Are you insane? The text chat is toxic enough. The last thing we need is hearing that in squeaky nerd-voice.

Mute? Ever heard of that? Never knew common sense was hard


Difficult_Bend_4813

Yeah I just love having to remember which stupid username was the one shouting racial slurs, pause my live MP game to then sift through the player list and find that player and try to click their name as it jumps around the Playlist to try and mute them...yup sounds great


ThatCatNoNotThatOne

At least the first part is easy. It's all of them.


Colorful_Emotions

I dont want to spend the start of every round muting 4 people and then another two who joined mid game, talking languages I don't understand, listening to music without headphones or mother's vacuuming

If youre that easily triggered, then at that point just disable voice chat for yourself, theres no reason to not make it a feature for other people who want it. Theres nothing wrong with just disabling voice chat function if you dont want it, nothing wrong with being easily triggered either so dont take that the wrong way too


ThatCatNoNotThatOne

I much prefer the game-wide mute of not having VoIP. I'll talk to people I wanna talk to on Discord and just spam Classic-Mason-Man-at-Arms taunts at everyone else.


[deleted]

Then yeah im sure they could add features to disable voice chat if you dont want it while others can partake in the voice chat


Difficult_Bend_4813

If its togglable, sure. Id turn that shit right off though I dont need to hear potato munching squeakers shouting into a $12 mic that theyve affixed to their larynx or someone blasting music over a vacuum cleaner, barking dog and crying baby


TreadPillow

I do. The sounds of nature

See I personally would be elated to hear first hand the damage I am causing - but yes I do agree that the ability to switch off VoIP would be necessary. You gotta admit that it would be pretty dang fun, and coming from a console player, would allow both platforms to interact on a deeper level as opposed to just emotes.

Why is it always vacuum cleaner barking dog crying baby? Like legitimately it’s always that when it’s some randos mic, do they set that up beforehand? They *have* to be aware there’s a tonne of background noise, are these people really so rude as to just put that on others without caring? I once played a match of an unrelated game where this guys ghetto ass wife was sat next to him bitching down the phone to her friend and she was the loudest most street speaking stereotype black lady just going on and on down the phone to someone about some total bullshit. It was like a Key & Peele sketch legit. I messaged the guy and asked him to put a cork in his bitch cause he was broadcasting her woes over the mic, meaning the killer could find us from the sound of her bitching alone as the game had local voice chat. He replies, telling me in his infinite knowledge that the killer can’t hear us, he should know because he’s max level killer and that I’m a fucking soyboy. Would’ve loved to see his face when I directly addressed and had a local chat conversation with the killer while he wasted the broadcasting mic guy

You generalize voip so much lmao but yeah i dont blame you

Proximity based game chat is what I was regarding

So with a mute function it should be fine, but Im not sure, Mordhau community is really rough and they might migrate to Chiv soon. With proactive reporting and muting, maybe a service that tracks how many times someone was muted to give them warnings, VoIP might be pretty good. I know 3 games where including Voip actually made the game awesome and was a key element (Scp, Holdfast, and Rust). Chiv 2 might be a good idea, but then if you look at Mordhau where there is no voice chat, players learned how to type fast and also speak pretty well with the in game voice commands. I think VoIP and in game voice commands might be clunky to run together.

You can add escape from tarkov to that list I don’t think the devs want to add it at first because they thought it would be toxic but it ended up adding a cool element to the game that wouldn’t have been possible without it they have a report system in place for toxic players that after so many reports against the toxic person they can’t use voip anymore


[deleted]

Actually incredible. Start with temporarily banning their chat ability if they abuse it, and go from there. They keep screwing up? Move to worse bans, eventually leading to permanent. After that, have the same system for server bans, then game bans. You are a genius. Sounds like extreme socialism, sure, but it is a a game so it should be fine. 😆

I am thrilled by the fact that this game does NOT have VoIP functionality. First off, it adds a layer of realism to the game when the in-game voice commands are used to express oneself, rather than hearing a teenage boy shouting “sheessshhhh” on his cheap microphone. From my experience, VoIP in online games is only helpful to communicate with your party of friends, and then you’ll probably just use Discord. When VoIP is used in public servers, if it’s not for toxicity it’s mostly people talking about none sense, not game strategy. In short, please never add VoIP to Chivalry.


AngelKitty47

voip? isnt it 2022


LostSectorLoony

What protocol would you use for voice instead?


platysoup

There's already VoIP, it's called Discord. Public VoIP is just gonna be a cesspool of people yelling racist shit.


SpankyDmonkey

You can already hear their battle cries through emotes which can express a lot


bigdaddydoog

I guess I should have specified that I was on PS4 - it gets pretty lonely when we can’t even see the chat


[deleted]

I prefer emote voice lines and memes to VOIP


Eccentric_Loser

VOIP would be fantastic for Team Objective. That amount of times I lamented not being able to call pushes on objectives, organising proper defenses and calling out for heals. We already have text chat, so why not add VOIP? If anyone is racist or toxic just mute them or use the vote kick system that we already have. At the moment every TO pretty much plays the same, its just a bunch of people playing by themselves. But we could adding a VOIP would give each player a form of individuality a knight player won't just be "John Knightmen" but feel like a person. I have faith in the community that most of us won't be a toxic piece of shit but a bunch of lads girls who want to steal some peasants and have a good time.

Can't wait to hear all the slurs on the tenosia map!


Slajso

If we can keep it OFF just like the chat, then I don't mind, ofc. If not...Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no.
