I would love to have a Text Chat. i'm playing on European Server and - suprise - we habe dozens of languages over here, so communication is quite impossible. All I hear is farting sounds and crieing babys. Playing with a headset is annoying sometimes, especially when the Dolby Surround System sound SO much better. I cn't search for special items or vampire bites, no idea how to do it without the forums ... Can't run around town all the time asking everyone, got a job and stuff do.
I played FFXIV until reaching Level 50 and enjoyed communication with the community, reading global chat and see what Guild members are talking about. ESO feels unforgettably very lonely are the moment in comparison. The rest is great and all, bit text chat would be amazing.
I've gone back to FFXIV. That game is vastly superior in every meaning of the word.
Party finder works wonders,
Guilds aren't pointless
Trade actually means something.
Dungeons aren't boring.
Post game isn't just a grind
And oh.
There's actually a community, you don't feel isolated in an mmo environment.
Don't want to listen to people on Mic? You dont need too!
I couldn't even get to level 50 or finish the story, it's so painfully boring and you can't make friends like you can in other mmo's like warframe or Realm reborn.
Eso would have been cool on last gen, but it's poorly executed on current gen. It's competition just annihilates them.
Communication on consul is very difficult. I can't stand zoning into a city and having the voice chat auto change to that channel. Having 10 year olds scream obsenities in my ear has often driven me to play with the sound off. Text chat is easily ignored and makes it easy to block immature players.

yeah i agree. Every time i get into a area chat i have to leave it right away due to the squeekers screaming in their mics, not to mention the people that use kinects for mics... OH MY GOD.

I wonder why console doesn't use push to talk? i know keys are limited but there must be something to bind it to, but i think the biggest issue with PS4 at least is there's no sensitivity control so it picks up everything and u cant lower it, i mean that's basic on ts3 etc.

There actually is a mic level adjustment:
Settings -> Devices -> Audio Devices -> Microphone Level
Just no one seems to know where it is, or if they do they don't take the time to filter out background noise levels.

This is the volume of my mic to others not activation sensitivity.

What's sad is it's a basic feature even crappy F2P games like neverwinter get.
Dear Zos-
Please reconsider a Chat Box for those that want it. Make it a option at least. I was logged into the game for about 30 min and had to turn off voice chat because it was really bad. From feedback from others mics to the person constantly yelling and saying the game sucks etc. It is great when in a guild or with a group, but part of the game is interacting with random people to sell/trade items and the voice channel will need to be open to do this and it just is a mess. Give us the option to have chat box and let the end user decide if we want to use it or have it closed.
Please reconsider this decision.
Thank You!
