Six calls, SA, Voice chans, and Profanity.

Well known squad for the knights had a guy on day before yesterday. Myself and 5 squaddies defending against a carrier group that was just off the coast. Vehicles coming in..Planes out the whazoo....

Upon his arrival it went like this....

You F'in guys gonna kill that CV or what...thats what I thought..F'in knights..what a joke..F Me..no 6 calls here? WTF you guys blind...You guys suck..F this..Could someone go kill that carrier...Fi'n get this guy off my tail...F'in guiys..dam yall suk..I fi'n had it..Guess I'll have to sink that carrier myself..You F'ers aren't going to do Sh**.......on and on he went til I just logged.
 

I am totally against that  type of language, I  can see where it upset you RedTop. He could have typed or voiced his comments clearly and still left the vulgarity out of it.

If I am ever out of line I expect my squad mates and countrymen alike to call me on it and tell me to chill. I usually will log first before venting that much frustration though.

I also would appreciate the same from all knights, if you see an individual totally snapping and going off the deep end ask them to log and take a break, nicely though.  
If you  see any Damned venting his anger like this, I would like to be informed, you can email me through my profile. It is 1 thing to taunt players over ch200 or  act like a child it is another to show disrespect to your team as in this case the knights,  we have to police ourselves in what we will accept and not accept as a community.


or if you feel obligated, record it by using Alt+R to turn film( films will be located in the films folder with a .ahf   file extension) on then send it to HTC. or even take a picture by using Alt+S pictures are in the main acesHighII folder listed as ahss0.bmp, ahss1.bmp etc..........

This is an old old request. It floors me that it hasn’t been granted as of yet. I was certain that AH2 would have a Range Channel Squelch. I am also inclined to think it was a mere oversight. Recommending us to squelch an individual is indicative that it is or was too late. HTC, please give us some indication as to whether there are any plans to implicate a Rang Voice channel squelch? The reasons are plenty and there have been dozens of threads just like this one.
Thanks

I use TS the same time Im on vox. I use the TS to scream and swear. Sometimes I forget and use the vox button. My squad usually is silent. Followed by a "Sorry bout that" from me.

Naturally I agree that 6 calls are not a "right".  But I've seen this sentiment repeated several times, and I have to wonder where it's coming from.  What's so difficult about helping a stranger?

Speaking personally, I think this attitude and its ramfications are much more important than saying some words that mean "to copulate" and "to defecate".

i just wish we could name the films as we save them instead of having to review them and then figure out a name.  or the ability to delete before they get saved, i.e., giving the option once alt-r is toggled the 2nd time.

ah well, not a high priority, just a little feature wish.

Agreed.
 I Think we should make a heavy push for this.
Trying to look for a specific fight over the course of several hours is a pain.

you're forgetting ch200 is entirely voluntary now.

if you don't like what you see, detune, squlech or go play bunnyluv.

we're talking Vox(voice) not text.

Squad Im in will be getting Ventrilo or Teamspeak soon.

Not meaning to single out anyone, but if the lack of a range VOX solution is to have people abandon  AH's VOX system, doesn't that lead to less "team"ness?  If HTC's reluctance to address range VOX is about team communication, this statement and others in this thread should point out that if not addressed by the maker of the game, the community or at least cocerned community members will address it.

Regarding Mayhem's original post, I fly with a squad that has 2 sub-12 years old on it.  Both fathers have warned their children about this, but to have the first or second word out of a persons mouth be obscene shows either the lack of respect/maturity that this community allows.

For those of you who've advanced the notion that the "community" should help police, my question is how?  A simple reminder over same VOX that it is not appreciated?  Also send a copy of the text buffer and/or film to support@hitechcreations.com?

it also gets in the way of Squad Vox

LET US DISABLE RANGE!!!!!

Or at least have Squad vox get priority over range vox.

I dont want ot squelch it really. just be able to turn it down.

Would also like ot see players develop a bit more etiquette and Not hold general conversations suvch as what you discribe  in a combat area..

Switch to a private channel!

I think there is ingame volume for vox? am i correct...
 

Yes you are but that is a volume control for all vox.
In that manner of speaking yea you can squelch it.
Me myself I dont want to sqelch it entirely I just want to turn range down and be able to turn squad vox up
I'de like seperate volume controls for each.
Or better yet I would rather see squad vox over ride range Vox.

If someone in my squad is yakking too much and Im trying to listen to something on range I can tell my squaddie to shut the hell up a min and have it happen without him taking it too personally and have it turn into a huge  arguement.

I certainly understand that feeling. Using another voice program will not take away AH VOX. However it give you an option to turn the AH VOX off if you like and just use your squad channel that you have separtly.

I don't like the issue really fo turning the AH VOX off. I sometimes get a bit frustrated with a bunch of chatter that doesnt have a place in a fight , however , I have been guilty I would think of the same thing. Not the cussing:(

Maybe have a permanant squaelch list..I don't really know the answer...What I do know is it was NOT called for with Mayhem nor my squad nor ANYONE else for that matter. This game can get frustrating and I for one understand it...But the BAd Mouthing your fellow players..calling em names and cussing em out..Well..Not even close to acceptable to me.

As far as I'm concerned I'll simply squelch him everytime.

I don't think it has anything to do with sheltering our children.  I don't cuss in front of my kids, I shouldn't have to worry about someone else doing it either.  My 9 y/o loved to play AH, unfortunately he is no longer allowed to because of idiots as described by Mayhem, I would love to be able to squelch to he can pay again.

Dred,

I will assume that you mean WMSpin, he lately has been having problems with his vox setup, he needs a new mic setup or something because he either is so low you can't hear him, or so loud it is dang annoying, just throw a note to him if he is range voxing close to you that he is loud again and he will adjust it, or do like the rest of his squadies and squelch him

He is getting way better at his SA cuz his squadies laff about him not getting check 6 calls

He is a good guy and knows he has vox problems, so he won't get upset if ya tell him to lower it

NwBie

Cool. Like I said there was no offence intended.
but man on a couple occasions he almost blew my eardrums out. LOL

Tell ya what though. He sounds clear as a bell.. or Gong whichever the case may be .
I picked up an  Altec Lansing headset at office depot for like $20 Works pretty damn good for the price
and I can control the volume and has 3 settings for the mike "mute,low, and high  right on the wire.(Make sure he gets that one)

disable vox when he plays, don't tune ch200...

there's usually a way.

[Morpheus]

Not to get off topic here.... BUT.

How in the world do you people play with your surround sound on? For those that have it.

I have a 5.1 set up with a sweet sub and all which sounds awsome. But when I turn it on and take off the head phones I can just about concentrate on flying. If that makes sense.

I guess maybe if you get used to if you'll do well. But I just fly better with head phones on.

Saying that, since you don't curse infront of your kids no one else that they ever come across in life will either is just silly.

My point is that your children are going to hear these words sooner or later and there is nothing you can do about it.  

So what?  They heard a curse word.  If you taught them right from wrong and they understand it is wrong to curse then you have nothing to worry about.  Then you could let your 9 y/o play knowing there is a minimal risk that he/she might hear a curse every now and again and know that they understand it is not right, respected or respectful.  It is not the idiots that are keeping your child from playing, it is your sheltering that is keeping them from playing.


If you read my posts you must obviously understand I am against the cursing.
