Update on Top Secret Information Leak from eGO Private! Please Read!

I would but it's 1/20 times that any1 else is actually on a speex channel, pointless to get on at all. All i get is more lag when I log on. :(

There's actually an easy solution for that, but I know you won't want to hear it.

GET A REAL COMPUTER, NOT A MAC!

Seriously speaking though, there are often people in the Speex room (for us, Room 3, if I remember right). The typical primetime problem is this: Room 4 is rated R, so it's where most of the action is. Rooms 1-2 are used because they're havens from the shenanigans of Room 4. Room 3 gets stuck in the middle.

Since people keep complaining about this in the Drop Box, I'll say it once and for all: there are no plans to switch to Speex from GSM in the near future. Yes, everybody could use Speex and be able to talk in any room. But the sound quality is very poor, and to pay for a 300-man server and not fully use it because a small group (what, 8% typically?) doesn't have optimal hardware isn't quite fair to the majority. When we need to pull a Mac user into the Leadership room, we always have to set up a new channel and go in there. The Speex rooms were set up to be accommodating; hop into a room, and people will join it.

Sometimes I feel like rooms get very quiet when I join them...that's not how it's supposed to be. Just because my name, C-Whit's, or anyone else's appears at the top of the channel doesn't mean that people need to be shy.

And yes, Blasphemy, I thought it was brilliant to post a Vent comment about coming into Vent as well... ;)
 
i allways try to talk with you jeod if you on same channel on vent and play same server :P

I am not complaining, nor am I asking or implying that you change any of the channels, I am simply stating the reason of which why I do not get on. I apologize if I made myself sound like I was complaining as that was not my intent.

P.S. Nothing on the face of this earth could make me switch back to WinBlow. The mental state that put me in :facewall: made me want to :chair:

Well... I think I speak from personal experience when we see Greenlight, or C-Whit or similar names in our Vent channel lots of us get worse! haha

Didn't assume that, you're fine. I just wanted to explain the Speex problem so that DoD guys aren't putting in those Drop Box complaints every 3 weeks...and of course take advantage of an easy shot at the minority of Mac users, that's all.

;)

Remember, when events are going on, you SHOULD be in Vent for the password, at the very least, if not staying for more!
 
I have to mute vent while in-game. It annoys the poopy out of me. But otherwise this is one of the most useful tools at our finger tips.

I have a few people in my steam friends list that will message m e when they have an issue (which is 100% okay), but I am honestly almost always signed into steam (literally 24hours a day as I leave my comp on) and am not always actually available.

This is where vent comes in handy! Join up kiddos!

I am a firm believer that anyone who has issues with Windows systems are encountering an extreme case of operator error. I have ran multiple Windows systems on all the past and present versions and still HAVE NO ISSUES EVER.

I guess we all can't watch what websites/applications and other environmental issues we may encounter! :P
 
I am really a very big fan of this. I am newer here, and don't know a whole lot of people...any really. I want to get to know people and make friendships while gaming. In my last group, they used TeamSpeak...and it was REQUIRED. I was a bit taken back when I noticed the incredibly large size of this group....and such littel Vent activity.

I am on board jeod! When I am gaming on our servers - I will be in Vent. Looking forward to getting to know you all soon!
