What is 'User channel voice chat'

Discussion in 'PlanetSide 2 Gameplay Discussion' started by Robin, Jan 7, 2013.

    I notice the option 'User channel voice chat' in the key binding section. I'd love to have a way to chat to a pilot or gunner without spamming the whole squad (or having the need to put us in our own squad as a workaround).

    How do I make use of this? is there a command like '/userchannel [playername]' or some such to register transmissions to just that player?

    Thanks!

    Its a custom user channel. /voice join <channel> <password> allows one to create a global channel that anyone may join if they know the name and password. Useful for joint platoon communication.

    Has anyone actually been able to use this feature successfully?
    Issuing the "/voice join <channel> <password>" command seems to only echo the command on the console screen.
    Also, based on the overlays I see when I use other channels (such as [Command], [Squad], [Platoon] and [Proximity]), I expect something to be displayed when pressing the (default) 'num 6' key assigned to this user channel, but I do not see anything, and nothing can be heard by the people trying to communicate through this channel.
    Has this been disabled/broken since the post?

    /friend add <name> - sends <name> a friend request
    /friend remove <name> - removes <name> from your friend list
    /friends - alias of /friend

    /ignore add <name> - adds the named player to your ignore list
    /ignore remove <name> - removes the named player from your ignore list

    As far as I'm aware this command list might be datamined, I'm not entirely sure if all of these commands work though as I haven't been able to try them all out yet. Sorry I couldn't really clarify anything.
