I don't know about you, but this just might completely ruin my wanting of the console version.
ZoS - Why on earth would you do this? I see absolutely NO reasoning for this. Can you please at least clarify how on earth non voice chatters are supposed to communicate?
Seriously I completely fail to see a valid reason. PC version clearly gets it, Neverwinter Xbox One has it, I just don't get the exclusion. I'll very likely cancel my preorder if this turns out to be the case. I won't be able to communicate with ANYONE without this.
Zos - Can you at least give us the reasoning behind this seemingly incredibly poor decision? How are we non voice chatters supposed to communicate for trading, looking for groups, general guild chit-chat, heck general area chit chat?

Edited by Zazaaji on April 17, 2015 10:36PM However, keyboard support for chat is not something that will be available for the console version of the game. You will be able to use a keyboard for text entry in areas such as guild naming, etc., but not for chatting.

English is not my first language, Finnish is.

Zazaaji✭✭✭✭Edited to clarify the point. As long as they somehowly manage a good replacement system for communicating in all the above fields for those without the ability to voice chat, it's fine. But really, I don't see how.English is not my first language, Finnish is.

✭Get a mic.
Okay, that's being rude. But there isn't text chat in Halo, GTA, or nigh on any other game I've seen outside of Neverwinter. I personally will probably minimize the text box completely if I can and get it out of the way. There is nothing other players will be saying that I'll really want to see anyway. If we need to group or talk, we can do so easily through party chat.
Of course I'm an Xbox user, so party chat and microphones are fairly common and well-used. Again, my opinion.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.1 -

✭Oh, and Neverwinter allows you to use the on-screen keyboard to talk, if you want to. Not sure if this is what ESO will do, but as clunky as that keyboard is, I'd rather just skip it.
I would buy a wireless keyboard, but I don't think Xbone supports bluetooth hookups, so meh.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.

Snowstrider✭✭✭✭✭What the vehk? Really ZoS? An MMO without text chat? Please ZoS do something about this,I dont want ESo on console to be an empty wasteland
I hoped you would follow that final fantasy games footsteps but sadly you didnt,It offers crossplay and keyboard+mouse support.
I thought you said that we were being able to use the keyboard to chat0 -

✭I said it in another thread but I'll say it again. With no type chat it limits our ability to sell to other players outside of our guild which will place additional pressure on guilds to get guild stores.
But the big one for me is that different guild raids will be unable to coordinate simultaneous attacks in CyrodiilI if they are not in say distance of each other without type chat. Please reconsider this decision ZOS or at least let us know why you have made this big change.
I love voice chat but for practical reasons this game needs type chat as well.PUG Life - the true test of your skill
18 characters, 17 max level, at least 1 Stam and 1 Mag of every class, 1 of every race and 1200+ CP

✭✭Use the force OP:P naw hope they fix whatever issues need done for the console crew.
I can imagine the frustration being unable to type in a MMO on console.Once I was a lamb, playing in a green field. Then the wolves came. Now I am an eagle and I fly in a different universe.
