Papa 231 Posted July 9, 2013 Could it be possible to turn all talk off for a day or two and see how people like it? Currently the entire game is basically people yelling at each other, which overall is fine except it gets really annoying over time. All talk would promote more team-based game play and reduce the overall chatter on the mic. It kind of requires a decision between having a more relaxed server compared to a more serious server. Personally I do enjoy having all talk on, however it gets quite annoying having people constantly talking every single round, and the thing is we aren't going to mute people just because they're talking. 2 TurtleFrenzy and Wintergreen reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLiNDBoi 930 Posted July 9, 2013 I second this, I turned my settings of voice_scale to 0.1 because I was getting annoyed with the chatter. Some days I can engage it in and others I can't stand it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eddy 3887 Posted July 9, 2013 we just need to hire a ninja to steal prosaks and brownies mics so we don't have to hear them yell. 1 TurtleFrenzy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Ross Zombie 1512 Posted July 9, 2013 Maybe turn off all talk and have everyone go to team speak for the all talk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thorgot 2420 Posted July 9, 2013 Or maybe team talk when alive, alltalk (with other dead people) when dead? Edit: Never mind, the cvars don't work that way. 3 Silent_Shot, TurtleFrenzy and Avery reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa 231 Posted July 9, 2013 Honestly I find it pretty damn funny when Prosak is talking, but it's when 3-4 people are all having some sort of heated debate about something when it gets ridiculous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Black Woman 257 Posted July 9, 2013 i dont care if people talk during the rounds its just fucking annoying when people dont have the common courtesy to let people have their turn talking and in turn just try to shout over top of them 1 BLiNDBoi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa 231 Posted July 9, 2013 voice_enable 0 or dont play the server fuckheadI wouldn't have made a thread about this if a bunch of us didn't discuss it in the server. I'm not so much going against all talk being on as much as bringing it up as a possibility to turn it off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oreo 2073 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) Alltalk was always on for WCS1. It provides a social aspect to the community and allows some pretty fun times. By fun times, I don't mean people like brownies screaming at the top of their lungs or being obnoxious like many of the current players can be. This isn't a serious competitive server nor is there much strategy incorporated into the gameplay. Leave it as is, if you don't enjoy alltalk then just do voice_enable 0 like Pebbz said. To be honest, if we go down the path of turning off alltalk then i'll probably just stop playing the server. Edited July 9, 2013 by Oreo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SO's and Staff that talk while dead aren't usually heard by alive people from what I've noticed/remembered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xmen 983 Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) In jb it's alltalk on but dead ppl can't talk to alive. Had to bind voice_enable 0 to a key for the 1v5 clutches But imo it's not that big of a deal if ppl would just tone it down when it's 1v1 or something.

Fat Black Woman 257 Posted July 9, 2013 sG is all about community and socializing with your fellow gamers so why not allow the members and players on the server to communicate freely amongst one another on a server that isnt highly competitive or strategic?? if need be, implement a rule where people are to keep chatter to a minimum when say, there's one person alive on a team, or when it's 1v1?

XIII 149 Posted July 9, 2013 It's been all-talk for the longest time, it's almost like a tradition on sG's warcraft servers. It does get annoying but it's more friendly (ironic use of the word, considering most things said are insults or random gibberish) because everyone is always talking with one another. You can always mute people who are annoying anyway, from the scoreboard screen (TAB). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
