You the man! By the way, very nice cookies! Would have been nice to see another dev's reaction when they ate them. They looked very delicious.

To the OP: I always use hotkeys, in your case holding Q+left click on the target in the overview will approach you to it most likely without the error. No comment on the aura voice. Big smile

I've been using approach, then open container to loot wrecks and avoid the repetitively annoying Aura message. It's inefficient, but incrementally less infuriating than hearing that stupid warning again and again and again.

Don't be that guy.

As for the question and concern, at this point in time we can't really give and answer on this, given that most of the Dev team are away on Holiday vacation, but I'll bring the concern to the attention of the team working on Aura.

If anyone else feels the need to throw insults around in this thread, be aware that I'll happily hang the battered remains of your forum posting privileges on my Christmas tree as a decoration.

could you include mentioning to the aura team an option to use the old aura voice that is unanimously preferred over the new one?

I really want a co-pilot like R2-D2 whistling at me when I get target locked by someone.

Custom sounds would be amazing! I would support that F&I.

The only issue is that there isn't an option in advance audio for this. For veteran players, yes it can be annoying. On the other hand it's extremely beneficial for new players.

For me the main problem isn´t Aura but that I can´t use double click on wrecks to approach AND loot which I ALWAYS did pre-patch. I guess since the new tutorial does a great job of explaining the 'approach and then when in range loot the wreck' procedure this is not about to change but I'm currently in the process of learning to do it the 'correct way' and find it exceptionally annoying.

I would have to agree that an option to remove the vocal spam regarding the "error message" for those that use the loot button to steer us over to a wreck rather than the approach button would be very much appreciated.

Any constant error message via voice is annoying, other games have them, and include options to turn said "reminder" off if a player desires. EvE is a bit different as some of the voice reminders can be critical, but this specific one is more like being nagged at by your own ship.

As Aura is quite useful with certain reminders, aka things that are very helpful to know during combat, this small and very frequently spammed message while you salvage/loot for a relatively unimportant incident is just not important enough for a player to want to use the "solution" of not receiving ANY reminders at all.

I would also be fine with removing the voice prompt regarding range to a looted wreck entirely. Especially since the ship will use that button press to steer us over to the wreck anyways.

double click will also try to open the cargo of the wreck. i think that is what triggers the response from aura as you are not within range to do that. of course you only wanted to approach it in the first place so the response might irritate you. i always navigate this way too and it's a bit annoying to hear it everytime you want to approach a wreck :)

I do not understand it.

I really do not.

Why is not this bug repaired already?

What you waiting for?

We had BONG effect before... what an great idea...

Now we have audio coment on every can loot.

Good job guys.

Are those people, who making those BENEFICIAL changes, are those people also players? Do they play games? Do they play EVE?

Because no real player will add BONG or hundreds audio coments for looting cans.

Please, fix it.

And find for those people, who creates those... new things... find for them something else to do. Maybe vacation with sun and drinks and fun?

Thank you.

Please get rid of the "You have to be in range to execute this function" voice line. It is annoying and I always wish there would be a way to "execute" the new aura without shutting audio off ;)

Step1: Kill Aura team
Step2: Switch Aura message to Display message instead. (No sound, just a text display message)
Step3:??????
Step4: PROFIT

so what, no fix any more bugs, until a cure for cancer and AIDS found?

This "you need to be in range..." thingy is annoying, and needs a switch to be turned off. period

Just remove the voice samples for aura entirely and replace with a modern speech synthesis system, where we can edit the prompts/pitch/tempo via sliders
That way we all get personal sounding ship computers and we can CHOOSE what they say.


Saves paying a voice actor too...

No its not a major problem...not even a minor....

I'm not annoyed and i find the new aura voice better.....

And there ARE far bigger problems than a couple of people beeing annoyed by a voice you can always turn off......

What is the saying?

If you can't adept to it,this is no game for you......

And furthermore THIS IS NO BUG

So no need to "fix it" soon...

According to patch notes for 1/10/2017 the annoying range error message will be removed.

Thank you, CCP for listening!
