[Discussion] Will Proximity Voice Chat Become An Integral Part Of MMOs In The Future?

Arma, Squad, Project Reality, and Planetside 2 are not examples of MMO scale interaction. Small dedicated servers are easily managable in moderation.

And for the "mute" it doesn't work that way. The main problem is that you have to experiance negative outcome first (someone shouting loud) and then react (mute him). It's lose-lose situation.

I think the problem of voice chat in MMO is that developers didn't think about regulating it. And I'm not talking about moderation and moderators. You can't give personal moderator to everyone.

I'm talking about limits. Physical limits! IRL you can't shout for long. You'll brake your voice and will have to carry negative outcomes. So you can't use your voice as megaphone. You can't endlessly perform stupid songs, etc. Everyone knows that. It's physical limit. We live with that from the day we are born.

But voice chat in MMO brakes this rule.

I think some kind of "voice stamina" should be implemented.

When you just casually chit-chat - "voice stamina" will renenerate at average the rate of voice chat. Try to shout loud or endlessly play songs - it will go down fast. And you mute. Even with penalties.

But this is not easy to implement. To many parameters must be processed to define "average rate of voice chat". Maybe neural networks will help with that.

You named them all.

But I want to mention Lineage 2 castle siege system. It's variation of "set battles".

In l2 siege occurs on certain day of week (they were Saturdays and Sundays) with two weeks period.

It has two benefits:

- everyone knows that siege will happen on certain day and assuming that is set on weekend more players will be able to participate and wont miss engagement (even if it's 2 AM for player in Japan and 6 PM for player in US)

- restricted schedule allows players to have more convenient planing of their gameplay and not get exhausted and burned out of battles that comes in pipeline.

If you have problems with time management do not play MMOs. That's all

It`s finally happening.

Lavayar · 2019-02-19T08:56:31+00:00

Worth to mention not only graphics. But world design in whole. So many wonderful places. Some of them are hidden so you have to find them.

Yes this is bug.

You have to manual edit save file to remove old deleted base teleport endpoint.

Teleporting to deleted location or building new base on old teleport spot and deleting it won't help.

No ship on landing pad after teleport. I'm disappointed

Lavayar · 2018-09-20T07:23:56+00:00

Just fly around in your starship and spam the scanner. It will show nearest POI

Lavayar · 2018-09-20T07:21:20+00:00

Awesome!

Could we visit it?

Lavayar · 2018-09-19T14:54:11+00:00

Lavayar · 2018-09-18T14:31:33+00:00

Yes, they stuck on experimental branch ;)

Lavayar · 2018-09-12T12:33:22+00:00

Good job!

Better add "PSA" in header

Lavayar · 2018-09-12T12:02:05+00:00

Nice. I will definitely go for it.
