And You Can Quote Them

I love this World of Warcraft thread, because I’m so easy to please. “Phrases you will never see on the WoW Forums” The original poster, Sekkite of the Nazjatar realm gives an example, ” PvE and PvP are perfectly balanced.”

Other good suggestions:

  • Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and choices, and I won’t try to impose what I think on them. (Also by Sekkite. Hey!)
  • You are absolutely right, I DO need to learn to play! Thank you 🙂
  • I see your point, you’ve made me change my point of view.
  • Please detail in point format the reasons why you are quitting. Be as concise as possible, I am taking notes which will be forwarded to a Developer this afternoon. Thankyou. (That’s an lol.)
  • I’m quitting WoW to go back to Vanguard.
  • That warlock obliterated me with pure skill.
  • We’re sad to announce that Tigole and Furor are pursuing other opportunities. Incidentally, we’re now hiring lead developers who will focus on providing content for the majority of the player base. (ouch. burn.)
  • All right, you got me. I don’t really have 9 kids, a supermodel wife, two doctorates and a high-paying executive position at a Fortune 500 company. But I do bathe sometimes.
  • That NE Hunter’s opinion is completely valid and should be taken seriously.
  • They’re taking their time over there. (The poster explains, “I doubt most forum goers could spell it correctly.”)
  • I don’t really have even a lay-person’s understanding of what it would take to add a feature to the game, so I’ll refrain from making any demands in that regard.

That last one is just anti-consumer!

I found some actual, confirmed, useful information on the World of Warcraft forums: Ventrilo Normalization.

Thrux of the Darkspear realm wrote:

Vent Normalization makes every bodies voice the exact same volume. In essence, you won’t blow your ear’s out or have difficulty hearing people.
____________________

Here’s how:

– Go to Setup

– Enable Direct Sound

– Select the SFX Button

– Select Compressor and click Add.

– Under Compressor Properties use the following settings

– Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 15)

– Attack = 0.01

– Release = Around 500

– Threshold = Around -30

– Ratio = 100

– Pre delay = 4.0

I tried this last week and can report that for me, with my guild’s Ventrilo, it worked like a charm. We have this one Canadian guildmember who is prone to deepthroating his microphone so that we’ll have to rip off our headsets and shout “GODDAMMIT” in real life — plus, we have a couple of low-talkers who, for all we know, are trying to cyber us on Vent.

After making the above adjustments to my Vent setup, both extremes were comfortably audible. And no, it wasn’t cyber.
