PSA: your voice chat is muted by default

[Roy]

I have no idea why the devs thought this was a good idea and i hope they change it but apperently people aren't just ignoring you and not using their mic, you're muted.

You have to go into Options>Audio> Voice settings at the bottom and change it from muted to what you like.

Someone told me this ingame and i've been telling everyone i come across who asked me how i was using VC and it baffles me that this is a thing.
All those rounds of me talking to people thinking they just wouldn't communicate only because i was muted.

Disabled by default should be the common practice. Please keep it as it is.

If you can't figure out your own settings I don't want to voip with you to begin with.

yes this is a good choice.

Yet it still connects everyone in the background via peer2peer voip.
I wish I could disable it entirely. I bet some of the disconnects would be solved by that.

Yes, please. If I want VOIP I activate it.
And if the people really do not know about this option, so be it. If one can not be bothered to understand what one is using (ones headset, PC, game, ...), one should not use it.
In this sense, leave it deactivated as default.

Could be solved by muting someone.

Everyone here is acting like they'll be forced to listen to jet engines taking off when i'm only suggesting the default option to be push to talk, not muted.
Ideally a slider to lower/raise someone's mic along with a mute button would be perfect.

It was active by default and i am thinking about turning it off.

That doesn't solve the issue, of us hearing jet engines and basshunter in the background. through a 5usd microphone that hasn't seen the day of light since 1992

Disabled by default and then for anyone wishing to use it they can enable it.
Dont force me a style of play i dont want. but do provide options for people who do want.

You forgot to include this last bit.

Noone is forcing you a playstyle, you're acting like having it on muted by default will weed out the bad microphones, it's just going to bother everyone with a proper microphone.
They invented an ingame mute button for that a long time ago, no need for this nonsense.

[Johnnie Walker]

good no one needs to hear mu soothing voice or shooting voice

[saice]

Good rarely is VC good with random people.
Ping and text is fine for most stuff.
I'll get on Discord for voice when I run with my friends

i will never understand why anti social people insist on playing social and team games. Atleast it filters you guys off of the harder game modes so I dont have to deal with it

that doesnt make any sense.

It should be ENABLED by default, then if someone has a crap mic, or is a ♥♥♥♥, simple open social, mute, done.
