Stranger danger! I don't know if it will be a highly used feature. WoW had one and no one used it, SC2 has one and no one uses it. Would be interesting to see how it plays out though.

In RTCW you had voice commands. You hit V then two numbers to get a voice from your character. Such as V 1 1 Thank you. V 5 3 Incomming and so forth.

In this game you can hold E and bring up a radial dial of a couple basic command/announcements. Perhaps if we could edit the radial or even add a couple more of our choosing/customization it would work.

I don't like in game voice chat because I don't want to be grouped with some retard who mouths off or acts like a tool. With friends/guild I will use vent. For random pugs if the content is that hard that I need to talk to the people and organize, I would rather do it with people I know. So for me I would have it turned off all the time. For the times the content needed it I would only go with people I know and the people I know and will play with use vent.

We want a social game and using those dials isnt very social. you dont have to listen to them if someone is acting a fool ull have the option to turn them down. Just cause you dont like talking to people and dont want to meet new players dont kill the feature for those who do.

So you want a social game. Yet chat text isn't social? Which is how you communicate mostly with new people in this game as the main world doesn't allow voice chat.

I thought the reasoning was the typing in the middle of a BaM was very hard to do. Which is addressed somewhat by standard commands that are already in the game and just need more tweaking to get a functioning system. This is unlike voice chat which is not in the game and needs a lot more work.

Also you assume I don't like meeting new people or talking to others. I do like those things. But people have to pass certain criteria to get voice chat. I think you also underestimate how awful it can be to a girl gamer when randoms find out it is a girl. In short it has issues. Not to mention WoW had this and no one used it at all.

WoW is point and click, Tera requires skills and organization and communcation is key to that. thats why games like vindictus and DCUO have ingame chat.

It's also one of the underlying reasons why the DCUO servers lag like hell, and are extremely unstable.

Again, just use vent or mumble. Mumble is even free to use/host
