Voicechat for xenos

add VC for xenos when queen is alive

if queen is dead everyone gets disconnected out of the discord voice call

we already have bots observing if the round is over or not why dont we get one for queen or why dont we get one when hivemind is up

also everyone that uses voice chat should use a larva voice changer so that they sound like aliens or when they are queen they get a deep or chipmunk voice (required)

half shitpost half serious btw. What do you think?

so the thing is xenos have a hivemind so it’s okay for them to metacomm because they’re a hive after all

Where is that copy pasta a xeno sent coping about metacomms ages ago, this reminds me of this

Idk why “when queen dies, everyone gets disconnected from discord voice call” made me laugh so much

I like the idea tho. Vc is good for the game.

queen screech
“user disconnected from your channel”

I think that adding voicechat to this game is THEORETICALLY possible.
I also think that cold fusion is theoretically possible.

We’ll see which one comes first :upside_down_face:

I’ve played servers that use a third party for local VOIP, a bit buggy but honestly very cool.

This was with a pop of about 10-20 though, the shrill screeches of 200 privates being captured probably results in actual PTSD.

As for xenos, they already have hivemind voicechat. It’s called the xenocord👽

Also this reminds me:

I was unironically originally go into a way it could be done using my theoretical computer knowledge, but uh, I thought to make a joke in lieu of being wrong. (Something something Teamspeak, something something channels, something something USER HAS DISCONNECTED FROM THIS CHANNEL, something something paid service.)

I don’t think voice chat would be good for the game; If I wanted to get screamed at by my team-mates for my stupidity, I’d player ArmA Reforger.
Plus, its easier to roleplay a character over text chat than having to repeatedly stick to a gimmick - I think roleplaying my character with a on stutter on VOIP would kill me. I also dislike using voice chat more broadly, but that is personal preference.

I will say, people giving voice chat their HRP all and desperately screaming over the radio for the Normandy to hurry up and provide fire support with a horror present in their voice akin to a real soldier in combat WOULD be based as fuck, but otherwise, I think I’d just get a horrific headache; Also, mic-spammers, people saying slurs and other such common issues with voice-chat would make it nearly untenable.

I’m pretty sure this is what the SS13 UI on any server looks like to a first time player.

shoutout to lily for coming up with honestly the funniest idea for xenos in a while

I truly do have some banger quotes LOL

No, we’re not adding voice chat. It’s not viable for us to moderate.
