EVE Online players can now take their in-game communication up a notch with the recent announcement from CCP of an upcoming voice communications feature. According to the developers, this new feature will give players “the ability to abuse one another more effectively and quickly” within local system chat channels without typing out messages. It will also give old bitter vets lost in space flashbacks to EVE Voice in the early 2010s, which the newer developers probably weren’t aware of.
“We saw what you all could do to one another when we blacked out local chat in 2019,” said CCP Lemmings, a developer you’ve never heard of before, in a statement. “Go ahead, you filthy animals. Enjoy the heavy mouth-breathers in Jita!”
The new voice comms system will be released in the next major patch. It will come with various customizable options, including voice modulation settings allowing ISK-doubling spammers to rejoice in sounding like Satan himself as they burn poor newbros. The new feature will ultimately enable players to cuss and yell more freely and quickly with their corp mates or other players within the same system.
The widespread implementation of voice comms in EVE Online is just the latest example of CCP’s commitment to providing its players with innovative tools and features that enhance the gaming experience, like ongoing free skin giveaways in daily rewards and constant PLEX sales. And now that voice comms are available in EVE Online, gamers can look forward to the whale noises in TiDi fights and find out who in that other alliance is racist.
