Thank christ.

Voip improves gameplay and a sense of community. It's been a staple in online games for over 10 years, there's no reason not to have it.

Now there is no reason to separate any of the queues.

As a player who plays 100% of his matches as a PUG I concur.

And you, sir, are a prime example of someone who should stick to single player games.

Seriously, this it the last part they are doing before adding it, and why it's coming in Feb not right now - you can turn it off, or mute specific people.

Of course.


I absolutely get not wanting it, but you really can't deny it's a very necessary feature for this sort of game, whether you personally want to use it or not.

I want to turn it off because our house has a teamspeak, also I am hoping turning it off will prevent any extra resources being used by my computer.

I really can't see how in game VOIP would use any noticeable amount of your system resources, unless they do something horribly, horribly wrong.

Am I angry about developer resources being wasted so that a bunch of self-entitled Patton wannabes can shout their four-pronged reverse pincer double-flank enfilade attack in my earholes? Am I angry about developer resources being wasted so that ten year olds on a Fruity Pebbles sugar high can practice their new three-cuss vocabulary on me because I didn't protect them when they charged their Mist Lynx into the midst of three Dire Whales and a Streakcrow in the caldera on Caustic? Am I angry that developer resources are being wasted on giving screaming rage-hards a direct line into my ear so they can all tell me how horrible a player I am for not carrying the team 12-2 by myself after they got themselves wrecked?

Yeah. A little bit. I've instamuted in-game voice communications in every single game that lets me since I started playing online games, and any game that doesn't let me, I swiftly stop playing. Face the fact here, Li'l Old One - if one in five hundred of of the jabbering morons in this forum is actually worth listening to, the ratio is still ten times higher than I would expect it to be.

Yep. I said it, and I'll say it again any time I need to - none of you have a single g'damn thing to say that's worth hearing, outside of a list of maybe twenty guys on this forum actually deserving of respect.

If you think so lowly of any game's community, why are you playing PvP games to begin with?
