PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX CHAT!!!! This is ridiculous!!!!!!! Is this being done on purpose??? beacuse for no reason i can even start to think of would it justify leaving a game advertised and functioning WITH in -game chat for years and now leaving the game to function with TOXIC TOXIC text chat.... no emotions come out in text chat and simple statements can be perceived in negative ways, in most cases it depends on the feelings the reader is feeling at the time of reading..... PLEASE, IVE ASKED AND OTHER HAVE ASKED 1001 TIMES.

    I have trouble understanding which feature of the ingame chat is troubling you. Regarding your mention of the reader's perception I'll take a wild guess and say "The lack of emoticons"? Is that it?

    Well, the OP does play on Xbox, but their complaint seems to be about text chat, not voice chat.

    Their complaint seems to be that text chat is not a viable replacement for broken voice chat.

    There's actually an addon that does that; "ESO Emoji". But if you don't have it you'll just see boxes.

    I hope they fix it soon! It's true that communicating in those little text boxes lacks some of the finer points of communication. On PC, we have no built-in chat so, unless a group joins a 3rd party chat program, it is text all day and conversations can go in all directions. Meanwhile o:)

    Guidelines for Good Writing
    1. Don’t use no double negatives.
    2. Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
    3. Being bad grammar, the writer will not use dangling participles.
    4. Try to never split an infinitive.
    5. When one word is adequate enough, do not repeat yourself by using another unnecessary additional word.
    6. Do not use a foreign term when there is an adequate quid pro quo.
    7. If you must use a foreign term, don’t carpe diem and use it incorrectly.
    8. Avoid run on sentences they are hard to read read your work to see that doesn’t happen.
    9. As writers, we must not shift your point of view when I write.
    10. And don’t start a sentence with a conjunction.
    11. Take the bull by the hand and don’t mix metaphors.
    12. Avoid trendy terms because they are so totally not cool.
    13. Never, ever use repetitive and repeating redundancies.
    14. Avoid commas, that are not necessary.
    15. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas.
    16. If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading.
    17. "Avoid overuse of ‘quotation marks’."
    18. If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
    19. Eschew obfuscation.
    20. It behooves the writer to avoid archaic expressions.
    21. Avoid clichés like the plague.
    22. Proofread carefully to see if left any words out.

    oh no , its 110% about voice chat. Text chat aint much better it just makes the game more toxic. Over 2 years we been complaining about broken chat.... The games chat runs thru Microsoft , always has..... now that they own the game ya think they would fix it?!!

    never once mention emojis..... lack of emotions in text chat causes so much BS, a text message can be perceived in many ways, in the end it all comes down to the readers state of mind and mood atm....

    Xbox has had voice chat since day 1, they have kept it broken purposely I'm betting especially since now Microsoft owns the game

    sorry its so confusing, im just livid about the whole situation and so are sooooo many others.

    Can't you simply use the old smileys, like :-), in text chat instead of emojis, to circumvent that lack?
    I never saw a difference between text smileys and image emjois but maybe I'm too geek ;)

    No. Humans are a social species and tho some prefer not to socialize a lot do and even more need too, it helps with our overall mental health and quality of life, especially with a lot of Xbox players being disabled, retired or limited in their daily activities which may prevent them from being able to socialize IRL.

    This is why i use ESO social chat, without it my mental health would be in pieces..... i really hope they fix chat soon... because at this point its just laziness since the chat platform we used is owned by the people who own the game now...... PC dosnt have a Voice chat no, but they have several programs they can use, we do not.

    I flagged this with a dev in a stream about 2 years ago and they said they'd speak to the correct team to look into it.

    Nothing since then, so it's not a priority, clearly.

    It's so busted right now.

    Often, I'm in no chat channels at all and in an Xbox party and I can hear people in the game talk.

    That is another level of broken. It makes zero sense.

    Yet if I try to join guild chat and I'm not in a party, I can't hear anyone, but they can hear me...

    its so rediculious beacuse the platform they ran had their chat thru (Microsoft) OWNS THE GAME NOW

    .... wow, im sorry my cat decided i was done typing and jumped on my keyboard lol LOL. Ive seen soooooo many people leave because of voice chat being broken, social guilds were the haven for a lot of people who are stuck home, deal with social anxiety and other issues/illnesses.... i HATE having to sit alone alllllll night hoping someone will inv me to party or one of my friends i have will show online or reply to a message.... i WILL NOT ever just join peoples partys because i find it rude and hate it when people do it to me too.... but honestly, they need to REALLY look as to WHY some people choose to play this type of game.... ITS TO SOCIALIZE AND BE PARTY OR A COMMUNITY.... and they are neglecting to fix the one biggest thing that is needed to do that.....
