Character names on console.

IMHO character names should be visable not console ID/Tag.

Just like no txt chat I feel this is a huge mistake on ZOS's part that should be changed.

How do the rest of you feel about this?

    I agree. I could swear that the console beta had an option for that, too..

    Also pretty sure I suggested a toggle for it somewhere... If not someone else did but it was suggested.

    I love my character names but my gamer tag does not fit in the ESO world.

    Better than most of the same whining posts I see on here everday.

    And atleast I care about the game enough to give constuctive feedback/posts.

    Which is fine and all but you just get this feeling of meh when you see multiple threads all consist of the same topic as opposed to simply searching for an old one, but not too old mind you, and posting in it. 'Tis just how it is though lol

    Even if they can't get around having to display our Gamertag or PSN ID because of MS and Sony. Then let us use our character names as our titles.
    I want to change the world. I'm just to lazy to do it.

    Sadly, they're too busy fixing bugs and getting ready for Orsinium right now.

    What's funny is that when you craft an item it lists your character's name, not your account name. I crafted a set for a friend and he was like who is this?, since he never once saw my character name previously.

    Well on 11/2 on PC character names will not appear if using the game-pad due to the UI so...it now seems ZOS intends it as this way.

    I think many would like to see a character name on the screen if I look at someone but then grouping/guild...what do you do.

    Console beta did a mix n match so who knows

    Character names were absent in the console beta as well. It was one of the complaints, like the absent text chat. Just another example of certain people in charge thinking all console gamers are too "special" to handle much beyond just pressing a few buttons. No options for those that wanted a more advanced experience.

    Seeing two different names for people in game and on the console friends list must be too confusing I guess.

    I was watching the latest episode of ESO Live (10/23) and they mentioned during the Ask Us Anything segment that the ability to show character names instead of gamer tags is being worked on. We have to be patient though. It will be sometime after Orsinium.

    Pretty awesome. :)

    And I guess they really do listen.

    You know, sarcastic appreciation isn't really appreciation... Zenimax isn't perfect but it doesn't deserve nearly as much bashing as ya'll constantly throw at them.

    People already have trouble pronouncing Sean. I can't wait to hear them struggle with Kaushad Massitisun. And it's a good thing I don't play my first Nightblade anymore. His name is Yeherradad Shashmassamsi.

    Your names are no more intimidating than Scwartzinager or Massachusetts Sheauen.

    Probably not Sony...games like DCUO and FF:ARR show character names.

    Could be a consistency thing though....MS say gamer tags, so all consoles get gamer tags.
