<div class="IPBDescription">Give us the mute mic option asap</div>Game + server I was on today ruined by troll who was mic spamming. Nothing tells us who is using the mic, there is no mute mic option, only way is to mute all sounds and that sucks.

Please UWE can you add this soon? There aren't many servers to choose from so when one is ruined by a troll abusing the lack of aforementioned features its quite serious.

    Also, VOIP delay needs tweaking :P Usually receive voice about 10 seconds after they've said it.

    I don't care about that I just care about not hearing over the mic what sounds like a pedo demon.

    Epic server yes?

    Joined for about 1 minute, quit the game afterwards.

    To be honest mics can be kind of annoying anyway, due to bad quality or just annoying people using them, while they have their uses I would often rather turn them off.

    Yes it was the "Epic" 21 player server.

    Generally I find mics useful for coordinating teamwork. Even the 10 year old in the comm chair squeaking out orders was amusing.

    Also, having some indicator who is talking would be nice.

    Yeah, that was hella annoying.

    On a side note, don't do it for the love of god, do it for us, the players. We exist, see?

    Just had a mic spammer in the last game I played. Really annoying.

    Kind of a good sign though because it shows that NS2 is getting popular and attracting the trolls :P

    Yepp the admin said he could kick the player if he knew which one it was, but none of us can know so the whole thing is a farce.

    At first I read he thread title and just chuckled. But then I remembered that my last attempt at a game cast was ruined by a mic spammer, and raged a little inside.

    At this point I would probably trade my left nut (but not right) for mic ID + Mute. Another ruined cast and it might be both!

    Yeah initially UWE should add an on/off mute mic in options. And later add an indicator to see who speaks and who does not speak, to simply kick/ban if needed.

    You know who's the admin on EPIC server ?

    Was on a server the other night where some germans were spamming, opened the options screen, expected an option to disable voice comms, didn't see it, wasn't very happy. :(

    It's moments like these you really appreciate being able to mute/disable voice comms.

    Can't you use steam settings -> voice and down the volume to mute. Or isn't this real time ingame...

    I feel like all games need to have an auto mute option. If you are talking for more than 30 seconds you should just get muted for like 5 minutes.

    Also I like the system Bungie is using now and it would be interesting if we could do it with Steam ID's. In case anyone doesn't know how this works I'll explain it and someone can correct me if I'm not explaining it correctly.

    Lets say Noobasaur is spamming the microphone entirely too much. So a whole bunch of his teammates mute him. Then Noobasaur goes into a nother game, same thing, same results more people muting him.

    Before you know it a certain number of people have muted Noobasaur and this happens to exceed a threshold set by the master server somewhere. Now whenever Noobasaur joins a game he is automatically muted and people have to unmute him to hear him.

    what ive petitioned for is a mic volume slider, i think right now every ones mic is too loud compared to the ingame sounds, and so definitely in the case of someone being annoying u should be able to identify them and mute or kick them from the server.
