TW-Cool Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 So, I have been wondering what is everyone's preferred voice chat program? Teamspeak? Vent? Mumble? At first I was against downloading any of them. I have since given in and installed both Teamspeak and Mumble. I still dont have my microphone plugged in, but at least I can hear people explain the boss tactics in new lvl 55 ops that I'm not familiar with. However, one group insisted on having vent for EV HM. I refused to download it and didnt join them obviously. Another person wanted vent for TC HM. I tried to tell them that melee dps (me) have it pretty simple and I've killed him before without voice, but other tank was stubborn and said no anyway. I swear since I gave in and downloaded both TS and Mumble, I find more people using Vent. Ugh. Obviously I could download all 3, but I'm just trying to have less apps installed on my SSD than I need. I will uninstall whichever one you guys say is the least popular haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aries_cz Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I think it does, but not in general discussion. As for what program people use, I think it is up to each person to decide what he likes, or what his guild uses. I prefer TS3, but I ave used Vent in the past (not really thrilled with it in comparison to TS3). I have never used Mumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyfy Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Personally I prefer TS3 if i have to use a third party app,which my guild uses but it would be nice if the game had an in party voice chat like some games have. Such as DDO for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dismayven Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 i have teamspeak, mumble, vent and even skype(cuz some weirdos use it for mmo's lol) because i find every group of people prefer sumthing different. i have 4 55's all in diff guilds and i do use mumble, vent and teamspeak for guild groups. i do agree with other people and wish this game had an in-game VOIP for groups and such. many other games even some that are a couple years older than this game have in-game VOIP. i was disappointed when this game was released and had no VOIP. many other disappointments too tho and in-game VOIP was the least of my worries at release rofl.

Hizoka Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) TS3 is the best one out right now. However most gamers over 25 know the terrible rep TS has before the TS3 makeover, so many won't use it due to how bad it once way. Mumble is the new "hotness" for the people who simply do not know any better. Its lack of features like volume control make it the most annyoing to deal with but it has an overlay that may simple minded people like. Vent is the old standard. There is really nothing wrong with it other then its not been updated in over 7 years. Skype is for internet video sex, its not useful in games unless you are video chatting with a naked chick while gaming which then makes it the best VOIP you can get.

Warrgames Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Vent is what I prefer but I have them all download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuixupu Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I use mostly Vent just because my guild has owned a server for many years going back to other games. Nobody really feels particularly motivated to go look into other programs and get the person who has been paying to sign up to something new and all that. I am intrigued by the TS makeover though, it's true that we used to use the old one ages ago and I really don't know how good the new one is. I have Mumble on hand for groups that use it, but overall I don't really like it all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pubsam Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 When I played WoW it seemed like Vent was the only thing anyone ever used, so for years I only had Vent and was very resistant to DL anything else when ToR came out and I met people using TS and Mumble. But then I realized they take like 2 minutes to get and set up, and there's no point in not having all three. If I WAS going to arbitrarily refuse to get one of them, it would be Mumble though, not Vent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreoff Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I get Trojans and malware every time I download mumble. But mumble is all people ever want to use in my groups. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPryde Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Since the beginning of playing MMOs, I have never heard anyone ask for anything else than TS-data in groups. And never did I hear anything like "we dont use TS, we use (crappy other voice chat)". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul_of_Flames Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have all 3. I prefer TS3, but Mumble isn't too bad either. Vent is god aweful. It makes my game sound cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Mumble. I went from Vent Feb-April 2012, to TS3 May - Sept 2012 started using vent in Oct 2012 and have never looked back:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJurgens Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Huh? My thoughts exactly. @OP, I prefer TeamSpeak 3 out of all. Vent is just downright atrocious because it's so hideous, and it's so far beyond the time we're at now. Mumble has some crappy UI at the beginning, and is sorta confusing with the mess it has. I'll never look back as I have and always will be happy with TS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoobooMagoo Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I personally like TS. I can never get the 'always on' thing to work with Vent and I've never used Mumble. I hate press to talk so that is why I prefer TS. If I could get it to work with Vent then I wouldn't really have an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniz Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I have both ts3 and vent. been using vent for years but ts3 for only the last three. in rift the guilds ts3 server was down so much we actually had a backup server bookmarked. vent was down only once in 8 years. currently my guild uses vent. both have the same quality of sound. I can use both equally at ease. what I found is ts3 is liked by egotistic gms who enjoy muting and moving members in and out of rooms. for that ts is really nice. ( I actually had a gm who enjoyed doing this) perhaps this game will someday have its own voice chat. with a lfd I am surprised players haven't been as vocal about it as they were for getting the lfd in the first place. I guess since wow doesn't have it such a feature is deemed as not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TW-Cool Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Thanks for everyone's replies. It sounds like TeamSpeak wins unless you are a veteran and use vent? Then there is mumble if you are a casual voice chat player? ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
