To clarify, you will have the option of using a keyboard for chatting on the console version of the game, if you prefer the QWERTY life over voice chat.

Can you link where. I read that as keyboard on console was chat only
Amazes me that typing in controller in ESOUI's search box yielded these results;
First is Xpadder which lets you actually config an XBox controller on the PC, if I am reading this right.
Second is ActiveControlelrUI though according to the mod author, Zeni has removed the code to allow it to work. So try it and see if it works.
For the life of me, can't figure out why someone would downgrade their UI into a clunky mess like this, but whatever. To each their own. And no, it's not even efficient for controller use.
Will there be a console beta by chance or am I in the wrong thread to ask that?
Ruze 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.

I got to beta the PC version, and am interested to see how it handles and plays. I do most of the beta testing in my group of friends, so there's a lot of movement on what's good or bad.

We wanted to provide an update on keyboard support for the console version of ESOTU. Unfortunately, the message I posted in this thread yesterday was based on our development plans from earlier in the year, which included keyboard support for chat. However, keyboard support for chat is not something that will be available for the console version of the game. You will be able to use a keyboard for text entry in areas such as guild naming, etc., but not for chatting. Mouse support is not planned for the console version of ESOTU.
As things change in development, we definitely try our best to stay on top of those changes to keep you in the loop, but we know that misinformation can be frustrating. Again, we apologize for the confusion.

..... How on earth will non voice chatters communicate then? This is the worst news I've heard in a long time, and I just migth cancel my preorder if this doesn't change. This is unacceptable.
It's an MMO, the PC version allows it, Neverwinter Xbox One allows it, why on earth would a much bigger name game series NOT allow it?

They've already made their decision. I wonder if there will be a text chat at all? Maybe with some kind of onscreen keyboard then?

"They've already made their decision" - You mean like how they said they'd never change off a subscription only model?
Seriously, I would at least like to hear their reasoning behind this.

I hate voice chat. After breaking three $100+ headphones in a row I gave up on them. I'm a large guy with a large head. I don't live alone, and my significant other has no interest in hearing my group's chatter while running dungeons. Without keyboard input my only option is to not communicate with other players. And you're instantly cutting out most of your RP community. How many people do you think are going to want to RP over voice chat?
I gave in and paid the $20 for an account copy to console yesterday after seeing that keyboards would be allowed for chat. I feel very cheated today. I quite literally can't see the point in investing my time in an MMO if I'm going to be in solitary confinement while playing. I'm certainly not paying for a sub for it, as I do now on PC.
*edit* @ZOS_TristanK, you locked the thread about lack of keyboard support for chat on consoles to redirect to a thread about PS4 UI overall? A thread where the OP shows as "banned" so no new info can be added to the title or first post? Had your update been posted here I never would have seen it. Way to get the info to the players...

Thanks for the update, but without keyboard support for chat, it is really hard to communicate within a very large guild, especially for large scale AvA.
Can you communicate with the development team for us and see if it is possible to support keyboard chat in the future?

Respectfully....guild chat....zone chat...party chat...trade chat....
The PC supports all of this via text
My point of view is this....i can see both sides of the coin BUT, this version of the game is for a different audience.
Ruze 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.

An audience where the average user (as I've observed, anyhow) doesn't exist in 300 man guilds, but 3-8 man friends groups. Or if we're in a larger guild, it's based on some third-party social networking site that we surf on our smartphone or tablet as we play.
Trade will happen almost entirely through NPC merchants or an auction house if it happens. Chat will be slow, through party invites and maybe a few emotes if they are easy to access. Interactions with others are brief, simple, and largely resemble two mimes dancing or jumping to convey emotion.
Again, if something more needs to be said ... we'll probably say it on our smarthphone through reddit.
That's just how it works on consoles.

To illustrate:
Player A transfers account. Player A has a v14 character, a few others, and 160 CPs. Two days in player A has decided "hey new platform so i think i should make a start fresh character- this new alt now has access to 160CPs. This I think could be an issue.
While CP growth with relation to rolling an alt will eventually be a problem on PC Im worried it can show up right away on consoles. Players way out ahead, by no fault of their own, can walk in cyro and be statistically superior to all the new console players (true new not transfers) I imagine this leaving an extremely bitter taste in some players mouths as they try to figure out 'hey nothing I do can combat this dude' then realizes 'o its a pc transfer'
