Console - How will we group? Dungeons, Raids, Co-Op quests

They will have to have it fixed for the console release. They have time, but being that the PC LFG is still borked does not convey any confidence. I know of a lot of people that are waiting for the Console version and the LFG tool would be beneficial. I am not sure how many console games will also have a keyboard since it will be controller based.

It would be nice if MS or Sony would release a wireless keyboard that works on the consoles so things are a bit easier, but in the end a tool like LFG needs to be working.

Thanks! I had no idea that this was released. Do you have any issues using the keyboard and the controller? In reading things, it has the buttons mapped like the controller, but for me, I would only use the keyboard for chat txt and regular controller to play the game.

Again, thanks for this, I am heading to Amazon to order one once I read some reviews and get your feedback. Much appreciated!

It's not so much that any players are better or worse. There are a lot of good players on console but I'm talking mainly about the console gamers who are new to mmo's like ESO. I'm sure the PC players with a background in mmo's who are going to copy over to console will adapt to the changes fine.

No...people who own consoles also own PC's.
I and tons of ppl who I play with on this game and on Xbox One play MMORPG and play console games...smh

Mate I also play Xbox and know heaps of players who only play console. Most of them guys have no idea about this game. Have a read on the Xbox One general discussion forums and see how many of them aren't even sure if they are going to play it.

Pretty bad reception overall if you ask me. Most of these guys pretty much only play console.

They are not gonna use a keyboard. I am sure. Pretty naive to think they will.

I'm problably older than you so when I make this reference, it's for gamers who are 30-36++ years old. When in my younger 20's I felt the same but now that I'm older, money is not a concern as much and consider gaming my hobby. For this type of game, there are hundreds of thousands...millions even who own both.

While I'm aware of the PC elite mindset the ps4 and Xbox one group of gamers may surprise you that many who play a lot of rpg's and MMORPG do own both a nice PC and the latest consoles. Perhaps it's just my age and circles of friends and associates but its a lot of us. We grew up gaming in the arcades while buying a console form home.

It's natural to own a PC and console today.

Pretty much all usb keyboards work on either already. Why would they "need" to release a console specific keyboard?
I just just one of my two usb wireless keyboards and even on PC I use my Xbox one controller and a wireless keyboard for this game.

I'm pretty sure that just like dcuo and ffxiv, there will be a txt option. Just because its console doesn't mean people cant have a text box.

It just takes longer and is frustrating, but it works just as good.

Sorry man, I did not know that any USB keyboard will work.

The LFG tool will work on console and vocal chat is built in...

Not sure vocal chat is an advantage here, remember biting my tongue when playing Mass Effect 3, and a group was yapping away, oblivious to the excrutiating amount of personal detail they were revealing to an unwilling party (me).

It was all I can do not to tell them to shut the [censored] up.
