in my years of playing this game on PC i have seen like 5 people using mics, most of those where streamer during a free weekend demanding i give them free stuff because they where a streamer, i honestly don't know who this would be for as the emote system works like a good 90% of the time with other players because that is all you really need, Wave=Hello, Thumbs up=GG, Heart=thankyou, Giftbox= RUN FAR AWAY FROM ME LVL 16 I ENCOUTERED ON THE ROAD I CLEARLY WANT TO KILL YOU BECAUSE I JUST DROPPED SOMETHING AT MY FEET AND AM NOW WAVING A GIFT BOX ABOUT, FLEE, FLEE FOR YOUR LIFE!!, Team up= look at this pile of dirt
I know a lot of users who will continue to just use emotes for communication. Yeah if folks are getting wild in chat I just tend to press mute or block cause I am not going to try to control what people say.
Not being able to chat is the worst part of this game, any sane person who has played the game would agree. Trading and telling people what to do is impossible with emotes.
For me will be great. I'm not an English speaker. And even me understand, read and write in English very well, I cannot speak properly. So will be great to have an way to communicate better that just emotes
My wife was like that. English is taught in school, so you can be adept at reading and writing, but without normal usage, it is difficult understanding speech and speaking, especially since English is taught is school which is different than American, Australian, or even Irish or Scottish.
It would be awesome if we had an app like the old fallout 4 pip boy app. So we could chat and keep track of what we have and don't have even if we aren't in game.
Global chat is pure cancer in most cases. Good that it's not going for an outright global chat option. I never tried the chat mod, i figured so few people would be using it that it's a moot point. This might be good for alerting the derps during events who struggle with basic in game instruction at events etc lol.
Oh wow, that have a lot of potential. Im working with unity on a game and i have an AI asset that has a amazing text to speech feature. I can write everything and choose voices like Donald Trump or obama. And there are a lot more nice voices that are already working with textToSpeech. If they do it right, then i think thats gonna be a big gamechanger.
I suspect this will have several iterations before being finalized. The profanity filter in particular needs to be compatible with various guidelines in various countries. I don't expect it to be in the next update.
@@Fargassier there will be. Some countries require one for text chat, given this is a hybrid, so there might be some technicalities I'm not aware of. That said, the fact that they're doing T2S, this could be an early sign that they are actually working on crossplay.
You still have a few months of the current season so you'll be fine. Besides, if your main worry after a Cat 2 storm is finishing your online season, then you're looking pretty damn good. Stay safe out there.
@@Saintbow It isn't my main concern. The damage to my house is my main concern. Just didn't think a Fallout 76 video was the appropriate place to talk about all that. But thanks for assuming everything is just grand.
As someone who has been playing MMOs since the late 1990s I love this! This could be happening because of the new raid. Anyone who has ever done hard core raiding in MMOs knows voice on discord or some sort of text chat is absolutely needed to succeed.
I don't remember ever using the chat in the beta or early game. Though so much time has gone by since then. I def. think this is going to be a good system but they def. need some time with it.
@@daxidol1447 it was there at the very start and didn't last long. I played a few months at launch then took a break for a while, few months, when i came back it was gone.
@@Fargassier right, but that's the same rules whether it's someone talking or the T2S playing. As a streamer, you're still going to have to mute ingame voice chat, same as you do now.
@@Lordoftheapes79 I actually don't mute voice chat in game and talk to people in area chat. If someone gets wild I just mute/block depending on the situation. I also have a button to mute the game audio.
I love it here. I have two friends who are mute who play. They will no longer have to use the Text Mod to chat! I am trusting they will allow the blocking of bad actors just like voice.
I am thinking that in blocking someone it will mute them as well but I didn't even think about testing that out. I def. think this is going to be a great addition to the wasteland.
Understand that I enjoy communicating with people but a filter is a much needed feature especially with the ability of folks to say some terrible stuff. As a content creator who streams my brain thinks about this stuff.
this is some thing I have been wondering about. I saw in key set up a button for push to talk and I wonder if that was some thing you had to turn on to work or if it was a feature they where going to add later. you say this new feature is text to talk. will other players be able to see the text because in your video the speech seamed really distorted
@@keithday1982 It works, hardly any one ever talks. I say thanks and hello ;but no ever responds. Sometimes I see people have their mics on all the time ;but it's just background noise from their room.
@@RoCkShaDoWWaLkEr thanks I will have to try it. there is been times I saw a new players and wanted to give them a few steam packs and dropped them where I thought they would see them but could not get the message across and they just walked away without picking up the steam packs. next time I will try talking and say hear are some free steam packs.
So like I mentioned in the video if you respond to the player in the text then you can see the chat history. The push to talk feature is for talking in the wasteland and most of us talk on the mic in area chat. If yours is setup to Auto then switch it to Area and you will probably hear more folks. 🤘
I don't remember it being in the game during the beta but it has been a long time since then so I might have forgotten about it. We shall see how the development works for this one.
@@johnkrupa4264 well I guess open the favorite wheel or something and then press a button to type stuff. But for me adding chat is one of the 3 features I wanted for this game to have and I guess slowly we getting the other 2 features which is cross play and cross save.
it blows my mind how its taken 6 years for this basic mechanic to be introduced, im mute so this is a legitimate game changer for me, now ill be able to beg ppl for 38 ammo lmao
I've never had voice chat on, and do not plan to. I have however wanted to be able to chat with people, especially those times when somebody doesn't understand the objective of a public event for example. Douchebags are in every online game, so that doesn't scare me.
i'm on the fence abt it. can take it, or leave it. will this help a lot of players? yes definintely. will it be a bain of existence for content creators? could be, unless a filter is enabled. as far as translation, even with the CC you have on your live streams it confuses words you say. so a work in progress for sure. but i'm very pleased that the effort is being made by Beth and 11. Kudos for bringing changes.
I think it is a great feature to have for sure but def. one that is in need of some work. Well the thing that I don't understand about the text not appearing the same is because we are typing the words in so it shouldn't have an issue with that unless it is typing what it thinks it may here from the player on our side which would then make sense of why it miss heard. I love that they are improving things like this for players and can't wait to see what the future holds. 🤘Appreciate you bud💙
Idk, seems a bit pointless especially for console players where typing a message is just way too slow and hard. I would rather see fixes to stuff thats broken, like the explosive effect on ballistic guns that no longer adds any damage incresase...things like that are the real issues.
Salut , tes sur de toi a propos des dommage ? Pourquoi le minigun de gauss a le double effet explosif alors ? C'est aussi un bug pour le coup , mais si tu regardes la vidéo de angry turtle a ce sujet, c'est plutôt clair
Modders did make that function available for PC players and I have friends who utilize the mod and enjoy it. I have never utilized it because of streams and videos. I would have to turn it off before videos or streams.
I'm confused how it works. Is it or is it not text chat? Are the functions separate from text-to-speech or are they intertwined? Are you able to just open the text function near somebody and send a message without hearing a synthetic voice voicing your message, or is sending a message always going to send a synthetic text-to-speech voice? I don't know if you've played other games like GTA Online, but text chat is very simple. It's a key, you press it, it shows you history, and you can type a message. Simple. Is it like that in some ways or not?
This is the first version of what the team is working on and I don't know how they will eventually make this feature work but as it stands right now the text seemed intertwined with voice but we will have to see what the team has in store. I have played MMOs before but no as it stands right now it isn't like that on this version. Which we have to remember this is version 1.0 that they are showing us.
There's TEXT CHAT NOW? Who the fuck is working on Fallout 76 this year? They are fixing 6 year old bugs, adding amazing features like the legendary recipe system, and now adding features (like this) that also should have been there from the start. If these are the modders bethesda hired they are doing amazing work.
@@Fargassier don't bother, the people who run it are deranged. I was a member of the community for almost 3 years and they banned me permanently because i quoted a rule exactly as it is written on their discord, which says "(among other things that aren't allowed) this includes joking around"
And besides, the grind of this game is like gambling, that seems much more threatening to children than a simple chat that most online games on PC have lol
This is the first iteration so I am sure there will be more improvements. This is the PTS which is there for players to give their opinions on what they are doing and I am sending this video into the team. Make sure to submit thoughts to them.
Omg, I can tell people to get out of the corridors at radiation rumble and please just tag enemies so everyone can have a chance to get legendaries… 😳🤓Yay… you going to be interesting
Well the game is rated 18 due to gambling, so if a kid is playing, it's on the parents tbh
Yet they won't let us have cigs and ashtrays on the tables in our camps because Australia etc lol.
While I understand the rating still a filter is something that is needed.

