Next time OP with a more of a Conversation argumement instead of a fustration opener cause I'm still not 100% wtf your on about

I'm sorry, just can't let this one go...

How do you correct someone about their spelling, then go on to make grammatical errors yourself.

And what the hell is wingeing ?!?!  Still trying to figure that one out.

However, don't feel badly, YOU'RE not the only one in this thread (or countless others) who have done it.

Hey all,

 

It's been awhile since I've messed w/any in-game voice command software, (years actually, the last I tried was Game Commander 2) and since I'm gonna be spending the next 3/4 of my life *grin* playing SWTOR I'm thinking about trying out the latest, greatest voice command software with it, to take a little of the load off. Problem is, after some quick Google-Fu, it's not looking like there's been much activity in in-game voice command software development, so thought I'd ask in here where all the gamers hang out.

Anyone aware of a really GOOD program that's current, and hopefully actively developed? Preferably also able to recognize and use a bluetooth headset?

 

TIA!

GD

youtube mate!

You can just watch videos of games and dont even have to talk.

do we really need gaming to get even easier and even less interactive lol?

Not trying to knock on you mate, sorry if i seem that way. But games are getting so easy recently this would just be the death of them for me.

Easier?,,,Not sure it would be...switching from button mashing to voice activation of abilities... I just don't see how voice activating every ability each time it's needed is easier.

oh... and ps. before you go on and on about WOW and its vast numbers and place as king of mmos... remember this truth.... a VAST MAJORITY of its players are asian gold farmers with multiple accounts who use it as a genuine "job" and make very real $$ to live on from it. 

i liked wow a lot. but lets be honest with ourselves about it. a lot of wow fans have a vested interest in wow staying on top... its their career and a lot fo them flood these message boards to protect their careers by putting down anything new that comes along

LOL...I lived in NPR for a very long time....I'm now in LoL...can't tell you how surprised I was to see where your little bar is located!!  30 minutes away!!

Yes actualy it is im not talking about some far off dungen where people are fighting over mobs im talking about just about any zone in the game. Yes you could kill these mobs solo but takeing 5 min to get group up(and yes it rarely took longer then that) you would get a little better xp and you "get" to be in a group.

Grouping back then was why I played i didnt care about lvling up in fact i never hit cap i played for around 2 years and just kept makeing new classes. When you played there wasnt this theres nothing to do untell i hit cap its wow there some interesting mobs over here lets find some people and see if we can kill it. That is whats gone from games today actualy "wanting" to get a group to just mess around if you where to try people would just lol or ignore you.

And still you don't get it. Ok, you made all these friends and had great social interaction. Then you did it again. And again. How deep was that social interaction again?

So....the social interaction he enjoyed is not "deep"?  All because he disagrees with you?

You almost lost me at "more faimiliar fantasy setting", I prefer Sci Fi. I don't play EvE because I want to be a person not a ship, but I degrees. Love bullet point ideas. I would add. -Traditional RPG combat. No twitch/action. - A creature handling system similar to SWG pre cu. You roll that up in a nice package and could have me for years, even in a fantasy setting.

I was a creature handler pre cu...loved it....I would love to see that type of system again.

A word of advice, PVE only servers, at the end of the day your game needs to make money, please make at least one or two pve servers, these will be your biggest moneymakers- or at least have pve only zones (ahem good reason to put in those more diverse human starting areas/kingdoms I am speaking about). FFA pvp should either have its own areas or its own servers, if its prevalent throughout the game those douches will keep alot of your potential playing base away and you won't make as much money.

Oh and a good story and some questing- it should have some themepark elements for those new to this type of game, not alot, and the quests can be totally optional, but I would use these quests as a tutorial on how to play the game.

I hope the games story is good if you need help in designing aspects of the world story and its lore I don't mind helping at all.

This..^..Give PvE there own servers....just makes good business sense.  It hurts no one and keeps $$ in your pocket....

don't knock it till you try it brah :P

haha I know too well :)
 
I'm still playing SWG taking lots of pics and vids. Been playing since June 03. Am I a bitter sandboxer? Yeah at times heh.

I firmly believe/hope we have not seen the last of SWG. Hopefully, it will come back some day under some incarnation...

---

I just want to see a new mmorpg come out that does what SWG was originally trying to do. I mean ffs even now, in its current frankenstein state, SWG has more unique features and variety of content than TOR and GW2 combined. Can we please, please get another mmo that has dedicated non-combat classes?
sorry. /endrant

 

lol...It's ok mate...we understand the frustration.

Fixed that for you. 

So you're telling me very very few MMO's have mounts, crafting, and housing? Don't make me laugh.

 

Back to the OP.... what exactly are you looking for in a game other than those three components?

Again, name a few for the OP....just to be helpful.

if we would wait for that troll, OP would proly never get any answer

True....Thanks for helping the OP

I love crafting.  I loved Vanguards crafting system.  I wish a more modern MMO would implement this

I read alot about Vanguard's system, but I've never played it. I know you can craft almost anything, including ships, but aside from the diversity of craftable items, what stood out about the actual mechanics of Vanguards system?

It was basically a mini game.  You had several steps in the process of making an item.  The more effort you put into each step led to a higher quality item.  for instance you used planks, you had to polish it, shape it, and something else.  Its been a long time since I played.   You gain skill for these separate process.  Add into that the quality of your tools affected the construction.

 

I know i'm not doing it justice, but it was very fun for us crafter types.

 

Don't try to talk on behalf of all "crafter types", which I most certainly consider myself to be one of. In all MMOs I play extendedly, I do a lot of crafting. And I disagree with you: for me, Vanguard's system was the worst piece of shit ever.

I apologize for my presumption.  I definitely made a mistake in phrasing it like that.  Its a good catch not to let me get away with something like that.  You've done a good service to others in clarifying that.  +1 to the correction.  I will now fall on my sword to make up for my dishoner.  Arrrrggghhh, its going dark.  Dont go to the light, don't go to the light....

LOL...Well said....

I kind of want a very in depth crafting system like you are actually the one hammering the sword, and if you fail at it you break/ ruin the sword and its worth nothing, but if you do it correctly you could make a great sword that'll work well in battle, though this would only work if you have runescape-esk weapon system like where there are only 8 ( or however many types you want) so you take your iron bars and melt them and continue on the process, if you fail its your fault. Same thing for a rune sword, you use rune bars and do it again, that way the only difference between crafters is their skill, not necessarily the materials/enchants/stats. A skilled craftsman could make great swords that everyone would buy from them, where as a random smith would fail his swords.

 

I am kind of vague in what im describing but I think you sort of get the idea. Thats my dream for a crafting system.

I think I know what you mean..In SWG the difference was in the resources....not sure how you would put the emphasis on skill over materials etc. but it would be interesting to see....

SWTOR is what it is. Some people will love and others won't. I suppose what is happening is that everyone is trying to shout over the gobs, literal gobs, of opinions being expressed on this site so they feel they have to get louder and angrier.

Well said, and true.

A reply to 4): 

 

Being a "clone", just means that you have the same DNA as another person who had that DNA before you did. Despite having same DNA, you can still develop into very different persons depending on the environment you grow up in. Being a clone of someone does not mean that you are exactly the same as another person, just the same DNA.

 

Therefore, it makes sense to speak of another game as a clone, if there is a lot of fundamental similarities. 

This...Spot on

This game "looks" like it was made about 6 years ago.

 

I will post this non stop because people are preposteriously troll.
