I wouldn't say there is anything stagnant over at Blizzard with WoW. Current subscribers at 8 million. They are constantly adding content and groundbreaking innovations to the MMO genre that other games copy. It is the standard in MMOs like EQ was before them.

I would hope ZOS pays attention to their success and what they've added to their game.

Hold on...it's two different games. For a different age group. WoW is teen rating and TESO is mature

That a pretty big difference
Also WoW is now 10+ years old and their success was BEING different than any other MMO at the time. I think they are paying attention to WoW's success

Yet it still ha 8 million SUBSCRIBERS, people that pay monthly. ESO never got close to that...ever. You think those are all teens?

@ruze84b14_ESO +1 and well put. No need for quoting you

And capitalizing on it. How many ppl were asking Blizzard to port wow to console. A lot but for some reasons Blizzard didn't do it. Maybe ZOS and Blizzard know something we don't

I'd agree to a point with Uberkull, personally. They are the standard, just as EQ was before them. And just as WoW copied many of it's features from EQ, so have many games since copied from WoW in hopes to be the new standard.

Of course we've yet to see someone unseat them. 10+ years of steady content expansion helps on that, trust me. The game world and it's quest depth are massive by all standards. They also pulled pretty heavily from the 'easy access' app world on daily quests and micro-quests. They are definitely on the ball and have transcended many of the standards players set for 'MMO'.

I mean, at one time, if you had an 'instance', you weren't considered an MMO world, because it destroyed the persistant nature of the world itself. That was a long time ago, of course, and we all see that instancing and phasing are now perfectly acceptable formats for an MMO, thanks in most part to WoW. It's so standard and acceptable, that having public dungeons like ESO has is considered to abnormal ... which if you've been around long enough is like a slap in the face.

I often wonder if the reason nobodies unseated WoW yet, is because they are trying too hard to copy. If maybe something new isn't what's needed to give the genre a breath of fresh air. I think that new is the Action RPG experience, but only time will tell.

Who knows. It could very well be ESO successfully crossbreeding an MMO expereince with a consoles multiplayer and streamlined action rpg experience.

Who knows.

Yea...If WoW ever went to console, it would be over. It would rule for another decade.

But that's not gonna happen until they get their 42 button skill scheme trimmed down. And that's down from 70 in the prior xpac. I had so many macros...gawd.

This is why I like ESO...you have to decide. Seems like it was built for console...hmmm...let's throw gas on that fire. (incoming PC master race rage).

See....but it didn't and honestly...Blizzard knows why but we don't. Only theories and opinions is all I can offer but this TESO console is going to be a BIG topic of discussions in many places starting in June especially if it's without text chat.

That's good buzz.

Nothing stopping the pc race from joining us i think of the time i spent playing eso on pc as an extended beta.
The console is looking like its where the game is going to have the most impact and its a good thing.
We got to test the beta for a year and now we can transfer our characters over and play the real game.

Predictions?

ESO does great, and while it probably doesn't make game of the year on consoles, it's sales catch a lot of media attention.

After a few years, Blizzard releases a WoW companion for consoles (similar to the card game they recently released) that is action-RPG focused and links to your WoW account in some way, thus tying a new generation of console players to the PC franchise.

Yes, there has to be text chat in a MMO

It's obvious that current users say"yes" to text chat(are we all pc users?). ZoS is most likely going to stick to their guns with no text chat starting out. In the end money will shape the future. If things aren't successful as they hope then they will most likely try to slap text chat in. By then the damage would be too late in my opinion.

This thread has already shown popular opinion so debating it over and over isn't going to change anything.

I just want the game to dominate. ESO dominates= I get more content. I don't see that happening with the current stance on things. But if I get proved wrong, Oh well. At least I will still get huge content. Have you seen the size of content updates from the dominators to the have nots? It is a night and day size difference.

Well im going to play on console ps4
So if this helps your point i will try
1. The game looks unreal and i will be addicted
2. The no chat box thing is really bad because my mate is partly deaf and we play at night where i cannot talk well loud enough.
So this is going to affect us big time if it does not get put back in.

Not to be rude at all but is there a possibility to both play on PC? Knowing controller support in coming very soon.
Again...trying to be respectful but asking a fair question i think considering the friend's situation.

