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

Flame this: Restricting communications is bad for the game universe. Restricting the most convenient communication method of the medium is a death sentence. Do you think EVE would even exist if they charged real money for using text chat?

Your reading comprehension surpases mine in some way, for i can-¦t read that much into it.

I had something before, i still have it now.
Somehting news shows up, something new is being charged for.

No loss for anything i-¦ve been experiencing since entering the beta.

Really can-¦t see your point. Would you care to elaborate in an objective way ?

Who in their right mind would pay for this?

I will.

What thefuck do you people want?! The moon delivered on a silver platter for your selfish gluttonous consumption?

You know that voice comms have sucked hard up to this point but we all managed to play the game. And win

And it sounds like this option is for additional comms bandwidth - not squad comms (not sure haven't seen it yet)

So- yah - if it is not play to win then it is fair game. I will take my hard earned personal income and use it to gain any additional fun and/or advantage I can gain

And for the record: I would still pay Aurum for detailed info and reports about other corporations' assets, capabilities, contracts, etc

I will.

You don't play EVE do you?

Good for you. Those of us that don't suck on anything stuck in our face will use free alternatives, and be a lot more careful which of CCP's crazy schemes we'll spend our money on.

Forget what you think you know or have experienced with other games.

That is a box you're living in--get out of it. Try something new. The Aurum will be refunded and you don't have to use it for additional comms channels again.

I love that they are willing to try something new in the micro transaction market. Increased comms bandwidth: brilliant!

Yeah, and all this time they were talking about "true F2P". **** that. If I have to pay for voice chat, I'm uninstalling Dust.

Since 2007.

Well mate, if you-¦re not going to elaborate further, then there-¦s no point in talking. Not interested in a background check opening space for ad hominem.

Something news howed up, people are scared of changes, shitstorm is coming, the PR crew will sort this out (hahahhaha) and everyone will be mery in their ways.

And CCP, please stop feeding the trolls. You know this is the kind of thing that will be over simplified and cause embaracment for everyone, next step is the media coverage, than the questions "will Dust suceed after such a turmoil?" and then a zombie apocalypse shows up the world ends and the universe explodes, all because a little change.

*Sight*

Good for you: stay with what you know and love Mag,cod,bf whatever. I won't judge you for not trying something new. Don't you try to squelch every attempt at innovation that doesn't look just like what you are familiar with

Condescending much?

How about this: people communicate in EVE by text because its a PC game and typing is the universal PC means of communication. On modern consoles voice chat is the universal means of communication.

Furthermore, consider this: CCP want DUST players to be as involved, and have as much impact on the shared universe, as EVE players.

No one is going to pay for this when they can get it free. This makes it more difficult for groups in DUST to organise. Increased difficulty means less people will bother. Less people bothering means less emergent gameplay for CCP to boast about and use as a selling point.

Most of the players in EVE and DUST agree that RMT should be limited to cosmetic and sidegrade items. Charging for communication is not only money-grubbing, bizarre, stupid, unnecessary, and annoying, it is also self defeating.

It seems a little incredulous that they'd expect people to pay for something that should already be included as a part of the game. People are concerned now in the beta because once this game goes live and the price hasn't been significantly reduced or even eliminated, people will not think well on a game that tries to charge people for comms, even if it is for "expanded" comms. It just gives off a bad vibe.

yes they are only for player made groups though not for squads. it was announced in the past that we would have to pay aurum for these but we were promised reasonable prices those seem a little.......

Pay nearly -ú4.00 a month just to talk to people on a game............ Are you fuk1n kidding CCPiss takers.... good luck with getting all your clan members to do that ****.....

I don't need any MORE companies overcharging me for talking to people who are far away.

Hello.

First, people don-¦t use text in EVE. (Except for spam in local, drawing genitalia and such). They use TS3 / Vent. No one in a serious corp uses text. Voice is the mean of communication. You can-¦t coordinate combats with text. EVE even provides a free com (EVE Voice) for people, but habit / someotherthings make them use external clients.

What is "this" that you mention? We only have a description of an item, in my head its for making PS VITAs using NEOCOM an expensive walkie talkie and paying for it. In yours, it-¦s a restriction on voice comms, removing features that are present as we write (just had a battle using the push to talk (yay \o/) buttons. No charge for it. Same thing as before.

In the future, we-¦ll probably use EVE Voice to communicate with the corp members (corporations can have both dust and eve players). It will probably be free, since it uses the client already in the server we are at ! (One server to rule them all, remember?)

I only see mass hysteria around here, but, that-¦s exactly what a shitstorm is. People manufacturing information out of their heads, assuming they-¦re truth, and complaining about speculations that they themselves created.

How about waiting for clarifications from devs before announcments of "ruined game" ?

Best regards
