You mind explaining how it works? Or is it just like most Xbox games where you plug in and chat?
At the moment you currently have to turn on the 'chat' to be able to talk to everyone. Once that is turn on it's just talk and hear from there. I believe they will eventually setup a way to push and talk to avoid everyone talking at once? Not sure; however, it seems to be working pretty good. Was at a bigger arkfall and could easily understand everyone.
Nice, will check it out. How do you turn voice chat on? Guess I'll figure it out.
and yet xbl party chat is still betterQuote:

Okay so go do an arkfall or go do something random find a random guy while your fighting enemies and stop to proceed to add him as a friend to invite him to a party.Quote:

This can solve that simple answer by saying it out. Most people in their mind won't take the type to open the text box if they don't have a USB keyboard or chat pad hooked up to even bother assisting people to try to get them to listen.Quote:

i usually hit the enter on the xbox chat pad type stop killing the baby hell bugs or focus on the monarch and hit enter agian
the only useful person i found on these forums was dark fallen and now he mad at the game cause the update, everyone else cried way to much, or there friends were idiots
I thought a even quicker way is to push D-pad down and on the bottom right hand of your screen is the chat channels you can cycle?
That is indeed quicker; however, it will not turn on your chat as your chat is currently disabled within the game.Quote:

And if so are all 3 of these voice chat channels functioning properly? Suddenly after hearing this I'm really excited to get home and test all this out as this has been a huge issue with coordinating my friends and I in groups.
Yes, you are able to cycle down by pressing down on the dpad. I like being able to group up but also being able to still hear other people in the area which is cool.Quote:

At the moment with the current update text chat appears down. You can view the chat in full size but won't see what anyone types unless you're viewing it full size.Quote:

Yes to all the above.Quote:
