UPDATE EDIT
https://reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/3m4mil/news_voice_chat_for_esoall_platforms/cvd4wu7

This was Jessica Folsom's response to my thread on Reddit. As many of you speculated this "news" was actually no news at all. I am sorry for the confusion guys. Was never my intention to spread false news. Spreading false news is bad, M'KAY.



OP I was mislead and shared false news
New voice chat coming to all ESO platforms...sounds good to me. Was a bit surprised I could find no mention of it on front page of the official or Reddit forums so posted to both forums.

The News prnewswire.com/news-releases/vivox-announces-collaboration-with-zenimax-online-studios-300147584.html

MMORPG Posting mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/loadNews/36439/One-Ringy-Dingy-Vivox-Brings-Voice-Chat-Tech-to-ESO

Sounds like a much demanded feature for Consoles is coming very soon, and as bonus, also for PC.

*sorry if I missed earlier posting*

    Uh PC players have team speak but build in TS would be nice would have to go through all the TS BS of finding the channel or even renting one. But the thing is console players already have voice chat its text chat they want.

    Sounds like a nice feature for PC is coming very soon and maybe improvements on the Console voice chat.

    Hey it's not our fault ZOS messed you guys up.
    A lot of us have been behind you and supporting your efforts to get text chat because we know how tough it's got to be without it.

    I'll try not to let someone like you get in the way of that, tho.

    It was quite clearly a joke, I wouldn't want that on anyone but I wouldn't put it past them.

    I'm hoping they allow transfers from console to the PC. Was a huge mistake starting on console.

    Do they have an option to auto mute when you walk into taverns? I turned off the emote channel months ago.

    PC gamer s already have reliable systems for voice comms we don't need yet another dysfunctional system that will take a year to fix in the game.

    Have I missed something?

    "We are excited to incorporate voice chat into the console versions of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, enabling players to easily connect with one another," said Matt Firor, game director, ZeniMax Online Studios.

    Last I checked, voice chat was integrated into console versions of ESO at launch....

    How about a whole OUTSIDE game? Or we could just go outside and play the IRL MMO. Which is what I have been doing more and more often now instead of signing in.

    Ok, they are working on multiple things content/bugs/patches/store all at once see little harm in adding this.

    LoTRO had/has this feature in their MMO, works like a charm, and most everyone uses it. TS and Vent are still used in LoTRO but mostly as a friend chat zone, grouping chats are mostly handled in game as everyone has access and no PW required or channels needing to be set up.

    I wanted to highlight that part. It's a great group n go feature. Makes things flow so much better.

    I am in three guilds that use two different voice chat programs. I cannot switch between guilds without going out and fiddling around with software. I had another guild that used a different voice chat program, but I could never get it to work reliably. I have no fewer than four of them installed for various games. I would welcome not having to fiddle with external programs, if a built in one could replace it.

    Well I am looking forward to this for PC. But only if done RIGHT. In other words, have options to enable it for only your group or locally or guild, at least.

    I noticed that too... the articles say that vivox announced the partnership, and that it would be cross platform, but the quote of zenimax says that its for consoles, and... dont they already have it?

    Im confused. I think ill just wait until there is an official zenimax news update to really speculate anything.

    I bet they remove text chat from PC to standardize the UI across all platforms. I wonder if it cost a lot of $$$ to keep a text chat server running and that's why newer MMO's don't have text chant anymore?

    The first article only mentions consoles. The MMORPG article mentions PC, but uses the same quote which only mentions consoles. Nothing in either article actually suggests a PC voice chat any time soon, although, IMHO, if it happens, it will probably happen when the 64 bit client comes out anyway.

    In other words, the only actual news here is that they made public the partnership with Vivox for the voice chat on the console.
