That cheap P.O.S. usually breaks within the first ten hours of use...it did for me.
They really only even put it into the box to "get you hooked" on voice-chatting with people....and then to sell their $100 version, Sony Gold Headset. (Though I got my Sony-Gold for just $50, on sale.)EQUALIZE ALL PLATFORMS!
IF ONE HAS IT...ALL SHOULD HAVE IT!!

I don't care what platform it is on...an MMORPG without Text Chat is NOT an MMORPG!2 -
Stalwart385✭✭✭✭YesI voted yes, but at minimum I think they should at least let you pre-type phrases then link them to emotes. I saw they already have phrases like, "kill the adds" that you can hot key. They should let you customizes those phrases so you could type "VR14 Tank LF Pledges" or "WTB Bugloss".2

Neirymn✭✭✭✭YesVoice chat only is good when you play alone at night. I just can't use it when others are sleeping the room next to mine, with text chat I'd be able to communicate in this example.0 -
VoidBlue✭✭✭✭Yestext chat would be amazing. i'd actually be able to DO Craglorn if I was able to text chat LFG2

Zensonar✭✭✭YesESO is not a FPS where you only really need to communicate with a fireteam or clan, and where voice is sufficient. It's an open world multiplayer roleplaying game. It has entirely different communication requirements in order for its basic defining features to be used to their full potential.1

✭NoI am really starting to like the voice option all around, There is already a PC for Text chatting. Not sure why it has to be on the Console. However, adding it as an option I guess is fine. Though I believe you will see a quick divide in communication with people choosing not to partake in voice or text.
Something to consider would be a tag by the name that stated if the person was voice only or text only, or both so you are not spending 20 min trying to get someones attention that has the text option off or minimized. I will more than likely always have it minimized. I have learned to use voice so it is not needed.
I have gotten use to not having to type all the time and I really like it. Voice is so much easier , just need a way to whisper with voice and a few other things.XBOX NA

really like your idea of having a way to tell if someone is using voice or text. Right now however if someone is not using voice or is in a different channels you have to send them an xbox live message or PSN message. So you are not really making things more difficult getting a hold of someone.0 -

i dont see the problem. if someone wants to use voice so what, they can talk all they want while i reply to them via text. i use to do this all the time when i played WoW. everyone was on teamspeak, chatting it up for raids while i text'd in the text chat. made no big difference except it was funny when they asked me stuff via TS and everyone in guild didnt know what they asked and it was just me randomly typing responses confusing everyone and it was a jolly good time.
text chat is good, lets have text chat for every one can communicate voice or text and it will be meshed together like a happy family

Insulting. DCUO and FFXIV prove you wrong anyway..... 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.3 -

Steel_Brightblade✭✭✭✭NoMines a no, vice chat works really well, try joining a decent guild where people talk and all your problems are solved. If they do add text chat I hope it will be optional to switch it off, I don't want junk all over my screen.1

✭✭✭✭✭NoNo two different goals. IC as DLC has nothing to do with a communication feature to be added as this DLC only extends PvP interests-PC (PTS)/Xbox One: NewBlacksmurf

you do know pretty much all text chat boxes in MMOs are closeable to where its just a tiny icon on the bottom of the screen or are extremely transparent to where you cant even see it and doesnt block any gameplay unless you click or highlight the text chat box.

✭NoAs a PC player, all I see is some people swapping to a keyboard and the majority trying to type on joystick keyboard. And then I laugh because I am on PC and have no worry about that.0 -

Zone chat should be text only though, can you imagine zone-wide voice chat?
Anyways, I feel as though I NEED text chat when finding a group for dungeons. None of my IRL friends have this game and I only join guilds if the other people in the guild are easy to get along with and are reliable enough to be there when I need them. So far, nobody I've met fulfils those requirements, so no guild for me.
Without text chat, ALL group content is a nightmare for me. It would be so helpful if we had it.
Voice chat in zone is a must for console player. You guys should get it imo0 -

thats one thing id rather not have is hearing everyone everywhere in that zone talking at once about anything and everything. text chat they can do that on because i can just minimize the chat box or ignore it completely voice chat id have to disable all the time than instead of when in a major city.4 -
Hope499✭✭✭✭YesWould be nice to have, as area is chat is either:
-Child screaming/singing into mic
-Horrible music being blasted
-Degenerate idiots trying to harass any female they hear or tossing the N bomb non stop in a horribly racist way.

Voice chat only works well if you can physically use it. For people with hearing impairments or speach impairments voip is completely useless. And there is no other form of communication for people unable to use voip.2 -
OzJohnD✭✭✭✭You know this will never happen don't you ?
... and I would love to have Voice Chat toggled OFF instead of every time I rezone, having to go Social > Voice chat and turn things off again.
btw ... voice chat in 4 man PUG dungeons is helpful.Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater - how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe - and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides...that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood.

Everyone does own a mic, you get it with a ps4.
Yeah that little cheap piece of plastic? Thats barely a mic. And mics arent an excuse to remove a core social/communicative function from a game that is supposed to be a AAA MMO.
The other thread has brought up numerous reasons why Text Chat can be more advantagous over Mics in different situations.Penniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax4 -

Why should people drive cars? There's already a train for that!
Why use a fork? There are chopsticks for that!
Why drink out of a bottle? There's a glass for that!

Olympios✭YesI often play when my 5yr old is asleep, so I really need text chat in order to communicate, I would really appreciate if text chat will be possible in the future.4

NadiusMaximus✭✭✭✭✭NoYou guys knew there was no text chat. You still bought the game instead of not buying it and letting ZOS know why.
You guys had a chance to be heard, but bought into the soon™.
YES you need it. It should be implemented asap. Although, not at this time as it would push back an already year late expansion even further. So, no. Not right now. Sorry but soon™ actually applies in this case. God, I feel dirty for saying that.1
