Tell him if they want to have hope for their game, they better scrap that one. With massive clans coming in from other games, they're all going to leave when they realize they have to be in game to talk.

Well here is one of those things that CCP had to try, but I think we all agree (which might be a first) that this is absolutely the worst idea.

If you want to develop a community, you do not limit the amount of talking going on. You never, ever charge players to talk to each other when every other MMO, has this option for free.

Players spend more time out of battle hanging out with friends then they do playing. This is what builds a community and its players, this is how we make new friends, discuss tactics and ideas. By doing a Pay to Talk, in any shape or form you are ruining one of the best things about a MMO, the friendships you make in game. CCP what ever high paid, know it all exec told you this was a great way to make money, should be FIRED today, right now and never allowed back into any game company.

Like many others have said, you pay to talk, then you just killed this game for me, all of my friends and well everyone.

Do I think this will be taken out by the time the real game comes out, yes. But to even try this nonsense is beyond stupid IMO.

Im in-game now (finally) so lets see I can help clarify a bit ....


You have to enable VC on the channel. So if you want it on CORP, you have to highlight CORP in your chat menu, and select CORP - Activate voice. If you want if for your squad, slect SQUAD - Activate Voice. Even on your custom squad you have to do this. Then you can hear the VC (even outside of battle) while in your quarters.

PTT is turned on by default, you can go into the options and turn if off (for instance if you have a mute button already). No way to mute individuals, it's all or nothing. This new AUR chat option is... I don't know. The item description needs a better description.

The thing is the lords of the internet charge for voice comms somone has to foot the bill. In eve its built into the sub (ccp ate the bill on that one basically) however for dust 514 its unreasonable for a compnay that barelys gets 66 million a year to pay for voice coms for a potential million people.

Asking eve players to also hoof the bill may not be a good thing either as it would almsot require a price increase on subs.

Here is the deal,they are PLENTY of ways to charge for stuff in a f2p business model. But THIS its not one of them.

And for the ignuramous fanboy who is gonna crawl up saying
*nerdvoice* "but you dont have to pay for it if you dont want to"

Yes dickweed you could push your car around, that doesnt make the idea of a car with no engine less idiotic.

Difference is, you paid for the gas for your car.

You didn't pay for DUST, and voice chat bandwidth costs money especially on a large scale. Why should CCP pay lots of money so that you guys can talk about dicks and boobs and fart all day in your private channel?

Posting in yet another .. OMG I WANTS IT ALL FOR FREE .. thread

Remember kiddies, everything in Dust can be brought and sold on the market for ISK as well.

You honestly don't get it so you?

EVERY OTHER GAME WITH TEAMWORK AND BETWEEN GAME PARTIES DOES THAT.
Play MAG. They don't cost you to talk in anclan lonby all day long if you want.

Same with any other teamsork/objective based game or mmo

Also you did afine job of dodging that, when he talks of pushing the car due to lack of engine you talk about buying gas... Clever. But meaningless and amorphous. Cannot be tied down to anything solid but allows a clever job of shadowing the fact that its a standard for all other games, and its not innovative t all, its money grubbing and stupid.

MAG is only free if you stole it from the shop.

Try again.
