    That wasn't directed at you, it was directed at posts that the moderators have now deleted for personal attacks.

    Can we get a non pre typed out msg please? I see no flaming really!

    No need to be snarky with the moderators. :smile: There are rules.

    Very true but I see no flames or people freaking out and arguing in this thread?

    Exactly my point. :)

    I hope they keep a close eye on this thread, and remember to report anyone that lobs a clear personal attack at anyone else. Common debating is fine, but (for example), an entire post about insulting a person's nationality (as someone did to me in a post that has been deleted) is not acceptable.

    This is an ES game, honestly I think there should only be voice chat when in a party. You will meet people while questing or doing dungeons. So many people are playing the wrong game. This game is still a mostly single player game with multiplayer as a fun bonus. Personally I think focusing on single player content along with 4 man dungeons should be main focus for the game. Keep groups controlled and smaller yet still social if people want it.

    I to have felt the wrath, and thankfully the ppl who took shots at me edited their own posts, and some a mod deleted for me. I feel better now. I'm not just a piece of meat, I have feelings and opinions that i shouldn't be scared to post here for fear of being persecuted.

    Of course it should,Its especially a problem if you are on EU.
    Some people may not be able to speak english or may not be able to speak english good,Some may be able to write better then they can speak. ( i am suffering from this problem myself)

    And it will make the game more social,Make it easier to advertise your guild,sell and trade stuff and so on. First day of playing now and i just hear people in bad kinect quality :/ but still i am liking the voice chat burt they dont need to remove text chat just becouse its on.

    Hi...here I am. Everyone remember me? Yea, the 14 page thread poll about text chat that got 'forwarded' to developers.

    And so, here we are...the great, visionary direction to go with only voice and no text chat. How's that working out so far?

    It's not.

    Let's start with guild recruiting. I'm running a very productive trade guild that's growing daily. We hold the DW guilld trader in EP 12 hours after launch. You know how you invite people to the guild in ESO console?

    - You go to the guild roster, add member and either TYPE in their gamertag or you copy and paste it from an EXTERNAL source like a guild recruiting thread and paste into an EXTERNAL app like SmartGlass to just get a gamertag into the text field. A gamertag like 'zxAnOP1OvIOlxz' ...yea, was that a 1 or a L..a o or 0...yea, a nightmare that you multiply by 50 members you are trying to get invited into the guild at launch. You notice how many times I said EXTERNAL...meaning leave the game and go outside of it to do something you can't do in game.

    No @gamertag matching or autofillin, all manual. You can't even go up to a player and select 'Invite to Guild'...here is what you have to do...
    - You open up Social > VOICE CHAT > Area and then it shows a list of people who are PARTICIPATING in voice area chat, withing 20yds...WHO haven't figured out that they even were in Voice chat mind you...and this is what you do...you select to interact with Area participants and it gives you the option to literally SPAM 'invite to guild' by selecting their name. No warning, no voice response, just spam away. This turns into the most abusive, unfriendly way to interact with random people, cause this is the only EFFICIENT way to get players into your guild! No one talks in area voice chat, don't kid yourself....all you hear is screeches and living rooms of moms yelling at random house members cause Kinect is picking it all up. No one is going to say 'Hey, I'm going to invite you to the guild' because no one is frickin listening to Area chat!

    Now...after that painful experience, you have your guild established. You then proceed to manage and communicate with your guild members. Oh, here we go...6 voice channels, 5 member channels of 100 and a officer channel. Now...how do you monitor the guild to make sure there isn't anyone breaking guild rules? Oh sure...as a guild officer, just join all 6 channels....WhaaaANNNNT..wrong answer. You can only join ONE voice channel anywhere in ESO console...ONE! You group with people....well then, you leave your guild channel you were in entirely. You need to discuss a issue with officers and a guild member? You have to form a group with those individuals separately OR PROMOTE the guild member to Officer so he/she can land I the officer channel. Yes folks, ONE voice channel at a time. Oh, and don't get me going on how to run trivia contests or raffles to raise gold for guild traders, that's gonna be awesome when you only have one voice channel..not.

    This is just the tip of the iceberg. People aren't using voice on console as much as some people think they would...and without it, you are left with a quick chat wheel. Let me go into this gimmick. It's not a separate chat wheel for common phrases that really have no value, it's SHARED with the 100 emotes already in game. So you have 8 total slots...for emotes and text phrases that pop over your head....eight...again, that's eight. Yea...you wanna know who I see using this? Right...no one..

    It's a quiet, solo world out here in console. And before I secured our guild trader, people had no clue how to get their stuff into other players hands. Trading does NOT exist with voice chat. Sorry, doesn't work. The guild traders offer this solo experience a way to interact with other people. But why?

    Well, because we don't have a simple feature that's been part of MMOs since the dawn of time. Text chat. A simple way to communicate with anyone, anywhere in the game. Across a zone, within your guild, within your group. A simple 'WTS stack of Jute 200g'...nothing major, nothing complex. Just a keyboard and a text box.

    That's it, that's all.

    Ign is already making little comments on your side. Wonder what other sites will follow suit or love it like it is? Should have offered options even if voice chat was main option..

    Yes this needs to be implemented asap. You can attack keyboards to your X1/PS4 or use smart glass. Don't want it, would rather not see the window or instead listen to all the babies crying in the background, horrible quality music, N-Bombs and F-bombs from all the children and imbeciles in the populated areas. Well turn it off. It needs to be an option for those who want it.

    Well I talked about this along with others before release till we where blue in the face. There really needs to be text chat added back in.

    Voice chat as expected is god-awful.. I end up turning off area chat after 5-10mins as I can not stand listening to everyone's open mics, mouth breathers, music blasting, screaming kids, people with mics turn up too high so its a garbled mess, etc...

    Sad thing is this isn't even a full day in ... I expect in a week that no one will be using mics anymore because of this so there will be no form of communication.

    ZOS if you're dead set on no text chat then there HAS to be push to talk for voice chat.

    Please give a good reason as to why to leave it out? What if you did not want it turned on and you could toggle it off?

    Your guild and your dungeon groups would demand you to have it on and have a keyboard plugged in. Voice chat is much better..
