I'm sorry Vent and EQ are not fun for you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
The guilds I have been in have had some mighty good times! |
I've used vent to record podcasts with my friends (3 or 4 of them). I've used it if I've had a project to work on with someone long distance. It's been fun for sure!
But these are people who are my close friends and family. There is a specific goal to complete, and a timeframe I can expect to be on Vent for... similar to a phone call.
Using these tools in a game like eq is a completely different. You're on it for an indefinate amount of time usually (read: while poopsocking or tracking), often times for multiple hours. Guilds are larger, and you may not necessary like everyone in the chat. Some people's mics might not be properly calibrated (too loud or quiet) making even listening to it annoying.
What's worse, is it absolutely destroys the immersion, at least for me. Not just for EQ but in any MMO I've played. while on vent the game is no longer an adventure. It's a damned video call where I have the appearance of a grinning ogre or whatever my avatar might be at the time. On top of that, this video chat requires me to do something for people who are constantly talking in my ear about god knows what. Sometimes it's relavant, sometimes it's not.
Finally, I've got to wear a headset mic. I'm assuming most others do this too. I did that for 6 years at my job previous to my current one and hated it. The last thing I want to do is put one on in my free time.
Just a few reasons why I don't like using vent or TS while gaming here
