From way back - oh I dont know when - it was announced that you (CCP) had partnered with Vivox to add in-game voice chat facilities.
There has been much speculation on cost and what features it will in-corporate. Howeve rone thing has been missing from all the announcements is 'When'. From my view on it, especially from a few posts scribed by Oveur back when it was first announced, was that it was a simple integration process and they had seen and tried working versions already. In my mind this said 'Kali 1' release.
Obviously I'm putting in assumptions based on the knowledge I've garnered over time. But I'm looking forward ot this facility in particular and was wondering what stage it was at and if it which part of Kali it's now scheduled for??
Thanks

Who the hell cares? Due to the supposed 'extra' charges for the service, this is about to become the biggest flop in Eve history.
Why anyone would use this(again, assuming it costs $$) over TS is beyond me.
Think about it...server goes down/node crashes/logoffski, people can still talk on TS. This system won't have that 'feature' AND you get to pay for it on top of this.
It is purely LoL material.

I agree Niccolado.. unfortunately however most naysayers are in the vocal majority on the forums, which is a shame really, as people see TS and Vent as the 'Uber' and I afriad for them cant see the wood for the trees.
Blind Man, Dammar. Perhaps if you read my post you would see CCP IS NOT the one doing the coding and integration. And TS still costs 'SOMEONE' money 'SOMEWHERE' down the line. And if CCP were doing the development I would still support it. They have more insight into creating this game which has vision and a future more so than any other MMO, because it's not the same old, same old, Fantasy this and fantasy that. They take risks where other MMO's stay on thier sharded small worlds.
So devs any news on the voice front? Or can I buy you a few beers till you drunkenly tell me all

Seems to me that most of the vocal ones are those who buy their TCs with ISK. I can't see any reason to whine about $1-2 per month.

No kidding... dont have an energy drink or coffee one day a month and you've paid for it. You could find enough in change on the ground in a month to pay for it.

The issue i have with the idea is this:
The time when voice comms are the absolute most critical is when the FC crashes (not all that uncommon, actually). So if the voice comms go down when I disconnect, that's really not going to work. Besides, any way you cut it, a good vent or TS server is still much cheaper than having everyone pay an extra dollar or two.

Umm you can stick that nose as far up ccp's thrust nozzles as you want, it's not going to change whether or not people will use the new voip.
As for being blind...that's hillarious. Because I do not blindly accept whatever some company wants to shovel in my direction, that makes me blind? What's that make you?(your answer is below)
So ccp is licensing the software, or even having someone else do it...this has exactly what bearing on whether it will be 'good' or not? I will admit I am assuming a few things here...however one assumption I've made is that once your client closes(i.e. CTD), you won't be able to talk to anyone, and I think that assumption is a sure bet. (it wouldn't be 'integrated' otherwise, would it?)
Also, last time I checked, TS was freeware. (as UBER as it is...lol, it's software man, not dope and beer. Loyalty or whatever you want to call it is not a factor. Function is primary.)
Risks...ya ccp take risks heh. They innovate...blahblahblah. Have you seen the new 'seemless' map on sisi? Yup, it's pretty **** cool looking, untill you realize it's useless and actually makes the time it takes to plot a course, or whatever, take LONGER than before. Wonder what the risk vs. reward vs. time ratio was on developing that little piece of candy...no doubt it was time that could have been better spent fixing ACTUAL problems, of which there are many. (the map... if somehow the new scanning takes advantage of it in some way I can't see yet, I will retract this statement.)
Don't get me wrong, it sounds like i hate the game, well I don't. Best MMO on the market atm bar none. That, however, doesn't mean it's the pinnacle of perfection either.
I just don't see the point in adding this or being quiet(or vocally pliant like some insist on) about it like a good little zealot.

I won't be using it, re-ganging a fleet after a node crash is bad enough using TS. Its going to be impossible if the voice system gets taken with it...

Right Dammar, I have one simple suggestion to start with. READ. I was not calling you Blind, I was responding to you AND the Char 'Blind Man'. As for thrusting my nose into places I wont say here, perhaps you need to find out the kind of person I am first before you start accusing me of being a 'Brown Nose' or something similar. I do NOT judge you because of your statement, I just argue against the points do not get into 'Name Calling'.
The rest of your arguement is sound, however I do not agree on it at all. After all it's everyones own point of view on the forums. All I would like is some info on the Voice Implementation. Nothing more , Nothing less. If your not going to use it fine, it will probably (IMHO) be your loss. I will, and because I want to, free will and all that, your free to choose not to, I'm free to choose to use it.
Some people have concerns about losing connection etc when the client crashes, and rightly so. I myself dont have crashes, only time is if a node dies, and if I'm on the same node as the gang, well they all disconnect, no loss there imo.
As for the rest fo your agruement, 'Seemless Map' etc. Well thats not what this thread is about, and if you want to talk about that there are a great many more stickies up top for that.

