being new to the game i've heard a lot of talk on this subject and i agree that having to pay to talk is a bad idea.
i'm a disabled person and can't work so i have limited funds and can't aford to keep paying for things you get free on other games.we pay enough when we buy the games and dlc's on the highstreet.

so my suggestion...KEEP IT FREE or if they have to charge a one off payment

What the "other games" you are referring to? I haven't heard about any game on consoles that allow to voice chat with someone outside of a squad/team. The only game that may have it is DC Universe online (or how this PS3 MMO is called), but I'm not sure.

Voice chat outside of a battle is for easy organization. It doesn't provide you with any advantages in a battle. Therefore it's a "comfort" like feature and hence you need to pay for it.

Also you don't need to pay to buy DUST and DLCs (major updated after release) will be free also. Imagine you've paid 60$ for DUST. Then calculate how many months of UVT you can afford. If it's less than one year, then start to complain.

I'm hoping that, when we get the ability to deploy a full pre-assembled team (and if we DON'T get that option, I'll be sorely disappointed), this will extend to the team chat channel having open voice outside of battle as well.

If a person desires to be in a corp, then they have to pay out of pocket??!!?? Really!!??!!. BS, WTF!! Being in a corp is the very basis of eve interaction and the MMO side of it. TAKE IT BACK CCP!! You can still get Corp membership and text chat without needing to buy UVTs. And you can still get squad and team chat with corpmates. Just join a squad with some corpmates, and talk all you want. Queue-sync to get into games together, and talk with larger groups of your corpmates. No, it isn't perfect, but it's better than paying money for a free game. And it's as good as most PS3 games give you.

There is nothing better than hearing your whole corp at the same time. Sure we can type but us console players rather communicate with the microphone! Sometimes pre battle plans are better disscussed in the corp chat and not in the pre battle lobby. And if we get the ability in future to put together a whole team rather than just a 4-person squad? You won't have the whole corp, but you'll have the whole team available to discuss strategy with. Also, CCP have said they're "looking into" a possible corp-wide UVT item that can be purchased by a single player to open up Corp voice chat. it's not a guaranteed feature that's definitely coming, but it's being considered as an option.

Quote: Why didn't they just put players in Team Chat? That's a question I've been asking for a while now. Along with "why is voice chat turned off by default?" and "why do we have push to talk enabled by default?" Quote: Fortunately, Timmy decided to join a corporation, the corporation members told him he had to buy a UVT to chat with them though. CCP are known to be "looking into" options for a single-purchase corporation-wide UVT item. Also, when there's a player market and a corp armoury to go with the corp wallet, it's possible player corporations will be able to provide their members with UVTs. And lastly, on a less serious note... Quote: He hardly knew these people! Why would he invest in talking to them? He wanted to have fun corp battling other corps, not chit chatting with other players. Timmy doesn't seem to understand the basics of social interaction.

If it's less than one year, then start to complain. Based on the results of this thread (5 pages so far), there seem to be only 2 games with a free equivalent to corp chat. DCUO is one, and EVE Online is the other. So if you're looking exclusively for consoles, you have.... DCUO. And even that's arguable because you have to pay for a subscription to create your "League" in the first place.

You have to pay to talk OUT OF BATTLE. in-mission voice is still free. For both squad and team channels. All they really need to add is a team deploy option so we can group together multiple squads and go into battle with more than just 4 people, all with voice comms while waiting to fight and once you're on the field.
