For PvE and PvP what do you think is best?
I don't think its needed for most PvE
For PvP, I think Vent is better, but thats just because TS doesn't work on my comp.
I have heard that Vent is better for advanced users and TS is better if you are newer.
I know XoO uses TS and Te and EviL use Vent.
What do you guys think?
TS vs. Vent - Your Opinion?

I prefer Ventrilo over Teamspeak. I had less issues vent in the past.

vent is clearer and has less lag. this really isnt even an issue. if anyone were to try them both out, vent is obviously the better choice. the only reason why anyone would ever use ts is when they want a private server and cant acquire a private vent.

For me they both have the same sound quality and neither causes lag spike issues.
They are both great so it is really just what interface you like best.

If you dont have a password vent is far better. Not having some one come in and yell "AMERICA RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO YEAH!". Also on Vent when some one comes in it says their name.
SOOOOOOOOOo Vent > TS
P.S. Sorry for the "F-Word" givin for authenticy.

Why have TS and no password? You are just asking to have someone do stupid stuff like that.

I have a guildie that runs a TS server off of his home PC so I don't have to worry about that.

Vent = Less Bandwidth.
That's why Vent is better.

My other temopary solution was Vent configured for a secondary sound card i plugged my heaset into and music playing on primary card using 5.1 speakers. Althou i had issues with hearing the music.
For me TS or vent is just the same.

Both are actually pretty much the same in regards to quality and lag.
Quality is determined by the codec which they share some of the most common one.
Lag is based on your host server.
Interface wise is the difference. At that level, it is more of personal choice.
Either one - a personal server is the best route.

I think they're both fine, though I prefer the interface for TS by far. In ventrillo, everyone sounds like they're whispering or talking really quietly all the time for some reason. Not as far as volume, but sound quality.
The Real Roy Keane
Those bindings on some vent servers are damn handy..are those available on TS too? These days, the bulk of the HA groups I play with use vent, although in the past I felt obliged to leave parties as I couldn't figure out how to use the damn thing. How the hell was I to know that 'sb vent' meant 'gw-vent.com?'
yangster
Vent because I can clearly hear people's voices than TS which you can have the volume at maximum and the people still can't hear you. I use TS though when no one has vent because of it's public servers. I know Vent has one but I forgot what the address was.
The Renegade Healer
I prefer vent, IMO the sound quality is much better. However, I use TS more often because it's more popular, and much more user friendly.

Vent because of many reasons

Vent has better sound quality, but if you don't want to be forced to use professional hosting services or a laggy public server, go for TS.
The "free" Vent server you can download from their page is nothing but a demo program. 8 slots - that's laughable. And they don't even SELL you licenses to set up your own server, they FORCE you to buy hosting services. I can't really say I like that business model.
With Teamspeak you can still set up your own server with 100 slots for free - that's enough for most guilds out there. And if you actually take the time to CONFIGURE that server, the sound quality is good enough and it won't lag much, too.
I will use Vent only when I am forced to, such in a HA PUG which insists on it - especially because it makes me change my operating system, since there is STILL no Vent client for Linux.
Thinking about it, I really wonder why Vent is so popular...

Because imo and many others sound quality and lag are better on vent, it's what all the main guilds use and i find it simpler to use and setup too.
That and there's sb vent too...

Vent : Because you can control other people's volume levels individually! Very handy with loudmouths who won't adjust thier mic volume to the rest.

Shut Your Mouth
I have used both for my guild. We have all come to the conclusion that Vent does provide a much clearer sound quality and does not create as much lag. Yet this as with all things is a personal opinion.
Vent>TS

Personally TS is much easier to configure, with more options, where for vent the options just don't seem to be there.
I also can't say I've ever had a problem with lag on TS...
It is too bad TS has lower sound qualities than vent does, but unless your comparing them side-by-side its not something people will really notice after using it for a little while (at least after using TS exclusively for a while didn't find myself cursing the low-quality, I don't think it ever really crossed my mind). The problem then just comes from idiots who refuse to properly setup their mic (And that isn't a problem unique to TS).

I've used both for years (other games)...as someone else said, if you're having sound quality or lag issues with either one, it's more about the codec being used and the host than the program itself. I've had equally good (and bad) experiences with both programs. One TS host I knew set up multiple channels with different codecs and bandwidth requirements so as to account for different users (everyone just used the "lowest common denominator" channel depending on who was on at the time). Personally I like vent for the comment features, otherwise they're pretty much equal.

Ventrilo seems a bit, awkward with settings, it's just not as clear. And TS has a nice clean look, and good interface.

I think vent is better then TS for 2 reasons.
#1 Comments - These are very usefull at most times for many reasons.
#2 Sound Effects - This is something not many people know about but if you right click someones name, go to Misc. then to sound effect you can adjust peoples volume from 0% - 800% great for managing the people that come in with really loud outbound.
I don't know if TS has those things though, I know they have a form of comments but thats it.

I repeat VENT does not have better sound quality. TS does not have better sound quality.
The quality is dictated by the CODEC used. If you are TS or Vent admin you can select which codec you prefer (less compression will increase latency).
Vent does support a slightly less compressed version of the Speex or GSM codec. HOWEVER, barely any server I have been on uses this codec. Most of them select the "medium quality" codec - especially if you have a lot of people on the server.
The difference is the interface - that is pretty much it.

For me Vent is better connection and thats all i care about. The big difference for me was that whjen i got TS and Vent at first it was easier to use vent then ts
