Posted December 18, 2016 Back in the day we had proximity voice comms. Some people hated it, some people loved it. As I understand it the system was a bit wonky and so it was removed. That was about 6 years ago. Would be cool to see it resurrected and brought back even better than before. Perhaps make a way to mute specific players the same way we /ignore their chat messages. Just an idea. What do YOU think? 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2016 I think it would be cool to have again. +1 to vote to reinstall it. Ratheden/Perodin 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2016 +1 definitely among nice features to have in large MMO's, integrated voice comms helps remove the need for players to have background programs running. Of course it'd be so much cooler if Teams, Alliance, Village, Kingdom, etc, along with Proximity each had their own channels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 18, 2016 Itd be cool, but, lets not charge fees to use it this time and make sure it gets properly tested. The old system was pretty cheap and caused a lot of crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 20, 2016 I like this idea of this. However, I'm going to have to set up Stereo Mix so I can blast some high quality Rick Astley. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2016 I linked a couple devs to this thread. Hopefully they'll give it a look and a response. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 20, 2016 Just use the discord channel. I was going to set one up a while back but I was trying to do something more official with devs and gms involved. Lack of time to fully commit but now someone else has put up a public discord chat and can be used in the same way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't be proximity chat but it has all different server rooms so can be a server voice. Its not 100% the same but it will get the same thing accomplished without the devs having to put it in. From what I recall it didn't work as great as it could have back then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know how many years ago that was? Things with this game hardly ever remain stagnant. I believe in their capabilities. It would be a great feature--even better than before!
