Teamspeak sucks because my sound card can't support it for more than 5 minutes for some reason.

Aren't you the jolly one?

If those two don't work, do you have any other (mic) chating progs?

BTW, Ventrillo has never "broken" or crashed for me ever.. The layout is fine.. no need to add fluff to your statement..

I don't use voice chat, don't really need to.

Agreed.

I cant think of a practical voice chat-room.

I mean, hell - how are you supposed to know when to talk?
Ive had 6 years of multi-nation conference calls (using all the latest and most expensive technology), and i still cant figure it out.

go to yahoo.com register a free account download the messenger ask anyone here if they want to chat and screw yourself over trying to get it the voice conference to stay connected. <_<

Post by: EL CABAZONO on July 05, 2004, 07:00:55 PM: Really the only reason for voice chat I can see is a real time first person shooter style game that doesn't have a voice system (or it's voice system sucks).

I am just defending my opinion...

I started this topic to try and see if there could be some type of chat system like that, along with listening and responding to peoples opinions...

Talon, what do you mean how are you supposed to know when to talk?

It's not like everyone is in one channel silent waiting for one person talk..
You strike up conversations.. You talk about NWN, you get to know each other more.. just chilling.

Celestial, Ventrillo never disconnects people/kicks people/crashes or anything of the sort.. So I wouldn't have to worry about downloading some messenger thing fiddling with a voice chat system that is crap.

Post by: Ludo on July 05, 2004, 10:11:40 PM: Well you made it sound like I would break my back trying to do it.. so I would assume it wasen't a prefered choice..

Gah just try Ventrillo... I promise it is better..

I know everyone isnt going to be silent - thats the whole point.
As ive said, ive probably had more audio conferences than you could imagine, and when 20 people are all trying to say something at the same time, you will see why that technology falls flat on its ass.

Post by: Ludo on July 06, 2004, 10:24:08 AM: Thats why there is 20 different channels you see? Sure there will be a lot of people in a certain channel some times... but they all won't run their mouths either. My gosh someone has got to atleast trust me on this.

It doesnt matter how many channels there are.
In fact, having more than a single channel is what causes all the confusion - when everyone starts talking together.
Ive used these technologies time and time again, and other than a roger wilco'esque application (i.e. rogue spear, counter strike, etc) they really are just a useless gimmick.

But feel free to use them if you like.
