Ok so I'm logging in and out of alts so that I can manage my inventory. That is not my gripe, I don't mind doing this.
What I am complaining about is the fact that Voip is always on as default. The fact that every time I go to or leave the Thieves guild, use a Wayshrine, enter a dungeon, exit a dungeon, or log into an alt the Voip is turned back on despite me having turned it off previously to performing any of those actions. Whats more is the fact that Voip isn't always working correctly so in situations its not available one minute the next I'm being bombarded by conversations while trying to listen to one of the npc's dialog.
It seems that it is pointless to ask players to disable their Kinect, or to mute their headsets not to mention those that are blasting their music, whistling, shouting, screaming obscenities, or think that every voice enabled game is a venue to audition for America's Worst Rapper/Singer.
Today, I had the distinct privilege of listening to another player's girlfriend/mother/wife scold him. This is but a brief example of how that conversation went:
" Oh my God (insert player's name here)! Every time you get a little bit of money you spend it on heroin!" She chastised.
" No I didn't buy heroin this time, I'm not on heroin right now, gawd!!" He exclaimed.
While it could be assumed this was a prank, I don't think this is likely as the conversation degenerates quickly and becomes very heated. If this was a prank the player and his participating other should be given awards for their performance because it was certainly convincing and incredibly well-scripted.
I or any other player should not be subjected to these type of conversations and annoyances. I think it was foolish on Zos's part to not consider this to be a potential problem, that player's could play responsibly, or be sensitive to the fact that other players might be listening in on their private conversations.
The solution that I am proposing (even if you give us chat text) is to add and option in the option menu which would allow players to switch on and off Voip at their whim and not allow Voip to come back on unless the player so chooses (because turning it off every single time that the loading process occurs is a total pain).
Thank you and please create a viable solution quickly!
