Hey guys,
I have noticed that most all the servers do not have VOIP enabled so I am enabling it on the ones I run so maybe you all can get some better teamwork going (servers are named Midnightgaming.net + VOIP). It seems most ppl just run straight into the fight one by one and don’t coordinate much or team up. Maybe this will help.
Happy fragging,
Midnight
Thank you for doing this. Still need Splash Damage to fix default VOIP volume being -6, but it helps that admins are turning it on for those who have fixed it in their cfg.
So we know SD’s take on voip and disabling it by default, but why do server admins not change it? I’ve never ran a server before, but if I did, I doubt I’d just run the defaults no matter what the game is. I’d probably look at settings I like and set it as such.
So how come so few servers are bothering to turn it on. I can’t believe they don’t know it’s off. Again, if someone is going through the bother to set up a server, I’d think they’d know what the basic defaults are.
For some reason Brink attracts the most retarded of server admins. Things like full 35 seconds between rounds, no vote kick or map vote enabled, VOIP off except in fireteams, etc.
Perhaps one can blame the default settings to some extent, but still… A person RUNNING a server should be smart enough to look at the config before throwing it up online.
One server out there is a true travesty, NYC / DDD Armageddon or whatever… That server has all the faults mentioned above PLUS you can’t even talk in public chat via text… team only. It’s laughable. For some reason that server fills up all the time too. I just don’t bother playing there anymore.
