Megaphone should be audible even to people in party chat.

  • Please make it so that when using the mega-phone people from other crews can hear it even in party chat. Switching between party/game is cumbersome on Xbox this would be a nice way to communicate with other crews quickly.

  • @marlonngrando another no brainer. Please Rare

  • @marlonngrando
    Party chat is a completely separate Microsoft service run on completely separate servers that Rare has no control of.

  • @little-squash

    They can make it part of the game sound effects though, which you can hear while in party chat, which Rare can control.

  • No they can't, it breaks privacy settings.

  • Hahaha
    No
    Please no
    If I'm in party chat it's BECAUSE I don't want to hear or be heard by other players

    I think it’s already like that, when I am in party chat I can hear the player voices from the game, I don’t know if I changed an option in the settings but probably

    Microsoft won't allow it because privacy.

  • Just curious, how is microsoft not breaking the privacy setting with PC's users? They are using xbox game chat too.

    As it stands PC users can and do use both at the same time without having to toggle between the two.

  • I feel like the fact that PC players can hear and be heard in and out of party chat is a unintended glitch or oversight; not a feature

    Buy a smartphone, use VoIP app. You are not a hacker if you do so.

  • Rare could also change game chat so that only your crew can hear you unless you use the megaphone.

    What specifically about the privacy settings does it violate, link to documentation or quote?

    But still would be really nice if they can manage this to work...

    we use discort most of us dont even use the xbox app if we did not need it for the game we would not even touch it

    He just wants it, when he uses the speaking trumpet...and that would be a really nice thing

  • @tralalakk
    Ok, so use discord instead of game chat and I'll be able to hear both? Thanks

    thats not how it works, on pc you have ability to use push to talk so even if you do talk people in game cannot hear you only people on discort

    The short answer is it doesn't lol. I and my buddy spent a good 2 hours messing with mscedit, cmd prompt, and others to try to get their tunnel adapter terodo and for the xbox app to show us as connected . after all that I'm still showing as moderate NAT. The privacy things just make it harder to connect with people.

    Also I would love for people to be able to hear more in general and if they made the speaking trumpet output as a locational sound not a voice option that would solve the issues right there.

  • People join party chat to get away from kids with high pitched voices and ease dropping enemies. No.
