Why's the game so quiet?

Post by black_and_blue » Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:52 am

I know the game theoretically supports voice chat, but I've been playing it for a few weeks now and still haven't ever heard anyone say a thing.

Is it broken, or do Chivalry players just not talk at all?

Unreal Engine is not known for it's great voice quality.

First, wrong speaking, second that isn't possible anymore; Agathan knights got their "follow me" lines properly implemented. "To me" is still in there, but no longer spammable. On a related note, they also got more "you're welcomes" and both knights also got proper lines for "respect" rather than those sarcastic coughs.

Two reasons I can see for lack of voice. Unreal engine voice quality sucks, and there doesn't appear to be an option for team voice chat; everyone can hear you and it screws things over if you try to voice teamwork-related stuff, not that your team would listen.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

If the game isn't full of TO ME TO ME COME HITHER TO ME then it's not being played correctly.

I used to talk on the mic with some sorry's and "this ways" and whatnot. Untill I realized that all talk was on and not just team talk. Not sure if there is any way to change that or now.

Like pirates, vikings and knights, you can't possibly take this game too seriously. Team speak or Skype seems like the better option.
