Hey guys, I hope everyone is enjoying Rift as much as I am I find the primary reason that I'm enjoying Rift so much, beyond great gameplay mechanics, is the community that we've created with CoT. I'd like to take that one step further and highly encourage (but not require) our members to get back on vent! During the launch everyone was on vent and it was wonderful!I'm not saying you have to be on whenever you play Rift, I have plenty of moments where I'm talking with family or just wanna fly solo, but lets make a real commitment to at least jump on every now and then and shoot the shit with other CoT'ers. /end PublicServiceAnnouncement

I like vent if I'm playing in a group. It's extremely useful and I'd encourage all to give it a try.
I don't care to always sit in the voice chat though. It's distracting to my son who is sleeping in the next room, or worse, if he's awake, it's just not possible to talk like that.
Also, whenever I'm in vent, I feel like I ignore alot of the guild-text-chat going on in the game. The game also feels a bit less immersive.
But you all are a fantastic group of people and most times that I do pop into vent are full of entertainment. It's like a live stream of the podcast most nights. I pay for the vent, so of course I want people to use it, but it's not always how I want to play. I like that the option is there.

I tend to stay out of vent for the same reasons Zeli does. My computer is close to the family room and my chatting can be a bit annoying for my wife and daughter in the next room. I also feel like it breaks my immersion a bit. That said, I will try to pop in on the weekends at some points

I'm usually on vent if I am playing (admittedly rare lately) unless it's after 1 PM; the walls are paper thin and my neighbor likes to complain.

I use a headset when I'm on vent, but I understand reasons to avoid it.

I use a headset too. which leads to me being annoyed cause my ingame sounds (yeah, im one of the 9 people who like AND want the music and sounds from the game to be on) to be on the shitty headsets when i have a bitchin surround sound system hooked up to my PC. And im WAAAAY to lazy to drag my loltop out from its case to be my vent machine.
Android needs a vent app so i can use my phone to talk on vent...

That would be cool. My headset is about as good as my speakers.
