I’ve said it before and threads have been deleted but this game is like playing against the AI. There is zero chat or communication other than the radio spam. No one talks, no ‘hi have a good game’ ‘Maus by C cap’ or anything remotely handy.
Yes I sometimes play in squads and communication is better but the general chat level in this game is non existent. I’ve played online games since 1995 and this is without doubt the most sterile. Just feels like a single player game.
What…? I have the exact opposite thing happen in most of my matches… The general or even team chat will just go crazy over some goofy thing 😂. It’s partly why I haven’t quit the game. Sometimes no one will say anything and you just have to start it. Trust, if you say something super out of pocket, you will get a response 😂
Also, try playing air rb, it’s where I see the goofer stuff in the chat 💀
for real, it’s either “Attack the D point! Never! I agree! Defend the D point!” at the start, or a nice conversation about how buggy the game is on the ‘all’ chat mode
Not sure if you’re playing Ground Forces? I think plane games are a bit more chatty but GF is a ghost town.
I mean, I’ve had my fair share of ground battles with good chats. It’s not nearly as much as air rb, but they still do exist, just less common is all
The ambiance is very lackluster. Still better than before but even then that’s mostly because they figured how to increase the volume of the files that were set to an incredibly low DB.
Air RB, especially props and early jets, there is a lot more time to chat away while getting to the battle. And even in battle, for example, if you’re heading away from someone even if they’re slowly closing, you still have time to chat because they basically can’t shoot you if they’re more than 2km away. You can also be more hands off the flight controls so can type easily.
Tank games (which I don’t play often) I feel I’m basically instantly shootable by anyone that sees you (which is close to game start) and it doesn’t get much better. Also, your “hands-on” vehicle control is more continuous. So no time to type away.
Even so, the Air RB chat has certainly died off these last few years but there are still some good ones.
Because if you dare to say something more than once per minute you’re spamming according to Gaijin.
we all are chat banned
i have the opposite experience, air is silent while ground is chatty
Most of the time they simply don’t understand English. Even on US server.
Everyone is talking about boxes in my last 10 games anyway
Depends on servers, US and EU players are quite active in the chat but cant say the same for other servers especially asian and russian ones
CIS servers are also talkative
Depends on servers/modes. ARB is quite talkative, AAB is basically empty except for team coordination or when the vowel man shows up and people get angry at him.
I’m here to play WT, not to have a good time.
Back in 2014 chat used to be popular. Nowadays people are either chat banned for some random hilarious reason of just can’t type.
I have asked and wondered the same thing before. My only guess is that this game’s community are just that toxic/unsocial.
Ah yes… permanently banned for racism “random hilarious reason”.
