Voice Chat is in for Kali 1? I thought that was Kali 3.
It's not too bad having Voice Chat on the keyboard. I bet that's where most people have their voice binds already.
Sorta wish the whole game could be played with the keyboard, to be honest... |

Everyone I know binds chat to mouse... it's just easier and doesn't take up the important keyboard binds. -Nate™ |

The voice chat is only limited to player created channels it seems... which is kind of sad because I would have liked to see it in use on the language channels.
When setting up your mic it freazes EVE... to get eve running again you must alt-tab out of the game to find the audio wizard. Once configured or canceled you can return to playing the game. It would be nice if the wizard was built in or if it was easier to find.
If you don't have a mic, it's ok because you can choose to just listen like in any other voice chat software.
No clue yet about moderation or anything... I'm going to try and test that next. I'm also going to see if there's a way to indicate that you have no mic. Because I was testing earlier with a guy that had no mic and his voice chat symbol didn't change... so that kind of sucked.

Its useless imho since it requires more money per month for everyone on it and cant be used out of game. I will continue to sponsor a ventrilo server for my corp. |

The Chat channel TESTVIVOX is what I've been using to test the voicechat...
Moderation: moderation is the same as before there are only 2 options Mute and Kick
Extra sounds: When someone leaves the voice chat it makes a sound this should be made optional because I find it very destracting and haha... it kind of makes me jump when I'm not expecting it.
There is NO way to show that you don't have a mic! - issue
I have 1 problem with the voice chat. Voices and extra sounds have decided to come out of my built in pc speaker... my system default sound device is my usb headset... There is no way to change where the sounds are coming out! VERY ANNOYING!

Yeah the sounds were a little strange.
I don't like the fact that the bind has to have me press two buttons. On my keyboard I was using the Ctrl and apps key under the right shift key.
It's sort of sticky to use... it hasn't caught on for me so far, but more testing awaits! |

It's very sleak, very fast, and very LAG FREE! And currently if we can work past a few of the issues then I find it VERY worth-while*... -Nate™ *depending on cost of service |

Every once in a while there is a very loud high pitch sound that kind of sounds like the busy tone on a US phone... it doesn't last very long and it doesn't seem to be related to anything that happens in the channel i.e. users coming or going...
VERY BIG ISSUE the sounds made by warping, shooting... whatever that can't be turned off MUST GO! It's very hard to hear and understand people while you're warping or doing something... we must have control over those sounds!

keyboard/mouse button bindings are being worked on. Not sure what the decision is at this time. as for the talk indicator being blocked/mixed with the buddy icon, this would be a bug, and would need a bugreport. |

At the risk of flamage....no wait this IS testing...will this voice chat integration be available to those of using Linux/Cedega?
If the client functions, and the voice chat doesn't, there will be a bit of upset from our commmunity.
EVE Revelations is also still throwing the following error when attempting to start the client with cedega 5.2.7:

Could I be so bold as to suggest enlarging the icon and placing it over the character portrait? It'd help locate it really quickly ideal for large fleets rather than looking for a tiddly little icon while scrolling downt he list quick while someone shouts... I'm over here help I'm dying!!! (Come on every alliance has at least one pilot like this!) Cheers Harcole |

Cool I've bug reported most of the Issues... But while you're here Mephysto... You'd hire me if you had the choice right? I'm a really cool guy! I'd be an amazing asset to the Dev Team! Well... just think about it will ya? And put in a good word eh? -Nate™ |

Though i am having some trouble making the interface appear, I have managed to bind talk to ctrl + ctrl and the system did not yell at me. |

Ah yes... binding the same keys together like Ctr-Ctr makes your mic a constant on... kind of annoying. I'll put this in issues and bug report it. -Nate™ |

If you have a USB headset and have an enabled sound card you may not be able to hear the voices through your headset! Even if your headset is the default input and output the only manual fix to this is to disable your sound card.

My personal feelings about the voice chat is that there are a few issues that need to be addressed before I put my money into it but it's a very impressive first look at this feature. The main thing that I'm concerned about is having more control over all of the EVE sounds. If most of the issues are address I will definatly be making the voice feature a part of my monthly subscription.
Just for the sake of having personal feelings,

Suggestion: add option to automatically mute background sounds (i.e. "normal EVE sounds") when the ingame voice comm is active. That way you could still keep the normal sounds on if you like, but have them fade whenever someone talks. |

Makes me want to yell over the warp sound... haha but I forget that no one else hears it... -Nate™ |

Need to be able to choose separate devices where the sounds come/go from the voice chat and for game sound effects. For example, at the moment my in-game sound effects come from my main speakers and only ventrilo uses the USB headset. |
