For The Love of GOD!!!

Please make it possible to squelch Range Voice.  It is WAY WAY WAY overdue.

Most of the time I play I dont even listen to AH.  I have the raido on.  Only to have a Kick Arse tune come on...... Then these Gomers on Range wont STFU.

Please.....

Gomers is right, man... I get sick of the way some of these guys talk on range!

Squelch, please!!

You can squelch individuals but not the channel, and I doubt that will change as its a COMMUNITY game, and the good chatter really adds to immersion.  Hopefully we can get a persistant (or at least semi-persistant squelch so that if I squelch someone, he stays squelched for a week or at least 24 hours even when I log out and in.

Quit using vox a long time ago, (no...I'm not related to Shane). It's one of the biggest pains in the bellybutton of the game. In lieu of of nothing more constuctive than what I've already said....I concur Nomak.

All of my Check Sixes go out on VOX.  Don't get mad when you miss that plane I saw.

Don't worry LS I won't...my 6 belongs to me.

Were someone to ask me, I'd say range vox does more to kill the community than help it. Re: 6 calls - I can do with em. The ones I get are generally because some git wants me to get out of the way so he can hit my target without killshootering himself or they're meant for someone else.
If squelching range vox isn't on, the give us an "squelch the idiot" button so we can squelch them as they come up without having to remember the name, get out of the fight, type it in and then resuming the game.

I use range vox and think it adds to the immersion and game.  I'd go with a .sq dot command abbreviation of the .squelch command.  While it may seem a bit lazy and 'Unix-ish', it would speed up the process.  

I too have encountered two or three 'buds' who go on an on about some useless drivel completely unrelated to the game.  I really apprecitate the 5 second limit on Vox!  Stops that awful (often drunken) singing!!

Having a squelch key that was directional so you could squelch the person who is in a view would be cool!  Kind of like a check six, but squelch instead.  Even better.

Instead of asking HT to re-coad the game why don't we as a community designate a country chat channel, say 100. If all you want to do is talk about your dog, wife (these are interchangable), your car, your sex life or any other drivel that has nothing to do with the game then tune to that channel and anyone who is interested in hearing your mindless drivel can tune to it also.

Then those of use who don't want to hear it can berate these fools for clogging up the range channel.

Here we go again with the people that use it, thinking that the people that don't want it should be stuck with it anyway. Could someone explain why to me?  If I want to squelch range what do you care if I do?  How does it effect you?  IT DOES NOT!

Personally, I would have it on most of the time except when my kids are around or even any other people in the room.  So, it it make syou people feel better, it would be on most of the time.  Now canI have teh ability to turn it off please?

[DaddyAck]

Eh, the range vox doesn't bother me too badly, 'ceptin when me an my guys are talking on our squad channel and in the middle of it I have to listen to "Oh yeah man, last night......"  or the erver annoyin' "Hey man did you......."

"Don't worry LS I won't...my 6 belongs to me."



You are SO  "old school"  





(as for the topic. I hated/loved AH's vox. Loved that we had it and it worked so well. But I hated when it allowed the arena gerbils to fill it with incessant political chatter, whine about being shot down, tourettes inspired outburts of profanity and the never ending drone of Duh_G3n3ralZ spewing "orders" to the annoyance of the other captive-to-vox players near them. It got to be a full time chore manually squelching players. Many were the same people each time I logged)

[Dead Man Flying]

I wouldn't mind the Chatty Kathies on range vox if their talking didn't disable all other sounds.  I rely on sound as a component of my situational awareness, and when you've got guys talking about last week's exciting episode of Little House on the Prairie, it removes the usefulness of that component.

Range Vox is one of the best features in game.

I hate people who are arrogant and dont use vox. Communication is a key part to teamwork. There are soo many players out there who rather use you as bait then communicate that target on your six.

For christ sake tell me where you want me and I will bait for you just let me know he is there.

Though at the same time I hate the other arrogant group who wount shut up on Range Vox. For chatting with firends there is a custom Vox channel. USE IT.

Cluttering Range with BS is equaly useless as players who wount say a word.

Not saying you should be stuck with it. Only looking at this from a coading standpoint. To me this doesn't warrent taking up HT's time when there are better things for them to be doing. Just trying to suggest more workable alternatives.

As far as the potty mouthed pinheads there isn't much that can be done about that. If HT or one of his crew are online and they hear it then they can deal with it as they see fit. I sure don't want to have to have someone on line all the time to be our mommy telling us to watch our language.
