What are your thoughts on mumble

Maybe hide all advanced options.

It's only 0.5 but ease of use is really important point when getting more mumble users that are not best with computers.

Agree. It should be much more user friendly. Some common key bindings should be set by default and program should request administrator rights on startup.

But the thing I'm wondering most is if Mumble knows your location in the game world then why it doesn't know the server your are playing on, the team you are on and your position in the squad? Asking user to choose the server, team and SL channel is something that shouldn't happen at all. It should be fully automatic.

Because it only takes the map coordinates atm, for example you can be on a server your mate on another one both playing muttrah and even if he isnt on your server in PR but the same map, but in the same channel in mumble you will hear him like he was behind you

What zimmer says is true, i think ive meet "invicible" enemies more than one time, And i go "HEY ARE YOU MEC?"

5. Player doesn't want to use Mumble since the enemy can hear him. It happens since we configured the mumble channels to have only one channel for both teams. It's a little annoying consequence even though realistic to some degree. Setting two separated channels is possible, but then you have the annoyance of moving to the right channel and everything. We are checking if we can setup a script that does that automatically. Also it's the same issue with TS, as people can just join the wrong channel the same way and hear the enemy plans.

well yeah, we've lived with teh limitations of TS for a long time, and we've all just learned to live with it, doesn't change all the points I stated above at all, in fact I did state that Mumble shares limitations with TS.

would be awesome to get a web interface for mumble, then we can use the xfire ingame browser to change our channels.

This was back when mumble was first being used

annoying, confusing, often actually reduces immersion (due to all the crap spoken on it), clever, once in a blue moon really useful, popular, open to abuse, fun, horrible interface.

There is nothing more confusing than being squad leader, having in-game voip (squad & commander), TS & mumble on at the same time.

nope, nope, disagree, yup, nope, not popular enough, yup, yup , no opinion on that.

squad leaders should be good at multitasking, it can get hectic sometimes but you get use to it. as a squad leader, i wont play unless there is other squad leaders on mumble, its not worth the time.

Why would you need TS? There are SL channels you know.

Tartan, TS is still good for intra clan sociability

though when and if we get Whispers in Mumble (featured in mumble vanilla 1.2) TS will finally not be needed at all.
