Number of players in guild chat? (Console Q)
Forgive me if this has been asked. I've looked around but didn't see a similar question. This is Hypothetical. Since the console version will have a zone chat, party chat, and guild chat, I was wonder how many could be in said chat? Realistically, it's just not possible to have a 500 member guild in one chat. Even if you promoted half to officers, 250 members in chat just isn't a viable option. So what will be the limitations for in game chat?
Thanks in advanced.

Zazaaji✭✭✭✭For clarity: There is no zone chat on cosoles. ZoS admitted to not even thinking of how devastating this will be to trade, guild recruitment, LFG, and other things. They said something like they "will look into a solution for that after launch."
As for your concern as to massively huge populations in voice chat channels, simply put, we have no idea. The beta never had enough people together to test that many, and ZoS has not said. It's likely we won't know until launch when we find out for ourselves.

✭I have never really seen 500 people in a guild online at the same time, but even 100 people, which is a very reasonable number of people to be online at once in a large and active guild, could easily become a cacophony. Hopefully they have given this some thought, but they are remarkably reluctant to discuss features, or any lack thereof, in the upcoming console version. Launch is close, though, so we'll know soon enough.

I follow a lot of gaming podcasts and NO ONE is even talking about ESO right now. Two weeks from console launch and I haven't even heard it mentioned. Not a good sign.
It's a shame they didn't launch the console versions day-and-date with the PC version. Back then, there was a dearth of good games on the PS4/XboxOne. Now I doubt anyone will even bother to look up from playing Witcher3 and the latest Destiny expansion to even notice. I heard way more chatter recently on the gaming sites about the failed paid mod system for Skyrim than I've heard about the ESO console release. Even some of the ESO podcasts are barely talking about it.

traigusb14_ESO2✭✭✭✭✭Well they did say on the stream that Guild leaders could control the access to guild chat and officer chat. So there are at least 2 channels in the guild, and you can block out people who are below whatever you have a chat rank completely through rank privileges ... I suspect there may be a few more channels in there. maybe a guild trade one.

✭Wow so you guys have no idea how you even chat to find out and talk to guild to see if you want to join them? Maybe they will setup some kind of roulette wheel and you get picked to go into guild.

Well you can have a group chat with prospective members. Or you can talk to them in general chat by standing next to them...0 -
