Diamond Zerg Taking Solo Away. 36	Posted - 2014.01.13 23:58:00 - [31] - Quote Why would voice communication break immersion? You don't think spaceship pilots would relay orders verbally?

Ptraci 3 R Corporation Boarderline Cartel 1683	Posted - 2014.01.14 00:05:00 - [33] - Quote Eurydia Vespasian wrote: trust me, you fakers have it easier than you know. There's a couple "real" girls in our alliance - not me of course I'm a 40-odd year old crossdresser - and I don't think they get any special treatment. Yeah we'll get the odd noob who will be trying to hit on them the first day or so, but our comms are quite lively with zero awkward silences. I think a lot of it has to do with both the maturity of the corp members, the respect for the other person as a gamer - one of our girls is a seriously pro pvp pilot - and also very much the attitude of the female in question. Yes our comms can get rather crude and primitive and perverted at times, and most of the time she's the one that started it :)
Malcolm Shinhwa Bad Touches 1019	Posted - 2014.01.14 00:16:00 - [34] - Quote I only get on voice coms for fleet actions. Otherwise they seem to be just general b.s. and offensive jokes. I play ze video games to get away from reality, not to hear about Obama, or the ebil Republicans, or how many rugbies the local cricket team knocked into the goalie for 10 knickers or whatever. And I definitely, absolutely, do not need to know who had sex with my mother last night. I know violence isn't the answer. I got it wrong on purpose.

I guess it depends abit on how well oiled the gang is and if they know what to do. I saw some alliance recruiting a while ago, they where non-teamspeak, can't recall the name. Teamspeak was always common in all my corps even from 2004, how far back are we talking :P

Ashlar Maidstone Ideal Empire Ideal Society 48	Posted - 2014.01.14 00:40:00 - [37] - Quote Teamspeak, immersion breaker?? Don't think so, as stated already if you were in a fleet fight and the FC was giving out orders in text chat, you'd be dead before you knew what hit you. That is why Teamspeak is usually required by many corps and fleets and believe me it can save your arse knowing by voice what to do even faster. Sure, there may be some idle chatter about almost everything imaginable but there are some limits in place, such as discussions involving politics and religion, two really big no nos in my book. Anyway, TS is not in no way an immersion breaker and I hate to see what other excuse that comes out from this. FLY RECKLESS!!
Norm Tempesta The Konvergent League Sev3rance 54	Posted - 2014.01.14 00:54:00 - [38] - Quote Oh yes, I really hate it when I miss "warp drive active" . This is a mmo. Communicating in order to get the job done is part of the "immersion".
SmilingVagrant GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 2255	Posted - 2014.01.14 01:23:00 - [39] - Quote Everyone knows in the year 2853 there is no such thing as a radio. All spaceships communicate through smoke signals which is why they have chimneys.

But all corps seem to require it. Beats the Hell out of EVE voice, mutter-mumble, Raid Call and so on. Sure, matter of preference -- but unless you're a scout in Fleet, then all you really have to do 99% of the time is LISTEN...

Tanthos Lumen et Umbra Heimatar Alliance Treaty Organization 73	Posted - 2014.01.14 09:56:00 - [41] - Quote Alright, I'll give it another go. I admit I only tried it once. And that was with another corp.

Its an immersion killer, and I hate it. But all corps seem to require it. Is this a troll? Are you serious? You do know this is based tens of thousands of years in the future right? I am so confused by this guys questions... I mean its like he wants a space-faring game with stone-age comms. Perhaps we should start using smoke signals to communicate instead of text. I mean a keyboard is too "advanced a tech" for space pilots. Why would anyone ever want to be able to "talk" to their members. Who ever heard of communicating in real time. LETS ALL USE CANS ON A STRING!!! THAT WILL WORK! .... I lack the appropriate insult... (for a moderately elloquent guy thats not easy. Fly True, Strike Sure, and Keep Up! Stationmonkey

Just do what I do, if people start talking about football or their kids or whatever, open volume mixer bring down TS and put music on. You'll get a poke if you are needed.

Slade Trillgon Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 1219	Posted - 2014.01.14 12:59:00 - [45] - Quote I am not a fan of voice coms, but I see absolutely no reason why it should be an immersion breaker. I mean if you were really flying these ships into combat, would you not have fleet coms? And would not some of those comms, most of them even, be complete and total garbage prior to combat? To those that say it is an issue with people not wanting to have others hear their voice are short sighted at the best. I am an older CB buff and I can assure you that I have no problem with people hearing my voice. I just am awkward on voice comms as I am unable to gauge the conversation. For example, I always end up talking over people as I am unable to see their body language that would cue me into the fact that they are about to say something. This make things very awkward and I then tend to just sit back and listen, as many that do talk on comms have the opposite problem. They like to hear themselves speak This tactic does make it easy to follow commands though.

"CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!" Never forget.
