Voice Chat

Yeah we've tried Skype, works fairly well until you're playing with someone who has a brick from the 90's and calls it a computer. Then he lags beyond belief, lagging everyone else.


So its a cute idea that they added into the game, but I suppose Blizzard has more important things to fix than the voice chat plugin.

I consider voice chat more than a cute idea. I have no desire to do 2v2 without it. And it is very important addition to FFA games with friends. Listening to my friends taunt each other is the best part of FFA.

Voice chat is a must have feature in my opinion and I hope we don't have to work around the system like we have in WoW for years.

Oh... and a little beta rant: I wish Blizzard would post a list of "known issues". I had the rank reset issue for weeks and now chat doesn't work. I don't post the problems on the forums because it seems so common that Blizzard must already know. But maybe I should post? What is the point of beta if I ignore a problem and assume someone else is dealing with it?

I'm actually a big fan of using Skype in game, but it could be kind of a pain in the a**...

I use a cool application (free) named Overwolf that lets you use Skype (and other cool stuff like in-game browser) with your game.
