Paying for voice is going to kill Dust.

What's going to happen is they will just migrate to TS3/Ventrilo servers for out of game communication, so CCP will fail to get revenue from this item. Worse, it will have a VERY negative effect on CCP, and further paint them as a company that's greedy for money and figuring out how to bleed its customers dry. They barely dodged a bullet with the Monocole scandal, and the release of the "Greed is Good" newsletter. To continue down this road will only bring all this back into light, and with an even worse effect than before.

what was the monocle scandal?

The $80 monocle allowed you to see your opponents better.

Remove pay to talk and give the OPTION of push to talk. Some people prefer push to talk system. Personally I think it will be a pain to use push to talk while in combat.

Universal Voice Transmitters are biomechanical implants that provide personal access to subspace routers, allowing users to communicate instantly with one another wherever they may be. The implants degrade over time and cease to function when fully absorbed by the user.

WTF am I looking at? Is voicechat pay2play? SERIOUSLY?

I call this the first offical thread naught of dust 514

btw this is for out of battle areas such as local corp group ect ect.

must not have read it is ptt

nevermind i think i know what you were saying the option to turn off ptt

Ok! Here's how it goes.
Technically its a type of voice chat but if you read the description of the item it says what it does.
I've just been in a few matches talking up a storm with my fellow dusters and I haven't bought those things.
But what they enable you to do is basically talk to people who aren't even in the same game as you, they could be fighting on a totally different planet......and you can still talk.
that's what they are
'Universal voice transmitters' and 'wherever they may be' are the key words

Shitstorm coming.

People, be reasonable: (HAHAHAHHA)

Talking during fight: Free
Talking on the corp channel: Not sure about that, probably free.

Talking to people like a freaking cell phone using your vita and the neocom: A paid service.

Does this REALLY seems unreasonable for you ?

I wouldn-¦t pay, but charge a vita neocom voice chat is not unreasonable.

Loved the graphics, prefered the old voices, THE HELL HAPPEND TO MY DROPSHIPS. I used to pilot, now i suck completely.

You guys realize ccp has to make money somehow right? They arent making a f2p game just for the hell of it and because they like you.

Unreasonable? A company that talks about communication being the key to emergent gameplay wanting to charge you for the privilege of talking?

Yeah.

Stop the flamming dude.

They-¦re not making you pay to talk. You can talk just like before, on specific locatiosn relevant to the game (battle, perhaps corp chat). Was here before, still here now.

Now, on a DIFFERENT scenario, one that we perhaps didnt even IMAGINED before, they added a service and are charging for it. Something that wasnt here before. No loss from previous rights.

And you still think this is unreasonable?

The PR of the thing was a mess (seriously CCP, you should have learned by now your market mentality on surprises like this), but the funcionality is not absurd.
