And that's the problem with this game, Text Chat solves those issues that don't plague other MMO's. Text Chat is important for an MMO especially when it's a game you need to play HOURS a day to progress.
Respectfully...
That is your problem with the game. It also may be some others but as I mentioned in the other thread you quoted me for a different topic. The choice is...play it as is, play it on another platform or don't play it at all.
We are all entitled to our own opinions and can freely discuss them but to expect ZOS to make changes due to our opinions is unrealistic overall. They've made changes to feedback they've asked for but on topics where they've not asked for feedback...no responses or changes occurred.
It is what it is

Sorry it isn't unrealistic at all to expect ZoS to make changes especially with Text Chat.
I've already stopped playing, I'll get back to it when they add text chat.
And you act like you're the ambassador of ZoS, it's quite hilarious really. No still going to constantly bring it into ZoS attention that this game needs text chat.0 -

Again as said in the other thread...
I'm happy with this game as is and you're unhappy.
Why would you spend your free time unhappy when they are so many other games or things to be happy with.

It's not about whose happy and whose unhappy, it's about pointing out how flawed ESO is a long with it's bad choices and they're unwillingness to admit that Text Chat is essential to MMO's.0 -

Not here to argue with you, I've heard that before. Yet you always seem to go against your own words. Have fun. I guess facts don't agree with you like usual.Edited by AaronLannister on August 7, 2015 6:42PM2 -

It is what it is
The fact that you say "This is it. Play as it is, and thats it." is quite disturbing. These forums are for feedback for devs to make improvements, fixes to the game and thats exactly what this thread represents. If YOU dont like the idea many are presenting, fine, but dont act like an ambassador for ZOS or consoles.. because thats exactly how you are acting. You speak for no one but yourself, so let the masses speak for themselves. Theres more people for this feature, than they are against it, and you know this which is why you campaign on these threads over nd over nd over. Say what you have to say, and move on. This is how MMOs work, and theres many examples of players taking to the forums in hope of change or fix to something in the game, and the Devs eventually listening to the players, and thats how an MMO grows and improves.
Its silly to argue against OPTIONS, and freedom for all players to play the way THEY want, and theres no, I repeat, NO logical argument you or the other 2 people against this request can make to counter "Optional text chat window that can be minimized"
Let it go. You dont speak for console players. People want this feature and will continue to ask for it, you are doing nothing to contribute to the discussion. No one needs your help, we dont need you playing the middleman between players and ZOS, who do you think you are? you are just another player, thats all, like the rest of us. Its not unrealistic for devs to make changes to an MMO because of the opinions of the playerbase, it happens all the time, do you even play MMOs?
The countless logical reasons to add text chat trump the whole "cuz I dont want it" argument the very few opposed posters are spewing. Again, you dont speak for anyone, and no one needs your help.

Never said that grouping, selling and helping isn't happening. What I am saying is that text chat would make those thing much easier to do.
So you agree that text chat would be REDUNDANT.
Thanks.
I would prefer the money gets spent on more content.
That's what will keep players at the table. Text chat is a minor concern,2 -

it should be exactly like the PC version, there's no clutter. The people who claim that are just lying.
Or it could be that we see things objectively.
The console version has made concessions in terms of graphics, add ons, player count etc.
What make you think that if a text chat was added, it would work exactly as it does on PC?
The truth is the community is vocal and engaged on console and extra HUD clutter for a redundant communication system would be a waste of resources.
Try to step back and look at this request objectively.
PS.
Have a great day.

I too have stopped playing but the reason myself and others keep posting is the reason we have left is entirely due to the no text chat issue. We want to come back and play because it is for the most part an excellent game that is being ruined by the most bizarre decision that any MMO has taken ever. I myself am not asking people to stop playing and it is a personal decision. So the message is simple as far as im concerned. Pop in the text chat and you get £120 from me a year as I always sub to games I play. Dont and you get nowt. So yeah I'll keep posting here till its put in.You give me a chat box ZOS and I'll start giving you my money again.2 -

Yeah its a huge issue, the other day I wentered into a city to sell some items to NPC and work on my crafting. There had to be close to 20 people talking at once , which I can deal with most of the time but then there was one person just screaming "Ni**ers! You all are a bunch of Ni**ers!" And was just repeating that over and over, and I could not figure out who was saying that, so I eventually just muted my TV.
This type of obnoxious crap always happens.
What kind of third world nightmare are you playing in?
I have never come across more than a few obnoxious people who are usually just having a good time anyway.
More often than not, voice chat is full of people groupings and talking builds or just emoting and having a laugh.
You know you can capture video on your PS 4 right?

