Welcome back.
I am with a group of friends who use Teamspeak, but we're debating switching to Vent. At any rate, it's a random group of people and we're always looking for new people to come on with us. Let me know if you have any questions, I can set ya up.
Along with Chant's group the other active "voice chat" groups include:
Night Shift, hit up @Valdy.
Victory Global, talk to @3 Deviant
There is always Legion of Valor, the largest SG on Victory, you can check us out at http://legionofvalor.guildportal.com LoV has a TS server as well currently. The person to talk to about this would be @EricNelson
Thank you for your welcome! I have submitted my application to join Legion of Valor.
I was very impressed with Legion of Valor, but I reluctantly left them when I found out that they rarely use voice communication any more.
Out of curiousity, why do you need it? It can be chatty and friendly, I know, but tells and channels work pretty well still. And you don't need that much coordination on teams, either. I used to play in a Battlefield 1942 and then 2 squad that competed competitively, and you certainly needed it there. CoX isn't anything like that, even on an MO run.
Guide: Tanking, Wall of Fire Style (Updated for I19!), and the Four Rules of Tanking

Synopsis: Explore the fine line between justice and vengeance as you help a hero of Talos Island bring his friend's murderer to justice.

Chat servers are nothing about soft caps and hit points and minus regen and all about connecting together and having fun. Inevitably for many that's what makes an MMO special. Otherwise it's just an endless game with no real consequences in the plot and no "game over."
Some people have told me that chat servers are strategic in a task force though, in the same way that a hands-free phone may help prevent you from killing yourself on the road. It frees you from having to type during battle if you need to communicate something fast on a team (leaving your hands and fingers to concentrate on staying alive).
For me honestly it can be even more of a distraction, but I enjoy it nonetheless.
For day to day teaming, I dont bother with Vent/Teamspeak, but for a Master Run, its makes things sooooo much easier.
Being able to communicate with the whole team in an instant triples your chance of success.
Thats one more.................. For the good guys!
Thank you all for your support. I'm now enjoying COH + vent with Tribe of Legends. See you all in game.
Holy crap I remember you "Goat" or maybe. Did you play on Virtue?? If you did then I didn't know you well but we had some friends in common and teamed together a few times.

I played from the original beta to the COV beta. I was a founding member and leader of T.E.A.M. and I went by "Goat". Back then, our tactics were built around AOEing as many NPCs as we could handle. Those were some of the best times I've had gaming - and I started playing D&D in 1977. (BTW, I remember Satanic Hamster's name from his posts on this forum. It's nice to know that some folks have been here since the beginning.) I have three 50s that I don't remember how to play (and for some reason, they have no enhancements), a few 32ish toons, and a few new toons. I'd like to see new content and try out new toons/powers, but my real focus is the players. I'll play any powerset to fill a hole on the team. Thank you. |
