Pfft, ditch the TS, get mumble instead.

Isn't Mumble shit?

[Tydeus]

Isn't Mumble shit?

If you mean "the shit", then yes.

It has the best quality, fastest transmit speed, cheapest servers, and best text-to-speech. The first two are the important ones for me and coincidentally, the ones that uninformed people generally say otherwise about. Mumble can be somewhat hard to set-up properly(you have to actually spend 2 minutes in setup), it's true, and if not configured properly you can get glitchy sound effects. There is a misconception where people believe their ping is the time it takes for them and their friends to hear what you say. That's the time it takes for their computers to receive the packets. Additional delays like encoding are done which cause others to hear what you say, significantly later than when their computer receives the packets. Ventrilo and TS consistently play sounds 300+ ms after you receive the packets, my mumble server is set up to only have a 10 ms delay. For gaming, the less delay you have, the better.

I have heard simular things, never used it though. Don't they also have the overlay or w/e ingame?

[Tydeus]

Yeah, mumble also has that feature, as well as other nifty things. If your game supports it, you can get positional sound based upon where people are located in game. So you can have mumble set up where you only hear the relevant things, based upon proximity in game.

As someone who's used mumble quite a bit for a different gaming community, it's easily the best VOIP out there.

That said it's just flat out easier to get everyone in teamspeak for a strat battle.

Yeah, I mean I have heard good things about it, but don't even have it installed on my computer because I don't know anyone that uses it.

[Tydeus]

Doesn't LL use it? dfc used mumble back in the day, originally hero party was also using my mumble server. I think there's one more group for na that use(d) it. But yeah, as Xol said, it's just easy to get everyone on the same voip and most people already have TS.

Donation incoming. God bless student loans UK.

[Thomek]

Nditions down again, any news as of why and whats up with it?

[Casimir]

Server is closed. It may come back in the future but for now it is gone.

[tizzango]

GET THESE FUCKING TEMPLARS OUT OF OUR TEAMSPEAK.

I'm joking, I like the Templars.. besides most of them.

DOUBLE JOKE.

but seriously..

...get them out.

[Casimir]

We're to sexy and it makes you upset, I understand.
