Will have to try and get to talk about this again at some point. But i think we'll all admit there are more pressing matters. Though it is still usefull to mention that.

(This has been suggested many times in last year, but all those threads seem to be locked. Feel free to link your old comments.)



BACKGROUND:
Corp battle team size just got up to 16.
Larger player counts are on the roadmap.
Currently there are only everyone on Team Voice or squads being isolated.
Current voice chat does not promote teamwork and won't give maximum game experience.
Players want to level up fighting battles now.


[REQUEST:] Hierarchic voice chat for corp battles
Improve Voice Chat hierarchy for corp battles.


Suggestions how to do it in short term:
Let squad members be in squad amongst themselves and consider it as lower channel.
Let Team Voice be higher level channel.
Let Squad Leaders hear both lower and higher channels. (maybe all members)
Give Squad leader an easy max 2-click way to change active speaking channel.
DONE!


Suggestions how to do it in long term:
- Create Team Boss Role in corp management, who can nominate Team Commanders for each fight
- Create few default comm models which the TC can choose from in order to avoid customizing each player every battle.

Model1:
- Team commander's default voice is on higher channel.
- Team commander can push to talk to whole team.
- Squad commanders default voice is on squad level
- Squad commanders can push to talk on higher level
- Squad commanders can choose if his squad hears the higher lever or not


Model2:
Everyone on same channel, but TC has priority speaker, SQ leaders next.


+ more options

If they would just fix the chat bubble glitch we could do this ourselves by selectively muting folks.
