Hi guys, Just wanted to bring up a few points on how I find FC TS and would like to hear what others think of the service. From a command and control perspective TS makes wvw coordination so much more organised and responsive. Even though I am not a commander I would highly recommend that any active commander should use this system to assist controlling his/her troops. Recently I have had a few experiences that have been a little negative: - Music being played over TS is very distracting and off-putting (well for me). I muted this user but then I found a few days later that I couldn't hear the current commander of the map as he was still muted in TS.
- People talking about "best build gw gear", "when they were in the army they did it this way" and other general stuff not related to the current game. A little bit of this is fine but when lots of guys start talking like this it is hard to filter out any impotent things that are happening in the game. Maybe there should be a social channel added for this?
- Any general negative comments about other players - we are not all experts in this game and some of us are still learning about how wvw works.
Again I think that TS is an excellent way to quickly communicate to our team. Keep up the good work guys.
Dicko.

All good critiques.
As far as the first one goes that was started by Lukian and kind of became his calling card and helped get our "PuG TS" group together. Personally I have Lukebox muted as well because I do prefer my own jams.
That shouldn't have muted Lukian though as he does it on a separate user.

Personally I like the Lukebox so I dunno about muting it also mutes Lukian, but you can just turn the volume right down without muting if that would solve the issue.
One thing that needs mentioning over and over again is that TS is supposed to be a PG tool and ask the users to keep foul language and especially content of a sexual nature down to a minimum. There are kids and women playing that don't need to be exposed to such language. Several people I know have quit TS because of this. Please think twice what you say.
I don't mind idle chat and mostly it stops when serious business is about to happen, but commanders should just call for silence and people should be expected to be kicked from a channel if there is too much chatter going on when commanding takes place.

Yes, I agree with the bad Language as well. I've moved to a headset so the kids don't hear some of the things said. It really only a few that do it but it not needed.

Very good points dicko, this is what I was trying to say in another thread, be respectful in TS, even map chat to be honest, it IS an open forum and even though a lot of the people in TS don't talk, they sure are listening.

If guilds are in WvW it would be better to use our main BL/BG channels. ( at least if there are just a few people in them ).
This is better for communication and makes things much easier. If guilds are in their own channels I assume they are doing PvE or private events.
I seen several times commanders in WvW maps sticking to their guild channels and the main BL/BG channels only with a few people.
We want people to join TeamSpeak but if the map commander is not in the appropriate channel it makes it almost pointless to encourage people to join. They can't hear the commander and they listen to silence and leave after a while.
It sure is a different story if all the BL/BG channels are loaded.
For now and off peak hours we shouldn't fragment and stick to the main WvW channels and show people who join the benefit of TeamSpeak.

I hate it when i see a commander commanding in his own Chanel with a tag on. Instead of using the Chanel 1,2 and 3 for this. |

When you're running with a guild you don't need the tag anyway. Call target if you need to stack on the leader, tags are more for all the pugs to get an idea where they should head to get some action.

The guild channels are free fro everyone to use. If a commander is with his guild and u see he is commanding esp on a borderland go ahead and move down to that channel. And if that commander is the only person in that bl/bg he might as well tag up so they can have ppl come to him

We try to encourage people to use TS. So we shouldn't make it more difficult and track down people in different channels.
It only fragments the people who are on TS and makes communication for all more difficult and we use it to make things easier.
The main BL/BG channels serve a purpose (WwW) and for now we should use them for it.
Also it's nice for a reference to gauge how many people are in a certain BL/BG.
If you need help in a BL and you have to dig through channels to find the right people, valuable time is wasted and the arrival of the reinforcements might be too late. Last night the Garrison was saved just in the nick of time and would have been lost if we had to search through different channels.
