"kills the immersion".... I know it's not the point of the post, but.... Man, I hate that phrase. Frankly, I think Proxy chat is the one that ruins immersion. Nothing says "immersion" like an Awoken Female Hunter talking like Barry White, or Human Titan whose voice is cracking. Now, my question: Does anybody know how complicated it is to add a proxy chat option to a game? Wouldn't they need to test the distance proxy chat would work, plus the quality of the crappiest headset to avoid people being muted on principle of bad quality? Even with an option, it's still 7 seconds or so to turn off or mute, which is 7-12 seconds of time you could be getting back into the fight.
