Ventrillo for Hivesworkshop

[Geazergimli2]

Yo, today while i was taking a shower... i was thinking about random things for some reason... and all the sudden pops the hivesworkshop... and im just thinking to my self... "man, what if there was ventrilo for the hive," so now i am here... lol (i got A.D.D!), but wouldn't it be cool though? im pretty sure this isn't the first time someone posted this, and i dont even know if its against the rules... but still.... it would pretty pretty ballin.....! hehe

 

[En_Fuego]

I use ventrilo for my clan. It'd be a pain to have 2 at the same time.

I also don't think there's enough activity here.

 

[Dr Super Good]

There is already some form of voice chat server occasionally used by members of this site.

 

[Geazergimli2]

hmm... i really think it would be cool if Ralle or a moderator to set up a ventrill server hehe

 

[Hawkwing]

We have/had TeamSpeak, but nobody ever went on it.. Though I don't think the login information was made very public.

 

[Samuraid]

Teamspeak 3 > Ventrilo, anyway.

 

[Deathcom3s]

I doubt enough people would use it on a regular basis to make it worthwhile.

 

[Geazergimli2]

really??? hmm i would think that if there was an option on this website (like on top left of this website - forums, models, etc.) that had ventrilo information... it could work out

 

[Deathcom3s]

I still have my doubts.

If thats what you honestly think. EPIC FAIL

 

[thelifelessone]

Steam is much better than Ventrilo, and TeamSpeak.

Yea but steam is specific to steam games........... >_>

 

[En_Fuego]

they're all the same thing...

Versus Teamspeak 2, Ventrilo was far better quality.

However, with the advent of Teamspeak 3, any advantage Vent had completely dissolved.
At this point, it's pretty much:
Good voice quality with an outdated interface and inflexible server daemon (Vent)
versus
Good voice quality with a clean and organized user interface and efficient/flexible server daemon (TS3).

At the end of the day, Hive doesn't really need either one at this point.

We had a teamspeak server for hive, but most of the people that used it disliked it due to the strict moderation and how private it was, so those users made their own/moved and then theirs shutdown overtime and then overall no one really cared anymore.

That explains why i think your a nut. Lol. I didnt know there was a TS3... Never tried it, never heard of it. I apologize

 

[Deathcom3s]

Perhaps you should do a little research before you outright call someone an idiot.

I believe the general consensus is that a TS/Vent server is not practical.

 

[Geazergimli2]

U guys are all taking this off topic... wth lol hehe

 

[thelifelessone]

Yea but steam is specific to steam games........... >_>

And yet, it also has chats, voice chatting, private chats, clans, and more.

So does Ventrilo...I don't get your point.

You cannot buy a steam voice server >_> if your playing a Steam games such as TF2 or CSS or G-MOD then you can use the chat because its built in... WC3 is not a steam game.

Soo... if your just saying that steam is better, ofc it is, but it has nothing to do with our topic.

 

[Just_Spectating]

this is just a forum

we don't need to make it a type of lifestyle
even chat seems a little redundant

Also very true but... voice chat could be used for more than social. Map makers could use it to there advantage and stuff. Recruitment. Co-op map making. It could help for various different reasons.

 

[En_Fuego]

The only situation I would see ventrilo as being remotely useful is if we were all to game together, which never happens due to all us inactive bastards.

 

[Just_Spectating]

a lot of users speak different languages as well

 

[Numerion]

Also, we could use the server when the THW is down (everyone knows that , when you need something fast , you click and ... 500 ...) I guess it could work, but...theoretically (pretty much it would get abandoned fast >.>)

(Am I the only one who noticed ? "Ventrillo for Hivesworkshop")

 

[Geazergimli2]

ive never seen anyone here speak anything but english lol

 

[Hawkwing]

ive never seen anyone here speak anything but english lol

That's because there's rules against it. There used to be a fair amount who would VM each other in other languages.

 

[Geazergimli2]

Well if everyone speaks english here... then everyone would have to speak english on ventrilo

 

[Just_Spectating]

a lot of people use translators

 

[Numerion]

a lot of people can only type in english, because they can't speak fluently ;} (sometimes I have to look up a certain word in english, because I just don't know them all)

 

[Just_Spectating]

exactrly.

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I prefer Skype, honestly.

 

[Ralle]

We used to have TeamSpeak but after moving to the new server I didn't bother installing it. I also don't wanna bloat the server as it already has problems in some way.

 

[Dejavuu]

I prefer Skype, honestly.

Agreed, Skype>Teamspeak 3, Ventrilo and whatever there may be :3

 

[Squidle]

Teamspeak is old nobody uses it now days its all about vent/ventrilo sound quality is 100x better IMO its easy to use and doesn't cause players to lag out from what I heard teamspeak made people lag on slow connections from what I heard although I never had a problem with it but I highly recommend ventrilo over teamspeak any day... Everyone is still going to use ventrilo over teamspeak, also teamspeak 3 is complicated hardly anyone uses it even some of the hosting sites say they get bad feedback on teamspeak 3.

That is so not true. I was part of a group and they had a ventrilo server. It was easy to use, but it lagged so badly. Sometimes, I pressed the key and had to wait for 3 seconds to be able to talk. And sometimes, people say something and you actually hear it more then 10 seconds later. I thought it was fine, better than TeamSpeak. But, we moved to a TeamSpeak 3 server. The sound was very weird, but we had to get used to it. A few hours later, the sound was completely normal. Besides, there was no lag at all. It was great, more detailed. You could add groups and icons to people's name and shiz. It has so many extra's.
But, later, we moved back to Vetrilo. And trust me, if you're used to TS3, ventrilo really sucks.

 

[En_Fuego]

In all honesty, the "lag" you experience doesn't really come from the program itself, more like the server you connect to.

 

[Don-Para-]

This isn't a discussion about which chat program is better >>

 

[En_Fuego]

It's not a discussion of anything since Ralle posted...I'm just spamming a point to that guy who spammed his point.

That is true plus with Steam if you don't have a good computer it screws with it more and so does skype...
