[quote=CCP Frame]Hello,
Just to clarify what UVT is supposed to enable and what you get for free:
UVT Gives you:
- Ability to voice chat in custom channels, DUST or EVE/DUST
- Ability to voice chat in corporation channels, alliance channels, ect.
UVT is NOT required for:
- Team voice chat
- Squad voice chat
Text chat is of course free everywhere.
Players can speak / listen to one channel at a time.
Keep in mind that price is still subject to change during the beta period.[/quote]
See, this is an interesting one. I can understand such an implant as a description for allowing such communication, because it fits with the backstory, but why the heck does this need to be an MT item, and at this level of price? I realize this isn't a subscription based game like EVE Online, but the ability to voice chat with members of your own corporation is only available if you pay for it? I just don't get it. I mean, I get that providing communication infrastructure costs both time and money, but at the very least these should either drop to a fourth the cost they have right now, at the very least, or make them ISK items.
Not gonna lie, this is crap. |

Agreed. Members of a Dust corporation should be able to communicate with each other without additional expenditure. |

Voice chat in any channel, including player-made ones, is part of what we pay a subscription for. |

A reasonable attempt to reassure us with some flawed assumptions
EVE ONLINE CORPORATIONS DO NOT USE EVE VOICESeriously CCP, Almost every significant Eve corporation does not use Eve Voice. The reasons are many, but mostly Eve players don't want to use an integrated voice chat that means you loose voice comms if your client crashes. And while eve voice isn't bad, it sure as hell isn't nearly as good as Mumble. And here's another fun fact .... Mumble is OPEN SOURCE So basically, trying to charge for a voice service that most eve online corporations will not use is a pointless exercise. Its also a mind numbingly STUPID IDEA because all you are doing is making your customers angry. Please, you have to find a better solution.
There isn't any other solution. You can't install Mumble or Teamspeak on your PS3, after all. The only voice system they can support across both platforms is their own. |
