Thank you for the text chat.
You forgot lovemaking sounds. Yes, you read that correctly. I still have mental scars from hearing that.

I found the chat pad good for what we had a few days ago, but for this it still falls short, so I dug a spare keyboard out of a closet to plug in.

Lucius_Aelius✭✭✭✭No I am not a fan.I love that it's been added but it desperately needs some basic functionality added:
1. Allow you to move/fight one-handed while typing with the other
2. Allow you to enable and disable the channels you receive from other people in any combination you see fit
3. Allow you to type and send messages while dead
I don't know how anyone ever thought it made any kind of sense at all to disable movement and actions while typing messages, but having it that way makes it useless in combat for both PvP and PvE. Lack of channels as well is a ridiculous oversight, there needs to be the option to have text chat on but only receive messages from channels of your choosing, having Zone/Area chats permanently enabled ensures that I will avoid using this feature anywhere besides Dungeons/Trials and PvP.
And not being able to send messages while dead is just an obnoxious aspect that only serves to make voice chat the clearly superior method of communication since you can talk all you want while dead. There needs to be consistency for it to be fair or right, and since people can always just use party chat or teamspeak or whathaveyou then people with voice chat will always be able to communicate while dead and as such so should people using text chat, anything less just relegates text chat to permanently being even less useful than it already automatically is compared to voice chat because of its ease of use and seamless use in combat.Edited by Lucius_Aelius on August 17, 2016 2:26PMDaggerfall Covenant - Scourge (Xbox NA) - GT: Lucius Aelius - Lord - 648CP

It'd be a lot better.
You can do that on console too. Go to the menu/social /text chat. You get a full screen text box.Huor Melwasul - Archdemon, The Demons of Light - Warlock, Hufflepuff House - ADXB1 - NAI'm only updating this because we're commenting on a thread about signatures. Give me awesomes!0 -

✭✭No I am not a fan.I voted "No", but only because there wasn't a "I don't really care, I don't/won't ever use the Text Chat function when I can just talk through my headset" option.
Text Chat coming to consoles means nothing to me. It does nothing for my game, and there is the nighest of probabilities that I will never turn the Chat Window to "On".
If people were (for some reason) excited for this, then I hope they like it.
I've played MMO's since forever, and I've always hated having to pause what I''m doing to type in some little damn window. Annoying as hell IMO.

Yes I love it should have been in from the begining!It's a fantastic addition to the game and is something that definitely should have been in from the beginning! The game lacked that little piece of life that voice chat was unable to bring to the table.
I know it's only at it's early stage which is why it wont bother me too much that improvements need to be made already to it. Option to view quick chat emotes should be toggled, report for spam option in the main text chat window, option to write text after linking said item without it just blankly going into the chat window and maybe even a trade chat window. This is only to name but a few. But I honestly couldn't be more happy that they've added this!! Next addition? Buff displays!1 -
Natetendo83✭✭Yes I love it should have been in from the begining!Tried it last night and I absolutely love it. You get spammers in the major cities, but that's normal, but the ability to send quick messages to the guild using the guild channel is wonderful.0

EZgoin76✭✭✭✭Yes I love it should have been in from the begining!I'm loving it for the most part. It's easier for me to ignore the idiots in text chat than it is in voice chat. I love having the option to use both voice and text. It should have been in the game from the start.
Those of you saying you will never use it are only limiting yourselves. To about 13 meters to be precise.
The only things I don't like are.... 1 - It's off by default. Should be on. If you don't like it then turn it off. Same as the people do with voice chat.
2 - Depending on what channel I'm in, that channel should be the only one I see as well.
3 - We should be able to type before and after linking an item.
Besides those three things, I'm loving it.I want to change the world. I'm just to lazy to do it.1 -

DurzoBlint13✭✭✭✭Yes I love it should have been in from the begining!it would/could be one of the best features in the game IF people slow down on using it to try to pawn their extra gear to make money. Putting hard to find items up every once in a while is one thing, but last night 3 out of 4 posts were just people trying to clear out their inventory and posting anything and everything they have. Even saw people trying to post monster sets like they could sell them....and no this was area text not group
also I love that they use the same color codes that are already in place for voice chat - white (area), blue (group), green (guild)0 -

i have tried 2 different chatpads on the same controller and while they are compatible, the "special keys" i.e. the symbols brought about by first using the orange or green keys are all out of order or altogether missing... i don't know if it is because my controller is over two years old and if the newer upgraded wireless controllers are compatible and makes the chatpad function right.

✭Yes I love it should have been in from the begining!It's very early days of course, but from what I have experienced so far, and the few 'test' conversations I have had (all very pleasant and helpful), I like it. I also like that it can be turned off when I want to wander around without that particular distraction. I can see it being a useful addition or alternative to voice chat in certain situations, but I really wanted text chat for RP purposes.'Pure rains make sweet rivers'0
