Fire team chat, people seem to avoid it like the plague despite the constant who ring and moaning on the forums until it came out. As a simple question wtf is up with that??
-
Its something that should of been in at the beginning, then people realised that dedicated fireteams were better off with PNS party chat as it was a lot better. And nobody wants to talk to randoms, so its a waste of time.
-
I thought you were talking about the last word.
-
Not that bothered about chat in PvP but why you no give us chat in the Tower Bungie :(
-
I noticed it's only ever one guy who enters the chat... while I'd be happy enough to chat and try and team up I'm not very good and don't have the maps down so my callouts would be interesting at the very least... all things considered I figured it's best I just try to learn at my own pace :/
-
I use the fireteam chat all the time, mainly due to the bug where Xbox party chat lags the game though......
-
What I find interesting is that the only places this would have been useful already had a fire team chat function in place. I can only speak from Xbox One experience, but if you leave party chat and have a mic plugged in then you can communicate with your fire team via game chat functionality. It was always there. I used it on multiple occasions prior to the patch due to Xbox's party system being garbage on the new OS... Adding the ability to just talk in general in Patrols and Tower is great, but unless you are building a team for something I don't think it will be terribly useful.

I never wanted the chat. Now that it is implemented I will still refuse to use it. Games like COD and BF4 ruined in-game chat for me. I don't want to listen to idiots playing loud music in the background I don't want to hear people using gay azz ebonics and saying "nig" this or "nig" that I don't want to hear people talking crap about each others moms I don't want to hear all the kids in the background crying This list can continue. Point is, too much bullcrap on the other mics. I will stick to my friends only chat.
-
Ok so. I don't use it on my PS3 because I'm pretty sure my nat messes it up for me. However on my ps4 my nat allows me to use it and I do, have met some interesting folks.
-
I party chat with the people I play with regularly. I'd rather not chat with randoms.
-
To illustrate the point that these boards make up a very small percentage of the destiny playerbase.
-
*err* maybe because you dont get the point of it.. people actually never asked for voicechat in STRIKES... they asked for "voicechat" TO be able to talk to each other in order TO form teams.. another of Bungies famous jinx.. noone asked explicit for voicechat in Strikes , this would have only been a nice "addon".. but EVERYONE asked for TOWERCHAT instead in order to form Raid teams.. .. or to add some tiny litle bit of social feeling into the antisocial, social area. in Destiny..
-
I wanted it for patrol also. Like 98% of the reason why I wanted it was for patrol.
-
It never turned on for me. Also it shouldnt be something you should have to turn on, it should be automatic. You should only have to turn it off or mute other players
-
I haven't played pvp since it launched but here are my reasons - a very small percentage of the community is on the forums so generally speaking most people didn't ask for it - it wasn't in there at launch so a lot of people probably just stopped caring about it - even though it's well intentioned I don't feel most people know how to turn it on - I'm married with a kid and that means my kid is either yelling in the background or asleep while I play. If I want to chat I do it intentionally during raids - I get enough random invites when I'm in the tower I don't want to actually hear people asking me HARD RAIDS?!!?/NIGHTFALL?!!? - I honestly don't want to her people (mostly kids) yelling every time they die or their constant commentary That being said I would only really use it in strikes but those are so easy I don't really need to communicate. If they added harder strikers (26, 28, 30) I would be forced to start using it.
-
Ppl have gotten use to the silence. Besides, the game was practically built around non communication, minus the Raid.
-
I kept trying to turn it on, but it never seemed to work for me. I was definitely doing something wrong.
-
Edited by BUDDY-VA: 11/25/2014 2:34:27 PMi have it turn on automatically by default. I've only heard one person call out enemies. My guess is a lot of people are not aware of it.
-
My mic has a pretty short battery so I just wait and see if anyone else has a mic. But I think 90% of it is because this game started as antisocial so what's the point of putting your mic in?
-
I agree. I activate it nearly every match that it's available and I've never spoken to anyone yet. Kinda.. depressing? Annoying? I don't know what the word is, but I don't like it.
-
Most of us never asked for it. TBH, you are nothing more to me than a resource that's required to complete content. You don't see me starting a conversation with spinmetal do you?
-
"Most of us never asked for it. " ^ This
-
Yea I get ya. Dnt bitch bout wanting stuff. Then never use it. If bungie listen to us an add it to the game. That's brilliant. But dnt then just go ooh! I myself dnt have a Mike. But I never was interested in team chat. I think actions speak louder than words. But if bungie actually give something to make this half Arsed game seem a little more spark use it.
-
I join it, although I'll generally mute myself first because I'm sure no one wants to hear my bitching when I die. It's a lonely place to be.
-
After almost 3 months of playing without it people have gotten used to playing in silence.
-
I never really needed it, fireteam chat works okay but I can never hear what's going on over firefights anyway. Without adjustable audio options, the voice chat is useless during activities anyway. I do think it's funny how people put the voicechat on but don't use it though. Say something if you're gonna use it. The only time I want to use it is to tell my team that they suck.. The only people on here crying about it complained about everything. In Deej's post about the voice chat, it sounded like he knew people wouldn't use it. That's why they didn't put it in in the first place. Plus I only started to get error messages after they implemented it. It's done more harm than good.

I have to wonder now if all the people whining for it already quit, they got what they wanted no more reason for them to stick around.
