So, considering that the voice pack has been out for some time, I was wondering
a) what people think of it
b) if anyone wants to do another voicepack (we'd desperately need a female voice actor)
c) if there are commands that you think should be added.

we will soon add another voicepack, so you can select your voice via website. Once we use WSE you will also be able to select the pitch of your voice.

[Varric]

I don't use it enough.

[gazda]

Personally I think it doesn't matter, if there are by any chance some tactics on the public battle (and even siege) servers, it is ordered and agreed via normal team chat,

[Classical]

I think we can all agree we need more voice commands about stairs.

[Espu]

It needs to be less detailed. I talked about this with someone, can't remember who.

Like:
Q-Q-Q Cavalry
Q-Q-W Infantry
Q-Q-E Archers

Q-W-Q Incoming
Q-W-W Defend
Q-W-E Attack

Q-E-Q Left
Q-E-W Center
Q-W-E Right

Ofc more voices. But not individual full voices for each detailed command "Incoming infantry from right" would become QWQ, QQW, QWE.

Less immersive, sure, but infinitely more useful.

[Vibe]

we will soon add another voicepack, so you can select your voice via website. Once we use WSE you will also be able to select the pitch of your voice.

Nice, so I'll be able to make a very girly male voice?

[Timotheusthereal]

We have female player base, maybe I should ask Kairi to help chadz with this

[Everkistus]

I agree. Also whistle needs to be something simpler, since it's useful for calling horses and warning.

[Gingerpussy]

I realy dont use the voice so often as i should, simply becouse its to compicated after my taste.

A two hit voice would be better. And the most important one would be.

1: Enemy behind you
2: Cav behind you

As a commander:

Make shield wall
All go left side
All go middle
All go right side

[Arked]

Navigation in voice commands menu is good, but i feel it needs voice of true Panzermarine Georges!

[SkyrayFox]

I think there are way to many voice commands now. They should be simplified, and the number of key combinations reduced.

Also the position of commands is not practical, usually people play with WSAD and mouse. Example: If I want to say [l] [C] [Q] incoming cavalry from the left flank I need to move my hand from WSAD keys to the other side of the keyboard leaving me vulnerable and unable to move/defend myself for these few seconds. That is the primary reason I don't use half of them.

From my experience the most used commands right now (At least on battle servers, I don't play siege often) are:

Code: [Select]

[A] [X] Charge!
[F] [R] Archers!
[F] [I] Infantry!
[F] [H] Hold!
[F] [F] Keep formation!
[F] [X] Fall back!
[F] [A] Release Arrows!
[F] [W] Shieldwall!
[F] [D] Stand closer!
[F] [M] Follow me!
The rest is almost never used, and even if it is nobody pays attention.

I also believe the commands should only be visible for the battalion you are in. There could be a number of global commands, the rest will be visible only to the people in their Battalion.

The global commands could be:

Code: [Select]

[Q] (Global)
[Q] [D] [1/2/3/4]Infantry Join Battalion 1/2/3/4 !
[Q] [D] [A] Infantry, Attack !
[Q] [D] [S] Infantry, Hold !
[Q] [D] [X] Infantry, Fall back !

[Q] [C] [1/2/3/4]Cavalry Join Battalion 1/2/3/4 !
[Q] [C] [A] Cavalry, Attack !
[Q] [C] [S] Cavalry, Hold !
[Q] [C] [X] Cavalry, Fall back !

[Q] [A] [1/2/3/4] Archers Join Battalion 1/2/3/4 !
[Q] [A] [A] Archers, Attack !
[Q] [A] [S] Archers, Hold !
[Q] [A] [X] Archers, Fall back !

Battalion commands (Only visible to players in their battalions):

Code: [Select]

[F] (Formation)
[F] [W] Shield Wall !
[F] [A] Form Left !
[F] [D] Form Right !
[F] [S] Stand Closer !
[F] [X] Turn Around !

[A] (Attack)
[A] [A] Attack Left !
[A] [D] Attack Right !
[A] [W] Charge !
[A] [S] Hold !
[A] [X] Fall back !

[D] (Defend)
[D] [A] Defend Left !
[D] [D] Defend Right !
[D] [W] Defend Front !
[D] [S] Keep Formation !
[D] [X] Defend Back !

It would also be nice if players could be automatically put into their corresponding battalions based on the class they play. I was thinking about maybe a simple checkbox on the character page were we could choose our class (Infantry/Cavalry/Archer/Other).

If players select Infantry when they join the game they will be automatically put in Battalion No. 1, Archers in Battalion No. 2, Cavalry in Battalion No.3 and so on. Clans and other players can still choose different battalion if they want to play together (there are 9 if I'm right).

Then it's just the question of taking leadership of each corresponding group. Maybe if someone takes the flag of their battalion a small notification could pop up (In different chat colour): SkyrayFox is now commanding Battalion No.1 !

[Elerion]

I like SkyrayFox's post. Except I would also keep "incoming xxx from yyy" commands global. Those are actually among the most useful commands in battle.

Great idea.

I hardly ever use the commands, because people don't listen or react to them, half the playerbase is spamming them for no apparent reason and it takes me too long to find the one I'm looking for. While I'm looking for it, I can't defend myself and I will most likely be killed before I've used the command.

[Ginosaji]

1: Enemy behind you
2: Cav behind you

This. I always whistle to warn people about something, because I can't type the apropriate sequence to say "incoming infantry from behind" in time. But people don't understand my whistling very often, so something like a simple "Watch out!" would be cool. Or some short "Pony/Ninja from behind", as suggested by Ginger.

[Rogue]

To be honest the only command I ever use is Q M V.
