In game communication

[Boxxout3]

They should do it the way GTAV does it. There are sections of the voice chat you can limit your headset to.

Public - Everyone can hear you, you can hear everyone (if they have it set to this)

Freinds/Crew/Crew+Friends - You can only hear your friends and talk to your friends/crew. If your friends are using the public chat they can still hear you too.

This is better as you are talking to the people who you want to talk to, not some annoying 12 year old kid.

Once again, that's fine and dandy for talking to people you already know, but what about meeting new people? GTA:V has a horrible community, and the lack of communication goes a long way to explain that.

So let's make a wishlist?

• Voice chat with many options to enable/disable parts (public (ignore lists), friends (all or selectable), crew, party, ...)
• In-game text chat (must-have on PC)
• Tablet app text chat and messaging (useful for both consoles and PC)

I think this is one of those things the devs have to listen to and get it right before release, not after.

It looks like the best idea for voip. But still I think we should get both, text chat and voip.

Maybe we can all learn Morse code and communicate by flashing our headlights - .... . / -.-. .-. . .--

I'll do smoke signals instead, by burning rubber

If you take a look at this video of the new Ubi-soft game Watch Dogs a player on a mobile app communicates with another player in game live as the game is being played.
(see 5:44 in the video)
So maybe The Crew app will have this also, can only hope.

You can always use telepathy

You can always use telepathy

That will be hard to accomplish with all that 4G and Wifi interference. Not to mention Shape-Shifting Reptiles and Monsanto Clones.

Anyway, maybe we are doomed to use a headphone.
I still think adding a text chat is an easy solution, that will be appreciated by a lot of players. Not just PC players, consolers as well.

I made a small thread at the UbiSoft Forum to generate some momentum and have the Devs add Mirrors and Text Chat

I noted on the Ubisoft forums my opinion about a headset a few weeks back. I have a great surround sound setup and would not use a headset and have no use for a mic. I would be curious how much communication is needed in a crew. Are missions self explanatory? Do you need communication to split a crew during a mission to head to separate areas to complete it? An example, some of your crew need to go to different areas in a city in order to complete a mission. It would be hard to coordinate without some communication if that is the case. I suppose if one person is a leader and has a mic and headset, they could direct who goes where. I could listen but not chat in that sort of setup.

To be honest, I seldom raced against others in TDU2. Not a big car fanatic but I do enjoy the engineering and the design of cars. I just enjoyed collecting cars and some high speed cruising in an open world either alone or with people I just hooked up with on the road. Me, I will see if there is a decent single player game along with multiplayer. Kind of waiting to see what happens over the next few months as more info is released.
