Entropy Virus HiveMind Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 64	Posted - 2012.10.20 23:02:00 - [1] - Quote I was playing recently, and I thought to myself: Hey, if I want to talk to that guy RIGHT BESIDE ME To get into the gun turret, or to hop out for my buddy....I have to hope he has team chat turned on? We need to take a step back when we shoot down an idea, that we are not just taking a side and defending it, that we are actually thinking about what we are defending. The notion that proxy chat is a 'kiddie' or non essential to a realistic and tactical shooter, has not ever been a team player in a FPS. Proxy chat is almost as basic of a feature for realism as is having sprint sway, ADS, reloading, and gravity. PERIOD. Communicating with your immediate surroundings is not just about having fun (though why anyone would not want a FUN feature in a game...) as it is having LOGICAL communication, between people who are.... within speaking distance. Knowing a tank is on its way to an objective while the 2 squads of run and gunners beside me run towards it is one of the most FRUSTRATING things, when having proxy chat, just shouting out "There's a Tank over there!" would save 2 squads lives, the objective, and in a lot of cases... THE GAME... THE ISK. THE PLANET. If the game ships without proxy chat, I will be massively disappointed.its like taking aim down the sights out of a FPS. We lived fine before it, but once we have played tactical shooters with proxy, opting out of that feels like a regression, not a progression of the genre. I will live with it, but EVERY SINGLE GAME that I would completely change how an encounter goes down, if only I'd have proxy chat, is going to make me want another post like this.

You only hear a guy when you're close to him. Once you leave him, that's it. If you guys have ever played with proxy chat then you would know how beneficial it is and how much more enjoyable the game becomes. For instance, you can warn or be warned of an enemy that's behind you. Or, you can tell the bluedot to help hack or cover you while you hack or vice versa. I mean, proxy chat is invaluable. At the same time, you can talk to an enemy.....making the game fun if they're raging to you

Based on some of the comments I've seen, between this thread and another one... I don't think some ppl understand what proxy chat is.

Crimson Moon V Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 184	Posted - 2012.10.21 02:11:00 - [15] - Quote Proxy is essential for corp battles. Communication is key people. Annoying randoms can be avoided by joining a corp. Seriously are we that unsocial that we don't want to talk to people in a video game. You are already isolated into this fabricated universe. I never thought I would see the day people are hating on proxy chat. Now I have seen it all on these forums. The casuals on these forums will cry about anything. What's the real reason you guys don't want proxy? I have a feeling some people don't want to get their feelings hurt when they get wrecked.

There was a post from a developer at some point saying how they wanted it in. Did they decide to take it out. Or is it just not ready yet. I am pretty sure it will be back soon

And that's the plan for eve's WiS, so they already know how to do it. Think about it, sure you could turn it down in the settings, but people talking is just another sound in the game environment. Dust could be the the 1st to take it to the next level. Now some people say the downside is you can't censor people and harassment can occur. But this is the same with current voice chat. Plus if someone is following you around trying to order a burger because they think it's funny, there can just be a simple aim and block player mechanic. I believe the level of immersion that this would add would be mindblowing. Let me give you an example. You are a new player. You are going around playing this new fps. Now most mmos you can type while playing and make friends right? a lot harder in an fps. So follow me for a second, please I promise you won't be disappointed. So you join a match. It drops you in a game with other players into the lobby, and you can hear the other players. People are walking around and talking to each other on comms. Now they can hear each other anywhere they walk because they are in a squad. they have mics built into the dropsuits. But when you walk up to the 4 and say hi, your naturally introduced into the squads voice chat. While you stand near by you can take part in their conversation. If they don't like you they can block you or walk away. Now the game starts. And you're learning how to play. Now again in a standard mmo you can chat in help chat. So after some run and gun you want to try sniping. You sit on a hill and pew pew. Then another player comes up to you and you hear through the game sound him talking to you. "hey dude, press triangle to change your stance and the scope won't sway!" BAM, you press triangle, it made since. People would say hello and goodbye within a game. A squad could run up to a point they were losing and see a fallen team mate. So they rez him, and him lets them know that they have 3 snipers up on the hill. Now the local vocie chat just saved a few dropsuits. Plus the revived player can verbally thank you. Another long time tradition of playing mmos. But in dust you can be typing while playing. Do it ccp, make dust the game changer it could be.