Just put in chat box. World, team, private. Done. Should be in Day 1.
Or off and don't even show it. That'd be my way.
If it becomes a text chat then I can see those being in there for sure.
Yeah, it's way overdue. I'm very confused how it works.
It would be awesome if we had an app like the old fallout 4 pip boy app. So we could chat and keep track of what we have and don't have even if we aren't in game.

They need to apply some compression on the sound, so it projects more clearly and avoid peaks and therefore distortion. Interesting feature though ngl
I am glad yall know sound stuff like that. I am just now learning more about that side of the industry.

When the game came out we had chat then they took it away, now it is back. hmm, will be interesting

General rule of thumb with chat boxes is to put your image over the box when streaming, or blur it out.
Oh yeah def. so but a bit different when I can hear what they say over the mic as they type.
@@Fargassier right, but that's the same rules whether it's someone talking or the T2S playing. As a streamer, you're still going to have to mute ingame voice chat, same as you do now.

How do you turn off the chat box on the side? I keep seeing it on the side
There should be an option in the settings for it. I have mine disabled.
I hope they include an option to turn it off or at least hide.
We will have to see what the team has in store for the new feature but you can hide the box.
I hope they add separate tabs to the text box, like Area, World, Etc.
If it becomes a true text chat then I can see them doing that for sure 🤘
Is text chat for PC user or can console user also use it?
Any system should be able to use it I believe
I love it here. I have two friends who are mute who play. They will no longer have to use the Text Mod to chat!

and i cant change it in settings because it only shows speach to text
I haven't tested it out this week as of yet but what system are you on?
Is this just for PC or Xbox and PlayStation as well?
As it stands right now the PC is the only one that can test it because it is only on the PTS right now.
It was there during my testing before the game released... Not sure why it didn't release with the game. Probably all of the profanity.

As you see in the video it has a speech to text so players can talk to the program it seems and do it that way.
This is awesome. We get to witness how Bethesda totally fucks up game chatting - something basically everyone has been doing for decades.
This isn't a full on text chat yet but an accessibility feature but we will see how the team moves forward on it.
This is just asking for trouble IMO…
Yes, but easy to report people who are making that trouble. I mean... They have it in writing after all.
It most likely will lead to a few more blocks from players but can easily report players as well.
that TTS looks like a 90s tech
I like the look of it
