Console text chat discussion

You can also ask what the player is selling with ohh my gosh your voice and then join a group with them and haggle with them their.Also trading on consoles won't work like that unless they completely change the way trading works, you have to be Infront of the player and then one of you have to click on the redial menu to trade with them.
You can't use the ingame mail system because you could get scammed and you also don't know when you have mail at time.Another thing am pretty sure if they add Text chat they will use players Gamer tags not ingame character name.Which you need to send mail.
So tell me how will trading work on console with a Text box?[/quote]
Do you play om console? i gotta ask cause your infromation is way off base...you can use the mail with out getting scammed super easy it called C.O.D...Cash on delivery pretty simple to/.
open mail
attach item
select request gold and enter amount
now said person can not get the attachment with out paying the money which is sent right back to you[/quote]
Hes just another player completely ignorant of game mechanics saying text chat is useless0 -

PKLdude✭✭✭ts not needed you can do everything in the game without text chat you all just choice not to use it.its not ZOS fault your anti-social and don't want to talk to people like normal human beings.
So you were lying when you said this:Sir I have read each and every post in thsi 61 page thread
Because nobody who had actually honestly read all of the posts where people have explained their reasons would come away with the idea that it's about being anti-social. Nor would they come away with the idea that voice chat is a solution to the issues raised in this thread.
So, you have not read each and every post in this thread.
Sir I am in no way lying I read each and every post in this now 63 page thread I was board and had nothing to do took up three hours of my team while I wàs out and about.You can not tell me my opinion is wrong when its my opinion. I stand by my original statement that you don't want to talk with people because.You will rather hide behind a keyboard and type a message Instead of having a conversation with a person using your Vocal cords.How is that being social many people have claimed that instead of talking to people most mute their mics and leave area chat or join a party by their selves instead of asking players to turn off their music or you can hear them breathing.
I also read each post where someone put up a valid reason agansit the implementation of text chat and they were ignored and told they were wrong with no proof to back it up.
So again Sir I have read each and every post and I have drawn to the conclusion that most would rather become anti-social and they wonder why they can't find a group to run a dungeon or PvP with.
As I pay the game I am continuing to see the major issues with leaving out such a basic mmo game feature. I was hesitantly in support of not having this feature in the beginning because hey throw them a bone let them try something different, but given the issues with the voip, grouping, trade, for chat, etc etc etc. Also who says being social is simple using your vocal chords as you have stated, typing a response is just as social. I guess all those deaf people signing instead of vocalizing, although some do, are anti social, stupid argument if i ever heard one. Maybe if everything else worked perfectly I might be for it but now not at all.

I have to wonder why the actual designers made the choice. Maybe tech stuff maybe design stuff.
There is nothing to "wonder" about, they've plainly said why it was left out many times now. It was removed because they couldn't figure out a way to make the text chatbox minimalistic and still readable while playing from across a room.
I just happen to disagree w/ this sentiment, as other MMO games w/ much less funding have been succeeding at doing exactly that for well over a decade. I simply do not believe that ZOS does not have the resources or know-how to make it work.
If anything, I believe it was pulled due to time constraints. That's the only thing that actually make sense to me. Certainly, one can be of the opinion that a minimalist UI trumps the need for greater communication, and ZOS has often erred on the side of "make it look pretty" rather than "make it functional and user-friendly". But I honestly see that as even worse.mrskinskull wrote: »This thread has about 25 unique pro text posters.
Either actually count, or just leave statements like this out. You're way off and just making numbers up.mrskinskull wrote: »If even half of the consumer base was in this thread, it would likely be addressed.
Well now, if you can find me ANY MMO where HALF the player base even knows about its official forums, let alone posts in a single thread about ANYTHING, maybe this would make sense. But since we both know that has literally never happened in the history of gaming, I think we can just go ahead and say that's a ridiculous statement.
What matters is that ZOS sees that people are making reasonable arguments for the addition of text-based communication and are interested in its implementation. That's it.
There is no "winning" or "losing" the debate, it's just making the on-going desire for text-based chat known and letting them decide if they will eventually add it in some manner to the console version of the game.6 -
Laranoye✭✭✭Reading through all this, All i can say is WOW...
What is peoples problems? Not one person has said about taking away your precious voice chat, However anyone else with other opinions are shutdown.
Now I am a very experienced MMO player, meaning i have played them all pretty much.. And yes what makes an MMO is the social aspect, VOIP is not social at all for an mmo... ON ITS OWN.. It needs text for everything everyone else has stated.
At the moment I think its just gamers who only play consoles or are new to the MMO genre, that know absolutely no better.
There is NO way an MMO can function efficiently without text chat.. you can argue until the cows come home, but i guarantee you will get bored and start realizing this yourself but it will be too late.
AGAIN no one is saying remove the voip so get off your console gaming solo playing high horses, and just help make the game better for everyone....
All other mmos manage it...4 -

Most have left, annoyed at being ignored. Talking in the guild or in area with 20 other people talking over you is such a poor design. Can't mute the mic, can't text chat.... Tired of asking for a dungeon and 10 kids replying "my sack needs a dungeon". Anyone who says text isn't needed isn't a real mmorpg person. Sorry, this isn't a single person rpg. Need a text chat box.
And I'm tired of the dudes that are pre-50 telling all of us text isn't needed. Anything pre-50 is technically not needed. It's the raids, dungeons and vet stuff that text is NEEDED..... I have to admit, the devs do listen to reason, if not to the forums. Thank you for "nameplates", a welcome addition to immersion, as well as the text chat box for PS4, which only comes on the screen when I need it too, and helps this gameplay SO MUCH MORE then without it. THANK YOU for the additions. Very much appreciated.2 -

I'm still here. Since the moment there even was a debate. But then again, having played since beta, I suppose I'm already pretty used to having important issues be ignored for long periods of time.
I have a lot of perseverence. Or I'm just stubborn.
ZOS has changed their minds on many things since launch (and before), for better or worse. This is no different. Either they decide to implement it or they don't.
All we can do is continue to let them know that we want it.

