In game Team Communications

[stucarius]

Am I missing something? Is there a built in Team Speak (not text) feature for WoWs? Or is everyone using something like Ventrilo?

There IS a TS for WoWS beta testers, but most people just don't talk/type in-game. They "solo-yolo". WG community is not very "team-based".

where? I have been trying to get a teamspeak or Ventrilo setup for us to use?

[USMarine]

Most clans just use their own (like mine), but the "public" one is here:: wowsts.wgna.co:3950

 

But Idk the password.

I just use ts with friends. Alot of people don't want to coordinate/don't know how to. Shame really, games like this are alot better with VOIP.

SO far the only thing I think this game DESPERATELY needs is a built in voice client. The other WG products might be able to get by with out one but this game needs one badly. For this kind of game to really shine players need to be able to have some basic (beyond typing) communications. Right now every map is mostly a giant chaotic furball. (no that is not a good thing or historic.)

 

Players that are working together using their own communications can dominate the maps. I have experienced it myself and I have heard the same from multiple players. Seriously. While there are things people, including myself, are talking about like Torpedoes etc...It is the lack of a readily available voice client that is far and away negatively impacting the games playability.

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WG give us a built in client. Can you imagine WOW with out a client?

I can easily.  I would love to play games that didn't push voice communication on people.

Seriously? I find that really surprising. Being able to communicate with your team mates is such a big deal and I really don't think there are many games that push VC on folks but th black of it is crippling in a game like this.

 

I am a long time table top warmer so I enjoy the social aspect of gaming. I realize computer gaming tends to be very introverted. I understand that for many people, my wife among them, gaming is a release of tension and talking to people is not something they want. Generally I get this. In WOW you pretty much be totally solo. However doing raids with out communications would be a nightmare. 

 

I cannot think of a game I have seen which screams for communications so much as WoWs does. You need only talk to players that are calling each other on their cell phones or using a client to realize how it takes the chaos that is common on every map and turns it into organized lethality. Not having the option makes no sense. WoT's on Xbox is a dramatically better game than the PC version now that I have played both just for that reason. Communications.

 

I do understand where your coming from though.

I have a hearing loss bro.  Sorry it was a bad joke.  Thanks for being more tolerant than most though.

Coordination and communication are two different things. Having an open freebie com channel in a free online game in pubs seems like a bad idea to me. Then again you can always turn the volume off.

 

 

For public battles it won't make a difference anyways. Again, the issue is not communication, but coordination. Being able to talk -vs- type will just give you the ability to annoy people faster and offend them quicker. I don't see pub battles in this game that much less coordinated than XBL, etc.
