Um... you really think ingame voice chat will work? Look how laggy just opening a window is at times.

Think I'll be sticking to Vent whenever the voice chat is released.

Why not read the info regarding VIVOX? It clearely says it wont effect the servers at all. and only the client a little. So if you have a reasonable updated PC you will do fine. VIVOX wont be run from CCP but from VIVOX!

Because everything that have been launched worked in main? No point waiting with releasing a product if the KNOWN bugs are insignificant. Also remember a lot of the hidden bugs float up under usage. So no one knows before its launched.

And then ofcource you have the serious bugs or faults that must be sorted before launch. Which might be the case with Vivox? Maybe they are doing tests? Take Revelations. All in all it was a perfect launch. Small bugs still making it a little laggy at certain places, but for me who steers away from Jita - the game is as smooth as a babys rear end.

CCP have proved to take this serious. Im in no doubt that VIVOX will do the same thing.

WE have nothing to do with CCP's launches and WE don't control how complete things are, we're just forum mods and i was trying to answer your you're question :)

Im definitely going to sign up for it. It have proved to be way better then TS/Vent on SiSi. Not just in quality of codec but also strategically, when planning wars and sieges. You simply have great control ingame! no switching to desktop. No spies entering channel. etc. It will bring war a step closer perfection for sure!

Im sure that there will be corporations out there who will have VIVOX as a requirement in the future. No doubt. But seriously, 10 dollar a year is nothing. The quality is top notch and its integration with EVE superb. It will prove to be a a advantage over others who dont have it, so slowly people will come from TS to VIVOX because if your enemy have it, and they get an advantage from it, then you have to follow Twisted Evil

But honestly. 10 dollar a year. EQ2 have special features too you can pay extra for to receive. And thats integrated on their homepage. statical information etc. CCP and VIVOX will give us a dedicated EVE voice channel where the sound quality will overrule TS. I see no reason to stay with TS since it always breaks up and scratches now and then. Some times I miss whole sentences because of it!

Besides.. 10 dollar. thats just 1 beer at a bar here in Norway... And Believe me. I drink more then one beer when Im out.. Razz

Being a bit in the know on this product, I've heard all's fine and that they're just waiting for a smooth time to release.

Maybe new bugs unveiled themselves, but last time I checked, this product was working perfectly....

If it'll be free, I'll use it.

I'm already paying for the game, and TS/Vent also need financing. AND you can use them for ANY game, not just EVE. What's better?

For those wanting to use it for just EVE, Vivox would be better if and only if it uses less RAM/CPU time, has a higher quality codec, etc.

Is this some new design philosophy from the devs?

Wait, you can't really be wanting Eve to be run more like Sony runs their games...

Ok... well my opinion on all of this (because everyone cares about my opinion cause... I'm awesome... duh?) is:

A LOT was suggested by the forum and the sisi community in the huge Vivox thread link in my sig. And that was while Kali was still on sisi. So I think CCP is just trying to appease us by adding all the cool features we just HAD to have! I think they're also probably working on some very key features to make the product more competitive to the pre-existing voice chat clients. Of course I don't know FOR SURE cause I haven't talked to a dev in... God knows how long... haven't really been active on sisi since all the new toys hit TQ... Bad Nate BAD!
