Bufoman Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 For those clans out their that use one or the other above mentioned programs, I would like to know which do you prefer and why. For those of you who do not know what either of them is, here are the Wiki articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teamspeak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventrilo Clan Moderator from December 15th 2006- August 20th 2007Founder of: Terran Gamers, formerly known as Militos Deci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glimtee Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Gladz use Teamspeak, but I have both Teamspeak and Ventrilo. Although I'm more familiar and comfortable with Teamspeak, I prefer the audio quality produced by Ventrilo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan_Nx Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Vent seems better quality but I'm used to TS so TS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thiesje Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Never worked with Ventrilo, so TeamSpeak I guess. Animum debes mutare, non caelum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaumonde Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Vent is better, but people are so used to TS they're reluctant to switch over. Stat Progress | Stat Averages | Stat Records Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzock Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Like everybody else I personally think ventrilo makes a better quality of sound, but Corr uses teamspeak.

Laikrob Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Never tried Ventrillo, used TS a bit. Only thing that annoys me with TS is the cutting off when several people talk, and the speak options. I prefer Skype on convos with up to 20 people. You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decebal Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I have Skype, but nothing else due to me unable to install anything on this computer -.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakura12 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Ventrilo has better quality but in order to use it someone has to pay a bit of money. Aftermath uses Teamspeak because we don't have anyone willing to pay for a vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Observer Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I never tried a voice program because of my lack of a microphone, but I did listen in though. I'd say Ventrilo as it seems to have better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_dav135 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 We use TS but I still have TS, vent and skype dl'ed. Prefer skype out of the 3, but I think I'd rather TS to vent, despite the quality difference as TS is far easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_Fat1 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I prefer teamspeak because ventrillo may be much better voice quality it lags more, 56k's seem DECENT with teamspeak and don't want to cause them any extra lag than we need.

Sanctus_Petrus Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Ventrilo ftw. The sound quality really makes it worth the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbzruler72 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Ventrilo. Quality severely outperforms TeamSpeak. I don't have to keep saying, "Sorry, I didn't hear you" like I do on TS. *-P.K.M-* Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufoman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 So is their any free version of Ventrilo? What is the cost, and what service do they provide? Are you satisfied with the service you receive, considering the fee?

Beaumonde Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 So is their any free version of Ventrilo? What is the cost, and what service do they provide? Are you satisfied with the service you receive, considering the fee? On Vent a freeware server holds 8 people, to buy a nice vent server is about 15 dollars a month for 100 people.

Bufoman Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 And can you use a 3rd party server like a spare computer?

Beaumonde Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 And can you use a 3rd party server like a spare computer? That's the "freeware" server above with a max of 8 people. The price I mention is for a Vent hosting company that buys the "pro" license, unfortunately to be approved for a "pro" license you need to be approved by Vent and must be able to maintain at least 1000 connected users at any one time, much larger than your spare computer could hold.

Sanctus_Petrus Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 One of the major downsides of ventrilo is that mac users always seem to have trouble with it even if they download the mac version of it. Since I am not a mac user I can't help them much with getting it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi00118 Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Never tried ts but from people in my clan that have apparently ventrilo is a lot better. GoG FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Vent is more user friendly & produces better quality. Add in there's tons of servers out there you can use too, there's no reason not to be using it. TS isn't user-friendly and doesn't have much going for it, unless they change the UI & can actually compete with Vent other than by users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laikrob Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Are there free Vent servers aswell, or do you always have to pay for them? I'm just used to Skype and TS, which both are free. You're accusing me of bigotry, how ironic. It's a nice attempt at argument, but your responses are facile and asinine, if not diatribe. Who's arrogant now?
