I've been noting on a few raids how folks are always saying, got him, or I got this on vent which aren't really useful to the mission. So here are some ideas that I want to try and point out to improve understanding during raids on vent. 1) If your being a medic, please announce if you are TPing folks in to a hot spot or not. Don't offer intel that might distract you from being a good medic. 2) Only say what is needed to be said while on a raid. We have a raid commander for a reason. Don't offer intel or say how well you are beating the enemy. This is a distraction, one that could lead to problems down the line. 3) Do say if you need support and where you are. Keep it short and brief. If you want to acknowledge your on your way to support someone say something like "Typhon moving to support (whoever)" There's no need for any more chatter then that. 4) Try to keep personal chatter to a zero. Folks on a raid don't care what your watching or how many kills your getting by standing in there spawn, or even close to it. It's just useless chatter and makes it harder for those in charge to hand out orders or plan changes when there needed. Mind you these ideas come from RL military experience, and when I play things like Team Fortress 2, and such, it actually helps get things done faster and more efficiently. Saddly I am only posting this as the raid chatter on ventrilo has gotten to the point, in my opintion that I can't tell what is going on anymore let alone who is telling me what I need to hear so I can get the job done.
