On Consoles: D-Pad Down should be Push to Chat not View Change

On Consoles: D-Pad Down should be push to chat and not change between views.

Adjusting your zoom or toggling between 1st person and 3rd is non-essential when compared to the need for push to chat functionality.

Also, Weapon Swap should be Right Analog Click and crouch moved to left Dpad.

Why not just use the mute button on your controller (Xbox) and if not on Xbox use a mic that has mute on your ps4.

As far as what others are doing....you can't tcontrol others.

I'd like to see the prox chat radius lowered but other than that, ppl wil be ppl

Jando

I do. .

Just being able to set up our controls how we want should be added, it's rediculous that we can't change any of them. I do agree we need a push to talk, I'm tired of hearing people caugh and slurp, I have my chat off at all times because of it which leaves me with no way to communicate with other players.

At least on the PS4, you can change the button-mapping in the system menu of the console.

Speaking from a PS4 perspective, because:

a) The mute button on my headset requires me to take an entire hand off the controller and takes a second or two to switch on. That's fine for if you want to stay muted for a long time, not so great if you want to use it to talk during raiding or combat without leaving your mic on the entire time.

b) Most people won't bother. Do kinects even have a mute button? Do people know about it? Probably most people will just leave the open mic on (and many kinect users probably don't even KNOW their mic is on). The default HAS to be muted, with a dedicated button on the controller that you push to talk. Right now, ESO is like a CB channel where everyone has their mic keyed *all the time*.

Yeah, but doesn't that then effect all other games too? So you can do it, but then it will screw up all your other games. And even with that, there is still no way to add in a push-to-talk button until ZOS actually implements it.

It's stuff like this that I expected ZoS to get right given that they worked on the console version almost exclusively for the last 6 months. Bad Job IMHO.

Sounds like its a failure of users to get useful headsets. I do not have 1 game that has push to talk in game and I have never had an issue because I have a mute button connected to the controller with my headset in.

There is more useful things to put on a button like ability toggle between your list of abilities. On PC you have 2 ability lists but on console you only have the 1 ability list so no way to have 2 different setups. This toggle could be on the down arrow instead.

To be clear I am talking about your attacks and healing abilities that you use with your character in combat.

You know weapon swap is already mapped to left d-pad....right?

A) ok this seems like a purchase decision that is restricting you (and the console lacks the function on your controller)
Yes Kinects do have these options. Mine is set off for chat but on for all other functions.
-There is no way someone doesn't realize their Kinect is on as there is an Icon on the screen. FYI the Kinect chat is smart enough to turn off when any headset is plugged in by default.

It's interesting that you have the perspective you do as all other console games do not have push to talk.
To suggest one game should when no others do is a bit odd

I've noticed Ps4 players are having a difficult time with being around other voice chat players and tho it's the same feature on Xbox the mute button seems to be a difference maker on Xbox.

Good luck with your suggestions. ZOS does read the forums
