We need an official MWLL day!
« on: June 29, 2010, 02:45:35 AM »
I have an idea of what this game needs! It needs an official day that we can all jump into during the evening and play MWLL. We could get some real tactical games going, and use Vent or Teamspeak to voice talk to each other.

On another note, is there any active group using Vent and stuff while playing in MWLL?

*EDIT* Dammit. I miss typed the title T_T Meant to be " We need an official MWLL day!" Could a moderator bless me with a name change?

Wouldn't people being in different timezones kinda mess up the evening thing?

The Living Legends (TLL), Clan Smoke Jaguar (~SJ~), Federated Suns (IFSAC) and Clan Hell's Horses (CHH) all use Vent or TS3 for communication purposes. We also schedule matches (scrimmages) against one another. I am sure there are also other units that are using voice comms. Having a MWLL night would be a great way to fill up all the available servers but time zones and RL obligations make it difficult for a lot of people to get on at set times or days. If you want organized competitive play I would suggest checking out the Recruitment thread: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/forum/index.php/board,79.0.html

Many of the units are trying to increase the frequency of our matches. You have not fully experienced MWLL until you have participated in an organized 10 v10 or 12v12 match!

If we could get something lined up.. maybe several nights of gettem togethers for a month, I would be willing to rent a TS or Vent server to be used for these events. I know (also in the past from experience) that some units do not like to open up there own TS or vent for public use because of abusive people (language and such) jumping in and out. There are siblings from our own members that will sometimes be on our comms and I would rather just mute my Mic instead of risking a wrong word being said and ruining it for the youngster that is having fun....That being said If a public voice server is opened up I would appoint a couple of server admins to moniter language and also to warn once remove 2nd offense without warning..

ok.. if this goes through or shows interest.. start a poll on either TS Vent to be used...

We do run public comms on TS3, and encourage anyone who is playing MWLL, esp. on a TLL server, to come on by.

Due to a recent hacker attack on TLL public TS our server information has changed and it is now PW protected.

We are currently figuring out how to make it accessible while maintaining security, so our leadership is deciding how that should be handled.

Maybe we get this security bug fixed in the Beta 25 release or at least Beta 26 so we can remove that password again.

Hey Seraph,  it would help alot if we didn't have to use a 3rd party's voice communications. If we could get the in-game crysis voice to work with our mod, don't  you think it would be better?  ;D

The in-game voice really is crap... just try it out and see how well you can understand people....

Besides, using in-game voice is asking the server to do MORE than the too much it has to do already.

People use 3rd-party voice comms because the quality is better, the server strain is somewhere else, and there's a lot of good functionality there that the built-in voice is never going to have.
