VOIP is a standard

[R. Montoya]

Alright, whoever's harebrained idea it was to NOT include some form of voip needs to be fired, like 6 months ago. It's a standard in just about any and all co-op games since the advent of VOIP. What is this Starbreeze? 1998? Get with the times, fix your ♥♥♥♥ and put a voip in.

But then all muted as standard coz i dont wanne hear caughing grandpas, crying babies, weird kiddos and other dumb ppl which are not able to use an mute button....
But basically private groups use Discord or other progs instead.

Then let people choose to mute, rather than allowing that.

Unfortunately not everyone playing has 4 man teams in discord that are ready to go play, so allowing for voip should 100% be a basic standard in game. Don't be ignorant to the possibilities because you want to be stubborn.

Actually, MP games in 1998 had voicechat, it was a standard feature even back then.

Most groups will use Discord these days. I have no interest in listening to children scream racist slurs, so voice with randoms isn't something I really care about.

Yeah never gonna use voip. Servers wouldnt keep up with the extra traffic anyways.

I was being sarcastic in that. IIRC Voip was first introduced in '95. I mean ♥♥♥♥ dreamcast in '99 was rolling voip out as a console standard, paving the way for those horrible call or duty lobbies of old.

Which is why it's even more baffling as to why this is missing. It's lack of inclusion makes the game feel half baked at best (not that the server outages didn't convey this already) - and like the developers outright don't respect the playerbase at worst.


The devs need to truly pull their heads out of their collective asses.

I mean - you aren't wrong... if they can't get the servers working properly... then voip is a non issue.

One major issue with that is that the Payday 3 Discord server no longer accepts new people, so it's a little harder to find groups of people to play with (if your friends don't play it)

Did you even understood what i have written?
I ive would be against viop so i would write "no, dont want it".
But i wrote that when it could be implemented so then with mute state as standard.
Why i am then ignorant or stubborn?

Fair enough. Sorry, bud. You know that "I'm so sick that I can barely understand anything"?

It's like that today. ♥♥♥♥ Covid.

Which is why mute buttons exist.
