Console text chat discussion

✭Good thing is that at least Cyrodil zergs arent so easily formed now: Think about PC, one guy just give the orders and rest follow. I think they should go without chat for Cyrodil, at least to try it couple weeks, if they ever plan to add the chat to the consoles and definitely give reason to people to use Cyrodil group-finder.Edited by Sausage on June 16, 2015 11:08AM1 -
Ishta✭✭I'm a PC transfer. And while there's still many aspects of the game I don't like, I'm more than willing to get past much of it and just enjoy the ability to relax and play a good mmorpg on the couch with my wireless headset and keyboard. Not into the Final Fantasy setting unfortunately.
I've really loved the change and been hoping that commonsense would dictate the clear need to give us text chat here too, for the myriad of reasons already stated. It's absense is especially frustrating when the voice chat doesn't even have a 'push to talk' feature, effectively rendering that system rather useless for anyone who values their privacy and sanity.
This game could be a great success on the console. But it feels more like a single player with co-op and random noise intrusion whenever I forget to remove myself from the voice channel.
If they're really not going to give it this very basic functionality for adequate communication, I wonder how many of us will still be all that interested in buying new content or subscribing in the future.
Can't help but feel that they're shooting themselves in the foot here and honestly wish they wouldn't.
With text chat and push to talk, I'd be here for a lonnng time. My couch is pretty comfy.4 -

but until than just keep the thread going...
There's been many official statements regarding the thread topic. All have stated that text chat will not be included.
You think because a hundred or so ppl post/spam in some thread that they'll change a key development decision that was made & debated long, long ago that would affect hundreds of thousands of players?
We as players are encouraged to offer our feed back and constructive criticism on the game and that is exactly what we are doing, if you are unhappy with the thread topic and cant offer any constructive content to the discussion then please refrain from posting here.
I believe the official word was that they were open to the possibility of it in the future, not that it was never happening.
The people who are against voice chat are creepy as hell, they don't talk like real people. They have this weird quasi-religious unshakable view that text chat is this heretical practice only baser beings could consider. I honestly have a hard time believing it's real people's real perspective. At least, real reasonable people. Does anyone personally know anyone who pops a blood vessel on their forehead and foams with rage over the idea of text chat being added?
I polled my own friends and all of them who didn't already know responded with surprise, exasperation and disbelief over the lack of text chat. It was just assumed by them that it was an MMO, therefore it has text chat, and further, the PC version had text chat so it was a nobrainer that all subsequent ports would have it.
Two of them were considering getting the game and the lack of text comms resulted in their decision to not get it, but to let me know if they ever put it back.1 -

I agree! The ppl who are for text chat are kinda "creepy".
That's really strange because I "polled" my friends as well as ppl in the game and they were shocked and were in disbelief that ppl were wanting text chat added.
5 of them told me to let them know when the issue has died down and then they would buy the game, 7.5 of the ones who already were in the game said if it's added they will quit, sell their PS4, move to another country and live out the remainder of their lives as monks. 27.0 of them laughed and said..and I quote "we don't have time to go on the fourms, and those who are complaining about no text should just buy a mic and play the flippin game already or stay on the PC version that has text".My biggest question is how are we supposed to communicate with other players if we don't have a mic? I don't think we should have to go out and spend extra money just to be able to play the game.
Absolutly, why should anyone have to go out and spend money on a keyboard just to be able to text chat with the ones who would never go in VC. I'm guessing the mic that all the PS4's come with is just a prop

Agreed, there are several 3rd party 'apps/programs etc' the ppl who want to text can use....that this game does not offer....just like the PC version doesn't offer teamspeak, vent etc.....

Text chat would be fine, but hardly used. More people have headsets than a keyboard hooked up to their PS4.
Translation: I have not had an issues yet, so clearly they don't exist.
Also text chat would hardly be used? Yeah tell that to all the players using smart glass on their tablets/phones or who have plugged keyboards directly into their consoles. Neverwinter zones on console are plenty chatty with keyboard users.
Putting down your controller to type on a mobile device or even a keyboard, or just speak on your headset and keep playing? Seems like an easy choice. If they put a text chat in the game, and someone stops playing in the middle of a dungeon to type, I'll be removing them from the dungeon.
I do agree, a text chat would be handy, it just wouldn't be active or useful anywhere outside of a city. It can be a bit hard to chat in a city. People are talking as if a text box is life or death for this game, and that isn't the case. It's just a case of people online crying for the sake of crying, as usual. By all means, I welcome any new features to any game.
i Understand where you are coming from but not every one can use Voip like you can for a number of different reasons Deafness, Social Anxiety and Anonymity are just a few reasons. and just because you have not had any issues with the voice chat thus far dosent mean others haven't.
Anonymity? You're really stretching for reasons there bud. Deafness, I'll give you that. That does make sense, though no game company is ever going to put in features because maybe 10% of the players can't hear. If you think Voicechat is bad for "issues" you've clearly never seen the text chat of any MMO.
Still not disagreeing the game could use a text chat, but I'm not going to try and make up reasons for it. It could just use it, simple.

Yes anonymous. I usually avoid talking in any voice chat until I know each person well enough to speak because too often people have gone wild because OMG female on voice chat. It happens more often than people realize though I've been very lucky with people in this game not being like that for the most part!

Not everyone thinks this is a dating site.

