Why do you people constantly dont use your mics?

[pza]

Mostly talking about Rank 3! I bet lots of higher ranked players talk way more? at least i hope! Im finally getting to a certain skill level where im rank 4 for a while again and again so i hope it will get better there..

so i get that the hunt ingame voicechat is pretty horrible and that hunt always makes it a little bit problematic to speak while playing, cause you have to make the ingame sound so f'ing loud, to hear everything that you sometimes just cant hear other people.

BUT WHY DO SO MANY OF YOU NOT TALK AT ALL? or just in very very rare occasions? just explain the reason to me please! I always wondered about that in video games in general.. i get it from russians and japanese people cause sadly they dont learn english in school, but whats with all the other people?

yes there are games like rainbow six siege, that are almost unplayable if you dont talk, but hunt is pretty high up there! its always the same.. in fights i always have to ask where the second or third guy is, cause i dont know who downed who so often i dont even know if all people are dead cause theires no communication. this problem definitely makes the game more difficult..

i obviously get that enemys can hear you too.. but that really doesnt matter, if you for example just wanna know who downed who.. A lot of people are german and many dont have english as theire first language, i get that! im german too. but why did yall go to school in the first place? Just speak, it doesnt matter how good you are.

Are people simply not intelligent enough to understand how important it is? Yea sure im also not always in the mood to talk much to people.. But real important basic things.. its pretty much always possible! no matter how much i want to be alone.. you can always at least warn a person if a guy is right behind them.. or if the area is clear..

It seems as senseless to play without a mic as it is to play without sound..

The problem exists in other games too, but It just seems sometimes like hunt is a game for 50% supernerds who are generally scared to speak to strangers!? and thats okay btw! i just wanna understand.

Just why? Can somebody explain that to me who also doesnt talk? Whats your reason for that? I accept all your answers, dont worry! so dont be shy. i just wanna understand.. its not like i will stop playing because of it and obviously thats also why its good to form a team with other people on discord, so lets leave that aside!

Voip can be heard from many miles away. Discord teams have a massive advantage over randoms.

[jangosplace]

If I cant say what i want i stay quiet

[Dain_Ironfoot]

I would tell you why, but I don't feel like talking.

[iеsilcut]

in 4+ everyone is sociophobes and the last time they talk at least a year ago.
Do not blame us

Better question is, if communication is so important to you why would you not play premade teams?

[Dux]

I blast my drinking pub music while playing and have no desire to hear your quarter-fluent heavily accented tryhard callouts because I play to have fun

[CynicDragon]

Wow, you want it too much dude, it's possible your too pushy, and peeps sense that, and shy away for safety

[CynicDragon]

Your profile bio is paragraphs long and complains about other peeps egos, and uses emotes in place of words lol, that is cringe gen z, sensor ville lol I'm afraid to speak to you as well

I play in 3-5 stars most of the time and in 4 to 5 stars chances for communicating randoms higher. Also i can say its not that bad as you describe - perhaps you were unlucky to play with asocial players in some matches in a row. In my experience around 33 % randoms talk and 33% write in a chat if they cant talk for some reason. You can understand if people tend to socialize when you greet you partners at the beggining. Also players can start talking in the middle of the hunt when you giving them important info about enemies, traps locations etc. Other people for example will nod so you would know they hear and understand you. Overall i think its not that bad. You can even talk and see if they understand you by their reaction sometimes - they turn around for a second and listen for example. Thats communication too i guess)

I try not to talk because enemies can hear us.

[geordiebroon58]

as you stated enemy teams can hear you and its got a pretty good radious at that

unless you know someone enterd the building then theres no reason to really state anything "who downed who" is pretty irelevent especially if there is 2 teams as its stuff you should just follow in general by sound alone you should be able to tell

as for speaking in general not everyone is up for a convo etc and just want to play the game especially for other games like TF2 for example talking in chat for the vibe is best your gonna get from most people as voice chat is almost completely useless

in hunt 9/10 cases talking is pointless or even impratical unless your communicating through discord because hunts voice chat is ironically just punishing. state someone enterd you ruin the chanse to ambush them and they will push back out. state you want to push out or something then they will know (unless camping in far distince) you cant communicate in hunt unless your stating you downed someone from a far or maybe got bounty and team camping wrong side

hunt voice chat is pretty much pointless when ping can pretty much do it all, a ping and a little message if needed is all your ever gonna need

iv never been fond of hunts voice chat even tho it gives some funny interactions with other players

[Spike Migo]

The fact that anyone has to explain that talking in hunt voip gets you noticed faster blows my mind lmao, like this should be common sense right??

[DarkKrieg]

99% of the time teammates have nothing useful to say, or don't bother listening anyway.

I'm also not playing Hunt with randoms to make friends. You're probably going to die in a stupid place, and there's nothing I can say that's going to make that not happen.

[Eldritch Panda]

In high rank nobody talks in game except to ♥♥♥♥ talk, but alot of us have voice muted because people like to spam loud music. Why even play with randoms I don't understand

[pza]

alright.. good to know some of the answers are a little bit more on the scary site if they get ignorant, cause you guys lost every connection to reality.. like people trying to tell you that if you "get good" enough you dont need to talk ever.. (yeah thats why all pro clans in team games play in silence all the time). these are the most fascinating comments.

the game itself definitely doesnt make it much easier.. the ingame voip is a questionable choice in the first place, so i can understand why people are confused by how to use it.. you actually would have to think when to talk and when not...

plus the unavoidable few answers of people who cant read....

and then there is "yung pro"..... kiddo youre a meme stfu nobody talks in voicechat all the time, thats real bad etiquette. no matter if its strangers or your friends. you only talk if necessary.

for me it doesnt matter that much. like ive said.. i still enjoy the game. and if i want better and more serious teamplay i can play with friends.