TBH i'm not sure what they mean about "integrated". What i do know is that it was said that the voice servers are separate from the CCP servers. So if the game server crashes the voice comms are still up?? What i don't know is what happens if the voip program only works IN GAME... chaos ftl.
The biggest and main problem i forsee here and as you say is the fact that if people have to pay extra its going to be a major flop for CCP. You are absolutely correct here. Who the hell will be crazy enough to pay extra for something that noone else will use?
CCP, you better enlighten yourself here...  |

What some people fail to see is the level of advantage this service will have over both TS and vent, its fully integrated with the client so no more handing out IP's and passwords to people you don't know, your voice comm's can't be hacked because its all running in-game, its going to be fully integrated with the new gang system and when people speak it will highlight them so you know exactly who's speaking, also this person gets highlighted on the map so no more of the "OMG where are you scout 1" situations, yes it will cost extra and yes there will be a slow uptake to it but i think it will be a useful addition and so far the exact costs aren't even known so at this point saying its expensive is a speculation, before whining i would give it a try and see how well it works before pointing at CCP and screaming that they made a mistake, who knows you miht be surprised :)

There was a short article on this new service in the third EON issue. The article, in part, seemed to hint that voice comms will be available outside game.
Incidentally the number $1-2 per month was mentioned in the same article, and I submit that this is as good as free (I loose more every month in change in my car and clothes closet).

As Im sure you already know Xorus, the majority of people who complain usually do so before actually trying it. Considering that the Vivox service hasnt even been released yet, well its illogical for people to actually state an opinion on it. Still, that has never stopped alot of people on these forums before

A tidbit of info over at mmorpg.com
Linkage
My main concern is alts - I have 3 accounts and don't really want to pay extra for each of them when only one will ever be connected to voice. I could get away with only adding it to one, but it'd be frustrating, given that I don't always have my main online.

I dislike the idea of having to pay extra, as little as it may be, being a student, not having a job I dont exactly have the most money, and what I do have basically goes to EVE 
As such, I dont see the reason to pay more for an integrated voice chat, even though it has certain benifits you wont find in TS/Vent. Especially considering I can use TS and Vent for free.

It's the principle of the thing that turns me off. It's basically paying real life money, for an advantage in the game. That rubs me the wrong way, and it makes me worry about what's next. Battleships for $9.95? Outposts for $499.95? Titans for $1,999.95? It's a slippery slope, in my opinion. I really would prefer that CCP wouldn't do it, and I honestly don't think large alliances will go through the trouble of forcing their members to pay extra, for added in game bonuses, when they could all just use TS.

You mean like investing in a more expensive and obviously advantageous wide band internet connection, a computer with the latest processor and video subsystem, a widescreen monitor? Or how about the advantage of having more free time to devote to the game, or living in a more advantageous time zone? All pretty unfair, in principle. Why not complain about those also? (Third party voice comms solutions arenFt free for everyone either.)
You want better - you pay for it, with money, time, etc.
It remains to be seen, however, just how much better this new service will be.

Yea, except that those things benifit ANY game or app you may be so inclined to use...so your point is invalid.
Why people are so eager to be nickle and dimed to death I really don't understand. Just look at Xbox live....do you really want to see that happen to PC games also?? (and it has to a very small extent already. e.g. oblivion)
I'm not saying they don't deserve to be payed for their efforts, they already are. I'm agaisnt company's inventing new excuses to suck $$$ out of people. Pretty soon they will want cash everytime they wipe their noses.
Just for the sake of arguement, here's a little comparison of the 2 options...
TS- Freeware, Standalone, can rent a server for ~$20/mo.(assuming you dont have a spare puter with enough bandwidth to run your own server)
EveVoip- Notfree, NotStandalone, you will pay $1-2/mo. if you want to use it.
So for an alliance of 1000 people, which is better? Splitting the cost of $20/mo. for TS which works even when the game doesn't or with ANY game for that matter, or all 1000 people paying $1-2/mo for something that only works in Eve and only when it's running?
Who wins?

Also, CCP can't regulate your hardware specs, or internet connection. And believe it or not, CCP can't regulate your free time either! Obviously though, they can regulate if people buy advantages in their games or not though. What exactly is the difference between this service and buying a battleship on eBay? Both things benefit you and your corporation/alliance.
As I said, the whole extra money for a "premium account" thing is very worrying. I'm really hoping the whole program flops (I'm sorry, CCP. I love you guys, but I really do not like this.), and within six-nine months or so, it's just discontinued due to lack of interest.

It is not. You fail logic.

Ignorance ftl. The voice comms service will be provided by a separate company that wants to get paid for it. CCP assists in integration.
The rest of your points are debatable. As for EVE voice popularity, weFll see when the feature is released.

Don't act like this is CCP's gift to the community . They'll still get benefits out of this.

Just thought I'd mention...the voice stuff is on sisi, at least some of it.
2 things I've seen:
-in the audio options screen, there is a 'audio wizard' button which sets up your mic.
-if you right-click on a user chat channel tab there is a 'join audio' option. (this option does not appear on local or npc corp channel tabs.)

CCP - please ignore the whinging here. I think integrated voice coms will revolutionise the game. It will make the new map and scanning techniques the most awesome audio-visual tools.
Imagine scanning down a safe spotted carebear in under a minute and before you know it - they are scrammed and dying.
Comms is a core component of this game for PVP. Anything you do to enhance it is worthwhile.

I seem to distinctively recall CCP stating somewhere (probably in one of the blogs, I'm feeling rather lazy right now), that alternative payment plans for corps and alliances might be provided. (e.g. CEO or director pays set sum, entire corp gets corp voicechat)
Depending on how exactly that is integrated, it might not even be more expensive than a corp renting a TS server.
It's still a 'little' early to go all boo-hiss at the idea of voice-comms integrated into the game. I also can see a lot of possible advantages with a good integration.

Help the horses, make proper use of that shift button. |
