VoIP - should not be enabled when dead or unconscious
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I just got killed by another player but I could still hear them speaking after I was dead. I believe this is a bug because it doesn't make sense.

@warcryr:

Can you tell a little about why you think this don't make sense at all?
I can see what you think that when you are dead you can not speak in real. But this is still a game and why not have the opportunity to speak with those who killed/ got killed?

Many times it can be fun and entertaining and not at least informative depending on the situation ahead of the killing that can justify a conversation in a postmortem stage so to say ;)

Not all of those situations are all about rant and flame throwing back and fort, if that is something you had in mind.

@hugin_q3 I think we're on the same page.

I understand that you like the ability to speak in-game to players even after you're dead or they're dead. But you're also agreeing with me that it's not realistic.

I believe that it is a bug because:

  1. Live players can speak to dead players but not the other way around.
  2. Striving toward realism, immersion...etc., the current behavior and VoIP post-mortem in any scenario is not realistic.

So whether the current behavior is accidental or on purpose, I'm reporting that it's "bugged" nonetheless.
