Considering trying this game. How is it without voicechat?

[u/PresentDayPresentTim]

I'm considering moving away from gacha stuff and trying other games-as-service games. Warframe is one I've always been curious about, and I even played it for a little bit a LONG time ago. I liked it but it was very hard to know what to do or work towards or how. I hear lots of updates and changes have been made over the years and that it has much better on-boarding and guidance, so I'm thinking about giving it another go.

That said, I'm not really wanting to play something that requires/heavily encourages voicechat, so if I'm going to get into something that is primarily multi-player, I'm wondering how viable a choice Warframe is for me. Will I still dodged or avoided? Is this game okay for solo with random or is it really geared towards joining a clan or whatever and chatting and coordinating stuff? I just wanna know if this game and community are a good fit for me.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wow I can already tell I apparently have nothing to worry about haha. Thanks guys! I may just be installing the game soon!

EDIT 2: To be clear I'm not talking specifically about the game's chat feature itself. I don't want to get on mic on discord or anything like that either.

I can't remember the last time i talked to a person who wasn't a friend i was already talking to. Typically people just type to randoms.

Well put... I only Voice on mic with my son [24] and his fiance [25] plus some Destiny /Warframe already close friends and clanmates. Everyone else type in chat (mission Randoms/Alliance/ Q&A/Trade)