Horrible decision. Only 3 of my friends left of the 15 that came from FFXIV and DCUO. All hit vet between 2 and 5 and left. Communication is bad, man. 30 people talking at once in a guild while trying to get something done is ridiculous..... not to mention you have to be in an isolated part of Tamriel to be listening since inside a town you'll have 2 different kinds of music playing in the background, while some other dude is shouting "hellz no, n*gg*a, my sh*t is hawt, what! Deez nuts HAHAH"

Why do I say this here, because ESO is meant to be my 10 year go to game and I am just not feeling the interaction like others out there. I am getting more interaction from a 5 man team making an MMO based on SWG and UO called The Repopulation than ESO which I can only assume has more resources then I am getting a little frustrated.

Of course, If you have something new to add, I'd try to take it into account.

TL;DR: It should have become pretty obvious by now that the console version of this game simply doesn't work as intended without text chat. Core MMORPG features such as guilds, grouping, PvP coordination, trading, even roleplaying - all of them suffer due to poor player communication options.
Any post has become pointless after April 2015 on this topic....it's just ppl trolling
This is about the 16th thread after all those April threads were locked and or deleted

Well then I hope it continues to get bumped until they add the feature that should have been in in the first place. I'm getting tired of talking over people to try to get something done in a group. I'm tired of going into town of zone and having to turn the mic of because I'm hearing a friend can in the background, godawful mic feedback, people on there phones, unrelated chit chat to people outside the game, loud ass noises that made me spill my drink once because it came as such a shock, etc etc etc. Im tired of waiting an hour sometime more as a damn tank/healer to get a group, hell I choose those specs in any other mmo and the queue time is practically instant, but hey the group finder is working as intended right *rolls eyes*. Fix this crap then maybe I'll support it more but as it stands it is broken and turning people off to the game.

Yes, of course the thread is pointless since april, because all of us that started playing this game in june don't deserve to share our opinion...
Now, I won't retype the lenghty post I made on page 52, post #1540, you guys can go read it there and you should, I think it's a good read. But I will repeat this: I don't want text chat to avoid the social aspect of the game. I want text chat so that I can communicate with those who turned off their mics, or are in different channels. Text chat wont mean I'll stop using voice. Voice is great in some situations, even better than text, but for most situations, text is FAR superior.

Personally, I've been extremely pro text chat since before the console beta when it was first revealed by a correction that @ZOS_JasonLeavey made that it will only have voice chat. I think I predate Varicite on it, but I'm not entirely sure.
There's also the opposite side where NewBlackSmurf, defcon, and others has been against text chat since before the beta as well.
My point is that the determination and origin of when a person speaks about it is not important. What matters is pure numbers. I think. I'm still not sure ZoS has cared about this thread at all since page 8 or so.

Oh, yes, I,m sure there are multiple people on both sides. I pointed out to him because he's the OP and I remembered seeing him pretty much throughout the thread. What I meant is more in the lines of not giving up after all this time and still continues to persevere. You guys are also determined, I'm sure of it, I just didn't take time to pay attention to who did more than 3-4 posts.
That being said. I know the devs remain silent on the problem, but the more this thread keeps going, the less they can ignore it. I'm sick of people saying it's only a vocal minority repeating the same thing all the time, because those vocal people need to do it since a lot af players A: have no idea there is an official eso forum, B: don't come because it's just people bashing each other (which it is, just like every other mmo forum), or a multitude other reasons.
I talked to quite a few people in my guild and pretty much all of them agreed that text chat should be in, but I don't see them post here, partly because they don't like forums, but also because they don't have an english as good as mine (yeah, maybe you didn't realise it but english is not my first language). The french text chat thread exists, but it's not quite as active as this one. The point is if I don't see people of my guild post here, that means there is a lot of people who want text chat, but don't come here to say it, and for their sake, I'm glad that some people are holding hard to this.3 -

I'm sure if they did a world wide poll on the consoles and asked everybody before entering the game to answer the poll the majority would say yes for Damage numbers etc... and Text Chat.
I honestly don't know why people think having less options even on Consoles is a bad thing.
Destiny had no Option to turn music on and off this is how Obnoxious it's gotten. IT NEEDS TO STOP.
Just because I like the convenience and affordability of consoles doesn't mean you should take away these options and design choices that work well on both platforms. It's like they're treating the Console Base as idiots who don't even know how to use a KB.Edited by AaronLannister on July 22, 2015 6:53AM3 -

rawne1980b16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭If text chat was added your voice chat would still be there.
It would help hearing impaired people and those that don't talk because they listen to music while gaming or just don't want to.
Things won't change for those of you that do want to talk.
There is no good argument against having a chat box unless you are against hearing impaired players being in your game.
The text box also offers NPC subtitles for conversations outside of quests which hearing impaired players can't hear.
All in all, the port to console was a lazy effort by ZOS. It missed out a key feature in an MMO.

Winterpsy✭✭✭Every time I log in the first thing I do is leaving the voice channels. Because of the ammount of cat meowing, kids crying and yelling, farting, static, feedback, music streaming, accents and so on, I find no use only problem with it.
For group channel I prefer the console's own party channel, not the games. At least on PS4 there's a huge quality difference between the two, dunno why.
I'd be all for a text chat, would even get a console keyboard for it.Big fat Nord Dragon knight with a huge hammer. - Tank
