Toggle range off/on?
« on: March 29, 2012, 02:02:45 PM »
  Has this been added?  I recall seeing something about it on the forums a while back.  Seems that some people like to chat A LOT on range channel.  Sometimes when in a tank, you need to be able to hear the bad guys coming.  I know you can add individuals to your squelch list(how many can be on it?).

Man, I hear ya... a couple of times, one of our squad leaders has asked politely for people to cut the range chatter because it just gets insane...  it is such a relief sometimes to get out of range haha... has to be a nightmare in a GV sometimes.

But, on the other hand, chatting it up with friendlies makes the game... for me, anyway

+ 1 for a toggle. Sometimes range and squad vox gets so cluttered i cant hear myself think.

what about making range one of the vox channels? That way you can only be tuned and communicate through one channel at a time.

Honestly, I wish you could toggle Range off for JUST the GV guys on the ground.  When I am flying a fighter over a GV "fight", the incessant babble of the GV guys gets pretty annoying after awhile.

"I hit him 87 times"
"89"
"90"
"91"

"Supps?"
"Supps anyone?"
"I need supps."
"Can somebody bring me some Supps?"

"Here come the #^%$$^# bomb&^%$!"

"Upper"
"Dead"
"Upper"
"Dead"
"Upper"
"Dead"

It goes on and on and on....

Have a red "R" in a small box or some other static UI icon illuminate in the VOX highlight corner when the mute is toggled on so we know why things are so quiet.
