    I am tired of being a builder and having someone come in and do stupid crap... or have someone from the other team show up with a drill and having to rely on a small text chat box down in the corner as my only means of communication. I request some sort of voice communication be added to better coordinate with my team.

    Also, please don't let new people play as a builder until they have like ten hours as a knight.

    Voice communication won't work. Simply because it never works in war games.
    If you have a team you play with, go on teamspeak or skype.

    Also, some people can't play as a knight so they become a builder and try to help the team.

    taunts would be useful.

    Use Siri text-to-speech!!!

    "SIRI, say: My team is a bunch of faggots"
    "I'm sorry, did you say "I bean is a lunch of maggots?"
    "NO, SIRI! YOU SUCK!"

    If people get too riled up about means of communication, someone has made a thread about re-implementing taunts into KAG.

    Ok, now on to this threads topic, Voice Chat
    Adding voice chat to in game KAG would be a mess, and probably one of the most annoying things added too.

    If you really need to talk, like kilmanio said:

    I'd rather have the old taunt system back with 2 subcategories: Insults and Commands.

    Voice would be rather annoying, considering there will probably be people that are 12 complaining about how they die too much, Knights OP, Archers OP, etc., etc....

    Why was the old taunt system removed?

    This isn't so much about competitive playing it's about *co-operative* playing, and I feel that it could be implemented as a server side option that is left up to the server Admins to decide if they wish to support it or not.

    To be honest, I really don't want to walk on to a server and be forced to hear people's voices that I really don't want to hear.

    I agree that communication needs to be better, but in a controlled form that lets me simply define blueprints of buildings or formations, but without the requirement to use the chat system. I have no interest in voice chat since all people in voice chat tend to offend each other.

    From a technical standpoint, this would be incredibly hard, because the game was not coded to handle VoIP, so it would be awkward, it would also increase lag because of the necessary extra communication between Client and Server, which would mean that the server would need optimization. Also, I don't want to hear 10 year old kids everywhere, and use TS3 or Mumble, it's a dedicated VoIP tool, and they both work well.

    Agreed if your team really wants to communicate specifically by voice they will use TS or Skype. Would you rather lag and be able to tell a bad builder to move, or have good quality game play and maybe type a few words.
