Has anyone noticed no voice chat?

[Ghost]

I don't know if this is just me, but I've played easily 10 games, and nobody responds to my microphone. The microphone icon is picking up when I say something, but while I've had a lot of engagement in games like Dark and Darker, this game I haven't had ONE person either talk back to me or even indicate that they can hear me at all.

Is this just me?

They really don't make it clear in game, but voice chat only works for teammates. So, (apparently) just arena and trios if you're using the in-game group up. It's honestly a shame, I was surprised how fun Dark and Darker's VoiP was, since i expected a constant barrage of toxicity. Hopefully they decide to allow it for proxy chat.

I did try it once with randoms in arena but nobody was using it, so that's why i say "apparently", i haven't confirmed it for myself.

I appreciate you saying so, unfortunately, this is a deal breaker for me. Games like Tarkov and Dark and Darker are fun because of the proximity voice chat. You never knew who was friend or foe, or who was going to stab you in the back. If you remove voice chat from all of that, you ruin the magic.

Yeah, i get that for sure, maybe check back if they have another playtest in the future, they might changed it?

Not sure if you're invested enough to do so, but they have a google form that you can fill out to let them know you'd like them to add it.

Proxy voice chat needs to be a thing.

It would add so much to this growing game.

No worries the devs have said that they are working on adding voice chat soon.

Not having proximity voice chat so you can talk ♥♥♥♥ while being a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is a deal breaker for you? Interesting.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
