Bleakraven✭✭✭✭It's really frustrating to not be able to communicate well with people. Even the quick chat can be useless if the other player's camera is not facing your direction.
Just give us the option, please! We are completely missing out on the great potential of roleplay and community that ESO provides.3 -
Lleksu✭✭✭Cancelled my subscription today.
I still enjoy playing the game, but it really is a single player experience for me now as:- All of my friends have left due to no text chat.
- There is no roleplay due to no text chat.
- I can't find a group to run multiplayer content due to no text chat.
Since it's a single player game, I see no reason to pay a monthly sub; I don't pay one for Witcher 3. I really wanted to support this game, but it's just not worth it for me.9 -

agreed it's so amazing, how incompetent developers are these days.
Look at the ridiculous excuses the developers gave on Reddit.

How this troll is still on the forums is beyond me. He just stirs the pot and causes arguments.
no you are wrong completely do you even play online consoles games they all use voice chat as their primary and only form of communication reallyif you don't know what your talking about please stay out of the conversation.The last two generations have been only voice chat saved a less then a handful of games.AaronLannister wrote: »

Absolutely not, you really should read your own comments.
Yes I play online Have been gaming since PSone era, Again Console GAMES have never just been about Voice Chat.
yes VOIP is the dominant form but not in MMORPG's for many reasons. VoIP is dominated in FPS and many other ACTION and or FPS based games, You don't need Text Chat in a competitive FPS. Although I would argue WOULD be Really nice to have, in fact most console games SHOULD.
Those less then a handful of games were all MMORPG's and they were still in there for a reason. BECAUSE It's needed.
You clearly have little clue to what you're talking about and you're telling others to stay out of the conversation LOL.
Text Chat is also NOT AN outdated form of communication like you suggest, people TEXT chat all the time and still do, it will NEVER be an out of date form of Communication.Edited by AaronLannister on July 27, 2015 11:06AM5 -

That's not true, WoW and FFXIV are still doing very well. You know why? because they can please the Hardcores and Casuals at the same time, something this game fails to do.
That's completely true this goes to show you haven't played a MMO before and I never said any company wasn't doing well this makes me think your nolt even reading my post dude.Just because your not please doesn't mean other hardcore MMO players are not pleased.Name a MMO in the last ten years I played I even played that weird Pirate Disney MMO with my younger brother.You Please the casuals first then the hardcore gamers.Sometimes no matter what you do the hardcore fans are still angry so most developers try to keep the casuals enagage and having fun.Like at Swtor people said it would die in a year they buckled down and help out the casuals to make sure they keep the money rolling in and then with that the focused on the hardcore gamers.Also you know why FFXIV is doing well us because they released the games on PS4/PS3.That's what's keeping that game afloat.0 -

LOL you haven't had ONE good argument since you came here, the whole community is splitting is pure BS, again it's just Discrimination that you don't want Text Chat.
Your just a troll really you haven't had a argument at all since you came here just repeating what someone else said try thinking for yourself I heards it's good for you.If you knew what you were talking about splitting a community kills games but since you don't it's like talking to a brick wall who will just keep repeating what another person said.0 -

Wrong just plain wrong, again that's why we have OPTIONS. Again discriminating, lol the fact that you think FFXIV is ONLY doing well because it's released on older platforms is hilarious.
Name an MMO in the last ten years? rofl. If that's the basis of your argument as to how knowledgeable you are with mmo's. LOL.Edited by AaronLannister on July 27, 2015 11:23AM1 -

Wrong I keep repeating MY arguments because you don't listen. Repeating other peoples arguments? LOL guess what it's because my reasons align with other peoples and I agree with what they're saying.
Again it doesn't SPLIT communities, you have absolutely NO proof of that let alone the fact that you claim Text Chat split communities is HILARIOUS and tells me you have little knowledge of MMO's.Edited by AaronLannister on July 27, 2015 11:43AM1 -

Again if you knew at all what you was talking you would know that since text chat wasn't in the original game it's more then less likely the casuals player would use it.Your a joke man really or just a lack of common sense it would seem.Would you like me to say it again for you Mr.Troll text chat wasn't in the Game at the beginning the casual gamer is much less likely to use It since they wouldn't know about it or are fine as is.Come on dude I knew thinking might make your brain hurt but you should try it .
Also am not talking about text chat splits MMO community again read my post I said adding it would split ESo community since Players didn't have the option when the game was first out so most won't use it since they won't know about it .That's how it will split the community it's not hard man please just try reading man it's good for you.Edited by Jaronking on July 27, 2015 11:55AM0 -

Text Chat is in the original game.
Wow, just wow. LOL.
ahahahahah okay.
it really wasn't the original game is the one released on June 9.It had no Text chat it was removed and I doubt they have the build anymore so they would have to redo the design the UI to add it.Which will more then likely cause more issues then fix if you look at Zos track record.
Again just a joke man when you know what you are taking about please comeback to the forums but as it is now your a joke.Edited by Jaronking on July 27, 2015 12:02PM0 -

You think they have just deleted the chat box UI? I highly doubt that.
They had the basics of it before for testing early on, So it wouldn't be too hard to adapt and re add in game.
People are way too against this for no reason. VOIP has its own issues too. As people who have already stated some already dont use it for the most part due to its awkwardness and random shouting etc. So why not give other people a different outlet.
Would be awesome to just \LFG (wherever) 1m tank. would fix so many things!
or WTS ..... or WTB ....
You can honestly say that wouldn't be good!?Edited by Laranoye on July 27, 2015 12:39PM5 -
