I'll be honest, I didn't even know this was a thing.

Probably because the first moment there was a setting to turn her off, I did.

Also, inb4 lock. This is an angry rant and CCP are well aware of the problem.

But yeah, heard about it and saw it happen in one of Zarvox's newest videos.

Whether or not you like the voice is personal, I enjoy it for some things and and willing to accept that it thus works for all things. What i DON'T like is how it buffers your commands and keeps repeating them ad nauseam, like when you're targeting something and spam your drone attack button before targeting is complete.

So a complete on/off switch is fine and we already have, effectively. What would be nice if there'd be some logic behind it that it doesn't spam/buffer the commands.

Except aura voice is important or it wont be a feature of the game so turn the sound off
isn't an option in the first place.
Secondly this is not a rant, this a paying customer complaining over something that should take 24 hr hours to fix by a junior programmer.

There are a lot of features in the game that are not important and you don't need at all, and yet they're in the game. Skins, high-end graphics, and many many more, including Aura. Aura doesn't tell you anything that you can't figure out for yourself. Is there some part of you that forgets you're docking up the moment after you click 'dock' that you need Aura to remind you that you've sent a docking request?

So, if this isn't a rant, and you know exactly how to fix it within 24 hours (because you know exactly what's causing it and know all the code behind EVE because you're an expert hacker), then you'll be able to provide some constructive criticism here and elaborate on the details of the bug for our and CCP's benefit.

Unless you don't know ****, of course, which is why I'm not expecting you to elaborate on a fix at all.

Most modern passenger aircraft have a friendly, computer-generated voice that tells the pilot (should this pilot be unsafely losing altitude,) "Pull up. Pull up." Imagine that being the last thing you hear as your aircraft collides with the ground...or mountain...

"Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up."

Like...you didn't know. Like...someone needed to TELL you.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

I'm not suggesting people turn it off if they like it. All I did was say I turned it off, because you can.

Which is also another way of saying, "hey, if it's that bad, the simple work around is turn it off until CCP get around to fixing it." I could have been more specific but the huffy tantrum-like nature of the OP made me feel a bit snarky.

Careful what you wish for.

Knowing CCP, this is somehow probably tied to jump gate code so if they fix this, the next thing you know players won't be able to jump, or be able to do something else equally useful.

Honestly, it's such an oversight and "wtf CCP" thing, it's not as if they couldn't have figured it out themselves, that it's kinda warranted.

Seatbelts are not optional, they are required by law. Aura is more like the car radio, or a cupholder. Convenient to have, but not needed. Strawmanning me won't change the fact that the game functions just fine without Aura giving you a running commentary. I know, because she's been turned off for me for almost two years now.

My KB speaks for itself, there's nothing to assume. Speaking of assumptions, accusing someone of trolling does not magically make them or what they've said disappear, nor does it make what they're saying a troll.

People keep hurling 'troll' around at everything they see on the internet that they just don't like or sometimes just don't agree with. Go and Google a guy named David Thorne. THAT's trolling. Saying something you just don't like is not trolling.

Aura is like any other alarm in your car ,unessential but adding extra layer of safety to your driving,if one isn't working you put human live to danger .
In game it put myself to danger,i simply refuse this issue to be ignored for days .I m paying for a service and it s maintenance so if i want to complain i do it as i want .
Notice that if my post annoy you as much as that issue annoy me .Feel free to ignore me and walk away, there is plenty of non essential post on this forum where you cant take your white knight fan boy attitute from me.

I'm not sure if you're overstating Aura's importance because you really believe it, or you just haven't been here long.

Although, those two aren't mutually exclusive.

In blackout/white out conditions (time of day, weather, etc) pilots can't always see a land reference and may not know where they are. It's also pretty common for pilots to stop trusting their "gauges" and start doing their own thing regardless of what is actually happening and an alarm telling them exactly what to do is needed.

Military pilots face the additional problem of losing their vision due to high G maneuvers.

Just having a bell go off is meaning less..."Oh my toast is ready, great" *Splat*

Pro tip for posting: The moment you say the words 'paying' and 'customer' together everyone immediately sees 'entitled'.

Pilot, here, licensed for a variety of small private craft, with 1000+ hours logged. Your comment is ignorant and shouldn't even be allowed to remain due to its overwhelming level of stupidity.

Spacial Disorientation is a thing, and it is a deadly thing. It isn't about dealing with somebody who doesn't know, is stupid, or is clueless. It has to do with the forces that are acting on your body that the human body simply hasn't evolved to handle normally, from the physical senses on the body to the visual images reaching your brain.

Senses can be deadened (temporary blindness being the most common), and having redundant alerts for even the most "obvious" of things in a plane can be the difference between a safe flight and ending up a broken splatter on the landscape.