@defcon.dealer1b14_ESO
It's the constant having to hear it and be subject to it in the first place. That's why many of us join all female guilds and avoid talking in voice chats until comfortable. We get so sick and tired of having to be subject to it in the first place.
Imagine a coworker who makes the same dumb joke day in and day out. Eventually you just can't handle hearing it anymore. You reach the same point when people sick things to you often. So you gag your Co worker. Then a new employee comes along and says he same joke. Gag him. Another new employee. Same joke. Gag him. New employee. Joke. Gag. Tear hair out.
Hope that helps a bit explain why.

Idk, u shouldn't have to go in exile because 8-12 yr olds get 'giddy' when a girls voice is on a mic. Mute/block option works great. But, all they can do is flap their gums over the internet....just like the internet commandos do.
And as I said, not everyone on the game cares one way or another wat gender the person who's helping them with quests are etc...
I know wat ur saying in reference to physically being around the person annoying someone...but that's something a mute button cannot help...on the game, it can.

This has been a social standard in most multiplayer video games since voice chat has existed. It's an interesting anomaly where literally most male players go out of their way to oddly interact with the newly discovered female.

Anguished✭✭To all the people saying 'It doesn't need text based chat'.
That's cool, that's your opinion, but in a game where guilds exist; text based chat is essential.
What's the point of a guild where you can't communicate effectively within the game?
What's the point of trading? You can't negotiate on prices effectively inside the game,
What's the point of dungeons? You can't form strategies, help eachother to co-ordinate properly.
So on, so forth.
Realm reborn hammers this game into the ground for dungeons, even the group finder is diabolical.
I'm tired of people saying ''The game doesn't need it''.
Yes it does, maybe not for you, but you don't need to use it.
There are deaf people who can't use MICS fullstop,
If text based chat isn't introduced soon, this game will see a rapid decline in player peak counts on the console. I guarantee it.
I loved Skyrim, because Skyrim was a solo game.
Elder scrolls online ISN'T solo, that's why it's called ''ONLINE'' - The whole purpose of it being online, is to experience it together.
How can you experience it together, when you can't effectively communicate?
Short answer; You can't.3 -

This is basically the reason after my mic broke I have never bothered to get a new one. Also most games barely anyone actually uses the voice chat. I have a keyboard that I use with my phone and can connect to my PS4 and just wished I could use it for ESO. I don't know how many people I hear on mics not using it to enhance a team. That could be different in this game, but I just feel you can get as good teamwork communicating or setting a team objective before a dungeon in text chat...defcon.dealer1b14_ESO wrote: »

Yes anonymous. I usually avoid talking in any voice chat until I know each person well enough to speak because too often people have gone wild because OMG female on voice chat. It happens more often than people realize though I've been very lucky with people in this game not being like that for the most part! I literally could not even attempt to give you an estimate on how many times it's happened either to me or another girl when I was around because it's happened a ton.
Not everyone thinks this is a dating site. Easy solution, if someone hears ur a girl and has never seen or heard one before, then just mute em........just the same way anyone else does if someone is 'annoying' them....whether they are man, woman or beast. What can they actually do to u through the game by hearing ur a chic?
@defcon.dealer1b14_ESO
It's the constant having to hear it and be subject to it in the first place. That's why many of us join all female guilds and avoid talking in voice chats until comfortable. We get so sick and tired of having to be subject to it in the first place.
Imagine a coworker who makes the same dumb joke day in and day out. Eventually you just can't handle hearing it anymore. You reach the same point when people sick things to you often. So you gag your Co worker. Then a new employee comes along and says he same joke. Gag him. Another new employee. Same joke. Gag him. New employee. Joke. Gag. Tear hair out.
Hope that helps a bit explain why.
I think best when defcon does responds it is easier just to ignore it like he never said anything....

Germal✭✭✭And again some posts who defend the voice chat only, but without listing the benefits of only one option^^ Voice chat is a nice addition to the game, but text chat has just to many benefits that are undeniable.
For the voice chat only defenders, give us some real arguments, i mean real ones that make text chat needles with all the beneficial arguments listed here in this thread
In this state the game is a singleplayer RPG with coop option, not a MMORPG for what it was sold. Some mean people could maybe say thats scam Oo
@Sidney thx for shareing your pov, nice addition to this thread

To all the people saying 'It doesn't need text based chat'.
That's cool, that's your opinion, but in a game where guilds exist; text based chat is essential.
What's the point of a guild where you can't communicate effectively within the game?
What's the point of trading? You can't negotiate on prices effectively inside the game,
What's the point of dungeons? You can't form strategies, help eachother to co-ordinate properly.
So on, so forth.
Realm reborn hammers this game into the ground for dungeons, even the group finder is diabolical.
I'm tired of people saying ''The game doesn't need it''.
Yes it does, maybe not for you, but you don't need to use it.
There are deaf people who can't use MICS fullstop,
If text based chat isn't introduced soon, this game will see a rapid decline in player peak counts on the console. I guarantee it.
I loved Skyrim, because Skyrim was a solo game.
Elder scrolls online ISN'T solo, that's why it's called ''ONLINE'' - The whole purpose of it being online, is to experience it together.
How can you experience it together, when you can't effectively communicate?
Short answer; You can't.
No, it doesn't. And that is also ur opinion that it's needed.
and, lol, player peaks and counts will rise and fall with any game due to several variables including.... new games coming out, new consoles being released etc etc.. too many to list. nice "guarantee" tho I'm offended that ur offended....
