Honestly with an MMO like this, that is so action packed. i would hate to be in a group dungeon, and people just texting. voice chat is much better in this type of situation! dont get me wrong options are always great, but with this game i dont see it working well especially on the consoles! PC is obvious since you have your keyboard.PSN: iTofuMan

Im a big fan of the game and while i dont have a sub at the moment, the one thing that really irritated me was the constant Spamming of illegal websites/hacks/etc which would clog up the chat so talking would be difficult. i can see that happening here, especially since it is "free to play".PSN: iTofuMan

The spams were annoying; but you must remember the game was also cross platform. How much do you want to bet the majority of the spammers in FFXIV:ARR were on PC, not on console? I seriously doubt the spammers would work on console (lack of automation, ability to have console bans, etc); but I could be wrong.
Not to mention, from what I've heard, spamming isn't an issue on PC version of this game due to the character deletion logic ZOS has implemented. Bots and spammers have been resolved, without removing text chat (someone please correct me if I am wrong) from what I understand. So, you may be worrying about something that doesn't exist even on PC.
Finally, even if spammers could/would exist on console, their bad behavior should not be used to punish players who would use the tool (text chat in this case) correctly, by using spammers as an excuse to not add text chat. Punish the offenders, not everyone else. I'd gladly deal with spammers in order to have a viable method of communication with randoms and an effective method to communicate with my very large guild.Crusader of The Knights of the Alessian Order

See now if thats the case then i would be fine. Im someone who like to stay in Towns/city and talk to people/friends. it was irritating to see spammers all over the place and basically seeing nothing from my friends side of the conversation because chat from others would block it. as long as some type of implication for spammers/botters is handled then Type Chat would be great!PSN: iTofuMan

Actually theyve never said theyre putting the chat boxes in game. In fact they danced around it when confronted about the issue. People only dance around issues when they dont plan to actually deal with them. So no, they arent putting it in game.

Etchesketch✭✭✭✭some really bright person came up with the voice chat only option.
What kind of person leaves chat enabled? Who wants to hear people eating and yelling at their kids while you try to play a game?
Unless you have some sort of private chat, it's completely moronic to think this would add anything positive to the game.The number one rule of online gaming is now and has always been, Never play on Patch Day.1 -

Well when i thought about voip and still do i imagine running around questing in the open and seeing some random guy and im like hey there, and he is like hi want to quest? sure im on the same one lets group up etc.
I imagine the tool to be used like it is in H1Z1 etc to become a social open world experience where you can just go to a crafting area and say can anyone make me a sword? but if people just turn it off or refuse to use their mics this awesome feature is useless.
You can always mute people shouting at their kids, but i just shout at them and tell them to mute their f mics lol and they usually do.0 -

I guess it works that way in the land of fluffy bunnies and unicorn popsicles, but in online gaming, it's never going to happen. Instead you have a bunch of white kids calling each other N and idiots spamming every known query known to man. Constant, nonstop crap spewed and a rate impossible to mute fast enough.
I and most clear thinking adults mute the voice chat within minutes of finding out how immersive it truly is.Edited by Etchesketch on June 14, 2015 10:42PMThe number one rule of online gaming is now and has always been, Never play on Patch Day.1 -

This argument about it not working so well on consoles are moot. The consoles have the ability to use a virtual keyboard that can be used via the controller. More so, any old keyboard can be plugged into the Consoles. Theres also keyboard adaptors for controllers.

✭✭I can't speak for others but I tend to close the voice chat channel when playing because there's always some obnoxious sound or annoying kids doing stupid stuff into the mic. I don't want to hear your version of the new hit song thanks.
Is there a way to chat with someone specific without being in a group?1 -

In all fairness, there isn't an argument to be won here. It's a matter of taste in the direction & feel of the game as a whole now, & going forward. Adding text chat changes the game. People who are enjoying the game the way it is may not want it to become `Cookie Cutter MMO #253'. People may not want a giant text pane taking up 1/4 of their screen. People may be interestef in the social experiment that is voip only communication.
Everyone has their reason. Deep down, all of those reasons are self serving.
Anyone pretending otherwise is deceiving you, &/or themselves.
Anywho, I vote no text. And of course, those reasons are for the financial gain of the company & for the good of the community & humanity & to save the dolphins.
So listen to me Zeni, I gots integrity & have everyone's best interest in mind.I wish nothing but joy for everyone.0 -

✭Because the PS4 mic is always on (no push to talk) I always have mine disabled.
I talk to my wife while playing and people don't want to hear my dogs.
Release day, I heard a lot of talking during the starter (prison) quest, most was nothing to do with the game for the reason I just mentioned.
In Daggerfall (EU) again was a lot of shouting, swearing, totally immersion breaking stuff blaring through my amp, and I simply disabled it.
Today I enabled it again to see how things have progressed, was back at daggerfall and other areas, a lot of people around all I heard was one person having a coughing fit. No one else spoke.
I suspect like me, many play on the main TV in living room, hence don't want swearing etc blasting through for the rest of the family to hear, or also like me, found it totally immersion breaking, hence most have disabled it.
It's one thing to voice chat in a dungeon or pvp with group members. It's another thing all together to get random people talking, shouting, swearing etc while doing normal questing etc.0 -

There is no problem because there is no text chat. Let's keep it that way.
Turning off text in Cyro, if it were a feature, puts you at a disadvantage. I don't want to be at a disadvantage & I don't want a chat pane taking up screen real estate.
My reason is more valid to me than yours, because it's mine. Therefore, no text. Ever. You want text, go play a MUD.I wish nothing but joy for everyone.0 -

If you don't want text chat because in pvp you will be at a disadvantage then that's your own fault, voice chat in pvp is proximity so far away you will never hear anything. having chat on will give a new level of communication which IMO is VERY MUCH NEEDED in pvp right now to even know where people are fighting, and to turn that off would be your own fault and unwillingness to be part of a greater community.0 -
