Why is voice chat so dead?

[Purgato]

I've noticed in my day of playing so far very, very few people communicate over mic in Isonzo. I only heard one other person doing so in the dozen matches I played.

Why is this going on and is there anything that can be done to help this?

Because there is no proximity chat.

I'd love to shout "hey idiot stop running away from me i'm just trying to be a good guy and heal you" at certain people, but I don't want to yell that to the 22 other people that it doesn't apply to

Yes!
Default keybindings are:
V for Squad chat
Left Alt for Team chat

Last game, I played, we coordinated quite a bit just with type chat, was fun even.

Difficult to say in this case, but you're sarcasm radar might have failed you here ;-)

If you don't have proximity chat then the game lacks voice chat.

The fact there is no proximity chat makes a big difference in that. Nor is there a team voice chat. Squad chat is more of a gimmick for a game like this. Either buddies are in a squad together and already on voice calls via whatever, or it's a bunch of randoms, and only 4 of em, that really don't feel like ordering 3 other people around.

The current implementation of voice chat is a bit flawed imo.

Edit: Apparently there is team chat. I've never heard anyone speak in 3 hours of play. Hm.

[Rhaaxerus]

Similar with Tannenburg and Verdun, most players just simply don't use voice chat.
A proxy chat would be nice.

I asked in chat if anybody could hear me in either Team or Squad. Nothing. Apparently it's broken.

Game needs local VOIP. It'd be nice if the enemy could hear it too but not necessary.

Yeah, the game really lacks proximity chat. That would help a lot. In games like HLL or Squad the commander and the SLs tend to communicate a lot, because there is a whole strategic meta-game that requires co-operation. Here it is not the case. It would be nice though if the commander(s) communicate with players and keep them in the loop. Instead they just spam their call-ins without much thought. Contrary to the aforementioned games playing the commander is not particularly challenging.

Would be amazing to have Prox voip... So you don't annoy the ♥♥♥♥ outta your team

Isn't voice chat disabled? Doesn't work even on squad.

[THENETWORK]

Because the Devs have not added Proxy Chat, no one wants to speak when you are trying to hear and you have someone across the map talking about something complelty unrelated the the fight you are in, people use the voice chat only when Proxy is there like in insurgency or rising storm

People don't want too. You cannot force them and nothing we, or anyone, can do to change that.

Because there is no Proxy Chat
