STOP SWITCHING MY CHAT CHANNELS ZOS!

Shadow_Akula

Yes another one of these threads! 😐 I’m tired of logging in and finding I’m in Area chat, and a guild chat I didn’t assign. Ok last time I wasn’t in any decent social guilds which used chat channels in game, but since then I have found one and it’s very annoying because my chat channel every week switches from that one to a trade guild one I as I said didn’t assign! SO PLEASE ZENIMAX FIX OUR CHAT CHANNELS! 🤬

also last time I complained the gap between the automatic forced chat channel change was considerably longer. Today as I complain it’s been less than a week! Less than a week and I’ve been forced into channels I don’t want to be in and been forced out of channels I do want to be in!

Oh wait no never mind ZoS what am I saying it’s not CS content so of course you won’t fix it, just like you haven’t fixed the disappearing chat channel bug which has been in game since pretty much the start of the game. 🙄 so I guess since ZoS won’t fix it you guys can consider this a vent thread. 🤬

Instead of starting another thread on this I’ll continue my own thread a few months later.

STOP SWITCHING MY DAMN CHAT CHANNELS ZOS! If I want to be in my 3rd guild chat ffs please leave me in my 3rd guilds damn chat channel stop putting me into area and 1st guilds chat every few months! 12 chars I need to log into and change channels with 12! Not to mention your chat system is still bugged AF! It’s a 50-50 on whether the chat will disappear or not. 🤬🤬🤬

I’ve asked nicely in the past in long forgotten threads. I’m sick of logging in to find ZoS has taken it upon themselves to change my chat channels 🤬

Huh? You are always defaulted to /say on login. It doesn't change after a week or a few months.

Yeeesssss. I hate getting defaulted to area chat upon logging in. Anybody on console knows how disturbing some of the banter in area chat can be. I now park all my characters in my house to avoid the noise when I log in.

Lol Would it really be eso if you didn't start hearing dudes being racist and homophobic, hear random kid screaming or awful music everytime you log in or go to a new area sometimes?

I didn't even know there was voice chat in ESO. I thought that was why people used Discord.

I can see in your sig that you're on Xbox, so maybe this is an Xbox-related problem? What platform do you play on, OP? Because on PS4 I can't say that that has ever happened to me, the only time the game changes voice channels by itself is when I enter a dungeon and the channel gets changed to group automatically. Area chat only enables itself without me actively doing it (which I never do) on new toons, as soon as they spawn in overland for the first time. Then, when I disable it, it never pops up again.

Edit: Never mind the question, I just saw that you're on Xbox, too, OP. So maybe it really has something to do with that.

On a good day, I remember to switch or turn down the volume before porting to Vulkhel Guard. But usually I forget and jump out of my skin once the LOUD NOISES hit. Gods I hate going to VG.

YES. I've posted threads about this atrocious QOL oversight for years and they seem to have no interest in fixing it.

You stress too much. You'll develop hearth problems.

If on pc you can use the p-chat addon to change those settings to default to whatever you wish on startup. And if not on pc buy a pc then get the game on pc and install it and the addon with minion addon manger problem solved.
