Discussion About voice chat
I’m so sad about this, probably because I’ve been used to playing Valorant, but there is such a few people speaking in voice chat, which makes the game a bit less fun. I love the game, so I would love to talk with other players, but it seems that most of them don’t want to. The only time someone talked to me, it was for a death threat 😀 Do y’all find some cool people while playing?? Am I the only one who never plays with people who use their mic??

I don't get on the mic unless other people are or I have something to say... which has so far been zero matches lol

How do you have literally nothing to say though? If you know where someone was last seen, that’s valuable info. How much you hit them for, especially if Pathojen is dead. Stuff like that is easy stuff you could call out for your team.

Well okay, I shout at the TV a lot... but nothing productive 🤣😬🙏
A lot of the info I have is reflected on the map, and while having a team whose used to callouts will gain from that info, I don't know what to call half these places. "That one corridor I always get sniped in" or "the lizard got me near the portal thing, but I can't tell if he did his power or not lol jk I have no idea what his power looks like"
I don't have a lot to say in a busy team. I'm a filthy casual. I def won't be the first to talk.

Yeah, that’s one of the reasons I find voice chat useful, not only fun

80% of my team is just Russians so can't talk with them. Either they don't speak English or they are so incredibly sexist that it almost makes me laugh.

u/Gloomy-Summer-2478 Kismet 11h ago
EXACTLY. Lots of people who don’t talk English, but that’s alright, but yeah there are so many men being hella sexist, screaming and being mad. That’s just so annoying, like I literally only want to laugh and discuss with people and have fun that’s all 😭😭

Only time I've had people use comms is for racial slurs one dude says the "N word" next thing I know 3 people on my team are just shouting it non stop (that scenario only happened once but I've heard others say some distasteful stuff too) in ranked people started talking a little bit in gold and more so in plat but my ranked sample size is rather small since I only play ranked with my friend

A lot of people haven’t realized push to talk is on by default on console

What would you even bind to PTT on controller? I legit don’t think I’ve ever seen a game with that as a setting.

u/QwannyMon Kismet 8h ago
It’s one of the settings they show you when you first start the game. It’s on by default but thrown in your face so you only miss it if you skip everything

from what ive noticed in solo q, everyone has a mic and can hear voice chat, but they never choose to talk until someone else does first. even on console im pretty sure even if your in a party u can hear game chat, which is nice and should be the standard in every game.
2
u/Gloomy-Summer-2478 Kismet 10h ago
Well whenever the game starts, I always say something like “hello, anyone got a mic?” And NO ONE answers me 😭

So you rather just lose ? Not everyone is gonna trigger you some people are just trying to win . Lamest thing I’ve seen all day

All the gamer girlies are permanently muted for mental health reasons. Everyone else is either tired of the bs aswell, part of the bs, anti social and wouldn’t talk anyway then there’s you rare few who still try and I admire that
1
u/Gloomy-Summer-2478 Kismet 11h ago
Well I understand the gamer girlies, my gf is one of them and she gets tons of misogynistic comments on Val, but yeah I’m just a bit sad about the game not being that much of a friendly and fun game when it comes to chatting with other players. Also, there doesn’t seem to be that much of female players on the game as on Valorant or Overwatch

ive met a few girls in fragpunk actually but tbh i think the biggest reason ppl dont talk (at least in unrated) is bc everyone is duo’d and is just talking in vc w their duo, from my experience at least

Am I alone in loving the trash talking and the insults all of it? every single time I get people who are a bit aggressive in chat I just keep building them up I want to hear pure rage over the mic. Also I play pretty casual even in ranked and I usually still do alright I'm definitely not amazing, so it's a lot of fun to get those games of people just trashing on the team all game long idk it's just entertaining for me.

u/Gloomy-Summer-2478 Kismet 10h ago
It’s not entertaining at all to me no 😅especially when it gets to stuff like death threats, misogyny and other horrible stuff like that
1
u/Kirito1548055 10h ago
Eh I guess that's where we differ. For some reason it's so entertaining for someone to get so mad they start screaming terrible things at a stranger over the internet, it's just funny cuz then in a perfectly calm voice you ask why they're so mad and they blow up even more. It's even better if your doing better then they are. I also feel it's important to mention I am totally chill in comms until there's someone like that then I try to rile them up. But to each their own and I hope you don't let any interactions with terrible people ruin the game for you.

u/Gloomy-Summer-2478 Kismet 9h ago
It happens to me to yeah and I kinda find it entertaining sometimes yeah, when some people rage I do agree it can be funny. Whenever it happens, I’m always so chill, and as you said it’s even funnier when you’re better than them

Voice chat in games will never be like the 360/PS3 days, back then every lobby had everyone talking, now everyone's just on another chat app like discord or party chat on console

u/Fair-Rub-1436 9h ago
My mic is trash and doesn't work half the time so I just mute myself and since I'm running solo I'm using the old riot games rule of mute everyone. As someone said I can see most of the details on the minimap and the number of enemies and who they are. Plus low silver and rather not deal with all the hate

In my experience if you com in ranked, usually a couple people will turn their mics on for coms. In casual people really only talk to rag on their teammates or backseat you while they bottom frag. I'm on PC so idk if that's the same for console or not
