FEEDBACK- Tell us What you think

[Gangrel]

Just wanted to stick my head through the door (so to speak!) and say thanks for the recent mass-update... I have run through and re-set everything up, and will be testing on livestream either soon (if migraine goes away!) or tomorrow on twitch.tv/arn1e2040 (I've been streaming more recently, headed to Sag A*!)

Hope the migraine goes away, I know how bad and annoying they can be.

And yeah, it took me about 3 hours to *completely* re do everything from scratch, but then again I did also change a few things up on my end (breaking out the Personal Pack and Trade route from the voice pack into their own dedicated profiles)

Extra special thanks for the updated beta profile switcher to include the most recent packs (I had set up some myself previously while I was waiting this update) and it took me mere minutes to get it all sorted (and I have the correct sounds for Minus and Vasco being called to the bridge )

Not a problem, although to be fair I was also having fun coming up with funny responses to summoning one AI or another to the bridge. Using a combination of "Are you sure" (ASTRA) and "Intruder detected" (Leo) helped spice up the variety myself.

I am glad that my profile switcher idea works out (although Fade did quite possibly the essential part of the beta profile part)

[/quote]Keep up with the great work guys, I will certainly be buying even more packs in the future [/QUOTE]
Always a pleasure

Just wanted to add that I have been a long time user of the HCS Voice Packs for Elite Dangerous and very happy with them too. Today I had a small problem when trying to update to 1.6.6 that I couldn't resolve myself, so I sent a message to the HCS support. Within minutes I had the solution sent back, I needed to update my own Voice Attack software and then everything worked great. I was very impressed with the excellent and speedy service support, thank you.

Just picked up my first two voice packs, Midnight and Vasco. Sometime in the near future I will be adding ASTRA, Kate and one other (which I am not yet sure, but leaning towards DARK). Toying with the packs now (thanks again for the tutorials on your youtube channel Paul) and very much looking forward to playtesting them in game. And perhaps entertaining my five year old daughter as I have conversations with the computer.

I've just picked up ASTRA and (omgPaulDarrow!!) Minus and am having so much fun with them. I'm pretty new to Dangerous Elite as a game - I was enticed into it by my adult son who thought it would tick all the boxes for what I look for in a game (exploring, trading, 'pillaging'). It was far more complex than other games I'd played, and I really struggled to remember all the commands especially when in the middle of battle. VoiceAttack + voice packs were the perfect solution and I absolutely had to have Minus. I can't describe the thrill of having 'Avon' at helm the first time I summoned Minus to the bridge - took me back to those long ago early teenage days of watching Blake's 7 and I most certainly uttered a couple of fan-girl shrieks of delight! My only problem now is deciding which next voice pack to get - they all look so wonderful. Tom Baker? Brian Blessed? KsAi? Gah - it is too hard to pick! Thank you very much for the work y'all put into these packs. I very much appreciate it!

Bought Astra today, and I don't think now, after setting her up, I could ever do without her. Going to make a few custom interactions for her, the most blindingly missing chit chat is a simple...

[Player] Astra?
[Astra] yes commander,

Then once you (seem) to have her attention...

[Player] How are you today?
[Astra] Fine commander

Then you can immerse this player greeting for whatever you wish ie...

[Player] Astra?
[Astra] yes commander,

[Player] Take her up;let's go; (launching from platform)
[Player] Deploy hardpoints
[Player] Open the map
[Player] Tell me about the Viper
etc etc

Thanks you for making this wonderful voice pack, tbh, at £9.99, that's really is a steal.
Although I checked to see if she had any different names, ship names like in the tut video you have on youtube, but I guess you discontinued that :/

Hello all,

Firstly, Thank you all for the packs. In my humble opinon? They make Elite great . Increasing immersion 100%. Well done to all involved

At the moment I have Verity and KSAI, .
Verity, sometimes doesn't open the navigation window upon request. I get the response "navigation" but nothing happens.I have to press 1 manually
I am still trying to find out why. It can happen when playing on a single verity2 profile or profile swapping with KSAI.

