I have friends that are deaf so only having voice chat as an option is incredibly annoying. I guess ZOS didn't take a lecture in Accessibility in Game Design.

The main reason we need this on console is that the game economy is ridiculous without having a good means of communication for sales.

Haven't played Eso in over three months, probably longer than that. Thought i'd pop on here to see if anything had changed regarding the text chat and grouping on consoles. Obviously not, might as well delete this poor excuse for an mmo off my playstation, boggles my mind how bad this all is....

All this discussion and the ZOS won't respond?

They did respond in the chat panel of one of the ESO Live episodes around this time.
Its not on their radar and no new news. (This is not exactly what they said but its me paraphrasing)

Would be awfully cool if they would make a response to this giant thread.

...its always on ESO Live.
They can't reply to this thread cause there are literally hundreds of others...half locked and closed but also ESO Live is where they inform the community about future decisions, designs and new info so for anything you're looking for, make sure to catch the ESO Live episodes or watch those you've missed.

The Consoles Aren't designed for Typing. You'd Spend More Time Finding The Letter To Type Than You Would Actually Messaging.

...that's more of a user issue.

Exactly, you would think after 100's of threads they could reply to atleast one.

For example, they managed to find the time to comment on this thread.

"They can't reply to this thread cause there are literally hundreds of others"

Makes you wonder doesn't it? If there are this many threads and people saying the same thing... Maybe there is a reason for it?

And yes, they "can" reply to this thread, they just haven't.

75 pages and counting! Lol. I'd like to see how many pages we'd be up to if all text chat threads were consolidated into one

It doesn't make me wonder at all..we all heard ZOS' decisions and to be honest, all those threads have the same ppl in them. Just more of the same discussions that have been going on since April....its pretty pointless for forum discussions at this point. Just more of threads for points of reference to new players.

People still feel that if they complain or whine, they will get their way....sad but that's all this is. The internet is full of it

I vote yes, but I would like it if they kept it down to 30 characters or so. As a healer, in tough situations - folks tend to get loud on the voice chat and I simply need to say, "OOM".

Have you set up your radial text under quick chat.
"Low on Magicka"

Not enough radials especially in a game with no text chat. Even if we had more radial options it would be ineffective because of the limited space on the radial menu.

Where are these and why aren't they available? I could think of dozens more if I had the time.

Honest question....do you play the game

Most of those are on there
some aren't necessary due to others that exist and the later maybe...but if you didn't realize they were there....you're not using whats offered. People just talk....these are really offered to initiate voice coms when someone may have their off.

These are in the social menu...on xbox its really quick to access, start, x...pick

The same 700+ people each time? (looking at the votes here).

It's not pointless. I can tell you for sure that it is keeping some people from playing this game. Call it complaining to ask for a basic needed feature all you want. You seem to be doing an awful lot of complaining about people complaining yourself though.

Its pointless...people decided to buy a game that didn't offer features they claim are required for them to enjoy the game.

Whose fault is that? - the buyer

he same 700+ people....
its a forum so if a topic is labelled those who relate to it will respond to poll. Its lts say 1000 ppl out of 1 - 2 million console accounts. Mathematically is less than 2% and considering the solution lies on PC, its hardly preventing anyone from enjoying this game.

Now if someone cant afford a PC and is not willing to sale or part with their console, then that person or those people have the right to choose how they want to spend their entertainment dollars and time. They can even ask the dev to change but...the devs have responded.

So now its fine to discuss but to use the discussions as a basis to why ZOS needs to give those less than 2% what they want....that is a waste of those persons' time based on previous events and dev responses.

Why would anyone spend their free time complaining and trying to make a dev do what they want....the most powerful influence is money...stop buying stuff that isn't what you like. That will move mountains...not forums discussions.

Thats the best advice I can offer...vote with your wallet

It'll never happen. This game did a nose dive into a house full orphans when the powers that be decided it would be a grand idea to implement voice chat. I'm so happy ffxiv never did that.

For the same reason anyone would spend their free time relentlessly replying to any post that disagrees with them on text chat for the console versions of Elder Scrolls Online?

I'm informing people on what has been shared...
its also interesting how you and others perceive my points of view as having some direct impact on what desires you want the devs to offer. Notice the comments to the post above, they user was informed and found my comments helpful..

this type of stuff is nothing more than off topic arguing and can even fall into baiting another forum user. lets not do that

Just want to say i agree on her with this.

I completely disagree with her and she obvioisly does the same, i try to compromise though, and she does too.

She just brings points and facts or compromises etc, shes not the one insulting others because they have a different point of view and shes definitely not selfishly defending her no to be pure non text chat, as i said, she gives compromise for both parties.

You are basically saying the rest of us are suffering from some sort of mass hysteria. No. Public perception has been voiced and whether you like it or not public perception carries some weight. Whatever her motivations are is irrelevant. They come across as self serving, arrogant, and even down right trolling in some cases. If you hold her with high regard as you appear to it may be time for an intervention. Otherwise I suggest distancing yourself.

Lets not go back and forth and argue....its a forum poll and based on participation, less than 2% have polled. Considering this forum is PC, console which some may or may not be active its not public opinion but a small portion of the forum community opinion only.

I'm not trolling you nor anyone else, i'm trying to discuss things and where I can offer insight and help.
Your recent comments are baiting arguments which is more of a trolling tactic than anything.

If you want to discuss with or without me...that's cool but lets not go down this path.
It doesn't lead to anyone getting or hearing back from the devs regardless of which position you or I hold.
I ask that you respect my wishes not to argue
