QOL: Blocking Volumes: Block Voice Chat Option

Suggestions Condo Suggestions
1

This should be easy enough as it doesn’t require adding anew item to the game.

I proposed the Blocking Volume gets a new toggle added: Voice Chat.

People inside the volume are unable to use voice chat, and IDEALLY they also wouldn’t hear any voice chat from outside of the volume.

Scenarios this would be useful:

  • People watching TV in the condo media room, while others are in the next room having a conversation.
  • Larger gathering areas with many people (People in the kitchen’s chat won’t overlap people outside on the deck).
  • Basically every theater condo.
  • Condos that like super realistic RP (Private meetings, confessionals, etc.)

I’m sure people could find many uses for this.

This would also be good to prevent voices from bleeding across rooms so you can hear your friends if you’re in the same room but not the two people talking about Path of Exile in the next room.

Absolutely does my head in when you and your friends are watching a video on a media player while in a public condo, and all the *randos do is gatecrash to obstruct visibility of the media player and start shit talking over the video, almost as if they have zero netiquette

I feel strongly enough that this is needed that I’m bumping it back up again. I get you can mute people, but it shouldn’t be on all of my other guests to deal with the one or two assholes that join and can’t follow the rules. If I’m not around to condo mute them, then all the other players need to manually mute the person, which newer players might not know how to do, and just leave the condo instead. Also, condo voice muting doesn’t persist, so even if they get muted, they can leave and rejoin again and it’s wiped off them.

This is now kind of possible using the new Location Volume:

while we’re at it- it’d be nice to have the option to mute text chat as well.
