BizarreFetalChimpanzee Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I don't use voice chat on Warframe because I'm using the Steam VOIP, since I usually just play with friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellman Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 Any and every game I've ever played with the option to voice chat to everyone on the server...has never ended well when I had it on. I'll be honest, the very first thing I did when I started up the game was go into my options menu and disable voice chat. (Among other changes, it's just the first sweep that I always prefer to get out of the way before doing anythings.) Sorry, guys, but from my experience, it's not worth it. Much better when it's a Ventrilo/TS/Mumble or Skyping with friends, so that only the people who actually care to have an intelligent conversation will go out of their way to do it. Then again, that experience comes from communities smaller than this one, where I have access to rooms that are filled only with the most intelligent of those who bothered... ...yeah, voice chat isn't worth it anyway. I understand this isn't a PvP environment, but no, sorry. I'm not against voice chat in games or anything, but I can't be bothered to deal with it myself. Just personal preference. I can respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skiptis Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I turned it off after the first few times I heard it used because the quality was so garbage. Mind you, I don't mind built in voice chat (although I'd rather not speak when playing with randoms, personal preference) as long as it's done right (sound quality and extensive channel / volume customisation* being the most important things to me) - PS2 had a decent built in voice chat f.e. * like being able to quickly and conveniently mute people in random squads without having to turn everything off. Most large / serious clans / alliances probably have a third party voice chat available anyway? Even if you don't have a dedicated server for it you can always just make a permanent group (group chat? not sure what the correct term is) for it on Skype. I used this in lieu of a website with people I played with in another game and it worked great. I'm assuming that the reason Warframe has voice chat built in at all is because it has to have it for the PS4 players, but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlebbyMilliner Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Because XBox Live ruined in-game VOIP. No one wants to hear that crap. In Warframe, I kind of like the idea of the silent warriors that have no need to communicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent_of_Change Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Teamspeak, Mumble, Vent, Skype, Steam chat, etc... There is no reason to submit yourself to random voices when third party VOIP solutions are so plentiful and you can control access to them.

thedan001 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Ive been deaf since birth (genetics) Im grateful we can type messages to chat otherwise I wouldnt be able to fully enjoy this game Now if only primetime/livestreams were captioned :( (Wrap-up summaries afterwards are a great help) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deidaku Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Voice chat ? hahahaha I prefer the sound of enemy bowels being crushed thank you very much...Much less cringe worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadlyNerd Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Why should I listen to haters, and if I want to talk to my friends while playing I've TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeggyBundy Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 In game quality is HORRIBLE. Plus I'm on teamspeak 90% of the time... don't play with randoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Redwire Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 A lot of it is personal. For instance, I voice chat with clan and alliance mates as often as I can, which isn't very often because my roommate is always around sleeping or studying and our room is tiny so I do my best not to bother him.

-Ex-Gamer- Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 our clan uses teampseak for every game.. ever since i heard some kids trolling i muted them and disable in-game sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quovander Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Whenever I voice chat, people just reply back with text. That's when I start flipping tables. No... ... I just disable the damn thing and setup a skype convo with my friends. EZ PZ P.S, Even when I hear people voice chat, it's usually obnoxious jerks telling everyone what to do... and I'm like, "F%& this guy!" Then proceed to extraction asap.

The in-game voice system isn't that great either which adds to the crappiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disinmas Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 (edited) I mainly don't use it because of the quality, every time anyone tries to communicate over voice chat I have absolutely no idea what they're trying to convey. I tend to just hear static with a few words leaking through, I have a rather high quality mic and I'm sure I'd sound just as atrocious over the built in VoIP. Secondly, if I'm gaming I'm in either a Skype or TS3 speaking to friends and clan mates. I doubt my friends want to hear me asking random Excalibur Player #5 to Radial Blind a room. On top of that, I doubt that Excal wants to hear me make a random joke to my friends because I didn't let up off the push to talk button fast enough.

Shin Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'll tell you why You tell someone "Please stick together so that i can use desecrate more efficiently and we'll get more LS" Then some random kid starts screaming and swearing with a voice like a Devolving velociraptor getting molested by kraken. Thats why its not used that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ensignvidiot Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I use mine all the time. THough i tend to mute the convo if im rolling around in my Cal-Prime. Too much random hate from the kids, and i hear enough about what my mom is doing on CoD. Don't care to hear it on warframe. VoiP seems to be a bit tepremental at the moment. Im hoping once they fix whatever causes the game to be THE BIGGEST BANDWITH HOG I HAVE EVER SEEN they can work on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlakiNuva Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I use it all the time, although I don't always have a lot to talk about. Most of the time, when teammates talk back, I don't actually run into the problems people have been mentioning in this thread. It's really useful, and way more convenient than pausing midgame to type up a text message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
