Please tell me this is a mistake. You should NOT have to pay to talk to members within your own clan. Talking in other chat rooms and to EVE players is an extra feature that you should pay for, but this?

talk to each while you are not in the same match ? i don't know any other game on ps3 where this is possible.
still sucks if they are asking AUR for it, basically forcing people in corps to buy AUR |

This not a bug.. this is how it was intended to be for a while. Now whether one agrees with this or not is up for debate.

Quote: ello,
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.

Well, it deppends on its pricing. Since we're going to be able to buy Aur items from other players, it all deppends on how the supply and demand flow works out. |

As much as UVT has been planned to enable corp channel chat (and I hate to say it as a money maker for CCP), I think voice on the whole should be have some of the same structure as EveO has ( detail here ) especially for team/squads, and that Corp channel should always be free of charge.
By all means make it a cost for additional corp public channels such as "Corp Recruiting Chat" or "Corp Diplomacy Chat" that the Corp itself pays for to enable voice |

Was always intended to work this way dude. Audio chat has a cost. Yet, what i expect now are the "audio chat room" pack where one individual will be able to afford a UVT for everyone that logs in the room. Corp or Not.
Much like a built-in mumble or TS. |

People..don't let this be a deal breaker. Allow me to remind you guys that this is a free game and not everyone will use AUR. So, if you don't want to wait until a game is queued to talk to your squad...then pay $2 and get 4000 AUR which will give you a UVT for more than 300 years (realtime).
We've all paid $60 or more for games that we've played for less than a year plus DLCs. We are getting a game for free with free upates that we intend on playing a long time for. What's $2 worth??

I agree. It would be a shame for this new feature to turn someone away from the game. This change only effect large corporations (Smaller corporations will not be hindered by texting in the Corp chat room) and can be quickly solved through Ydubbs' suggestion. Spending two dollars now would guarantee that your great grandchildren would be able to "clan talk".
In short, I hope this changes doesn't rub people the wrong way. I don't think it is a fight worth pursuing. Take care,

This is an excellent suggestion. Corp wallets would be much improved if players could donate ISK or AUR to corporations of thier choosing. This would allow players who won't or can't pay for UVT to still be very active members in their corporation, while still allowing CCP to make money. Nice solution NAV

I have plenty of guys in corp that don't have aurum for whatever reasons and being able to use the corp channel on voice was incredibly useful.
Sorting out squads, discussing fits, random hilarity, etc.
I really hope this is a glitch as this will either drive my guys onto third party comms or somewhere else. Considering how much awesome was deployed in this build it would be a shame if the marketing criminals tainted it.
I have run dual comms before, and its a giant pain in the arse. |

Squad voice still works.
it's only CORP voice that's disappeared (when it was advertised as a feature of the UVT, not a default functionality).
You can put together a squad, turn on your mics, and chat away without any need for UVTs. When you're in-game, you can talk - for free - with your whole team in the team channel. It's going to cost you ONLY when you're talking with people you're not ready to enter battle with, or already in battle with. |

Being able to get the whole crew on comms in one channel makes sorting into squads much less of an ordeal. Doing it all by keyboard again is going to be terrible. |

Its stupid, to create an obstacle for competitive play is quite honestly record breakingly stupid.
You do realize that a large portion of players are young and dont have credit cards? And despite being young, every member is valuable, so when you have a few players who are now forced out of the in-game chat it creates rifts both socially AND strategically as thats where a lot of discussions would go on.
A game thats meant to be hardcore, then throws a spear into a key part of organized competitive play. Smart. |

But most of us do the talking on Corp Voice. I like the squad idea, but to discuss strategies and ideas with the entire corp by typing. |

If and when we get the ability to form full teams before a battle, this shouldn't be enough of a problem to prevent players from organising and discussing things, but it will be JUST recognisable enugh to encourage AUR purchases. |

So because I have a credit card I'm supposed to fund your UVT. No thanks. Maybe for my closest of corp mates but I can guarantee most of them will not accept and will pay their own way.
This is the most pay to win thing I've heard. Going into a corp battle will see little to no organization without a UVT with this model People will be all over the place not knowing if they're supposed to be in a squad or not. Out of 20 people which 8 are in the corp battle? Definitely the ones with a working UVT. Oh, you can't afford one? No corp battle for you. Lets have 2 squads ready for a corp battle that takes place in 45 minutes. Can't even talk between squads to coordinate the game until we hit the war barge.
It's dumb in so many ways. |

This is really going to dampen the entire social aspect to this game. Fair enough if it was a PC game, where everyone has a keyboard and can type pretty quickly for chat but this is a console and people will find it a major inconvenience to not be able to talk to their corp mates.
I never liked the idea of the UVT in the first place. I thought that aurum was only supposed to be for items that could also be gained using isk? Where is the isk UVT? |

I still refuse to spend money on a beta. I will most likely buy some stuff for Dust in the future, but not until it's been officially released. Corp chat so far has been pretty fundamental for organising corp battles and to add this new restriction is just anti-competitive. I'd go as far as saying that this just about crosses the pay to win threshold, which CCP have supposedly been adamant that they don't want to do. I hope they see the error of their ways and reinstate this feature. |

