Hi there, ive noticed my issue asked in the past but was never answered with a solution.
My current issue is that no matter what server i join all the players are muted, un-muting them and then leaving the server player screen does not work, as the system automatically re-mutes all the microphones once I leave the screen.
Its saddening to have players approach me and just silence. My mic wont talk (have the setting to show visibility if im talking), and of course, thiers won’t show as the game has them auto muted. It’s killing my motivation to play the game ive just purchased.
Aw damn, thank you for the reply, and its very disheartening to see such a major bug reported on for such a long time not being fixed. A core feature of the game broke and no remedy. Ill see about submitting a refund to sony, im still in the 14 day limit. The group and I that I was going to start the game with will look for something else.
I wouldn’t say it’s a “core” feature, but it is very frustrating, given the fact that Sony often makes privacy preferences setup confusing. Many people have it set to where you can’t even message them unless you’re on their friends list, so contact with people on the game has become that much more difficult. That being said, I’ve been playing on official servers for years now with only mild frustrations. One such was a dispute with someone who constantly griefed me for some time due to a misunderstanding. He even said he tried to message me, but I blocked him. That wasn’t true. It was because of HIS settings. See, not even the players understand that their settings are messed up. While Funcom may to blame for lack of voip, Sony is to blame for everything else.
Communication in a multiplayer game is a core feature to me personally, this may differ for others as it does yourself and I can understand that sentiment. Hopefully in the future it will be remedied and ill rediscover the game.