Bubbles moon Algintal Core Gallente Federation 18	Posted - 2012.10.21 02:34:00 - [19] - Quote Sobriety Denied wrote: like ad ski said it saves us muting 60% of the population. most players have no mic ettiquette and no business using a mic at all. um this game will be centered around corp battles. Get in a good corp, talk to the people you are playing with. Even if they arne't in your corp. Maybe you are fighting with another corp o your team. Each squad has voice chat, and you can hear other people broadcasting orders. One of the best game elements proxy chat brings would be making it possible to use a cloak, get close to an enemy, and listen in on him talking into his radio. Then tell your team * I'm guessing there could be mods for voice suppression right?* whats going on. It makes the game much more realistic. Gaming bliss guys, this is the stuff we wished for as kids. One step closer to VR gaming.
A-P-P KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 85	Posted - 2012.10.21 02:41:00 - [20] - Quote Call it what it is. Trash talking red dots. Proxy can be useful for talking to blues, but 99% of its awesomeness is trash talking reds. I'm not saying its a bad idea. I'm just saying I see a lot of people trying to sugar coat it.

Jarre Jardox Cool Story But It Needs More EVE 30	Posted - 2012.10.21 02:51:00 - [22] - Quote I don't like the idea of proxy chat. How are u supposed to comunicate with your squad if they are isolated on the other side of the map. Or once we get commander roles how is a commander supposed to tell squad 1 go to point a or whatever he needs to tell his team. Proxy chat is very limiting, our current chat system is less limiting. Not to mention tht proxy chat will not get rid of blue dot syndrome, there will always be blues because they either don't want to use vc or are to lazy to enable it.

You are one of those who is missing the point. Proximity chat does not replace other chats. The point is keeping the existing chats but also allowing those within earshot of your voice to be able to hear you just as in real life. In real life you have comm systems that allow you to speak to your team. But if an enemy is close you can't use them because they can physically yea you speaking. They are within earshot
Jarre Jardox Cool Story But It Needs More EVE 30	Posted - 2012.10.21 03:25:00 - [24] - Quote @ app- then like u said call it wat it is; talking to reds. Personally I don't want to hear the other team its distracting from playing the game. Also it doesn't make sense with the game we r wearing enclosed helmets y would sound come out of them unless u r purposefully trying to talk to the other team. And if thts the only reason for it then fine say it. Ill get behind it only if I can keep the current system and turn proxy off
Belzeebub Santana SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 409	Posted - 2012.10.21 03:31:00 - [25] - Quote I would like to hear from people that HAVE played with proxy and why you didn't like it? Too many of these posts clearly have no idea what they are talking about. My experience with it has always been one of hilarity and epic trash talking, and me telling a bluedot where I am for a res or other useful info. This talk about annoying people on proxy is a non issue, this game caters to the older gamer much as MAG di d and the people with screaming kids will be few and far between. So if you HAVE played with proxy and don't want it implemented, list some reasons.

So you're one side of a wall the red dots are the other side, they start talking and you realise how lucky you were as you run away to get help, or throw a nade over the wall and kill their whole squad.... Then laugh and smack talk them......... Yeah crap idea. Like Santana said, people who know but have reasons not to have it please. Not the clueless guessing we have on here.

There is no way why anyone wouldn't want proxy chat. It doesn't doesn't impede the gameplay. Its not like you'll be walking around, hearing voices as if you're a schizo lol.

