have a good voice coms, or will you all be using something different like teamspeak?

We hope you'll use our built in Vivox chat. It will automatically create channels for vehicles you're in, squads, outfits (based on outfit permissions of who can use it) and (possibly) proximal chat for near by allies etc. We're putting a lot of effort into our voip solution.

Ht just switched to Mumble,we are running a 200 slot server so we have plenty of space for PS2,we always used Vent for the last 8 years but had a little trouble in the last year or more so we decided to try something new.

we can try the in-game comms during beta,thats what we are supposed to be doing,and if it is a workable solution then we could use it but Ht is going to be ready to provide voice comms because thats the key to a great game playing experience

Just what the doctor ordered!

Keep up the good work, give me loads of nice new shiny buttons, things to press and change ill be happy.

Hate faffing about with 3rd party progs. <<< full stop.

On another note, will it be pos for a NC, TR, and VS, chat? cross empire?

You're going to make the best in-game voice thing that works. And even have the option to mute all channels or some and people.

We're all just going to use Teamspeak 3 or Mumble.

Well, I hope not. Having everyone off in their own voice chat servers feels like instancing the game to me. Everyone in their own personal playground and not playing with anyone else. If we can deliver a system that's robust enough to meet the needs of the hardcore organized outfits, and at the same time be immediately available to the throngs of new players, lets you shout orders to pubs that are in the same room as you, talk to the guys in the random galaxy you jump in to escape a lost battle, etc. that will add a whole new dimension to the MMO part of our MMOFPS.

What I've always wanted to see in planetside is some sort of on screen visual evidence of who was talking so they wouldn't always have to identify themselves (in gotr we used a separate program than just teamspeak for this). The best would be not only highlighting their name in the squad list, but perhaps even some sort of change to their avatar (a special glow of their armor or insignia icon for example) indicating that they are the one speaking on the channel, as well as a corresponding flicker of their id on radar and the map.

thoughts?

Yea it's called mumble.

In the past, I used to think it would be awesome play a game with its own voice hosting system but they never worked back then. Now that I've used ventrilo and teamspeak for over a decade now......I can't help but wonder where my luster for a good in-game voice host went.
