Basic rules for using voice chat

        

We decided to describe basic rules which will help you communicate in voice chat more effectively and comfortably in large and small teams.

1. Assign roles in the team

In the beginning it’s important to understand your role in the team, who you should listen first and who you may ignore. Understanding of your role in the team and a mission in a game will cut most of unnecessary conversations and allow your team to concentrate on the game and avoid chaos. It is very important to assigning a leader and keep to agreed hierarchy.

2. Speak and answer shortly

Brevity is the soul of wit, especially in action-games it may cost you a victory. Dozens of players need to coordinate their actions quickly and accurately, they must be able to get a full picture and build a plan of further actions from the voice communications. So be brief, speak only about important things and this will bring positive results and it will decrease a level of irritation in the team.

3. Keep calm

Relax, it's just a game, especially in cases where they are not needed. Nobody talks about the complete absence of emotion, cause we are playing to get them, but try to respond with restraint. Such behavior will give you respect from other players.

4. Maintain order and listen to the leader

Chaos in the team is a deadlock. You will have no fun, neither winning nor any other positive results. Follow the rules of your team, listen to your leader and then you will get a totally different feel of the game. You must be tough enough if you want maintain an order in your team - ban and mute works fairly effectively.

5. Respect others

In the beginning take care of your microphone, everyone should hear your voice clearly, neither too quiet nor too loud. Turn off the music and make sure that you do not create any extra noise that may disturb or annoy others.

We hope these simple rules will help your team to make communication in better and move forward team results.

Voice chat: who and how can use it

A Voice Chat - is a tool that can be used by professionals and amateurs, but statistics shows that a voice chat is mostly prefered by the players with experience. It’s the main audience of voice chats. It is quite logical because professionals have an opportunity to evaluate how important voice chat can be for team success. The main reasons that makes voice chats so important for players is a high quality support of a voice communication even for large teams, a high speed of communication within the team and an ability to use team’s rank system.

When beginners start to use a voice chat it let them learn the nuances of the game much easier when they are talking by voice with friends than painfully slowly typing on a keyboard, in the early steps period it is very important. Of course most gamers self-taught but why you need to spend so much time if you can just use a voice chat and join the team and in a few games learn much more that you expect from playing alone.

A voice chat looks like an ordinary chat for communication where there is a place for every team member, a few rooms and simple list of basic parameters. You just need to spend 10-20 minute to understand how to use a typical voice chat even if you have never had any experience with similar programs. By default most voice chats are configured so that you don’t need to change anything in the very beginning.

The most modern voice chats do not require registration for all participants, they can easily be invited to the server: only they need is a password to server and voice chat client application. For more advanced players there are opportunities to put, shortcuts to send messages to specific players and groups, configure the hierarchy, set priorities, listen to other rooms and many other things.

We recommend to have a voice chat to each player of online games, it is as necessary for the gamer as keyboard or mouse :)

If you are a natural born gamer and play online games several times a week, you need to know what is a voice chat and why it is necessary for you and all your friends, brothers in spirit.

Today gamers for voice communication prefer to use popular messengers like Skype. However, abilities of such programs significantly more modest than of those which were specially created for group voice communication in games.

So why it's worth to try a specialized voice chat?

First of all – it is specially designed for in-game player communication, not for not important features for gaming such as video chat, integration with social networks etc. Generally, specialized voice chats are very light and use a small fraction of computer memory and processor resources. In the case of network failures will manage a team to stay together and could continue playing. As it is well known, reliable communication not only can save your life, but sometimes provide a winning of the game ;)

Second - easy installation and setup. Just a couple of simple steps to download and install the voice chat on a PC. Configuration of group communication is a matter of minutes and after thеre it saves lots of time, that could be spend on the game.

Third - Voice chats designed for all types and kinds of games, so if you like gaming not only in one game you won’t need to look for a new communication solution and spend time to install and learn it.

Fourth - voice chat will save you for a need to type messages to your friends clarifying some aspects of the game to teammate or expressing emotions and desires, it is much easier to say something and continue gaming having more time to actually engage in battle.

Fifth - professional voice chats are able to show overlay windows inside the game letting you make some tweaks or adjustments during the game. So, if you need to turn off the microphone, adjust a sound level, go to another voice room, you don’t need to switch to desktop application and lose sight of the situation, you have everything under control!
