    The fact that they had to basicly reprogram ESO to make it work on console, and they still cant get it right, is a major reason.

    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    Yeah this thread won't last long. The OP is basically trying to spam the forums with his complaining about text chat.

    And you honestly think they monitor text chat as well? Anyone that gets in trouble for anything either does it when a mod or dev just happens to be present and see it but private messages? Group and guild chatting? No, the player is responsible for reporting such behavior more than anything. If someone is talking offensively it is your responsibility to report said player and then leave it up to whoever receives your complaint.

    I understand your concerns though because it is true voice chat is completely unfiltered but it is also still a work in progress.

    That's not the fauly of ZOS. That's Microsoft and Sony having to do QA on all content from third-party devs.

    Not having text hasnt diminished the hame on ps4, i run a guild and recruit via the forums. Had no issues with getting groups for vet dungeons. What text does is add a fast easy option to do stuff but there are work arounds if the effirt is there. I would have liked text chat however it dosnt make eso on ps/xbox bad.

    Which is exactly the sort of thinking everyone should adopt honestly. Can't expect to always be a happy camper if you're not willing to put in such effort.

    I play Eso on my PS4 every day since the release whenever I have time and I still enjoy it a lot. Didn't even touch PVP yet, no IC no Craglorn and still not finished Cad's Gold so I still have a lot to do and I am looking forward every day to return to Tamriel after work

    Still....controller on my couch dude...

    Native gamepad support comming Nov 4th on pc. Playing with gamepad is the only reason I paid the $20 for account copy, but as fun as playing with controller was, the moment I tried doing inventory or grouping I realized that ESO had messed up the consol version with no addons or text chat support.

    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    I made a post the other day about how hopefully black ops III would lure the crybabaies away.

    I was joking at the time.

    I just hope it actually happens now.

    This forum has been pathetic the last two days.

    Showed the true colours of a lot of the player base.

    Lol no.
    I agree this thread and 90% of the threads these last 2 days are pathetic beyond everything, but it doesn't reflect the player base. Hundreds of thousands of players are playing ESO, tens of thousands of them on a daily basis, and maybe 30 people post here on a regular basis.

    This behaviour shows the true colours of the people posting, not of the playerbase.

    Please close this thread, ZOS.

    If you don't wanna play, then quit and go be not constructive some place else. It is THAT easy.

    #1.1 It wasn't until a month ago that we got a search option for the Guild Stores.

    It has improved a lot since I first bought it in June. The reliability and performance has improved greatly.

    If I had text chat I really don't think I would use it. If it gets implemented, I hope it comes with a way to disable it. I don't want a wall of profanity scrolling down my 42" screen.

    I've played this long without any map, crafting, quest, banking, guild store, etc... addons. I don't need nor want them. We'll never see them on a console anyway.

    I would like to see crafting jewelry added. It seems like a hole in my crafting world.

    I would like to see a better trade system, something global without the need to join a Guild.

    I so want to love this game but Z makes that hard to do some....most times.

    Game is too easy..

    Kinda like "BabiesFirstMMO"

    Mostly because ZOS was trying to cater to the single player purest and also push the Elder Scrolls name into the realm of MMO's. In doing so it has forced ESO into an identity crisis. It wants to be a single player RPG, but still function as a challenging MMO that requires grouping.. That can be a VERY difficult thing for any development team to program around and juggle.

    Maybe in time it will get better...

    One very large step in the right direction to fix this was to cap CP. At least now the DEVs are able to program and adjust the game according to a controlled environment as far as stats go. Without a CP cap ZOS basically were trying to program around your standard player with Vet rank and a few CPs while also programing the same content for the grinders chasing the max CP dream.

    ESO lost a lot of players over the broken CP system..
    ESO is going to lose a lot of players over capping CP....

    I just hope that after the smoke clears in a few months the community rallies and ESO becomes the game we all wanted but have yet to see.
