    Imagine if they got rid of text chat due to console players?

    "Due to frequent comments from console players stating that it's unfair PC has text chat and consoles don't, we decided to replace the text chat on PC for voice chat, so everything should be equal across PC and consoles."
    Please vote in the console text chat thread so ZoS can see how many people want text chat

    ...and dueling in the dueling thread but personally I want text chat first...

    Is voice chat on consoles already being provided by Vivox? Second Life uses the same company for voice chat and they have implemented it a 1000 times better. Volume and mute controls for individual users, push to talk, easy group calling, and easy one to one calling. I think they also use a product from another company that gives voice chat 3D spatial sound as well.

    Options ZOS. Options.

    This would not surprise me in the slightest.

    After all, any time a skill is considered OP, it is nerfed or ruined. Others aren't buffed or replaced with something more effective.

    Ahhh, I was having a hard time thinking of good wording for this!

    But at least you get the point ;P

    As long as I can control the volume for each individual in my group I am all for this.

    Mr. Exremely-Loud gets put at 10% and Mr. Mic-not-near-mouth goes at 100%.

    Any updates re when we can expect the official gamepad UI to appear on the PC? Using a keyboard is really a pain (literally) for those of us with repetitive stress injuries.

    You can't even do this on the voice-only consoles. The voice integration is beyond idiotic in ESO; I've played shooters with better voice options.

    I suppose that works too, if one considers immersion to include hearing what is going on in the homes of other players. It doesn't exactly make me feel like I am in Tamriel. :p

    Damn if we get voice chat, my ignore list from 0 will become full in no time and I bet it won't be enough even. I'm looking forward to listen to random people in game talking bs and making weird noices.

    I wonder if anyone @ZOS (@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, @ZOS_JasonLeavey) knows the original source behind this article. It is most confusing, announcing something that already exists as though it's a new feature.

    I knew I had heard that they were thinking on it, but could not find the reference... now I find out I was the one who asked. :smile: Thanks for the link Riven


    Reddit

    Q: Are there any plans to add the console VOICE feature to the PC/Mac?

    A: zos_konk; It's definitely something we're looking to add to the PC/Mac version, but it won't be available until after console launch.

    It is worth noting that the Zos dev i.e. "Konk" is no longer with the franchise and also it was Nick who said Spellcrafting was being worked on. Also that article is 8 months old. That said, NO to P/C voice chat. We have Ts3, Mumble, Steam, etc. To add this to P/C is totally redundant..

    I better be able to turn this off on PC because this is the very reason I don't play on ps4. If zos really makes this feature just like xbox and ps4 versions then I'm done. There is a lot of things I can put up with in a mmo but having to hear the annoyance is my breaking point.

    Maybe the Vivox contract to use their tech on consoles includes a contractual clause that prohibits text chat being added to console?

    Maybe that's why we can't get a text channel as it would upset Vivox?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have edited it correctly, too bad I cant just delete it. Saying that though, others might read the MMORPG article and come here to find the truth so there is that...

    @Rivan12 Even though you can't delete the thread, if you want it to be closed, that is also an option. Just use the Report tool on the OP stating your reasons.

    If anyone can't be bothered to click through to Reddit, here's Jess's post:
    Hey folks, this is not a new development. It's simply Vivox officially announcing the fact that we use their technology in the console version of ESOTU (exactly what pearlpixel surmised.) This is not related to any new implementation in the PC/Mac versions of ESOTU or changes to the existing feature in the console versions.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom and @ZOS_RichLambert .. WAY more than a little. So much for these forums being the "official" means of communication.

    I dont want to have to join Reddit, Facebook, Tumbler, JobsorUS or anything else, just to keep track of what the company is saying.