At the very least, Corps /Alliances should be able to rent / lease chats with voice on a monthly basis rather than hitting up all individual members for Aurum. This way no one is excluded from being able to chat with their corps / alliances and CCP still gets their $ for the use of the chat server |

Free corp chat increases the value of UVT. Good corps will use out of game comms like all the EVE corps. People were actually getting back on EVE voice to talk to us. Now they won't even bother. This decision will COST CCP money, not improve their revenue. |

This is all valid. I have never seen people use eve voice before, and over the last few weeks on sisi it was becoming more standardly used. |

Pretty much this.
This was a dumb change to put in until paying for an entire corp at once is in game or there is a way to distribute UVT to members.
One or both. Otherwise this change should be reverted. |

other than the fact that it's beta, I have no problem with paying to voice comms(when it goes live). The way it is priced now you get 4k aur for $1.99 and it cost next to nothing for the UVT. but still, if you are only paying 2 bucks to play this and be able to talk its a great deal.. think about the $60 price tag on other games and the 10 to 20 bucks you pay for every expansion pack.
4,000 Aur for 2 buck, 10 Aur for UVT(30 days)= 400 UVT
so yes CCP is "forcing" you to play a free game and pay $2 if you want to talk to your corp for years(of course that's just the current price) |

This appears to simply be a cost recovery model to cover the payments to their vendor. Remember, the corp channel links to Eve so it uses an outside company who charges for their service.
It's free to play, but CCP isn't going to pay for you to play. |

I got a code for free very early on and have spent $40 so far on beta testin and fully expect to pay $20 every few months. Nowhere else do you pay for things in a beta. You're basically working for free to help them make a quality game.
I know, and have met a lot of people who have paid for the merc pack just to beta test for CCP. I also know one guy who has bought 2 $99.99 aurum packs already. CCP is making money here

The purpose of the UVT was stated MONTHS ago. The fact that Corp was able to use it after player corps were introduced was a bug. remember VC does not go through SONYs servers, it goes through EVE Onlines voice services. CCP in no way tricked anyone as it was stated exactly how a UVT could be used.

Quote: 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.

Q: Why do DUST players have to pay for voice chat and EVE players do not? A: In EVE Online, we can cover the ongoing costs of voice chat through the gameGÇÖs subscription fee. Because DUST is free-to-play, we will need players to cover some of the costs of voice chat.
Q: ArenGÇÖt UVTs a pay-to-win feature since they make communication easier and are only available for purchase with AUR? A: We understand this concern and plan to address it before the game ships via the in-game player market, which will allow players to buy and sell UVTs with ISK, the currency awarded in game.

you don't actually think it will be 1 AUR do you ? The price is subject to change - expect it to be "as much as CCP can get away with".

It's more of a we are a social people and like to talk. Since I can't give friends AUR that are not able to get it, for whatever reason, this is removing functionality that made the game fun.
Even if freeloader stay freeloaders, paying gamers will most likely buy stuff for those really good freeloaders in the group. Options should have been added before the removal was made/fixed.

CCP has said repeatedly the UVT is a nonprofit item. It only exists because they need to pay another company for the voice chat. They are not going to gouge their players on this, expect it to be a pretty cheap aurum item. |

When it initially came out, it was still kinda cheap.. in fact let me pull up the original pricing (before the 1 AUR pricing change)
https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=247120#post247120
60 - 1 Day 150 - 3 Day 250 - 7 Day 900 - 30 Day
A merc pack at the time gave you 4,000 AUR (before x10 AUR change). So you would need to pay $20 3x a year (1 every 4 months) or $60 a year for chat = $5 mo. So it was never more than an eve subscription; but it was enough that people didn't really like how they were priced. Since we are not paying a subscription, CCP does need to somehow recover the cost, but at the same time, not make us feel like they are gouging us.
I think the more resonable question you asked to get answered is: What if you have an EVE account already? Since you are already paying for the voice through the EVE subscription? I would like to see that one answered

-CCP will be putting out a 'corpwide' UVT item that will allow everyone in the corp to use voice in chat regardless of having a UVT of their own
This is the crux of the issue, though. We don't HAVE this item. Let's be honest with ourselves guys- we have to play the role of Dust's pied pipers right now. People burn out due to various reasons, and one of the major ones is that the social aspect of the game is severely lacking right now. We might have large corps, but we can't play with our friends in more than tiny 8 man groups. If we want to play with more than 4, we have to schedule the battle, rather than it being instantaneous and fluid. The one thing that was keeping a lot of people coming back was the ability to activate on corp chat and instantly be in the action with their corp mates.
To restrict the corp channel's voice freedom without giving us access to the corp wide UVT is either a misguided or a hasty decision. Exactly as before, all it will do is fragment the remaining player base and push away those who have been waiting for improvements.
Everyone is willing to pay, but while the corp UVT is in limbo there's only one option- continue to give us corp chat for free. When those corp wide UVT's come out, you can bet your ass we'll be lining up to buy the things. |

