Why don’t people use mics ?

[SilkyJohnson]

I feel like it’s a new generation of gaming where people are anti social and don’t like talking for whatever reason.

[Mercuri]

Toxicity, idiocy, ignorance of the vocal majority, loud, would rather watch youtube, or a movie, or talk to whoever's in my apartment than hear a bunch of bro dudes lower their voice to get the attention of that one person who SOUNDS like chick in the group.

I'M ACTUALLY GLAD, THAT OVER THE YEARS VOICE CHAT HAS BEEN TRASHED IN GENERAL BY GAMERS LOL, I JUST WISH DEVS WOULD STOP TRYING TO IMPLEMENT IT, AND ADD MORE WAYS TO COMMUNICATE FASTER WITH TEXT CHAT. AI to selected voice, with modified custom comments would work, that way we wont get the actual personality of the player.

If you can't use a third party to communicate, then...

I just want people to stop using their Xbox live mics. I don't need to hear their girlfriend taking care of their baby in the background all game.

[Magatsu Cloud]

This has honestly been a thing for an extremely long time now.

96% of the time when someone on my team does have a mic they don't speak English, the other 4% of the time I mute them because they are eating their mic.

[Shu]

beacause i´m terrible at speaking english and my main languaje are spanish

[SuperBeasto]

When someone does speak, I can barely hear them

[Good Ass Purple Trappuccino]

I've admittedly been inconsistent with my mic usage, but it has saved me games, so I do use it. That being said, it does get annoying when people talk on the mic but I can't hear them due to a mix of low mic volume and them mumbling, sounds like the roblox news reporter. Also a pet peeve of mine are the types who don't hop on mic till we lose to complain. like you realize comms would've been useful before right? Anyway, gamers are a mostly antisocial demographic, so I don't expect much.

I feel like communication in online gaming help shape it… people were way more social .

generation alpha happened

The last time I used a mic, I got screamed at for asking for help as a Support and I shouldn't breathe because my mic was rubbish. The last time I turned on VC, someone was perpetually eating crisps and then open-mouth belched I know not everyone is like that and that I should harden up but hey... Life has been peaceful thus far.

[Speed Malus]

Its a F2P game

People behind the mic would most likely be either Soviet adjacent, Child, Hotmic or all of the above.

[Steve]

I don't use a mic for one very good reason: It's slower.

I can ping an area or ping for healing much faster than saying "someone's on the point" or "I need healing".

[Sonrangeri]

I play strategist mainly. Guess why I won't use mic?

[koopinator14]

I don't because of some people are just toxic. I had matches where people were toxic. Some matches got later were toxic but I didn't hear them because I turn off the mic and my brother heard them being toxic in matches.

Why tf do people keep necro-ing threads instead of starting new ones?

You're just going to get the topic locked because "it was quite old already" and then your conversation ends. This is the 3rd topic I've seen in 20 minutes that was started back in December or January and didn't have replies for over 2 months.

If people are trying to have real conversations, start new topics; you're just going to get shutdown by Valve when they sweep through and lock the necros resurrecting old threads like this
