Suggestion Title: Whisper mode should be more discreet and restricted by walls
Suggestion Description: Right now, the whisper feature is mostly unusable in dense interior spaces like apartments, slums, or tidals. Players positioned on different floors or behind nearby walls can effortlessly listen in on conversations simply by standing near the wall boundary.
Realistically, low-volume whispering shouldn't pass through thick walls or concrete floors. The main purpose of a whisper function is enabling players to speak quietly without being overheard by bystanders. Since audio currently bleeds through solid barriers, players end up relying on text messages or organization chat instead. This ruins immersion and defeats the whole point of a whisper system.
I suggest adjusting the voice occlusion or shortening the range for whisper mode. Ideally, whisper voice should be limited to immediate line-of-sight inside the same room, preventing people behind walls from hearing private conversations.
Why should this be added?:
More realism: Voice won't bleed through thick walls and concrete floors.
Actual privacy: Allows players to talk discreetly without worrying about someone eavesdropping behind a wall.
Better voice RP: Stops people from having to use text or organization chat just to keep a conversation private.
What negatives could this have?:
Requires dev time to tweak audio occlusion and voice ranges.
People not being able to hear whispering people easily?
What problem would this suggestion solve?: It stops people from hearing private voice chats through solid walls. Right now, a cop standing 4 meters away behind a thick wall can hear everything you whisper. This fixes those situations so discreet conversations actually stay private.
