    If you don't delete the link Mods will lock the thread.

    They have done it a couple of times already.


    Good Luck! :)

    Why? Instead actually communicating with their customers, the mods do nothing but ban and delete relevant content? Yea...good luck in the long run with that approach.

    2 reasons why ZOS will close this thread just like they have the other 2 threads on this that I've seen (they won't delete it though - they haven't deleted the others):
    1. It's advertising a non-ZOS product, so it's not allowed on that basis
    2. ZOS likes to keep discussion on any given topic consolidated in one place as much as possible, and if they see a duplicate thread on the same topic (in this case adding text chat support to consoles) they'll close it and direct people in the thread to post in the other thread instead

    Yeah...but yet there are literally hundreds of "champion point" threads that the Mods don't treat like textchat threads.

    Care to explain that, ZOS?


    Editted: To clarify.

    How would I explain that? I'm not a mod - all I did was give the reasons that the mods gave for closing the other threads on this exact topic that popped up today...

    Sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like you should have to explain it.
    I would just like somebody to explain why this one topic is only allowed one thread, and other topics can have ten on the front page at any one time.

    Again, sorry for making it seem I was "pointing" at you.

    Seems ridiculous to me. Why can't you just type with the on screen pad? You don't even need to type that often, so why get a keyboard for my controller? And it also seems to plug into the same spot as the mic.

    You haven't used the 360 version of this before? It's superior to thumbing around with the onscreen keyboard and it allows you to not have the screen covered with a onscreen keyboard while playing a MMO.

    Also in response to another post here....there isn't a chatpad that WORKS properly for Xbox One. Those one Amazon are junk that require you to plugin a USB single into the Xbox One in order for Xbox One to recognize it as a 'keyboard'. It then also covers the port on the Xbox One controller where you would plug in a mic. Completely useless.

    This one coming out from MS allows you to still plug in a mic.

    from 'trying' to watch the chat on Neverwinter (X1) .. even that would be no use unless you can type really fast and are close to your tv

    Lets see, 50' tv, 10 ft away

    Now try reading the chat and typing .. then notice how fast the chat is being spammed to sell x,y,z
    ZoS please understand everyone thinks and pronounces things differently, so please add to your 'rules' that things get removed if the Mod doesn't actually quite understand phrasing

    You never played a real MMO? Filter you text channels to see what you want. Eliminate the spam.

    Nope, ofcourse i never played UO, EQ, EQ2, EQmac, AO yadda yadda yadda

    I'm well aware you can filter on the pc and get mods to help more

    How much help with filters do you think ZoS will supply on the consoles? And how fast do you think ppl will find a way around such filters?

    Even though it's not "official" PS4 has similar chatpads
