Voice system from console on PC?

I know that these voice chat systems are being developed through the consoles interface, but is there any chance we'll see this voice system carried over to PC? Possibly even through curse?

    While they are at it I would like them to port the Game Controller option to the PC.

    They will start with "different" games for PC and console. Add-ons for PC, voice chat for consoles. It will be interesting to see which will get better support.

    You can get x-padder and use an x-box controller on this game.

    I don't understand the lack of in-game voice though... other than not wanting to commit the time/money to it. Despite all the people knocking it at the time my guild in LOTRO used their ingame system and for most of us (yes, during raids too) it worked just fine. No more/less issue than I've experienced using TS3 with ESO. How old is that system? We don't have better/more cost effective technology now?
    If options weren't necessary, and everyone played the same way, no one would use addons. Fix the UI!

    I'm all for getting a voice chat system in-game for PC ESO too. It may not be on their to do list now, but... one can hope that someday they will add it.

    Yes to Voice and Controller for PC. Should have been there at release. I should not have had to install 3 or 4 third party apps to get these features. I paid $10 to get the current version of Xpadder (money regrets only).

    Everheard of TeamSpeak? either way the player will need a headset so they can communicate back to the other players

    Does TeamSpeak or other 3rd party software allow "say zone" or other filtering methods?

    But the consoles have pary chat which can be viewed as Teamspeak. WoW has built in Voice chat, which hardly anyone uses but the option is there.

    Honestly, the lack of in game voice chat has been a real problem for me. And perhaps it indirectly hurt AvA's success.

    My previous game was Planetside 2, which has a fairly good in game voice chat, and I and others used to run public platoons there all the time. It was a great way of organizing factions and it would put newer players in touch with more veteran players and help them get hooked into the game.

    I wish it comes to ESO PC too so that when the new surge of population occurs, we can have the tools necessary to herd cats in Cyrodill.

    Even automatic curse joining like mobas would be nice for dungeons. Although its the problem of people having to download 3rd party software...I agree voice chat should take priority over some of the stuff they have been using resources for. More social interaction! Events! Fesitvals!
