heh, use it, or dont use it. 'sup to you guys.

But being able to chat in real time without having to type is a real advantage.

Specially when you're on npcdef distraction =)

asphy

or if you can't type with one hand :P

about typing while distracting npc's: without wanting to brag, i have to say that i manage to talk pretty well whilst dissing. they don't even kill themeselves when you don't let em get close.
bah! what do i need teamspeak for? *me turns white with envy*
now, where were those install discs?

tosh if you don't like your voice being heard use a mic scrambler/voice changer there are lots of those programs around.

And talking is faster then typing. I can type while distracting too but talking is faster (when my mic works)

/me goes off grumbling about his mic

You could always have voice recognition set up locally which recognized what you said into text, then ran it trhough a tts program and send the tts output into the TeamSpeak input.

Bah! Typing is now just for mac users! We've got a teamspeak server up!

www.teamspeak.org

Server URL is

teamspeak.vendettaweb.net
(or 217.207.137.2 for those of you with slow propogating nameservers)

it's on a 2mb line, and we've had 5 people on with no performance hit whatsoever.

Join up!

Thanks to Asphixia for hosting!

Hmm. I had one of these for a couple of months. I had about 2 clients on per day. SF had one too. The problem is not server-side, but client-side.

We had 4 people solid on my line even when the bandwidth was kind of maxed and it still worked well.

Bah! ill stick to my typing, i love my G5

no typing for me!

/me digs out mic

Well, TeamSpeak got a similar deal from Apple to the one Guild got. They got their free Mac. In fact, Apple gave them two top-of-the-line Macs, and they never freakin' unpacked them. Not once. I didn't believe it. They said "after this version is done", then "after that major patch", and then they said "the hardware's too old". Jebus, they didn't even try it!


Arrrgghhh-ct

you know...
we could use text-to-speech.
problem with that is, how much hp does tts gobble up? if it leaves vendetta unplayable, it's not an option. if it doesn't, however... i'd prefer it to teamspeak, since i don't really want to hear the voices of fellow players (yes, i like anonymity, even or especially when voices are concerned).

I'd take typing over some pimply faced teenager screeching commands at me anyday. Haha.
