For the love of God, include proximity chat in the final release
I thought that the whole squading up feature was going to be seamless but it really isn't. You can't talk with anybody that isn't in your fireteam.
And most of the time, people DO NOT accept your invite. You know what the dumbest part about all this is? You have to join a fireteam by going through the psn invite system. That is so dumb because it takes time to load up and send somebody an invite. And when people recieve the invitation, they probably don't know it is for a fire team and probably think someone is inviting them to join another game.
So there are 2 things I'd like to see in the final release.
[b]1. Proximity chat.[/b] You had it in Halo 2 ten years ago, you can do it again today. Have it on by default. Make it easy to instantly mute annoying kids if one happens to wander into your area.
2. Better and less clunky squad up options. The invite should be very clear that it is for fireteaming and the person's name and character who sent it should be highlighted on the screen. Also, it would be nice to be able to squad up with someone from a distance like during that huge raid battle with the giant tank.

Edited by SoloPopo: 6/15/2014 2:05:16 AMProximity chat is absolutely necessary for Destiny to succeed as an "MMO." Every person I run up to does nothing but dance, wave, and point in a desperate attempt at communication. It's ridiculous and kills the immersion. There should be an option to mute a player when you hover your cross-hair on their bodies, and proximity chat should be on by default. I was enormously disappointed discovering, after trying to talk to the first people I met for an hour, that there is no way to communicate unless you are teamed up. What's the point of the other players even being in the world if you can't interact with them in meaningful ways? Common Bungie, don't let something so small hinder a game so great.

This is a thread that bungie definitely has to see. Whats the point of having people pop up near you if you cant talk to them? If they want to have this, they could simply make it an option. It's almost as if bungie is treating us like gamers whop need our ears shielded from harsh words. We're niot kids. I think the bungie/destiny community is mature enough to handle itself.

Anyone in the thread saying "this is a dumb idea" or "no plz I don't want to hear kids screaming" are totally bs. Options shouldn't be rolled out ever. There are plenty of reasons why would you want it. Me personally would turn it off for free roaming and such but the experiences you can have for a hard public event can be fun. On the subject, [b]partying[/b] up in the Alpha with pugs (pickup groups basically) [b]sucks[/b] and this should be fixed for beta/release for sure. And I'm not even talking free roaming but in the Tower. Don't get me wrong but after release I expect raids to be actually challenging and if I don't have friends online I expect to find people in the same level as I am with experience in such raid/strike to have a smooth run. Also, I understand its Alpha but [b]why no map-chat in the Tower?[/b] I think Bungie confirmed no trading for release but still why don't we have map-chat in the social hub of the game? Everyone who played any MMO knows this is huge. Most of the time people spent time linking their beautiful gear/weapons or talking about football or whatever but it also can help newcomers so much.

Edited by SkilPhil: 6/15/2014 12:26:40 AMI agree, it was kind of a bummer they took out certain chat options for such a social game. I think proximity chat that can be turned on and off by the player would be awesome.

Halo2 was great for chat. If you didn't have your mic in, you got bullied. If you did have it in, you got bullied. If you played terrible you got bullied. If you played great, you got bullied even more. Them days were so much fun... Nowadays, playing solo, you might as well be playing against AI.

I agree. What's the point of playing if you can't have conversation with other fireteams during public events? That's just stupid. As for the tower, we should be able to talk with others, at least to an extent. The idea of Live use to be about socializing. If I can't speak with people in the the hub of the game, then what are we doing? Yeah, people can be annoying. Mute them. If many of us survived Halo 2 so can you. I'm tired of anti-social people...being antisocial on video games. Bungie certainly shouldn't base their interactive system's default off of these people.

Love this idea and I posted a comment about it (amongst other players) on the Alpha feedback forum. A lot of people want this.
-
This is something I brought up a while ago.. But yeah, if not in the Tower at least while you're in Patrol mode (explore), it would be really useful.. especially once we get to harder areas in the full game.

I agree 1000%, every PS4 comes with that shitty little mic, it's something. I=

1 ReplyYou can use R3, right thumb stick, to highlight players and then send a message but a small proxy chat or maybe while you are "R3-ing" a player voice is enabled.

U dont have to go by psn. Theres an option in your menu. Ps4 comes with a mic.
-
It does seem a little clunky to party up with a fire team. Though it is nice to see who and what is inviting you to party up.

agree

Shorter proximity to reduce chat spamming (to all you who are against it)

This would be pretty awesome.

6 RepliesEdited by Rain Drop: 6/14/2014 9:42:00 PMthere are lots of options for buttons to use for a push to talk feature for proxy chat the easist would be the down dpad is anyone going to loose enjoyment from the game if you cant sit

alpha.bungie.net is the place to leave feedback

Totally agree. Add it back!

I understand what you mean, though. Communication is poor on consoles unlike on PC MMORPGs. Something needs to happen here. Been looking for a Fireteam for hours to do the instanced content with... Hope some 6-12 Guardian instances will be introduced as well.
