I know one of my guildmates prefers vent, but holy shit I cannot use that program anymore, the UI is just terrible and the sound quality is really meh as well, it's not the worst voice program out there, but it's close to the bottom for me.
Also, Asmo, I want to do Alex SO BADLY, the music is so good 
Unfortunately, the item level requirements is 170 and I'm only at 161....I'm also sad I'm not going to be able to cap my ESO this week, especially when it takes 2 weeks of capping it to get the weapon, then another 2 weeks for chest or legs, everything else is just over a week or just under....
Oh, and this is MSQ spoilers for those who havent gotten to 50 and played through it, but is directed at Asmo
+ Show Spoiler +Did you watch the cutscenes is Praetorium and Castrum Meridium or did you skip and play the fights? Most people that run that are doing so because of the MSQ roulette, so they just rush through it, and because of item levels jumping, most of the people running them are in full ironworks (120) or the 115 NQ/HQ gear from HW content so most of the fights are trivial, hell the other day we 5 manned 3/5ths of Praetorium and only grabbed the other 3 players for Ultima/Lahabrea, lol
@Frolo, It was also dropped from what I understand? I think their website hasnt been updated since 07 or something, so unless someone made some open source updates to it, it's just fallen behind every other program is terms of sound quality/accessibility.

Vent also basically requires you to use PtT because it has by far the worse voice detection of any of the major options currently available.

I really keep wanting to get into an mmo but then I just get burnt out and quit. got to 45 in SWTOR last summer, tried ESO this summer got to like 22 and just ran out of effort I'm willing to put in. I don't want to keep quitting but I I just seem to

I know. I can't wait to get to the Heavensward content because so much of that is amazing. I got to go to a panel at PAX on the creation of the music for the Heavensward Primals, and all of it was great. We all did an Alexander "Metal" singalong too; great fun.
+ Show Spoiler [FFXIV MSQ] +I had my friends take me through it with a light party instead of the full.

I'm also spoiled because one of my friends just bought me full i115 gear for my 50 MNK, which should get me through a decent amount of stuff, especially at my rate of play.

I've got no preference really for voice chat stuff, I just end up using whatever the fuck the people I'm with at the time use. I think at one point I literally had 5-6 different programs, and even right now I have Vent, Curse, TS, Mumble I think still? and Skype if you wanna count that lol.

Rofl. yeah, those fights are a breeze, even synched at 50.
And if you were on Jenova, or I end up moving servers since it's a small/med-pop one, I could buy you stuff 
And you have a long ass way to go before you get to HW, it took me almost a week to get through 2.05-2.55 I think. And HW MSQ is amazing, I loved it. Especially the end, and don't worry, SE learned from the hot mess that was Praetorium/CM

I completely forgot about HOW FUCKING AWFUL that was, I blocked it. PtT is so bad, I hate having to use that, especially in MMOs or MOBAs. I cant handle that when I end up with warrior tanks 60% of the time who take tons of damage

Yeah as far as voice chat goes, I just use what other people use.
10 years ago Ventrillo was my favorite, but that was back when it and teamspeak were the only options. Now it's notsogreat.

Yes but Push-to-Talk is awesome and I don't see why people would use anything else.

I have so many things I want to say about that game, but I'll just say we played like dogshit in first half.
Also, never been this d runk on a fucking monday.

i'm in this boat, i can't stand it when people don't use PTT.
you need a mouse with buttons on the side but i'd rather have that than listen to people breathe or eat all day.

Anyone else a skype gamer?

I am actually kind of guilty. I use Left Control, which also is a hotkey for LoL so I tend to "push" more than I should.

That only happens when the software you're on has shitty voice detection or people don't configure it properly.

Holy shit I really want to do a write up for that D&D session but it'll have to wait. Let's just say it involved threesomes, a dead hooker, and a big sack of stolen money.

Usually. I hate Push to talk, but also realize why it's a good thing for large groups.

OK so I think Tactics Ogre is fine (it actually emulates a LOT better on my tablet presumably due to native graphics instead of porting from PSX). I think I'll try to play it out. I am only a few levels in and I can already feel the "micro" element of the game with learning skills and stuff, but I think I can handle it for the most part.
I did, however, realize there are a few other interesting games on PSP, in no particular order (not saying they are good, in fact I think some of them are going to suck):
1. Crisis Core FF7
2. Fate Extra
3. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
4. Blazing Souls
5. Ragnarok Tactics
6. Hatsune Miku
7. Dead or Alive Paradise
Unfortunately playing on a tablet is kind of weird and there is no way I can play any platformers or things like Dissidia. But I might be able to manage with some of these above. I will report back.
Another consideration if I am really bored is to play the PSP version of Yggdra Union. But after beating the GBA version like twice I think I'll probably beat the PSP version by rolling my face over it.

Persona 3 Portable
Trails in the Sky is the best JRPG on the system (edging out P3P because P3P is just a remake).

Then go see if Blaze Union or Gloria Union have translation patches yet.

I considered Persona. It has never interested me by much to be perfectly honest.

Yeah, pretty much everyone from eu uses voice detection afaik, and we never seem to have problems with people making too much/too little noise unless someone is being an idiot

I am definitely favouring Teamspeak, but a lot of players in MMOs seem to prefer Mumble because they have an overlay for games and you can actually see who is talking.
Isn't that what the overwolf thingy does for TS?
