Possible Voice-chat for GW - NCSoft & Vivox...

God i hope not,Pugs are more then annoying over text chat i dont need to hear there noobness over my headset too
Reason 2 is alot of gw players are on Dailup still me being one of them,adding voice chat in game would just bog down with lag. Stick to Ts or vent least there im not forces to have to lag cuz of it.

I shall never loose my vent admin powers, NEVAAA!!!

In GW, many things run in separate servers. That's why you an be playing after the chat server is disconnected and the chat an game lag can be different.

If that 'vivox' thing runs separately from the rest of the game, I don't care much about it, but if when that lags everything lags, it would be horrible.

They claim that it would have no impact in game servers. So the point left os to see if the system would have lag itself.
If you speak and it's eared two minutes ours later, then it's like not using a voice chat anyways.

I don't think you'll going to play GW2 with dialup anyway.

Well, if its in GW2, even if it has a disable feature, you know random groups are always going to be asking people to turn it on... I'll have to be using the "dog ate my headset" excuse fairly often.

Though sure, I cant argue the fact that it would be handy for when I wished to use chat.

I play halo 3 and that game has in-game voice chat. Its pretty cool until some younger kid gets on and starts yelling. I don't want a younger kid just randomly yelling, do you??

Mute him?

Sounds like a plan : ) Looking forward to this.

GW2 better have it, if it does people will still use ventrillo and such though cause it will probaly make game lag horrible. maybe not, but who knows.

It's pointless.

It won't be in GW nor GW2. Bandwidth would be too pricy for a non-monthly fee game.

1: Stop freaking out about a mute button. Anything involving VOIP has a MUTE BUTTON. You know, it's a standard feature. Developers aren't [that] dumb.

2: Speex codec > whatever crap they're using.

On the surface, having VOIP in the game is a boon to all players. Since it makes voice communication very easy to set up and use. Sure, most people do know about ventrilo and teamspeak and therefore have both installed but how about the new users? The ease of having VOIP is tenfold when you can speak with the people in your party everytime you make a party. Instead of telling the new people in your party to open up vent/teamspeak and log in through this address, port, etc. So, having a VOIP in the game is awesome.

However, if it is integrated badly and causes unnecessary lag, then it shouldn't be in there in the first place.

nobody wants to hear 30 year olds arguing like 10 year old children.

Please NO, I don't want to listen to retarded people's voices; their typed parodies of English are bad enough.

Yeah, they are. Dumber, in fact. Zaishen Track is a good example of this.

Why you wouldn't have Vent or TS downloaded is beyond me. An in-game talk feature really isn't necessary.

I love how people complain at the beginning about the lack of VOIP, now people complain about it. As with any other feature they ask for.

Ummmm no thanks, ventrilo will suffice.

Never asked for VoIP, never wanted it, not asking for it, don't want it.

Maybe in gw2..
