nikoor 180 Posted December 31, 2018 So 3 months ago we got an update which stated: "Fixed VoIP issues while in an Xbox party". To me it ment you could use the game chat while in a party. Was it another VoIP related bug or what? Would be the most welcome feature to have. A lot of shooting could've been prevented not that I don't mind but it would actually change the game completely. Feel like it's holding back the potential, from the xbox players, that it could and can be. I suppose there's no other applications on xbox you could use to communicate than the 'party' to get it work with the ingame chat? I'd appreciate a response on the matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted December 31, 2018 I think they fixed it so that when you switched to game chat then voip worked, whereas prior to that it was a little unreliable. It certainly works OK for me anyhow, but yes, it would be nice to have it work without switching to game chat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bent.toe 529 Posted January 1, 2019 Yeah, would love for it to work. You can hear people but not talk back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheYetiBum 790 Posted January 2, 2019 We can thank Microsoft for there complete ineptitude at designing a supposed next gen console that has no push to talk functionality . You'd have though it'd be pretty obvious that controllers needed a new button that you could simply push and hold in order to automatically drop out of party chat and into game chat and vice versa. I'd bet y life savings that the next next gen console doesn't have this function either because the people designing them don't even play on console Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted January 2, 2019 To be fair though, I don't think that it's a common issue. I can't think of any other games where this feature is required? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It feels like developers never look at the competition and what others did a good job with (control scheme as an example). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other competitive quad based fps like siege, cod, overwatch etc. Now there's a tonnes of open world mmo type games like ark , Conan , etc that would also benefit from this functionality. I requested this function back before the 360 days . If you don't play in party chat much or play competitive games with friends a lot then you wouldn't have a need for it but many players do and don't want to have every player In There game listen to there conversation between friends 24/7 but would like the option to quickly communicate with there team whose not in the party fast. Something PC has had forever with programmes such as discord where you could talk ingame and in a party at the same time or switch between channels at the tap of a button. Seems like a no brainer to me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't believe it when I bought an Xbox and couldn't plug in a USB headset. Instead I have to buy some piece of crap adapter and attach my HS to the controller. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But yeah, if you already have a USB then pretty annoying I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiga6 2 Posted January 5, 2019 I think Microsoft should find a way to allow voice chat in game and party at the same time as an option depending on the game. Ark and dayz for best examples, Microsoft just needs them to make it possible through their system and we should be good to go. We need to raise awareness to get what we want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need to raise awareness to get what we want it could be done with porting.. (with ease) yet you wont have dayz anymore. the more ingame chatter via face to face or radio, allows for a more immersive experience. which is the direction the devs have been pushing the game sense the beginning. the game is hard and unforgiving without a friend or friends which is why we turn to party chat. now if we were to say screw it and try the game without the party and agree to meet with friends at a agreed location pregame it would allow for more interesting interactions between yourself/friends and other players. it is a difficult thing to not use a party especially when it seems like everyone around you is in party. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikoor 180 Posted January 9, 2019 I wouldn't mind them changing the game so it wouldn't work with the party chat at all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its just like discord or teamspeak on computer while playing dayz. In my opinion it wouldn’t effect the immersion in a bad way except for how people would use party chat to their advantage but the same happens on pc so.. my point is if we could talk in both at the same time the immersion would be better because player interactions could finally happen when u click down on the dpad.. letting u talk to people ingame and stay in party. How you play it doesn’t matter when everyone tries to play to their advantage, the point is this makes the best of both worlds for people in party and people in game. No one will be silent when you see them and it could make endless possibilities on how your day goes and friendships/enemies. NO MORE KOS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayzDayzFanboy 1280 Posted January 9, 2019 It's probably already been said somewhere but I think that only using game chat is an interesting option but only viable if everyone on the server does the same. Maybe if like hardcore servers, the actual server is set to game chat only. Maybe even make it so that hardcore servers have game chat only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This would be a really great feature. https://xboxideas.uservoice.com/ Edited January 9, 2019 by ShallowTech 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
