So much for voice chat!

[Elsa]

... the problem is that a lot of people like myself are haunting the forums waiting for an announcement that voice chat has been fixed BEFORE purchasing the game. Others have bought the game but still have it wrapped and sitting with the receipt ready to return it if voice chat isn't working. The devs need to address this directly and let us know if voice chat is being worked on or if this is it... that we're going to have a crappy, barely functional form of voice chat on the PS3 and there' s nothing they can do about it.
... at least then we can make a decision as to whether the game is worth it for single player campaign alone... because the multiplayer portions of the game will very quickly die without proper voice chat and will be used only by very small groups that use skype or some other form of voice chat for the game.

Personally if I don't see an announcement fairly soon regarding voice chat being fixed and working properly, I'll move on and go buy Bioshock instead. I'll wait till this game hits the bargain bin and then pick up a copy six months down the road for the single player portion of the game at a greatly reduced price.

It's not unreasonable to expect a $60.00 game to work properly (particularly voice chat in an MMO). This fix should have been their number 1 priority.

Chat and VOIP – This isn’t broken, we just believe people should use their psychic abilities more. Can you hear what I’m saying to you right now? Yes, exactly. We’re working on it.

Just saying...


Oh, and it's the first topic in General Discussion.

They lied to us they said it was working on final build PURE BS

Give it time there's no such thing as a perfect game on launch

You don't give VOIP time it is a core feature and they said it was fixed already TIME IS UP!

Maybe it's because I'm not big on voice chat to begin with, but I'm quite content with using the keyboard.
There is an email sent out to all members of the forum as well as the sticky that addresses the issue of voice chat. I'm sure it'll be up and working 100% in no time. DCUO has been around ofr a long while, this is Defiance's launch, and trion's first game on consoles. Give it time.

I won't buy easy enough..... When it did not work in beta I knew it would not work at launch.
Again you don't give core features time they had 3 or more betas if it does not work you don't put it out.
Again They lied they said it was already fixed.

The beta that was on the consoles was an older code. If you're judging by that, don't. It was basically just to see if it could even run on console effectively.

And from what I heard it was fixed, at one time. That's the thing with MMOs, they constantly need tweaking. You fix one problem in the game and a million sprout up after it. I'm sure within the next day, voice chat will be remedied.
