Gannacus Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 At what point can this be done ? Do you have to be in a guild or is there a setting I am missing to chat while in a group for heroics/flashpoints ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannacus Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Could anybody recommend a good compatible program (thats very easy to use) in order to get in game chat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Could anybody recommend a good compatible program (thats very easy to use) in order to get in game chat ? The Ventrilo client is free and the server software is free for up to 8 users. http://www.ventrilo.com/ The other major software that people use is TeamSpeak Edited January 13, 2012 by Owsley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raani Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Just from my experience, TeamSpeak is pretty horrible. I highly recommend Mumble as an alternative to Vent. Everything is free and the quality seems better than Vent. But since most people use Vent, it's a good idea to have it downloaded in case you're asked to join their server.

draakdorei Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 GSC is what I use personally. http://getgsc.com/ Note: There is no native 64-bit support currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sikandar Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 We use Mumble in our guild and its fantastic. Incredibly low-latency, much more secure with its certificate based authentication, and (at least in our case) very cheap ~$7 for 6 months.

OP, they have pretty much said they won't be adding voice chat to the game. Their stance is that many players already use Vent or Mumble, and they don't want to put resources into doing something that so many people won't even use. In other words, there are already programs dedicated to doing it well, so they won't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugee Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There are two I would recommend to anyone: GSC (mentioned above) and RaidCall http://getgsc.com and http://www.raidcall.com Both are free, and REMOTELY HOSTED. In case you don't understand the significance of that--when you set up any VOIP program, you have to connect to a server with the people you want to talk to. Ventrilo has a limited server for free, and Teamspeak/Mumbl both have free servers. But you still have to have SOMEONE host them, using their bandwidth, or pay a commercial site to host for you. GSC & RaidCall have free, remotely hosted servers. Of the two I like RaidCall more than GSC, but both work great. GSC gives you a 200 person channel (which can be passworded, have subchannels, admins, etc) and RaidCall is free for 50 people. I find the channel administration on RaidCall to be more like Mumbl which is why we like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtzako Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 My guild uses Teamspeak 3 which works fine for our in-build communications but isnt useful at all for groups with non guildies. I'm hoping they will have an integrated voice chat for the game at some point. I LOVE that feature in EQ2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugee Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Tell non-guildies to log into your server. We set up our RaidCall group to allow anyone into the lobby, but only invited members into the subchannels. All members can drag guests into a channel though.
