- @Gabrielmojo26 Can’t even use regular voice chat during loading screens. I don’t see Respawn being able to implement this.
The Warzone proximity chat clips are too funny though and would love it for apex just for the laughs. Good timing for this question! Just this week, Zylbrad arranged a private lobby with prox chat via Discord. Pretty hilarious stuff!
Given the very strict chat policies maintained in this game, I can't see it being a good idea. Player bans would be legion. I can't see them adding in more, newer ways for the player base to be toxic to each other. Clearly, Respawn has very different ideas about the parameters of acceptable chat interactions between players than does Infinity Ward.
Heck, they even introduced a mechanic for suggesting alternate ways to gloat, like emoting, when you begin teabagging a player after killing them - even though this causes difficulty for legends who use down on the D-pad for important ability functions.
Brad's video also demonstrates how such a function would facilitate and encourage teaming, as well.
- @Gabrielmojo26 When I tried warzone 2 I only heard two things in proximity chat-
Oh crap quickly followed by someone jumping in some sort of vehicle.
Or hey man wanna team up?
No thanks as far as apex goes. I don't need someone with a terrible mic ruining the audio further. No I do not like the idea of Proximity chat in Apex.
It would encourage teaming even more than already happens.
I would definitely hear more trash talk over the mike and I do not want that.
It is hard enough to hear my Randoms as it is when they even use a mic with more clutter I might as well mute all sounds in game then.
Speaking of teaming, EA has published a patent where it can detect teaming in Apex. Too lazy to make a new thread since the article contained too much technical stuff.
- @Cheese9Man I’m slightly worried that many people will get falsely banned.
Sure, go ahead, add it if you want. Makes no difference to me, I already have all voice chat set to 0% volume because off all the toxic kids yelling at me for not following them to their deaths in Apex Fragments.
- @Gabrielmojo26 I liked proximity chat back in the early days of online gaming, but have no interest in it these days. I have no desire to hear people speaking at ridiculous volumes, watching tik tok videos or tv on full blast, blaring music, screaming, barking dogs, smoke detectors, crying/screaming children, background arguments, fans blowing directly on mics etc.
Xbox party chat ftw!! I never have to listen to a soul, except for the close friends that I game with
