Voice Communication (for gamers!)

(1/3) > >>

nihilist:
So, we've had some talk about playing Guild Wars, etc.  Some of the more hardcore gamers out there will have a mic on their desk, and can use it for voice communication.  I've been doing this for about seven years now, and cannot play without it.  If you want to join in the fun (and have the requisite mic), here's what to do.

1) Download Ventrilo
2) Install it
3) Create a user profile
4) Create a server profile with the following information (no password required):
Hostname: vent.wsbw.net
Port: 3784
5) To hop in the Guild Wars channel, you'll be prompted for a password.  'mulenuts' (minus the quotes) is the way to go.

Note:  Click the 'setup' button, then click on the 'Global' tab.  Make sure 'check for new version' is UNCHECKED.  Or you'll continually get a harassing message.

Another note:  My Vent name is 'Mike L'.

ElRodente:
or there's skype


or teamspeak

nihilist:
Skype isn't really meant for this.  And TeamSpeak doesn't have nice quality compared to Vent.

McTaggart:
I much prefer Teamspeak. Vent makes me lag like a paralysed donkey with no legs.

Jenno:
What kind of bandwidth do you need to be sitting on for ventrilo to work nicely?
