Well cool lol nvm looks like im just getting a different game. Sad

There's a pretty good amount on PS4 I always find people to play with

I made the move from PC to PS4 and I'm glad I did. I've met a lot of cool players on there.

Is the ps4 community pretty steady? I don't want to get the game just to have it die off in a few months.

40 people in proximity chat, is this pretty constant or only in certain areas like cyrodill ?

Thanks again guys, forums seem popping.

Hey guys,

I played ESO when it first came out and loved it! However my computer crapped out on me. I'm thinking of making the switch to PS4 so I can play again... My questions are:

I had the imperial edition, will this transfer too? I never made an imperial but I might later.
Are there a lot of people playing this game on ps4? I'm not looking for numbers, just a general lack of players or populated towns. I really don't want to join a ghost town, I really enjoyed the pvp.


Thank you!

You cant transfer characters anymore. There are a decent amount of people playing but its difficult getting a group together. Communication is limited to proximity voice chat. And guild chat.

I suggest not switching over, but if you really like the game and feel like playing solo most of the time, then get the game. But if you are wanting to experience this mmo as a.... mmo, you wont.

To add, in ps4 is it easy to find a group for dungeons and instances?

You need to be aware that there is no text chat on console like on PC. Looking for a group to play with can be real interesting. So your grouping options are :

Group tool-
The group tool is pretty much a broken POS. The wait is anywhere from 10 minutes to 2 hours, and sometimes indefinitely. When you do get in a group of might not be full so then the everyone will leaves and the wait starts over. People abuse it by queuing for the wrong class. Basically very few people use it now because of its problems.

Guilds-
If you choose your guilds wisely you can hopefully get into a couple good PVE guilds. Then you have to check all 5 chat channels to see if anyone is on. If you find anyone you can beg them to help you but most likely they have taken steps to mute the channel because no one wants to hear some other dudes music, kids, or mom yelling at them.

Area chat-
This is a real commical feature. Great idea in a perfect world but total garbage with the morons that can't figure out how to mute their cheap mics. Here is what you can expect.

Here are 3 videos I recorded in one day, all 3 times I was just coming into town to do some crafting stuff.

I recorded these on my phone so the camera angles arent the best, but the audio is clear.

Bottom line, make sure you know some people before buying this for console or its going to be lonely. Even more lonely in the next few months as new games come out, more people jump ship because they cant experience the game due to lack of propper grouping tools (like text chat), and even the guilds become empty.

Ok console sounds gross... I'll wait until I get my new CPU and not spend money. Thanks for all the help!

Is it still easy to find dungeon groups on CPU?
