Ingame voice chatting for groups and guilds.

Post » Fri Jan 25, 2013 9:45 am

Recently I have been playing a lot of Planetside 2, and realized just how much being in contact by voices is important to the grouping, and finding friends etc. In planetside 2 there is an outfit (guild) a squad (group) and proximity chat (just within 10 meters). It works really well! The quality is not as good as teamspeak or any other serious voice chat. But it works for its purposes. Having instant voice communication when joining a group in an game like this would work wonders. It would free up your hands to type, and clear a hell of a a lot of misundestandings and tactics. In these public dungeons that they are wanting many of proximity chat would be really good. Running up to someone and asking for help on the fly, or saying "putting down oil!" so the guy knows what you use and so on. Also just asking for groups in general and so forth. It has ALOT of potential. It would be nice if we could get an answer from a dev about this, is it in the pipe? Is it even considered etc.

But what do you guy think, good idea to have in TESO?

We talked about this recently.

I agree though, we should have in-game voice chat.

They don't even have to develop their own. They could just integrate mumble/vent ect the way they integrated facebook.