The more money grubbing CCP gets, the less I intend on paying. I feel quite uneasy supporting a company that screws its customers. CCP nearly lost me as a customer when they introduced Macrotransactions in Eve and still required a subscription.
Edit: They did lose my girlfriend and her 4 accounts partly because of that move. Also I believe they had about a 10% drop in subscriptions. |

Not to just play Devil's Advocate, but CCP has to pay Vivox for the voice infrastructure. That's part of the subscription cost of EVE, but as a free-to-play game, that isn't an available option. Besides, I would imagine UVTs would have the same lack of market restrictions as other AURUM items, allowing them to be resold by players for ISK.
I would prefer a greater focus on cosmetic items for monetization, as Planetside 2 has proven that even with a buggy-ass game and some shoddy mechanics, you can make bank on camo paint and hood ornaments. I think that would be an option all of us would prefer, but UVTs aren't the end of the world. |

Picking straws.
The thing that you could do in most the F2P and P2P games for 'free' that include Voice or typed chat rooms :: Corp Chat The thing other F2P or P2P (MMO) games make you pay for is usally :: World/Global Chat
It is mostly used as an anti-spam filter for a game that doesn't regulate multiple accounts. It is not used as a game-limitation (as it appears in this case). I agree with the sucking, AUR was never meant to be used as a way to gain a permanent advantage over non-paying members. |

This. From what I've heard, most big EVE corps use things like Teamspeak, vent or mumble rather than EVE's voice chat, but they still pay for the voice chat as part of their subscription, even though they don't use it. Why can't we just use the same servers as them, that have already been paid for? Especially since we're going to be in the same corporations as they, meaning we will be using the same channel as they are. |

Why can't we just use the same servers as them, that have already been paid for? Especially since we're going to be in the same corporations as they, meaning we will be using the same channel as they are. Wait... you think those are paid for already?
You really think CCP paid for 500k voice channels?
Are you... mental? |

And what should we do when/if DUST picks up and grows playerbase as bigas EVE or larger? You suppose that EVE sub's are still paying our voice comm bills? What if DUST has 1mil- 3mil users that use voice comms? You think that that portion of EVE sub that is reserved for EVE-vioce bills are enough? |

Thank you for your patience.
Im glad your looking into this Frame, It will destroy the ability for new players to get invovled and will push them to think this F2P game is going to be full of little 'neccessary purchases' which it's not. Corp chat is one of the only few social features that is currently working well, if half the corp cant use the chat then whats the point?. |

Still waiting to hear why we can't just freeload off the EvE subs, and what about people with EvE accs? Will all EvE players be provided with a monthly UVT to donate to their Dust char, or their friends? Or maybe 30x 1day UVT, 4x weekly, whatever would be best for EvE players trying to contact Dusters.
There could be a great deal of benefit to this, including people subbing for EvE if it works out only fractionally more expensive. |

Because the EVE subs have already been paying for the development of this game and also the development of another game called World of Darkness about vampires i think
This UVT as it is allows all the ppl in a corp to talk to each other which with some corps is already 200+ members, no other game console game that i can think of allowed this either tbh
Dont say MAG either because you could only talk to ppl in your 8 man squad or 16 if glitched, clan deploy later on allowed upto the full 128 but for example at =V= if everyone was on at once 500+ ppl you still couldnt talk to everyone you would need 4 CD open but also that was only talking to ppl in your corp. But also that was when out of game with CD not ingame
Think about custom chat channels that ppl make so corp leaders can get into one and talk about an alliance or whatever without having to drop tags and join someone else for 10min
I can see why ppl dont want the UVT and i can understand it but the UVT is still unfinished and is still getting tweeked as to what channels it will effect and how much AUR it will cost and if we can buy a bunch and give to ppl in our corp or if it will be available for ISK
Right now tho short term solution is get the 4000 AUR package for -ú1.59 and buy 33yrs and 3 months worth of UVTs if you really want to at the current beta price |

I'll gladly pay for my corpwide uvt for my guys tbh i got no issue with that i know they need to make money
I dont mind doing that either. |

If CCP eventually allows selling UVTs on the market, then players can buy them with isk, or perhaps do a private transfer from player to player?
A corporation might even might even buy them for their members. |

Yes, because all of those 500k people definitely have their own corporation, and don't share the same local chat or anything... nope, they get private chats all to themselves...
Seriously? Lolno. They pay for 1 voice server that has thousands of sub-channels. You didn't read what he typed, did you? |

I'm not sure about the whole issue of UVT. I can see both sides though I would quite quickly change my mind should UVT price raise (too much.). From the other viewpoint, a low low cost item that is likely to be bought by a many is great income for CCP.
Regarding the point quoted. Certain sections of Eve has shown great hostility to Dust 514, it would be altogether too easy for them to manipulate the market and price this item out of reach of ISK purchase. |
