"Yes, you have the option of using the text chatbox on console as well. Furthermore, you can plug in a standard USB keyboard into your PS4 and use it to type, if you want.
The chat window collapses by default, but can be pinned to the HUD if you want."

Just saying , you were promising it a few months ago , as many were asking about it at the time.

✭They already dropped a statement like two months ago retracting your quoted statement. No text chat on consoles. =PEdited by nastuug on June 9, 2015 5:12PM0 -

I heard it for the first time last week on the video , with lots not thrilled about it in the Twitch stream the dev basically just ran past it as quick as possible.
Just was pointing out to them they've waffled themselves a few times in a few months , how about waffling one more time and putting it back in
Honestly I just want the option to have zone wide text chat and still try out the voice part also.Edited by Dahkoht on June 9, 2015 5:15PM1 -

✭Oh definitely. I'm sure it's possibly still pending reconsideration on @ZOS_MattFiror 's desk.

✭I do not think the Konk is employed at Zenimax any longer, so anything said by him is pretty much vapor ware, I would suppose.0 -

This was exactly how FF11 was on Ps2 back in 2003. Technology is supposed to get better as time goes on not worse. Especially since this is like their 2nd chance at a first impression with ESO one would think they would want it to be as best as possible. I'm not sure who is the brainchild behind all these ideas but I swear...this game is destined for failure.0 -
