Personally, one of the main reasons I love this game so much is the ping system.
I want to avoid playing with a mic on in any always on setting, since I have a serious lung illness, and i'm plagued by a persistent and raw cough, and occasional bouts of suffocation, which make chatting unappealing.
I'd have to repeatedly pull the microphone out of my controller, which also cuts off the game audio from my headphones.
Id probably use mic if I was on PC tho, when you could just set a push-to-talk keybind. On console it's always on, or off altogether, so I don't play with mic.

I'm really sad to find you're unwell and wish you every strength in your recovery. I think you and many others show a lot of character, and not a little bit of audacity, in defying illness to play games and contribute positively. Good on you! :eahigh_file:❤️
I was just thinking when I read your post that there may be a voice app or mic with a feature where your voice is muted when it goes above a specified decibel range. 🤔 Which could give you more confidence that your coughing is being muted when you play. Which I'm sure, being a considerate person as you undoubtedly are, that you would possibly be concerned about. 🤔

I'll look into that, but 3rd party programs would only be useful when playing with friends 🙂
For now, ping is fortunately good enough to play with random team mates :eahigh_file:

Yeah...like I mentioned...some players are not able to use their mic...I guess you have a legit reason. I set my in game messages to voice. too distracting to read when I'm in a fight.
