apparently,.. seems there are loads of people that join a VC by themselves as a work around to muting people in a mp match. to me it seems like a dumb workaround and people should be requesting a feature to "mute all" in a mp gaming.Its annoying to me as it was an easy option to permenantly mute all other players, a lot of games have it where you have to do it every new lobby you enter which sucks. I know a lot of solo streamers enter a solo party to avoid any slip of other people in voice chat too.
i games with my friend on thursday worried that the new system would be disruptive based on all the whining. i dunno,. as far as i'm concerned the system is an improvement. ...but i only have the one friend i game with regularly so maybe i just don't have enough friends.
It does suck and honestly I don't see much of a positive of this new party system, permanent groups to make a quick party with the people you want are cool but they didn;t have to remove the ability of making new/ private parties to implement it.
