Introduction

Voice communication tools are incredibly important for coordination in PVP - typing is simply not fast enough to be effective. Along with the in-game Eve Voice tool, many corporations also use out of game software such as Teamspeak, Mumble and Ventrilo.

All Agony classes take place on our Teamspeak 3 server.

Agony Teamspeak Info

Use the following information to connect to Agony's TS3 server:

• Server: ts3.agony-unleashed.com (alternatively you can use 174.34.155.50)
• Port: 10012
• Password: 851y7e30tk07

Your nickname should be the character name you used to sign up for the class, followed by your corp ticker. For example if you signed up as follows:

 Azual - Azual Skoll [AGONY]

...Your nickname would be: 'Azual Skoll [AGONY]'

If you're an alumnus, please add '(alumni)' to your nickname, for example: 'Azual Skoll [AGONY] (alumni)'

TS3 Installation

You can download the Teamspeak 3 client here. Installation is fairly simple. Please be aware that Teamspeak 2 is not compatible with Teamspeak 3 servers - you must connect using Teamspeak 3.

Settings

When using Teamspeak 3, you must set your client to 'Push-To-Talk'. By default your client will transmit whenever it detects you speaking, which is not good when we have a class of 60 students.

To change this, click 'Settings' at the top of the TS3 window and go to the 'Capture' tab. Select 'Push-To-Talk' and assign a button of your choice.

If you do not set your client to Push-To-Talk, you will be muted.

Help! Instructor/FC Is Too Quiet!

In TS3, you can easily modify the volume of an individual by right clicking their name and selecting 'Change Volume' - use this on the instructor(s) and FC if they are coming through too quiet.
