Love is in the air!

Also if people want to participate in structured PvP they will be required to use a headset and some kind of voice messaging software, probably skype. This is purely for practicality's sake as structured PvP is very fast paced and so typing commands will get you killed.

Hell, I'd demand Voice chat just for playing. I'm tired of text chats since going on mumble daily with guildies.

Also Skype is pretty cool for a few people, but a nice server for vent or mumble would be a delight for many.

Voice chat is preferable for most things but is straight up required for structured PvP.

I don't have any experience with vent or mumble, what is it like and how do you set it up?

You need a server, which annoyingly costs money.

I'd front the money no problem if I was still currently working, but we've got plenty of time before GW2 hits so we'll see what happens. May get a windfall.

How much money?

If it's under a tenner a month I'd happily pay it.

It'd probably easily be under a tenner a month.

It actually seems like mumble servers are around £1 a month for a 10 slot server.

A ten slot server can handle 10 people in the call at once right?

Yes. Though I'd suggest everyone use push to talk, as everyones sounds at once would be bad.

I can't seem to use microphones for some reason. I tried using Vent for WoW but I ended up only being able to hear other people, since nothing anyone tried got my voice any louder than a tiny whisper.

I would like to ask everyone to keep the profanity off of the mics, as well.

I'm sure most of us don't mind it, but certain people surrounding us probably will (like parents, for instance).

So where does this put the voiceless? Just out of PvP (which is fine for me). Or is some sort of talking tech required to be in the guild?

It isn't because I won't have any and I'm a part of the guild.

If you want a leadership position you MUST have voice chat. It's too fast paced to stop and type.

Required for structured PvP out of necessity, optional otherwise.

So dungeons, World Vs World PvP and open world PvE won't need any voice chat software.

It was brand new.

But so long as it isn't required, i'm fine - I hate PvP anyway.

What mic do you have? Is it jack or usb?

That's the problem. I've got the same issue.

What happened is the Realtek manager has derped and decided to set the mic volume down incredibly low. The only solutions I have found are boosting the mic volume enough to counter it (which degrades the quality leaving a slight hiss in the background) or a format and reinstall. For me the boost hasn't worked and I can't be bothered reformatting only to know I'll have to deal with that manager again anyway. The main problem is the audio drivers are part of the manager so you can't actually get away with ignoring it as uninstalling it uninstalls the drivers... -.-

Jack, it's a logitech IIRC, and it's currently sitting in a box somewhere from the house move.

n0t_u: I can't be bothered reformatting either, so I guess i'm stuck with it
