sabinzie Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Seriously? An online game with no chat? I'd play a lot more if I could actually COMMUNICATE with people. And no I don't want to use voice chat. Veleno and Megadeus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronBLUEeyes Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Guess you’re SOL and have to use your mic 🎙 If you started text chatting me in a game, I’d ask you to use your mic and talk in-game. TagoKG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koger Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Because then the emotes would become useless. Rockstar wants us to buy emotes and communicate like cavemen. Megadeus, tonko and StyxTx 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatzeFive Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Could be a nice thing to have, in addition to mic.. Many players dont answer when you speak to them - then again, they dont answer messages either .. Playing in a posse with my two sons (we are all adults - sort of) and we use TS, as we find this is better than the ingame system. But we haven't switched off the RDO game voice system, so are still able to speak to other players - and especially my youngest son (20 years old) is trying to talk to any player he meets (always start a conversation with : What up bro .... And yes, we know it's wrong, as it should be "what's up bro" - but he finds it funnier to say it wrong, sometimes with a fake russian accent .. ) 9 out of 10 actually do not answer - and certainly not when the russian accent is used .. Maybe it could be easier to find new friends, or find out what peoples intentions are, if a short message could be send as a chat ?

roggek Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) I remember when a french player was using the mic in Velantine... Oh boy what a rant, and nobody understood him... He was probably commenting the "shootout" in town, beacuse the only thing we herad froom him was "mierde, mierde..." And somentimes "Mon dieu". It was like a spectators commentary on the sports on TV! So i prefer the emotes and pure silence! 1 hour ago, KatzeFive said: Could be a nice thing to have, in addition to mic..

It was like a spectators commentary on the sports on TV! Ha hah - Had French posse surrounding me in the Lagras area, a while back - It was quite spooky, as they kept speaking french to each other, and I didn't had a clue what they talked about - was it me they were hunting, or crocodiles .. Could have been nice to slip them a note (in english) to find out their intentions .. 1 hour ago, roggek said: So i prefer the emotes and pure silence! I think he should speak Danish: "Pillede rejer og smörrebröd " I will understand him! Yes, silence is good - emotes not always .. Tip your hat at a rank 5, and he immediately draws his guns and blast your head off (by mistake) .. Not many Danes I've seen in this game so far .. A few Swedes (that didn't want to talk) - and a single low rank from Norway (where we fought over his wagon with goods) He did eventually loose the fight (three against one, isn't a fair fight - he should had left the game, and tried again, before we could deliver his goods at the drop point - now he lost everything ..) We tried to talk to him, but he didn't answer, so I wrote him a message afterwards - told him, he could have left the game and tried again without loosing his goods - and that he did put up a good fight - Haven't answered it yet .. I think it could have been fun, if any of these encounters with our scandinavian neighbours could have led to some sort of cooperation.. If any of those players had answered, we could have made a posse invite, and we could help each other protect wagons - and this poor guy from Norway, could have had 1000 RDO$ in his pocket a few hours later .. But nobody speaks, so maybe a short text directly on the screen could have made the connection ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krommer Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'd use a USB keyboard with my Xbox, if stuff like this had text chat. I come from the DIKU Mud days, of computing. I tried some of the first graphical mud type games, but it was not until the pre-alpha test of Ultima Online that I saw what was going to happen; you still used text though, as you still do now in games like World of Warcraft. I stopped raiding in World of Warcraft when it was insisted that we "had to" use ventrilo/whatever and mics. It just isn't my thing, plus the mouth breathing nerd voices... So I turned off mic hearing/use in RDO nearly right away. I just find it more efficient to use text. Mic use, in these games, is nearly always "proximity." It is that way in Elder Scrolls Online and in this game. I shut it off in both games, upon hearing some rando just saying something or in one case singing along to some music they were playing with their kid. Text chat, with a keyboard on the Xbox (or even easier for computer players, of course), would be me riding up to a player and emoting and not having to use the xbox messaging thing of messaging their gamertag (which is laborious.) Though never properly trained, since I've been typing since the days of text muds I'm pretty rapid at it; a good decision I made was to learn proper placement of your fingers and at least somewhat use the early computer typing teachers. So it would be easy for me to ride up to someone and say, in text that they could see right there in game, "you should join my posse when I select you so then we could do the daily for riding in that boat I've parked along the shore over there!" It would just be a lot easier. Of course people would still use mics if they always played together, or whatever, but for random player notification it would be easier for me to type. The other guy doesn't even have to type, he'd have a clarified reason for me asking him to join the posse (without assuming we both had mics on or something and that he knew I was talking to him.)

There's also an xbox app. You'd have to look into it as I'm not an xbox user. Edited February 22, 2021 by *Lola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
