Now I usually don't whine but...wait that first sentence is worth 5 points!
No really........I have had a couple of recent experiences with foul language being used on the "room" voice channel. Some of us like flying without headphones on, and don't appreciate this crap being broadcast into our livingrooms.......even if your kill was stolen! :cool:
-
Learn french ;)
Seriously, I seldom hear *** language on Voice channel (apart from the Squad channel, that is...). Most of it is still on txt channel one.

Is there a way to squelch everybody on room voice channel? Seems to be 50% unitelligible guys with porked mics, 25% Lil' Napoleons and 25% foul mouthed tards.

what? no slurring drunks? geez, what channel are you guys on?
-
I have to agree with Saw here. 97% or so room channel voice comms I have heard are useful and professional.
The other 3% are prepubescent and describe every mundane detail of their flight and thout process. No cussing though.
Might be different for the Bish and Rooks.

HT want's you to experience AH in the raw...he stated there was to be no area or room squelch...I have stopped using my speakers because of the few a-holes that equate penile length with foul language. Untill a permanent squelch list is here we'll just have to put up with it :rolleyes:
-
I strongly agree that we need some way to squelch the room channel.

I shouldn't but my dogs have started singing with you :D

This area and tower bull**** is just that. I don't want some dweeb's foul comments being broadcast all through my den and where my son is just because someone can't control their language. As far as I am concerned this is FAR worse than the text buffer. At least there you could squelch someone and it never went beyond the screen anyhow. Now with the speakers and unsquelchable vox you are FORCED to put up with this crap until you can fly away from thefield.
HT there was no reason to add tower and area proximity to the coms. If they want help they can type it on the buffer like before, I just don't need someones foul comments or just blocking tactical coms during a fight close to the field.
Please drop the area coms.
-
Maverick, I agree and disagree. The area com I can definitely see the need for, and have heard it used to good effect to coordinate field attacks, especially with new people arriving over the field. But you're right about the room voice com. Never have been able to figure out what the hell that is for.
-
I've enjoyed the range channel so far... too bad you often have some bonehead potty mouths within range. I don't think I've heard one yet.
I **should think** that a simple on/off switch would be fairly easy for a supergenius programmer like HiTech to implement. Perhaps channel 0 (zero) on any radio could turn that radio off... or set volume to zero, or something.

Do you not read??? Read MrLar's post right above yours
.vsquelch [id]
and it works too. There's a couple folks I vsquelch as soon as I hear thier voice on range.
As Billy Engvall would say.... "Here's your sign"

I rarely hear any foul language on Range and Room. Get some head phones. GEEEZ
This whole Thread qualifies for Whine of the Month.

F*ck all of u....I happen to like profanity!
JUST KIDDING! SHEESE!
-
i haven't heard such languages on bish voice .. exept maybe a f... shortky before someone bangs on the water or so. but more less it works on a clean way.

I agree with airmess, I really haven't had any problems with this on Bish radio. One thing I did notice is that when you .squelch someone, they get voice squelched too. Very useful for the ones who think everyone needs a play by play of how close their troops are to the maproom.
-
Seems some people haven't heard AH's finest :D
How 'bout this...
Use the film editor and send in short clips of offensive language to HTC. If there's enough of them maybe there will be changes made. Warnings from HTC staff could then be justified and possibly other actions taken.
For those that think hearing foul language is a stupid whine...would you be comfortable letting your mother hear some of the crap in AHV? Restrictiong people to using headphones shouldn't be the only solution, my mum agrees :D
-
Why should I have to go to the expense and trouble to get head phones just because some dipstick can't control his / her mouth?!?!?!?!?
Area and field coms should be an option not a mandatory thing. If a field defense is needed tune the darn radio. This should have been an option only feature in the game.
-
Haven't had a problem with the Range channel, other than some people talking too much. I think we should be able to squelch it though -- for the sensitive types. :)
-
If you are having a problem with an individual, record it. AH Films now record all voice comms too. Then e-mail it to HTC.

1. I agree with the bad language lobby but I have to admit I've let it slip on occasions but hopefully never too bad. Usually gets me at least a verbal slap from the wife if she's in the room :)
2. It seems there is a .vsquelch command so that helps.
3. Its there, its like crap junk mail (ok if I say crap?), and headphones/boom mike cost from £4 ( $6) here in the UK and they carry a big bonus.... the immersion is much much higher.
4. There are probably better things for HT to do with his programming time although that idea of setting a channel to 0 to turn it off sounds ok - but of course Range radio doesn't have a radio channel nor, I think, a disable command.
Bottom line? I put on the cheapo headset and try to watch my mouth.

PS yes, I know I get gabby :)

Haven’t had any problems with bad language just the occasional General.
I still can’t believe we’re not going to get the option to turn this off completely. It doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to code but what do I know about it.
If we can’t turn it off, can we get a permanent squelch list?

Try a headset?

That's a band aid...not a solution.
Why have to give up a nice suround sound system just because of some peoples immaturity?

Who wants to listen to those idiots anyway. They range from annoying to downright offensive with no real plus to any of em. If I wanted to hear em I would invite em into the squad. With RW you could give out the number or not. Mostly people.... did not. Now we are one big happy family??

I haven't had any problem with profanity on area channel yet. Matter of fact, all the interaction on area channel thus far has been positive except for one case where some kid kept blabbing about what plane he liked to fly. I just suggested on voice comms that he quit yapping so much and he quit, no big deal.