Jarre Jardox Cool Story But It Needs More EVE 30	Posted - 2012.10.21 07:00:00 - [31] - Quote @ ydbbs81- actually Ive played mag. @ icecream - consider this we all have sealed metal helmets on (so does the enemy) its hard to talk through a motorcycle helmet I can't imagine wat it would be like talking through a sealed metal helmet. So unless our suit creators were dumb enough to put speakers on the outside of our suits how are you going to hear anything anyone says through proxy chat. Not to mention ur example completely defeats the purpose of scan warfare, if u can hear someone around a corner or the other side of a wall then wats the point in upgrading scan skills, also this completely nerf bats all ghost scouts. @Santana- see above. Also proxy chat kills team tactics. Im sure tht a commander is not gonna want to hear u screaming at enemies as he is trying to give orders to his team. So aside from being able to talk to blues (which probably wont work anyway because blues are gonna do whatever their gonna do regardless) how does this help squad and team tactics more than the current system. Also how do u keep proxy chat from wrecking scanning and profile dampening. It seems to me that in this game the only thing proxy chat will add to game play is player gloating, which is fine and dandy as long as it implemented in a way for those of us who don't want to go around gloating to opt out. By that I mean if u turn on proxy chat u can talk to and be heard by ppl in proxy but if u turn it off u can't do either, but either way u can still talk in chat channels. Proxy chat can be fun and useful in some games (mag being a great example) however its only use in dust tht I can see is gloating. TLDR: if u can make proxy chat optional then fine add it to dust otherwise leave it out.
Mister Hunt Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 230	Posted - 2012.10.21 07:31:00 - [32] - Quote I'm not going to go up and remember who said it, but I saw someone post that proxy chat is a must for corp battles? ORLY? It is called use team chat and learn to set your mic up right. I do wish that I could be PTT to team, voice activated to squad though. That way the squads could pass info without worrying about cutting over the other squad, and only use team for important stuff. This purported "need" to be able to curse out the idiot logi that isn't healing or talking smack to the enemy is stupid, and not needed. Voice chat is horrid enough in a pug, and now you want to make it even worse? No thanks.
Shiro Mokuzan GunFall Mobilization Covert Intervention 106	Posted - 2012.10.21 07:51:00 - [33] - Quote It's not realistic at all, because we're wearing helmets. In fact, if you've read the novel, it says we're communicating through implants in our brains. So don't try to say it is realistic, because it is not.

It's painfully obvious that you don't know how the coms worked in mag. If you wanna say we can't be overheard because of helmets or telekinesis fine but I don't see a good reason why this is bad idea! Mag had skills to be sneaky too and it didn't ruin it so ya.

As it stands the push left on D-pad is used very rarely. How about proxy chat is as normal as the rest of the ambient sounds, and squad/team chat is selected by the left D-pad. Or, as I see the idea of speakers on the outside of the suit as viable idea, have squad/team chat as normal no button to be pressed, and proxy chat to be on the left D-pad. Speakers on the suit would be needed if there was a rescue situation, etc., where you needed to communicate with someone not on your network, so it's totally explainable.
Jarre Jardox Cool Story But It Needs More EVE 30	Posted - 2012.10.21 08:54:00 - [36] - Quote Mister hunt: it pains me to say this because we agree on the subject but ur post was a bad one. Ur lack of citing who said what makes u look lazy, it took me less than a minute to find who you are referencing and I'm using a phone (it was crimson moon v btw). Ur points are all valid except for calling their "need to yell at [friendlies] or [talk] smack to the enemy" stupid. You are arguing an opinion with another opinion rather than a fact; this doesn't help strengthen ur argument. also you are insulting them by saying that wat they consider fundamentally as fun is stupid, this causes retaliation and then the whole argument is downhill from there and also further weakens ur argument. Shiro : u make a good point with the book reference although arguably the implants are real from the perspective of the eve universe

If I need to say something to a person next to me I will use push to talk. This will mean that I won't be spamming the people around me with tactical banter that really only applies to my squad. I can, on the other hand inform them of important/deadly events unfolding around them. For this to work though chat everyone has to have voice chat enabled by default and not be able to turn it off (unless they want to mute themselves or a specific annoying player).

The current system is awesome but adding proxy will make it complete. It doesn't make sense to have the option to turn it off. People are talking about realism in a space game lol. But if you want to go there, then think universal voice transmitters and being able to pick up nearby chatter. You want to know how many times I've got rezzed by a bluedot because of proxy? Or, have saved their lives or they saving mine? Or, on the fly, emergent stratagizing?? Someone said something about, "well, go on team chat". Can you imagine 24 or more people on team chat during a match? Because ccp is saying that they may add more people to the game. Proxy is needed and the fun factor increases tenfold
