So much for voice chat!

[thejx4]

That'd be funny as hell.

Ark Hunter: HOLD OFF THE MUTANTS WHILE I GET THIS FIRE GOING!!

Ark Hunter 2: HURRY THE HELL UP! REMEMBER IT'S BLUE SMOKE! WHITE SMOKE! WHITE SMOKE! THEN BLUE SMOKE!! FOR A SOS!!

This would add some much needed (actual) humor to the game

Voice chat worked fine for me. Running a wireless mic. didnt have any issues

Look, simply put, yes the voice chat as it is programmed, sucks. But give the dev team a chance before you go off ranting. The game has been out one day. Sure there was a beta, and they tested it out there, but I believe the dev teams actually applied there time and lessons from the beta well, polishing things and fixing glitches and bugs that actually affected gameplay. Unfortunately, VOIP is not one of those things that has a large impact on the gameplay. Theres enough onscreen content that if your in a group, you can keep an eye on your other members without much problem. Give them time, it'll get worked out, there are much larger issues in the game that need attention right now. And besides, how many of you ranting actually know how many hours of work it takes to fix something that seems so easy to you? It could potentially take the rewriting of thousands of lines of code, not to mention testing it to see if it adversly effects other areas of the game. So just have a little patience. At least you can play. And if your that tight up to communicate, theres always the virtual keyboard.

Why use a virtual keyboard when you can plug a usb one into the ps3/360 and use it?

group and clan chat works for me perfectly

[Reaper3179]

Good point with the USB keyboard. But honestly, those of you whining about voice chat, your online friends probably don't really wanna hear you anyway, just a thought.

they didn't even clear up the voice chat with the patch that happened 5 hours ago, it still really terrible they could do better I rate it 3/10 for voice chat quality. You hardly can get a group together without someone's voice chat not working. I don't know what's worse broken voice chat, or unable to connect to servers. Does Trion even test their games or even read their player input? Its not good when dervs lie because they only sell you dreams and give you broken promises.

It's also not good when people ***** bout everything.

That's a little one-sided. Majority of us knew that the game would have some issues that they have to iron out on launch. And judging by your sig you absolutely despise gamers that complain about the voice chat. That's fine. I'm one of them.

In my experience, when a game has a bug that needs to be fixed and it happens to me while playing with friends one of 2 things happens:

*We all just sit there laughing and joking about it happening
*One of us know a workaround to fixing
*We try to figure out why said bug is happening

So without the mics that wouldn't happen. Being able to discuss things with others in real time makes it "easier to swallow". But it's not like we could get on right now anyway. This isn't to bash you or anything just giving a point of view from one of the more patient "fix the VOIP" gamers...

Despite how I act I'm not completely against having the voice chat in the game. I don't want Trion to get it working first before the game is stablized that is what my issue is. Everybody wants the voice chat working NOW!! FORGET THE GAME WE WANT VOICE! Well whats the point of Voice chat if you don't have the game to play it on?
