The few times I've had to use it the voice was twice as loud as anything else the game was making, and no current volume control affects it. I had to physically turn my speakers down.


that's also out of my hands. chatting, voice comms and all, is not my department ;)

Errrr... stupid question.

Do we get to set bass, treble, depth or whatever it is called, too?


Uhm.... equalizer?


no ;)



I'm guessing no option for VST plugins then? Big smile



no of course there will be a VST option, just to make you able to *Snip* Please refrain from using profanity. ISD Ezwal. have sound go through all kinds of reverb and so on.

even a stream, straight into max/MSP, kind of like a max4live thing, so you can make it all totally glitchy and all the equalizing you want :D

Looks like Ezwal went balls deep right there.

What about hairstyles?

Also short skirts of the leather or latex variety, leg tattoos and hosiery?

I agree to leg tattoos.

And a proper posing stage to show them off in portraits.

While really cool, can I be the grumpy one and state that lasers in general and Tachs in particular need better sound effects? If 8 tachs firing don't make your weewee change from flaccid into rock hard it's NOT the right sound.

Can you guys maybe hire another guy to do music? Like, not to replace Jon or anything, but maybe in addition to him? Not really getting much in the way of new music these days.

Don't know . I'm not the boss of things like that.
I agree that music hasn't been changed much for ages.

I did some stuff for some of the missions for Rubicon, but that's about it actually.

Oh, yea. ABOUT THAT....


Can you guys like, also maybe consider removing the music activation on FW plex acceleration gates? It's kinda.... out of place. I mean there's like one rat. Right now lowsec actually has decently creepy music, and it always gets interrupted by the same two blaring, out of place rock tracks usually involving the death of one rat and then solitude for a length of time.


It's kind of anti-immersion.

Could you at least pass word along to the correct people, possibly in the form of a note tied to a brick? Smile

CCP WhiteNoiseTrash I love what you are doing and I'm patient , I understand how many great ideas you guys have but it takes time to implement everything and do it correctly, i completely sympathize with that. I have a ongoing fantasy with Eves sounds (in particular voice) That i would love to see someday, 2 years? 5years? I can wait, I love Eve and the direction it's going. Basically I would love to see voice cues for almost everything. With the option to turn it off of course. A adaptive voice system that could call out every ship in the game, "Locked on by maller class cruiser" "sustaining (light, medium, Heavy)(Em,Th,Kn,Ex) Damage." If your Tank holds after some time a auditory cue, "Shield/Armor strength stabilizing integrity" or something to that effect. This could be applied to many aspects of the game from combat,probes,triage etc. Hey i can dream can't I? The idea sounds great in my head anyways.

Question about the audio in eve: I love some of the soundracks, unfortunately all of the ones I like only play in hisec. I spend most of my time in null, so I rarely get to hear them. Would it be possible to include a "shuffle all" option in the audio options?

We really, really......really....need some musical tracks for nullsec. Right now nullsec has no music, just ambient background noise. Whenever I go back to high sec (which is rarely), and I hear below the asteroids, I'm reminded of just how critical that experience is to Eve, and how music enhances the connection to the game and increases a player's overall enjoyment. We're missing out on that experience entirely at the moment and it's a real shame.

While you're not the boss of things like that, surely you can talk to the ones who are and make a good case to them for it?

5 plex in game, and we can talk about ;)

joke aside. everything you guys say here, it goes into my poll of thoughts about what will happen next.
I have a giant list of stuff that I constantly change and I speak to people around the office all the time, regarding stuff like this.

Now we're talking.

all this, perhaps not with voice, but something else.
is something I brainstorm a lot.

technically, it's still music.
but I know what you are saying - they are far too drone like, to be anything but mood changers and they are far to monotonous to actually change the mood after too long in there.

NOW! EUROVISION!!!! see ya
