It makes it hard to be social, I don't want to be chatting on random group "when it works!" constantly just to commune my wife is going mental.. How are we supposed to join guilds? how are we supposed to be properly social?!
Removing this from the console version is absolutely ridiculous. Clearly knows not how an mmo runs.. It doesn't feel like an mmo to me anymore.. and i regret buying it on console.
Other games make this feature work fine... If people don't for some weird reason like this or don't have a USB keyboard.. you clearly don't like MMO's and what come with it..
I will probably stop playing now due to this.. its just ..boring.. And I imagine a lot of other people will too.
I like the game and if they enable this I sure as hell will return.
It is for me however a deal-breaker.

You seem anti-social. It has been easy for me to play with random people that I have never met or talked with before and join guilds and sell items. Deciding against something before you even try it deprives you of the joy that you could have playing the game.
Same reason I stopped playing after a week after release....

Huh? I'm far from anti-social, what because i don't want to sit on my headset chatting to random people? It doesn't even work, nor does it allow for many things an mmo does.. You cant find groups adequately, cant find and join guilds. there's so much it cuts you off from..
If i wanted to play a single game like this id play Skyrim... I'm not saying remove voice, just have text too? Since playing on console i've barely seen anyone chatting let alone been able to find a guild etc..
Also im pretty sure many people like me do not want a headset on all the time, to try and do these things...

Source for your 95% and "majority are fine" comments please.So since your just anti social and don't want to talk to people I don't like MMO since I don't think text chat is needed for the console version of ESO since 95% of console players have Mics and the majority are fine with the communication as is. Also I been playing MMO for years but by your logic which most be infallible and I hate MMO.
Spamming the same message isn't really constructive, and takes away from the well reasoned posts (from both sides).allyoudpsesarebad wrote: »WE NEED A LFG GINA IM NOT PLAYING WITH U
Where your source that everyone want text chat?Also my source is that every Xbox/PS4 comes with a Mic or kinect where you can talk to people with voice chat.Source for your 95% and "majority are fine" comments please.So since your just anti social and don't want to talk to people I don't like MMO since I don't think text chat is needed for the console version of ESO since 95% of console players have Mics and the majority are fine with the communication as is.

Sometimes it's simply not viable to rely on voice communication. At the extreme edge, obvious reasons include profound deafness and vocal issues.
More often than not though, it's simply easier to use text. What if I want to chat with my guild, hold a private conversation and look for a group....across the entire world map?
Easy enough to do with voice - I just need to...oh. Wait. It's not really possible.
I got a random mail from somebody selling Hemming (I was near the clothing table)...it would've been much easier for him / her to simply use a Trade text chat channel. That way, the player could go and do something more productive and hawk his wares, rather than being stuck in one area trying to earn some gold.
That's a pity because the first thing I do after entering a new zone is MUTE everyone. And I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who has acquired this habit....

In other words, you don't want to see what I write, and I don't want to hear what you have to say. That's totally fine - there are many other players.NewBlacksmurf wrote: »...

I never said everybody wants text chat - but there seems to be a pretty reasonable call for it.Where your source that everyone want text chat?Also my source is that every Xbox/PS4 comes with a Mic or kinect where you can talk to people with voice chat.
To the deaf and people with Vocal issues majority of games on Consoles use Voice chat only for group content.While its not fair I agree the issue is the same developers choice to ignore the small minority ZOS decided to do the same here and the continue to do the same thing with the text chat community a small minority seems to wkeyboard chat.That's why ZOS hasn't said anything while I agree its wrong the numbers shows that its a minority.
While I agree with you it's easier to to use text on a PC which has a keyboard but a Console does not have a keyboard they have mic for Voice chats that's why ZOS used Voice chat since the majority has Voice chat.Also you can talk to your guild mates using voice chat that what I do and many others.You can have a party chat or invite that player into a group and talk to them their also xbox smart glass where you can send a massage to other players.Also their usually always players around you that you can ask .Its easy you just choice not to use it.
I disagree it would have been way more easier to just talk to you about it.Its not hard you all just choice not to talk to people

We're getting off topic here, but there's no way I'll join a guild that spams invites and has a message of the day (or whatever it's called) that says "invite everyone!". I'll join a guild where I've either solicited an invite myself, or where I know some of the members.mrskinskull wrote: »How do you make it to endgame without being spam invited to at least one guild?

Back on topic - nobody who wants text chat is saying get rid of voice.
Custom channels and such would address any spam issues, as would whatever ignore function is implemented in ESO. Most people want the function to be toggled....so if you don't like it, just disable it.
Nothing wrong with having multiple means of communication.
And if ZOS seriously aren't going to implement text chat - actually saying so would be more constructive that essentially putting their hands over their ears and screaming "lalalalalalala....I can't hear you".
Maybe if they commented either way, we'd know where we stand - and could move onto other things. Like the lack of a reply function in the in-game mail system.
If you, and the other VC advocates + Text haters, bothered to read and comprehend the reasons behind the need of text chat so many people have stated, we'll suddenly stop running in circles in this thread.mrskinskull wrote: »I agree, its like many posters came in wanting to hate the voice chat and never even bothered to try it.

Many posters say they are max level and can't find anyone to ply with or they can't even find a guild!
How do you make it to endgame without being spam invited to at least one guild?
I'm sure if you spoke aloud the need for a guild to run dungeons with, you would be flooded with responses.
As far as endgame dungeons, many of the console crowd didn't start with maxed out characters, be patient and many of those guilds will be full of people looking to run the same dungeons.

And note that just because we own consoles that come with mics does not mean we want to use them. I mean seriously, I don't want to hear the crappy (imo) music that folk have blaring through their open mics.
Keyboards can be used with consoles - I have a cheap bluetooth one linked to my PS4.
I was going ask if you'd played DCUO - but that's only PS and PC (at the moment). Text AND voice chat available - with no issues. Most communication outside of instances is via text. Within instances, it's a mix - depending on what language(s) the group members speak.
Howe 'bout FF:ARR? Again - text chat. Probably voice, I couldn't get into the game so gave up early.

Your kid isn't going to stop using your product and take his money elsewhere, and your livelihood doesn't rely on your son continuing to throw money at you. Well....at least I hope it doesn't.

Don't you have anything better to do then troll the forms?
But really text chat can help change the game and I like to think in a better direction. People are being criticized for not giving voice a chance but so many people will not give text chat a chance. Don't down it tell you have tried it.
Wait, you weren't trolling?mrskinskull wrote: »I was just trying to joke to show I wasn't trolling, I guess it didnt land. I have stated before that text chat will probably be just fine.
