As I sit in yet another 5 minute load screen, I think to myself about how awesome it would be if I could let my bg team know they are getting hosed by my loadscreen misfortune. @ZOS_GinaBruno are you able to tell me why this isn't a thing? Does anyone know if an addon would be able to offer this function?

Also, poll time! Do you want this feature?

    More players might be apt to post useless phrases and paragraphs ... when fighting the infinite load screen boss.

    Considering I spend a good bit of my ESO time swapping between characters, I'd love for the chat to be available from the character selection screen as well.

    Would be funny if loading screens got their own channel, so it's a global chat perpetually filled with pissed off people. :tongue:
    Really we do it without like, the musical instruments. This is the only musical: the mouth. And hopefully the brain attached to the mouth. Right? The brain, more important than the mouth, is the brain. The brain is much more important.

    No, I’d be happy with the ability to cancel a load screen (ie cancel going through that door/ wayshrine jump I just selected)
    Everything will be alright in the end, if its not alright its not the end.

    no, because tech isn't there. Never seen mmo have chat box visible during a loading screen.

    I would like option to turn off fading, and set up chat tabs, so i can hide zone chat if i wish.

    I would prefer an option to permanently disable it. I leave it turned off but occasionally I will accidentally restart it and have to go in and shut it off again. NEVER having to see it again would be awesome.

    The loading screens take long enough, having chat enabled would extend it surely?

    At least a limited version with access to guild chats would be nice from character select. As is, when I'm jumping between characters, I tend to lose track of guild conversations. Being able to see it on load screens would also be really nice, though I kinda suspect the chat's backend doesn't really support either.

    Also when you getting kicked out of game. If voice chat still works, why can't regular chat work?

    In the case of PS4 you can fix the problem by joining a Party rather than the in-game chat.
    "Yesterday while searching a barrel in vVoM I found a lemon. Best drop of the whole run."

    Protect the weak. Heal the sick.
    Treasure the gifts of friendship. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love.
    Honor the Earth, its creatures, and the spirits. Use Nature's gifts wisely. Respect her power. Fear her fury.

    So you don't want it because you've never seen it implemented in another game; sound logic.

    As nice as it would be to be able to chat, it would just be more for the game to load. Probably make your unusually long load time even longer :p

    Very much doubt this is something they CAN do... and certainly it's unlikely that they WOULD do it even if they could.