Not sure how that could be rude but no we cannot he is giving eso a try and he uses a ps4 so I'm swapping over to join them.
With any luck they will add the chat option for us by the launch because we use it in warframe and thats a console peer to peer mmo.

Ps. We can type almost as quick as a keyboard user gotta love console txting lol.

Yup but we use USB keyboards they attach to your controller so im not sure why we cannot have it lol.
Im also worried about another problem and that is background noise as i normally mute anyone that shows signs of it.
The ignore list is only a 100 or so cap so it really needs to be larger.

Smurf...what is this text radial dial I heard about in ESO live? Any videos on that? Who decided at ESO that this was a good compromise....oh nevermind that, can you provide the texts they have to choose from?

And not the emotes....the 'text phrases most commonly used based on searching text logs on the PC'.

Just got this little tidbit from the Customer Support email:

Hi ,

I'm really sorry for the delay of answer, we have been quite busy lately.

We are well aware of the feedback regarding the chat on console and even though it will probably not be available at the release, but this is something we are considering thanks to the feedback from the players as you just did.
Regarding your second question, there is no plan to remove the text chat from the PC version so you don't have to worry about it

I hope I answered to your questions and concerns and I wish you a great day.

Warmest regards,
Yoann
The Elder Scrolls Online Tamriel Unlimited Team

Two things to get from this:
1 - Text chat support could very well come to console still, due to the incredibly high amount of feedback wanting it.
2 - The other thread that said since Voice Chat is coming to PC, it might mean text chat will be gone like consoles (I can't find that thread for some reason) was purely not true.

You gotta watch it... http://www.twitch.tv/zenimaxonlinestudios/v/4331277
Start around 46:00 to 1:20:00
The keyboard chat falls somewhere around *52:00 as there are a lot of question but the keyboard chat part is at this part.
AND 1:21:00


The radial part you ask about is at 1:23:00 and they will be on the emote wheel.

I don't know if ppl watched this before going crazy on the forums...but it would've helped as I did Saturday.
EDIT - it still makes me the inconsiderate ass...but I like to be informed before I go onto the forums as much as I can at least.

anytime you miss one...its usually up right away or ppl put it on YouTube too

Why do we have to go to lengths to get them to answer and considering how many people probably asked this why not display it for all to see to help remove alot of unwanted tickets.

Smurf...what is this text radial dial I heard about in ESO live? Any videos on that? Who decided at ESO that this was a good compromise....oh nevermind that, can you provide the texts they have to choose from?

And not the emotes....the 'text phrases most commonly used based on searching text logs on the PC'.

Way it was explained in the lastest ESO Live they where basicly additional emotes with common phrases .... stop, trade, join group, etc...
Thing is they would be that same as usinng local area chat, you have to take the time to go through all the pages of emotes to find it. Doesn't solve the issue of sending a whisper, talking in a large guild, talking across a zone (shouts), etc...

Like I've said before I really like the voice chat & plan to use it like 90% of the time , but there are somethings you just have to have text chat for.

Just got this little tidbit from the Customer Support email:

Hi ,

I'm really sorry for the delay of answer, we have been quite busy lately.

We are well aware of the feedback regarding the chat on console and even though it will probably not be available at the release, but this is something we are considering thanks to the feedback from the players as you just did.
Regarding your second question, there is no plan to remove the text chat from the PC version so you don't have to worry about it

I hope I answered to your questions and concerns and I wish you a great day.

Warmest regards,

Two things to get from this:
1 - Text chat support could very well come to console still, due to the incredibly high amount of feedback wanting it.
2 - The other thread that said since Voice Chat is coming to PC, it might mean text chat will be gone like consoles (I can't find that thread for some reason) was purely not true.

Anyone else abit ticked that they didn't just post the reply he got on this forum in there own words.
Why do we have to go to lengths to get them to answer and considering how many people probably asked this why not display it for all to see to help remove alot of unwanted tickets.

Smurf i had the quote in that what i meant is why there not simply replying here instead of waiting for someone to put a ticket in to ask.

@NewBlacksmurf

I'm pointing out that the reason they don't post things (specifically this topic) on the forums is because of the 4/25 video above. Sorry I was vague in my comment
