Enemy voice chat
Hello, can anyone tell me if enemy voice chat is disabled? I stopped playing the game for a few months and now I noticed that no enemies are talking anymore.

You can disable chat after death, but not while walking around.

I don't know about you guys but in the last 100 games I played I heard 0 enemy guys talking.
When was the last time you communicated with an enemy player through voice chat?

Usually when partner and I have bounty tokens and they are camping us. Lots of talking then.

Don't quote me on this, but I think they use discord chat a lot now. I remember reading that somewhere.
I was in a duo game today and I was talking through the game chat. Mostly though when no one was around us. So I know the chat is working and not disabled. In combat we didn't talk. After server wipe we did a lot of laughing though! 😂

yesterday.

Proximity chat is still in and should stay (and actually it should also attract zombies and taunt the bosses).

Good then, thanks for the info guys. I guess I'll have to start swearing and screaming in order to get a response by enemy players :D

A lot of people have switched to using discord. I kinda think its cheap and defeats the spirit of the voice chat in the game, but to each their own ;p

I mean you never can control that in a game.
I see Proximity Chat never as a primary voice chat for tactical talk but just for trash talk and roleplaying.
Its really fun that way and actually can help you kill people (taunting and luring them, even had a random partner that was in line with my thinking using standard chat to have people think hes a solo, to then gank them in the compound from two sides).

Its more or less just a tool for alternative social tactics or mockery. Nothing else.
Which is why i wished the proxy chat received an update and impacts gameplay even more (as said triggering zombies with the noise).
Wont happen though.

sometimes bugged though, it seems.
I had several occasions where my voice input was noticed by the game but not transfered (the icon for voice input appears, but the guy doesnt hear me).
Mostly it does work though.

Not saying this is related to you not hearing people, as i think it is rarer to hear people anyway, just stating its not without its problems for at least 3 users i know for sure it bugs (which also sometimes is related to the hardware not being properly set up, mind).

They all use Discord now so you can’t hear them talking. That way they can have the advantage of voice communication, without the negative of being heard talking.

I don’t understand why developers even bother anymore to add voice comms that have proximity in games, then balance around it. Just about everyone is just going to use Discord, or some other voice program to gain an advantage with zero draw backs the developers didn’t balance for.

Same thing with Survivors abusing voice comms in Survive with friends on Dead By Daylight.
