Re: LEGEND SELECT PHASE design flaw - Text Message !

ok, disappointed not get any responses, as if no one was aware of this design.

I would like to add that, there is a issue with voice communication system of Apex Legends, those who had their mic working perfectly would say, no. mic in Apex Legends is fine, but if a god would make an investigation on all Apex players on the planet, it will show, at least 50% of the players can't get their mic working in Apex Legends, no matter what did they do with the settings in Windows.

so, this text message design issue have to be emphasized.

Yes, very funny.
I will try to make another topic on this at future.
It is better to have the text you typed during LEGEND SELECTION PHASE being kept than disappear.
You want to type something, you didn't finish the sentence, then everything disappeared. WHY IS THAT ??????
You didn't finish typing, you could keep typing, to finish your sentence after LEGEND SELECTION PHASE

@ZD4000 When your a player like me who refuses to use your mic, typing when your knocked down is important but idk how many times I tried typing that someone was self resing or someone was healing/hiding etc but it got deleted so I had to retype and by then it was too late sometimes it even happened more than once... also if your someone like me that types way too much it messes up

ok
so anyway why is it most people's mic just doesn't work in Apex Legends ?
Does Apex Legends has a higher requirement for your Mic ?

Apex's mic support is lacking in a number of important ways;
First and foremost the bitrate is very low and consequently the quality is atrocious.
Secondly the open mic activation logic is very primitive:
It has no/inadequate buffering, so you get clipping on the lead-in.
The volume activation is a simple threshold, without any logic to filter out momentary clicks/pops.
Finally, there's no open mic automatic calibration, leading to many having their settings incorrectly tuned.
I'd love it if respawn just embraced the need for decent 3rd party chat tools, and included integration for discord, teamspeak, etc.
