The Talk Range

[FieldersNL]

The talk range is obnoxiously low, there were moments where technically you would hear the person in the same room at a reasonable distance, but in-game it's not the case. It always felt off of how much closer I need to get in order to listen to one's conversation. Take these screenshots as an example.

This is how we started, the person on the desk being the prime example of this complaint. At first we thought he was being silent, until the two next to him were responding to his open answers. All the people around them couldn't hear the guy on the desk.

This is how everyone ended up getting closer, just to hear what the main invidual had to say. This is kinda ridiculous.

It would be great to increase the talk range so people don't have to bunch up as close in order to hear a conversation. I've had this issue a lot of times in different scenarios.

The range for /w is fine as it is. I'm unsure how well the range is for /y. It's probably low too.

just make a command like /v that legit works like /mev without the /me!

The talk range is the way it is right now because we've had glaring issues with people on the streets being able to hear people below them in the sewers, or people in apartments being able to "hear" everything on the floor above and below them, citizens in the plaza being able to hear entire interrogations in the Nexus, people being able to wait outside metabases to hear what's going on inside, and more.

While not ideal, the solution to all of the above was to simply lower the chat range. I still believe the pros outweigh the cons, even if you have to move a little closer to speak to someone.

Isn't there a way to block the talk range from certain walls and floors

/mev is the only method that can and will reduce it although you have to be in a tight space that isn't blocked with props so you need a physical part of the map blocking your view

although i wish you could maybe make it so you can set a range on how far you would like to speak so you just do /say [distance 0.1-2m] [text] something like that

Feel free to give my suggestion a vote

Believe the complaint has been addressed. Feel free to move to the talk range suggestions thread instead.
