SURxR3AL✭✭✭It's clear that with release on 2 massively populated platforms, the number of console posts would be huge, especially in the week after release.
There's plenty of room in the sandbox.
yeah there is plenty of room for all of us PC and console its just ZoS just open the flood gates and the pc guys are overwhelmed which is understandable. theres a huge flux with console players on the forums now so it gets kinda confuseing im suer after a while they will have a pc and console only. its just hard to navigate through all the new posts thats all. it can be frustrating but everyone has to be patientNA Server (Xbox One)

It's more than frustrating. All of us have been asking for console-specific forums for their own General Discussion since console beta as we knew this was coming. Just have to wait and see what the GD looks like in a few weeks before ZOS looks into console forums.Edited by nastuug on June 12, 2015 7:56PM0 -

Hey all
I'm having a great ESOTU experience.So much fun! Lone wolfing it right now too because I like to take my time at and investigate every nook and cranny and read books and so on.
Am thoroughly enjoying building my character too.
Watching folks trying to kill guards is nuts but so much fun too. I keep saying it....please can we have item interaction?? I want to be able to sit on a bench in the markets or on the docks an watch the ESO world go by from time to time.
Currently at Lvl 9 and about to go Lvl 10.
Have a great weekend all .

dlepi24✭✭✭✭I've already posted what I feel like needs to be changed but I'll post it here and delete the other threads I've started....
Before I start saying what's bothering me, let me first say I'm really enjoying the game. I love pc but I'm genuinely having fun on console. You guys did a great job and everyone I pass is talking about how much fun they're having. However, a couple things are really bothering us while playing. For one, not being able to open up your quickslot menu while moving is a really big pain in PvP (and probably PvE). It would be great to be able to open it on the fly and navigate it.
Secondly, it would be awesome to have an auto-run mechanic like maybe double-click the left thumbstick and it would enter auto-run then allowing you to open the map.
The map itself would be awesome if it had a "back" and "forward" mechanic. It takes forever to zoom in/out and then to back out to the zone map/world map. It would be nice if we could click a button to "zoom out" a zone or at least speed up the map zoom feature.
I've also noticed that while in PvP you can see your alliance leaderboard, but not the others. I always like to see how much ap the other alliances have compared to mine/ours. You have the other alliance tabs, but no names under them. Maybe it's something you'll be implementing later.
So, it seems that for console you cannot stack items in the guild bank. On PC I remember having to manually pull everything out and stack them in my inventory and put them back in (until the addons came out for it thank God lol). However, on console you can't do this because you can't stack items in your inventory unless I'm missing something. There's no dragging the item to another item and I've explored the actions tab for items as well and there's split stack but you can't conjoin stacks. I have a 12 player guild on console and the guild bank is already full because there's just tons of (5) iron ore, (3) jute, etc. I understand your reasoning for not automatically stacking items, but could you maybe make it a permission to stack guild bank items so then guild masters could give the access to others.
The only way to get around this as of now is to pull everything out of your guild bank into your inventory. Then take your inventory and place it into your personal bank which will narrow everything down to a single stack that you can then withdraw and place back into the guild bank.
That's really the only complaints I have about the game. I was thoroughly surprised how full the game felt and how great of a job you guys did. I really don't seem to notice much of a difference between PC and console other than the controls and graphics. Hopefully, you can add those features in!2 -

For the past....30 weeks, my god so long, I've been stuck in an endless grind with no real reward. I have completed objectives without knowing the reason. I have seen characters who spoke, never speak again. I've been told I can't advance in status because I had hit my weekly limit. I have seen the same landscapes, never change. I've worn the same gear, and used the same weapons as everyone else, because that's what was demanded No sense of self, no individuality. But here, in ESO, I feel free. Free to do what I want, how I want. I can look how I want, use what I want, with the tactics I want. It was very much needed for this gamer's health(because I was losing my mind), and a welcome change.
Hi Silence1684. Feel free to do what you wish but be mindful that if you are against text chat you will anger many people on this forum that can't figure out how to use a mic. If you are all for it then I have some bad news
I have no problem with OPTIONAL text chat, and can use a mic properly lol.2 -

✭What is up with console players names?! It seems like 90% of them have numbers in them whereas PC has almost all lore-friendly names.

I highly agree, or being able to select which area you want to view instead of having to zoom all the way out to the world, find the appropriate zone, and zoom back in.

Yes, guild bank and inventory not stacking is terrible. I'm from PC so I expected the guild bank not to auto stack (ours doesn't either) but at least it stacks in our inventory (and.. I feel like this should be our jingle "there's an add-on for that")Lone Wolf HelpFor the solo players who know, sometimes you just need a hand.PC | NA | AD-DC-EP | Discord1 -
I waited a year for ESO (didn't play PC version), and i must say it is EVERYTHING I hoped it would be. Well, almost everything.
I really, really, really wish there were a text chat-box.
Don't get me wrong, the voice-proximity thing works decently, I mean, if you like hearing people speaking to their kids in languages you don't understand, or hearing not-so-great music playing softly over the game music. I'll admit the switching between various channels (guild, group, etc.) is very fluent and works well. However, it is frustrating trying to put together a group of randoms for some 4 man dungeons when over half of the people queuing don't have mics and/or don't bother even joining the group channel.
I've racked my brain and I cannot figure out WHY this wasn't implemented in the first place. Is ESO for consoles literally the first MMO to not have a text-chat?

One more complaint:
I wish I could see my active buffs/debuffs of myself and my party members on my screen (if I so wish), because it makes things like healing and cleansing more difficult. How do I know when to cleanse anybody??
Just more UI options in general would be nice, since we have no options for mods at all.
Otherwise great game 9.5/10 Definitely my best buy for PS4 so far. 0 -

@ Buster42. Hello to you! I have to be honest, no I haven't yet tried fishing, but intend to do so this weekend. I reckon it will be a good idea to get away from the main towns/villages as its the weekend and likely to be busy thus laggy in those places.
I made note of a few quieter spots. So I'll give it a go!
@Aeula. Yes, I think I would prefer my in game name to show on the forums.
@Silence1684 Hey Silence. Glad that you are at last able to play as you want to. It's bloomin awesome!!, isn't it? heehee.
@MissBizz Good to meet you Miss Ambassador.
@coryevans_3b14_ESO . Your posts make me giggle.
Nice to meet you. 
Have a wonderful ESOTU weekend everyone!! Young at heart. Slightly older in other places.

I've been playing on Xbox One since Tuesday, started out with a dragonknight the first two days but tried out an Altmer sorcerer and I like it much better, this game is amazeballs. I agree that graphics are always superior on PC games, and it would be nice to have a chat box, but I personally prefer console gaming. I wish we could all just get along, but that is extremely naive, I suppose. I'm just tickled shitless to be exploring a new E.S. game with the frickin' MAN Jeremy Soule laying down the background music! I do wish the character names were displayed and not the gamertags, however.Edited by rottingprimate on June 13, 2015 4:03AM0 -

Because i dislike hearing 20 different conversations all at the same time, and thats just the area chat guild chat is far worse in a large guild, i also like the ease of grouping and trading that comes with been able to send a message zone wide.
