So ESO live 4/24 they were doing console stuff and said they have no text chat for console but they have voice chat. Now please make a diffrent post about wanting text for console my question is there any way to have that voice chat brought to PC version cause I got some friends who want to voice chat but don't wanna down load TS3 to voice chat.

BeardLumber✭✭✭✭Group voice chat would be pretty cool, even proximity voice chat. Although that might need to be restricted because it could get crazy in major cities.
But I will say, TS3 or vent will always be superior to any in game voice chat system.Heals Please

MercyKilling✭✭✭✭✭I can get behind this...as long as there's an option to disable it. Really don't want to hear these other people playing the game. Much prefer text chat.I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
3) Difficulty slider.
4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.4 -
jluceyub17_ESO✭✭✭Suck it up and download TS3, it'll take 1/1000th of the time an average ESO patch does. No need to add new stresses to the game servers when they're having enough trouble running the game.

✭✭✭✭✭TS3/Vent/Etc will always be more valuable than any in-game voice offering, but what the third party voice coms lack is the proximity chat feature and they'll never be able to do that. If ZOS offered the same functionality in the PC version I think that would add some nice aspects to the game for those who want to use it.

In game chat would be way better than TS3 etc. Much easier when you can group up with people and run the quests without having to sit around figuring out which chat server to use and having people log in to it.1

✭Sorry if am missing something but aren't we talking console here and if they can't download addons for consoles how would they do TS3?“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

Daenerys✭✭✭✭I highly doubt they will ever develop voice chat for PC. Why? Well because there are already so many 3rd party options. Same thing for better UI- tons of addons. I'm not saying I agree w/this at all, but it is what it is

Remag_Div✭✭✭✭✭Not having text chat as an option on the consoles is a mind boggling mistake and one that will definitely hurt the console crowd.5 -

The point.
I use TS3 yes it's nice but some times it's some times a hassle just to talk to my group. Using a free-limited one is a hassle cause time to time it drop random members in the middle of a battle or having to pay for a server. I don't wanna pay just to talk my cell phone bill does that enough. ESO having it's own built in voice chat would allow alot better communication between groups and players and again I have some friends who don't have TS3 cause they don't like 3rd party stuff or using a friends guild TS channel when you're not in there guild. Kinda akward stuff happens.
So yes does support 3rd parties but some times it just a hassle to do it and ESO having it's own would be alot easier to do and set up for voice communication instead of going through all the channel surfing in the TS3 menus just to find the one your looking for.0 -
pecheckler✭✭✭✭✭Proximity voice chat would be a very bad idea. Group voice chat would be a great idea. Guild voice chat would still be best served by using a 3rd party program.End the tedious inventory management game.1

✭✭ZOS has already stated they are working on both Voice Chat and Controller support for the PC. They said not to expect it before Console release. So having both added for PC in the future is a possibility.
Now having said that, I will add that ZO$ has been long on promises, but short on delivery. I'd love to see both added to the game, but until then, 3rd party apps do the job just fine. What's the problem with installing TS3? What have your friends got against it? I see you addressed this, sorta. Still seems a little short-sighted.Edited by Ourorboros on April 24, 2015 11:33PMPC/NA/DCBreton Sorcerer Maester.White - BB meets GoT >Master Crafter< { 9 Traits completed 4/23/15 }

nick-champagneb14_ESOSoul ShrivenI am not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else on the forums. But I was recently browsing through the different options in the UserSettings.ini and I ran across these two options:
SET VoiceChatAutoJoinChannels.2 "0"
SET VoiceChatEnabled.3 "1"
I find it interesting that the second option is set to 1; however, it doesn't seem to actually have any effect in-game. I am not sure how long the settings have existed in the configuration file though. For all I know they may serve no purpose. Thoughts?0 -
Anentet✭✭✭I really hope they do the proximity and group/guild voice for PC.. That would be something so interesting to have.. again yes as long as you can toggle it (although I dont know why you wouldnt be able to, considering you can with everything else)0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I kinda dislike the added trouble that comes with 3rd party voice chat programs - I tried it once, wasn't happy with it.
Though I wish the game would provide group voice chat. Proximity and guild I'd rather not deal with, but group would really be neat for some times in the game...1 -
Misa✭✭✭very bad idea, imagine people getting forced out of groups because they don't want to voice or can't voice.0 -

✭I have used third party programs for years. It works.
But I'm glad ESO went to consoles. They DO have proximity voice, as well as group voice chat. Not having to worry about loading some other guilds vent/ts/mumble info, finding out your vent needs updated to the latest version, issues with setup and VOIP management, etc?
On the console, it just works. People tout how great the PC master race is, and maybe it is, but I'm personally sick and tired of changing .ini settings, troubleshooting equipment and worrying of my hardware will be supported by the developer.
If we can ever, somehow, get EvE online to console, and maybe an old-school Age of Empires ... I'm sorry PC, but you'd never see me again. You just aren't worth it anymore.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.4 -
Heromofo✭✭✭✭✭I love the amount of pc players saying its fail. Please leave it up to us on consoles to decide this.
Personally me and my mates love this as it sits well with the Destiny chat. Most of us are use to voice chat as its in like most of our games.
But this bit is for zos we can type very fast via controller. So a chat window is not far fetched and we have one in warframe. Anyway if you go this path id recommend rethinking your no on auction house.Edited by Heromofo on April 25, 2015 11:20AM1 -

...whereas now they get the same for not having TS? I have seen those zone calls...very bad idea, imagine people getting forced out of groups because they don't want to voice or can't voice.
In the end, adding more options is generally considered a good thing, so I for one would like to see the group voice option to be added as integral part of the game... worse games then ESO have this.

thats flat out wrong. DCUO for ps4 has in game voice chat and text chat and both are used regularly. Neverwinter for Xbox One links you into party chats and yet people use smart glass chats just as much if not more so. Heck they have even build a keyboard for chatting that attaches to your controller. Stop acting as if you know how console players work and making generalizations about us.
We are every bit the gamer anyone else is and will use all the resources given to us. Just because we use a different medium to play our games, does not make us any less capable or willing.2 -

Just because there is text does not mean it always for the best. I am a console gamer and most of the time people just gloss of text chat especially in Neverwinter. Only truly dedicated people people will use text chat. Overtime I think they should put in text chat but I think guild stores and LFG will work better without text chat.sk8ingeckoub17_ESO wrote: »Darkonflare15 wrote: »

RSram✭✭✭✭✭I was wondering how ZOS is going to handle players cursing on voice chat. Are they just going to ban or disable players from voice chat? How do other MMOs contend with this?0
