hi there have you ever use ts not sure about the vent server but with the ts server you can set the codecs to use very little badwidth at the sacrifice of a little quality,
works quite well.
as for tactics i think its easier to use tactics while using voice cmopes cos you waiste alot of time trying to explain things typing

just my opinion though

:)
 
Our TS server is of critical importance to us in my guild. I honestly dont know how some guilds downed Vashj without voice comms back in the old days.

I personally think voice communication aids progress to a big extent. Just the time a raid leader has to sit and type a message to request a battle rez on slacker X means its time + attention he is wasting typing sentences rather than focussing on doing his role to his best ability, wheter its dps / healing or tanking.
And lets face it, being a raid leader is no easy job... watching what 24 other people are doing, making critical decisions mid battle, and doing your own job.

Just using Vashj as an example again... the time I spend typing :
Can someone pls get within range so that i can pass the core to you !!! No-one is within reach, my elementals are getting out of control !

I could press one button, yell and nuke at the same time via voicecomms. I am not knocking @ guilds not using it... actually I salute them for getting as far as they do without using voicecomms.

We have one guild on our server which have NEVER used voicecomms, and they are also a BT farming guild. Suppose its what you are use to ...

Back with Vashj we tried vent... ended up being a shout fest and we wiped numerous times
 
Can't imagine not having TS :o
Find it extremely usefull, to give fast commands as raid leader, and to keep people focused on the raid. We have rules using TS, as in no chat just to waste time, silence during boss encounters (part from raid leader).
Also nice to recap tactics and to change things on the fly as we progress.
Also provides a bit of a relaxed atmosphere so that people enjoy the raids more, which is prob why we still have the same core raiders as the ones we started MC on over 3 years ago!

And arena without TS would be just sad ;)
 
heheheheheh
yeah i have used ts in gaming for about 4 years now its wonderfull :):)

Thanks, been using it forever and will only change it when they stop capping people at stupid amounts like 3gb :P


It is kind of amusing when we recruit somebody and they are in a flat panic because they joined TS for their first raid with us and nobody is there.

Recruit: Guys, erm sorry but is the TS info correct. Its empty
Random Member: See, this is why I said we should not recruit him
Stirring officer: Recruit, how difficult can it be to log onto TS
Recruit has been kicked from the guild
(5 minutes pass)
Recruit has joined the guild
Random Member: Just kidding we don't use Voice Chat
 
lol
sound fimiliar.

but the group i have been playing with its the same group that have played together for the last 4 years.and we have all met up etc.

none of the new people are allowed in certain channels of the ts server.
so luckily we dont have those probs, but they sure are funny ;)
 
ventrilo has superior voice quality but its not worth the extra bandwidth for us south africans. I would think it would be really hard to do bosses without voice chat!
 
Hi Freeek

I tend to disagree with your comment about vent having superior voice quality.
i have hosted a vent server for a short time as well as my ts server.

the codecs used for ts is actually of better quality,(i am not sure if you have built up an asterisk server before but its a linux based pabx system(which i specialise in)ts uses some of the same codecs)
like i said before depending on how the sevrer is setup, one can sacrifice a bit of sound quality to save on bandwidth( which most ts server do)

one could however set it to max quality and chow bandwidth.

but i think it boils down to personal preference on what to use the ts guys tend to want to stick to ts and vent guys to vent.

:P dont wanna star a fire here btw just thought id let you know
 
hehehehe
like i stated before it depednds on how you set your server up
::P:P:P:P
 
After my question yesterday I went and do some research on the topic.
Vent have far supperior codecs for sound to TS or TS2. So sound on Vent will be better when setting both up with the best codecs available. Vent can even run on 6.1 surround ;)
TS seems to be the most popular for bandwidth use. However developement wise ventrilo offers the best support and is actively being improved while TS is more of an abandoned project :(
 
lol flaming friday it is :P:P

erm devolopment on ts still continues btw

maybe you should go readup on codecs for VIOP(not for channel quality)(this is not meant to be offensive btw)

anyhow i think this is prob one of those intel vs AMD
or MS vs linx/unix moments
at the end of the day it boills down to preference

so i think it best if this topic was moved to another location

Err what do you think I have done?? Quality in TS vs Vent is all about Codecs, Vent have better codecs and a higer variety so excuse my ignorance but what the hell are you going on about?
 
you seem to have read the differences between codecs for vent and ts NOT VOIP CODECS used commercially btw

i am not on about anythign i edited my previous post as well
boils down to preference
 
actually guys i think this should be a thread on its own cos this has completely off the topic of the original poster
have a nice weekend guys
and werries my post was not meant to get you tied in a knot.
my appologies if it did, the "lol" was not at your comment but more for the flaming friday

Back on topic, my 5/6, 3/4 guild went to Hyjal last night for the first time. After getting to grips with the trash, we killed Rage Winterchill first try. He really is quite easy, just dont let the healers slack on frostbolted peeps and you will be fine.

We had some more issues with trash on 2nd boss (our pally tank tried tanking all the abomninations together, bad idea - they need to be tanked slightly apart). Just go look at how to vids on youtube, you will be fine then.

Medallion of the Horde > Frostbolt and you will need it for Archimonde as well. It will reduce the amount of healing required A LOT.

For the pally tank, yeah the best thing to do is let let the warriors grab the aboms and bring them to the paladin. They do a NASTY stun which leaves the paladin eating insane damage. It can be done easily once overgeared but at first let the warriors/druids grab a few of them. Still tanking them over the consecration area (maximum aoe) but just helping ease the damage. They should keep DS etc on the mobs as well to help
