Blizzard Voice ab sofort für alle Spieler verfügbar

Quelle: MMOZone

Kennt jemand noch die alte Sprachfunktion in World of Warcraft selber? Nein? War auch ein gigantischer Flopp, den eigentlich niemand genutzt hat, fast alle Spieler wichen auf Drittprogramme wie Teamspeak aus.

Blizzard Voice

Blizzard hat den Battle.net Client nun mit dem Feature „Blizzard Voice““ erweitert. Dort könnt Ihr Chatgruppen erstellen und Euch untereinander unterhalten, fast wie in Teamspeak. Um zu den Einstellungen zu gelangen klickt Ihr im Battle.net Client auf Optionen, dann auf Spieleinstellungen und dann auf Voicechat.

Dort habt Ihr dann die Möglichkeit das Ausgabe- und Eingabegerät zu bestimmen, Euer Mikrofon zu testen, Sprachaktivierung oder Push-to-Talk festzulegen und eine Taste für das Stummschalten zuzuweisen.