Ok there is your issue.
The purpose of the forums...is to discuss things.
There are opportunities for feedback and to ask questions. There are opportunities to request features but the "add text chat to consoles" topics for the most part are not giving feedback or making suggestions.
These topics are bullying anyone who disagrees.
These topics intend to force ZOS to do what you say
These topics are mostly full of arguments and attacks
These topics seem to disregard any prior communications ZOS has provided on the subject
These topics refuse to engage in ideas around getting some functionality
These topics intend to bump and flood other threads with the same ideas that are off topic
This is not the point of the forums which is why so many threads are closed, locked, heavily moderated and ultimately not addressed.
When ZOS grabs questions from the ask of anything thread and avoids addressing the topic that's a response. It's one thing if it's a new topic and overlooked but it's another when the topic has been going on since March /April 2015....sometimes no response is an acknowledgement.
Your points or rather opinions in reference to me speaking for console gamers and freedoms / options or choice.
In short...you are more than welcome to your own ideas, opinions, etc but don't assume that because a small part of the population who have either a smart phone, computer or who frequent forums are somehow the greater voice of the console community is far off base.
My last question...and it's a serious question..
Does anyone want to talk about coming up with ideas for some sort of support or do you want to defend, argue and continue to place input on why your idea needs to be implemented?-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

Too much of a hassle. I want to just come home from work and relax and play, not police the game.
The fact that you and the other two posters against text chat don't have the same problems that most people are stating about the obnoxious people, is exactly why you guys don't understand the want/need of having this optional feature. Good for you guys, having a great experience. I constantly run into these people, and I avoid them, but to act like it doesn't happen, and frequently at that, is silly. I'm in voice chat all the time (and enjoy it) and I've never had the "talking builds or just emoting having a laugh" experience you've had. So stop acting as if this the status quo for most people playing.

OK... Taking points in order.
Forums are for many things. To discuss yes but also for player feedback. This is what we are giving.
We are making a suggestion. The suggestion is add a text box. The reasons for this have been given many many times.
Arguing for what you want and disagreeing with people who come up with insubstantial reasons against it is not bullying.
Yes. We do want ZOS to do as we say. Thats kinda the point.
Arguments yes but thats not always a bad thing. The only attacks tend to happen when sanctimonious trolls turn the conversation that way.
ZOS can change their mind.
We have a functional idea. A text box that can minimised as per the players wishes.
Actually this is a massive issue that leaks into other areas very easily.
You have no idea why this is not being addressed. And so many are locked and heavily modded is again mainly due to said sanctimonious trolls baiting people.
No when a topic has been going on since then its ignorance and rudeness to not give a single response. So we keep trying to get said response.
You have literally NO idea how many current players want this. Non participation in forums is just that. It neither confirms nor denies anything. All we can go on is what people who are here say they want. They overwhelmingly want text chat.
No I do not want to engage with a random player on suggestions for 'compromise' that only he seems to think has more chance of being listened to. We will stick to our guns.
Thanks for coming.
You give me a chat box ZOS and I'll start giving you my money again.1 -

In short...that idea literally was shot down by ZOS and details were provided as to why.
I've seen comments saying so what or their response isn't right or something that they wouldnt accept.
-I honestly would you guys to get a response but it's been 3-4 months and the threads are asking the same question they've already responded to....to me ...the lack of a new response is an acknowledgement.
When there's interest sometimes you'll see ZOS comments or a /lurk in a thread.
I'm trying to get u guys that but it seems obvious that won't come from the idea that was already scrapped by ZOS
I hope that makes senseEdited by NewBlacksmurf on August 7, 2015 8:38PM-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

