There should be a World chat, right?

Stratforge

Edit: This would be limited by campaign but all alliances could be in it. I thought posting this in Alliance War would have made it clear that I was talking about pvp but apparently not.

By world do you mean across all campaigns / player zones? or across all factions in cyrodiil?

The less players from different factions can interact the better imo. Should only be able to communicate with each other via emotes and killing each other.

Damianos

no

Not no, but HECK NO! I already am maxed on my ignore list due to the utter BS that people put in zone chat.

Takllin

yeah

Think about the BDO level of trash talk though.

CatchMeTrolling

Yeah should have the option but I'm not sure it would be good in pvp, more of a pve thing.

Integral1900

no

No way in hell, there is enough spam as it is!

Gilvoth

yeah

this is what i wanted from the beginning. way back when this forum was on the bethesda forums early 2012, but zenimax refused it.
the mmo's i played always had world chat, it was good and alot of smak talk and always a fun to watch people smak talk then run out and all kill each other.
was always happening.
but here in eso is just kinda .. boring zone chats.

But this isn't BDO but ESO. Who really enjoys trash talk but kiddies and people with small epeen?

Yeah that's great for a more open world pvp system like BDO where everyone is for themselves and there are no alliances/realms, but for AvAvA or RvRVR etc it doesn't work as well imo.

Many can't handle alliance specific zone chat in Cyrodiil. The won't handle this either. Like Inigo in TF. He moans whines and complains about me all night long. But he still hasn't right clicked my name and clicked on ignore. That's what you're dealing with.

Vapirko

no

Noooo. Why? I'd assume most people already disable "Say," and I rarely even use zone unless I'm in PvP.

DannyLV702

no

It would be the dumbest thing they could do. UNLESS they add tabs where we could switch out of it and not have to see it. I'm sure pc has ad ons for this but console doesn't, so it'd be cancer

Alcast

no

Armageddon

kevlarto_ESO

no

NO !! getting hates tells is good enough, world chat would be really bad, to many derps

Turelus

no

You mean a gold selling advertisement and troll baiting chat right? That's all I have ever seen them become.

danno8

no

The problem with making it "optional" is that only one chat tab can be the "main" chat for buying/selling/lfg etc... and people will use the one that has the most listeners.

By default that tab would become the "World" chat tab and you would be forced to have it on if you wanted to get anything done in regards to multiplayer activities.

People are lazy and don't want to be constantly changing tabs from the "lfg" tab to the "trade" tab to the "general" tab so they will take the path of less resistance and the "world" tab will be the only tab to ever get used. And therefore it will also be the go-to tab for annoying kids opinionated loud-mouths and political discussions and arguments.

Forget it.

That's a base feature for PC.

This crowd is extremely casual. And we wonder why PvP is heading in the direction it's heading.

Oh my god I would pay an extra sub just to have access to such chat! THE GLORIOUS TRASH TALKS WOULD BE TOP TIER

Lol obviously it would have this option...

The trash talking and fun would make it worth it.

Cadbury

no

In other MMOs, I don't see much in the way of trash talk on World chats. It's mainly just sales spam, gold seller spam, and general spam.


Trash talking would actually be more interesting

Jsmalls

yeah

Please I need to call out the AD and EP zerging scrubs.
