Brief Summary:
While on the character selection screen, either mute other players so you can't hear them or mute microphones so they cannot be heard by others.
Detailed Suggestion:
There is absolutely no reason for anyone to need to say anything in the character selection screen or be heard. Unfortunately, due to people spawning in the same location at this point somewhere on the map and more so after a server restart you end up with an absolute ear-rape being transmitted. I've had people chanting the N word, amongst others and just otherwise screaming and shouting, blowing into their mics, played Thomas the Tank Engine... you get the idea.
Players do this because they know I cannot see who is saying this thus I cannot report them for using such words. People are otherwise shouting just to be trolls with the same protection that I cannot identify them.
It might be that you are only on the character selection screen for 10-30 seconds (including the loading time when the voices start to you teleporting away) but that's more than enough.
Also bare in mind for someone joining for the first time perhaps after a restart this is their first interaction. It doesn't look good at all.
The Pros:
Player's eardrums maintain a longer shelf life
No one has to endure the chanting of the N word or other profanities
Bandwidth with potentially 200 players being in the same area with lots of shouting must be higher too
The Cons:
None
Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?
No