First, I don't have an issue. Dead that right there please.
So what that this thread has been around since March with no answer, why does it bother you that people are still clinging to the hope of it being added? Check any MMO forum, and you'll see countless threads similar to this one of fans rallying for the addition of a feature, and sometimes the Devs eventually add it. Like I said, do you play MMOs? its baffling that you act like this is unprecedented. It's not.
We represent the vocal community, not the whole console community. We aren't trying to speak for anyone but ourselves. Like I said yesterday, me my brother and 4 guild members created a profile just to vote and support these threads. We don't have to be the greater voice of the community, those players probably don't even care whether it's added or not. I'd like to think the average person wouldn't be against options (I feel weird even having to point this out)
Stating the game needs text chat, or asking for it to be added is NOT trying "force" ZOS to add anything, please stop accusing us of doing that unless I missed some "ZOS PUT TEXT CHAT IN RIGHT NOW! DO IT!" posts which in that case you can point those out for me, and no, posters crying saying they will quit is not "trying to force" its whining.
For your serious question, I already came up with ideas in this thread and the other one, and in a discussion with you directly, when you asked me, which you didn't respond to and so I'm not going to bother posting it again. I'm not just in support of text chat, I'm in support of options and freedom to all players, to play the game the way they want to play it. Again, this isnt unprecedented.

Scroll up a few pages. And also look at the other active thread a few pages back.
There are those comments demanding the feature as well as comments saying ZOS needs to admit their wrong
Comments basically in context to mean give us what we want and comments demanding a response.
The option that you suggested didn't gain ground.
Why you wouldn't repost it makes no sense.
The constant back n forth cause ppl to miss stuff.
If you have an idea...post it again and let's see if it gains traction in the discussion.

There has been repeated disruptive behavior in this thread and, as a result, we have removed several comments. We understand that people will disagree from time to time, but we ask that trolling, insulting, and spam are not acceptable behavior on the ESOTU forums.
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes and read our Code of Conduct to prevent this thread from being closed. It outlines the guidelines and expected conduct on our forums. Thank you for your understanding.2 -

I've not been moderated, warned or had any comments removed or deleted/edited.
My opposition to the idea or comments (other than one) aren't baiting anything but ideas that haven't been scrapped.
If it's uncomfortable for you sorry but that's how I engage on things like this.
Pulling ideas out of ppl to get to a resolution.
I'm not why threads are being closed.
I love how you have been nothing but cordial and try to help these guys.
You are probably one of the only people here who is actually trying to get a workable version of text chat onto the console.
All you have to do is read the thread from start to finish and you begin to get a theme.
Certain people want text chat exactly as it exists on a pc . Despite it being largely impractical while holding a controller and in the busy living room.
That's just not going to happen. I'm sorry.
Other people see how desperate the few of you are for this and attempt.to offer alternatives that MIGHT actually happen.
Second screen app. Social page chat etc.
Click ignore if you really have an issue, but I think without an active discussion about alternative text chat solutions this thread sinks to page 5.
Have a great day.

I'm for the customizable chat bubbles as an in game solution but what I would really like to see is a companion app for android. Not just for chat options but with other features such as an auction function, character profile, crown store access etc. Then I can fiddle around while I'm out & about. Other MMOS that have had this really made for an enjoyable experience.

cerrudo33✭✭✭here's an idea then,
Keep the PC chat/text box as is, right stick "in" for Xbox controllers (nothing mapped there anyways), this brings you now into the chat box itself, now click "a" on one of associated tabs (area, trade, guild, custom etc), use attached usb keyboard or standard Xbox on screen keyboard and type said msg, now hit enter/done
And omg! We now have the PC chat option on consoles, in all of its glory using the unbound keys already on my controller! I don't even have to get up for that
For the options that are usually present on PC chat to exclude certain channels, show the box, etc (your chat options if you will) can be added into the social tab like a standard options menu including the option to MINIMIZE/HIDE the chat box... In about 5 mins there's a solution to chat that uses all of the joy in this topic for the pros and cons and in my mind works while taking into consideration all sides of this argument
I play on Xbox NA so I don't know PS controls but I would venture a guess it's similar/doable as well... Don't get me wrong it's not a simple feat but shouldnt step on anyone's toes and in theory, a win win....2 -
Nergie4242✭✭✭here's an idea then,
Keep the PC chat/text box as is, right stick "in" for Xbox controllers (nothing mapped there anyways), this brings you now into the chat box itself, now click "a" on one of associated tabs (area, trade, guild, custom etc), use attached usb keyboard or standard Xbox on screen keyboard and type said msg, now hit enter/done

To be fair there is a vast number of ways they could implement it. But we need them to actually talk to us/about it first.You give me a chat box ZOS and I'll start giving you my money again.0