KSAI,is 18+ and really for the laughs. The "targeting next f**k wit" makes me smile everytime.
Although more limited in spoken commands 544, He is perfectly suited for the combat role.
He's even better if you both support the same football club.

I will be adding to my packs soon. Probabily Minus, Leo, and Astra

I dont really want to purchase Astra ( as im not very keen on her voice) however she seems to have some packs which
make her an overall better choice for the ships main ai,


Has anyone else noticed they are playing more with the voice packs than actually playing the game.Or is it just me?

It isn't just you... I seem to spend more time fiddling with profiles seeing what I can do with them, rather than actually playing the game. I do need to get a joystick board set up so I can play the game "properly"...

I'm currently using an ancient logitech attack 3 joystick that my son brought about a decade ago. It does its job lol

I've been trying to work out why Verity sometimes stops opening my left hand panels.
She complies 8 times out of ten but always seems to let me down when I actually want. I think its something to do how the exit command may work.

I am also trying to put together a command or two with reactions to my bad docking /crashing /and general bad piloting

As you may know, I have been with these packs almost from day one. I have purchased every voicepack you have produced so far (except the ships cat) and I still look forward as to who you will use next!! I am still amazed at both the quality of the packs and the attention to detail, and in particular the 'celebrities' you have chosen so far. I must confess to mainly using Astra only because of time constraints but the other voices make a pleasant change. I have yet to use a multi-voice set but I will do soon. Just like to say a big Thank You to Paul, Nolly, Gangrel, Rega and all that have helped in the development, testing and user support of the packs. You are all STARS!

Thank you... more engaging and fresh content will always be provided. Especially if you folks continue to show the massive amount of support. More coming very soon

I recently purchased the Astra pack. It has changed the immersive game play to a whole new level. Well done guys. I have also ordered the addon pack. How long does that normally take please? Cheers.

[Cmdr. PetersonN7]

So obviously no one has been in this thread for awhile but seems most of you are familiar with the Astra pack so that's a start. I purchased the Astra pack and the personalized pack as well. Downloaded and installed the Astra Main pack first then sent off the info for the personalized pack with the info of what I want to be called etc.. Well got the pack today downloaded it unzipped it to the specified location but when I say a command in voice attack it recognized the command but there's no response. Instead I get a message saying; Unable to play sound : [Legacy audio requires a valid wave file. (C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\Sounds\hcspack\role\personal pack\Personal Responses commander\Personal Responses commander_0078.mp3)] . If I just do a normal unzip to where ever it desires to be placed then I get a message saying that the sound isn't mapped right or something. HELP PLEASE! I WANT TO ENJOY IMMERSIVE AI TOO!!!

After buying Voice Attack just a couple of days ago, I also bought the Astra pack to enhance my Elite Dangerous experience. Being a noob, I struggled a little bit when I attempted to install Astra, since I found the help file a tad confusing. So, I posted what had occurred in order to share the perspective of a noob and how it can be a little confusing when one is installing this exceptional plugin for the first time. Barely half an hour later, Gangrel and TheThingIs had responded to thank me for my feedback and that it had been duly noted.

A short while ago, I was checking my emails and noticed there was an update for Astra available to download. So, I uninstalled and installed the new version. To my utter amazement, once I installed it, I noticed a new file called "Profile readme" in the Elite Dangerous folder. The readme file basically echoed the concerns I raised, with some helpful clarifications. This is the result of two possibilities. Either my advise alone was taken or I wasn't alone and other people had given similar feedback. The point is, they listened, they ACTUALLY listened.

How impressive is that? Well done guys. By far, you are the best devs I have ever known! You have a brilliant product and this is reflected in your standards of excellence. Thank you!

[TheThingIs]

As a writer, it's always good to hear the sentiment behind my words has been accurately conveyed. Thank you.

You're 100% correct. We are not perfect. Nobody is. You echo my sentiments. What matters is, striving to do your best and having the humility to learn by your mistakes. Personally speaking, I still aim for perfection, despite its impossibility to achieve. If you ask me, it's far better to aim your sights on infinity, instead of aiming them on the ceiling. It's the impossible dreams that influence us the most.
