Priority vox.
« on: April 21, 2014, 06:07:22 AM »
Last night me and a friend where flying in tank town. A LA7 dove in on him and I told him to break off the p38, however because there where so many people on range vox talking about, well who knows what, he didn't get my transmission on channel vox until about 5 seconds AFTER he was in the tower.

Please make it so vox channel will interrupt the range vox buffer or at the very least have the ability to mute or detune from range vox.

Although not perfect,  it is a good wish.

The downside of course is a GV might be giving a check 6 to a plane but is cutoff by a plane to plane vox.

I like the GV guys but sometimes their chatter is over whelming.

I agree.
 
Perhaps separate channels would solve the issue.

Realistically, (in a perfect world) it'd be nice if folks could just keep range clean unless communicating proper objectives...  However since that won't ever happen, and I myself am guilty of chatting like a magpie on vox and range..  I'm in favor of some sort of priority system.

channel vox should have been given priority since the very beginning.  :aok

I've never tried but being able to de-tune range would be awesome in this and the other thread, problem solved!

A free workaround is C3.  It doesn't have all the refinements of Teamspeak, but for $0 you can't really complain.  Pretty light on resources too.

Giving it priority is likely the only option that might happen.

HTC won't do that due to the potential negative impact on new player's experience.  Talking, but not getting a response because the intended recipient(s) have detuned range vox.

I could be wrong, but that is how I think they'd see it.

C3 is good for being Free G3-MF used it for over a Year and then we went to ventrilo. there is somtimes up to 15-20 sec of lag in vox ingame and by then your dead i would get a outside the game vox to solve this  :salute

I like these ideas! +1  :aok

VOX should ALWAYS take priority over range. It'd be neat to see the separate range channels as well (land range, air range, all range). If you're trying to coordinate something with someone who isn't in your squad or on VOX and people are taking up range with chatter, switch over to land or air range where it's quieter.

Every game Ive ever tried that has relied on 3rd party comm apps has "always" had lousy comms. Bad enough to entirely ruin the experience. In my opinion the in game comms of AH is one of its biggest draws and any move to draw players to 3rd party comms would diminish the game.

My squad, and many others, use a 3rd party comms such as TeamSpeak and/or Ventrilo and the comms on them are excellent. However, you pay for what you get.
