Mumble options not listed in L4gi's poll

SneekyShadow · 03-06-2010, 08:18 PM

So here are some options as far as Mumble and Voip go.

If we turn off Voip it will decrease the number of non-Mumblers on the server, however Squad chat is no more and you then need to be close or type more often.

I really want to know what you guys think as I don't really know of any server that has No VOIP and is Mumble only.

VOIP is absolutely essential for squad cohesion and teamwork within your squad. It is also essential for direct SL -> CO comms. Turning it off would be the biggest mistake a server could possibly make and would serve absolutely zero purpose.

Why would you decrease the communications options that are available? Mumble is about increasing communication options, not pushing away those who choose not to use it. Doing so would do nothing to help your new server. Instead put your efforts into teaching those who do not have it about the benefits of using mumble.

Also, FYI the reason you don't know of any other servers that do it is because it does not work.

I totally agree with Jigsaw. Disabling in-game VOIP is not the way to go, however much I love Mumble.
There is still a need for CO-SL comms, and a radio channel for the squad. Like Jigsaw says, Mumble is simply an extension of the in-game radio. It should not be used universally.
I love the way it is on PMC so far, with the two channel Mumble system. Keep that for some time and then decide what you want to do, is my advice. As for me, I'd be the first person to leave if you turn VOIP off.

VoIP OFF Mumble One Channel

But ONLY in case there is a whispering option in mumble, otherwise with VoIP ON.

So for now, with on, when possibility, off...

IMO: Two channel is lame.

If the server is a mumble server, and people aren't using it... they should be booted.

Kirra · 03-07-2010, 02:51 AM

One channel IMO.

I've played without VOIP with mumble on

it is very very hard, and I don't think it would work with pubbers who you constantly have to shepherd.

but it is alot of fun

It would work if we simulated squad voip in mumble

Dev1200 · 03-07-2010, 06:05 AM

I voted one channel /w voip, but meant two.

If you had one channel, other people on the other team could hear you.. and that would be lamesause.

Brummy · 03-07-2010, 07:18 AM

I don't see how people think one channel is more realistic? Really, being able to hear all enemies in a 70m is realistic now?

Anyway, it'd be awesome if we could have squad channels in mumble, where you could force centre. However it'd take lots of hassle ingame to switch channels, etc.
