Voice Commands

<< < (2/2)

GeoRmr:
You guys are happy that the voice command filter interferes with the regular chat filter? I'm sorry but this is extremely problematic.

Thomas:
I can't think of a scenario where the chat filter is an issue. Do you have something specific in mind?

GeoRmr:
I use 3 commands in quick succession, for example enemy sighted astern, enemy sighted on starboard beam, turn ship starboard side. The flood detection happens, I am in the middle of a conversation in text chat and am un-able to manually type messages because of using voice commands. If at any point the flood detection activates and I neglect to wait the alloted period of time even more seconds are added to the cool down. WHY SHOULD VOICE COMMAND COOL DOWN STOP ME TYPING IN CHAT?

My other concern is how easy it is to trigger the voice command filter when using them legitimately. I hope other non-microphone users who use the voice commands can comment on this. In panic situations it can be desirable to say more than one thing every three seconds, and failure to perfectly time 3 seconds between each command exponentially increases the cool down. THIS IS NOT FAIR.

With the increased ease of holding tab to block people in game I don't feel that removing the filter will give rise to huge numbers of trolls, but will allow their legitimate use to be more fluid and effective.

I speak as a non-microphone user who is involved in this games competitive scene, I strongly feel that this is a problem that should be addressed. The imagined scenario happens extremely frequently and I implore anyone who disagrees to play this game using voice commands and no microphone for a day.

The captain can look at an enemy ship and press B to put cross hairs over a ship. Would probably be more noticeable if it came with a voice command like "Target Pyramidion", but then would get a little confusing if the enemy has the same ship types.
