this is bull crap, now i have to pay to talk?
what they need to do is make the AUR items and weapons cost more if needed (i know they do need to make money)
but give me my free voice chat back.
i mean if this what its like in the beta what is it going to be like when the full game comes out.

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.

now if they were still making the game for ps3 and xbox 360 they would have had free corporation chat because xbox 360 users has in game vioce chat. ccp is taking advantage of the ps3 RAM problem. just because the xbox 360 is out of the picture they should not include things that they wouldn't have included if another system wason here

I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
30 day UVT costs 10 AUR, so using math I know 1 year of UVTs equals 120 AUR, and going farther than that, 1200 AUR for 10 years of continuous use. The merc pack comes with 40,000 AUR. Do you REALLY THINK you are going to play this game for more than 333 years? Because that's when the 40,000 AUR will run out.

Seems like you people cry for the sake of crying. HTFU.

The UVT or Universal Voice Transmitter is meant to give a channel voice and allow us to speak with one another. With the recent patch, you must now buy a UVT with AUR. AUR is a micro transaction currency that you spend actual cash on. The concept of the idea is okay for user created rooms but it destroys the purpose of corporations. CCP wants the game to be a tactical first person shooter. This is a step in the wrong direction for tactical first person shooters. Corp chat was a great way to form squads, play out tactics before entering the war room and just having an over all fun time without the use of spend real money. With this recent change, CCP has limited Corp functions since now you can't use voice in your corp unless you have AUR and buy a UVT.

This is a petition to change the voice back to the way it was without the use of UVT in corp.

These are also some of my suggestions regarding the voice change in corp and ways to make it player friendly.

Set up the corp to were it requires a set amount of ISK to use the voice function. Say like 10 million each month.

or

Make the UVT a ISK item but increase the price to make up for the cost.

or

Make a transaction so that you can spend ISK to get AUR.

Right now these changes will cause ether corps to leave the game or force players to use 3rd party software so that can have voice.

CCP, give us our voice back!!!

WHY TIMMY DIDN'T PLAY DUST514

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Timmy who was mildly interested in dust514... He was a rather normal boy who liked gaming and played many other games, he was totally open to the idea of supporting a game he loves, much like he would support a band whose music he loves. He looked forward to such a game and intended to play it.

Dust514 was released and he downloaded the game. As soon as he started playing, he noticed players were divided into 4 man squads rather than simply being put into teams. He did not know whether to pick squad chat or team chat, he could never know if players were on one or the other or if players in other squads had microphones... Why didn't they just put players in Team Chat? It seemed needlessly complicated to him, he couldn't possibly be conscious of this ever match and gradually gave up. Timmy was disappointed, he found Dust514's gameplay rather uncompelling. Every match had players running around like headless chickens with assault rifles... For without communication, there can not be coordination and without that, there are no tactics and without that there are no counter tactics. The game's promise of deep futuristic combat with specialized roles was unfulfilled for him...

Fortunately, Timmy decided to join a corporation, the corporation members told him he had to buy a UVT to chat with them though.

He was shocked and angered!

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. He was allowed in without UVT anyways though because he was so talented, he played a few corp battles and even won, but he never got attached to the community or the world of New Eden, he never developed that sense of rivalry and comradery with his corpmates that hooks other players, he could never convince himself to pay for such things, they were free in other games and in real life.

Time passed, Timmy played, but moved on as soon as another over-hyped FPS was released. He loaded it into his PS3 and saw players running around like headless chickens. There was no suspense, no sense of persistence, no deep character development, but atleast he had voice chat and that made his experiences far more organic and memorable with his real life friends. He never became conscious of being part of something larger with dust and so it was no different from this game, he played this new game, running around the same maps over and over, yelling at people, telling them how terrible they were and how pissed he was about it, much like a headless chicken, it was fun. Eventually he deleted dust514 from his HDD and lived happily ever after.
