sadly i couldn't take the horrible state of the console chat system of only using voice so i switch to PC since i found out controller UI was being work on for it. its really bad that i was enjoying it til every day going into town was a nightmare, people swearing, making R ape jokes,screaming into their open mic or just blasting music to block out anyone trying to talk.

Did you happen to be at the blacksmith in daggerfall last night? Perfect example of what you just said. There was a "naked men dance party" going on and they were all up on the smithing tables doing push ups on each other and blasting boy George songs. The stuff they were saying in voice chat would have been horribly offensive for most people but I'm so desensitized to our modern society I don't even care anymore. Lol

Wasnt there but I think I ran onto that group before, learned some jokes from them that were guaranteed to offend almost everyone.. But being rather desensitized myself, I just ignored it and got out of there as soon as I could.
However, I had left Xbox ESO sometime ago as I found the lack of ability to do things that are so easily done on PC theyre taken for granted, but left out of the console version due to lack of text chat, to be rather frustrating.
But the other day I had to go back onto Xbox, as my PC characters all had a skill reset, and since they were copied to Xbox, figured I could maybe refresh my memory there.
In Davons Watch, there was a kid there that even the most desensitized of us just couldnt ignore. He just continuously screamed non-stop into the mic as he ran back and forth, with no signs of quitting. Im not talking about ranting, there were no words involved, just screaming.
To the frustration of many, he could not be muted in normal way of bring up his gamer card from list of people in area chat. It just came up with gamer card not available.
Someone suggested (after a few attempts since he had to try to out-scream the screamer) that if we could click on him to bring up the menu, we maybe could get a gamer card to come up from there.
But I suspect the screamer was onto us, which is probably why he was running in circles like that, and if anyone came near him he would quickly dodge out of their way. I gave up, just finished noting my skills and left, back to PC where one may run into such an idiot (though not as often as on console it seems) but at least they are quiet about it and much easier to ignore

nah i was on EB side in davon watch & it sounds just like what i see every damn day, it really bad that it happen in the first major city in the game too. if that isn't a good enough reason for text box then the other reasons that people have show to be valid aren't going to sway either like those whom are deaf & can't hear, i still haven't see one person give a good reason to that then just a troll reply of they can play on PC which is the same answer for everything.

i know you pain so much, i did the same as you i am now on PC & just glad to not have to deal with it, i mean i waited for console release since at the time no controller support was going to come to PC but now knowing support will come & alot of the community has made decent controller add ons its been a gift from Azura

I'm going to quit because there's no text chat. Sad face

How many votes are needed before they listen to us? How many actual votes before an over 80% majority gets what they should have been given in the first place?

And another thing, I wish these wise all knowing devs would actually try to play the game, on console, from scratch, alone and without chat buddies - like most people start.. and imagine themselves as a noob to the game, and just see how inaccessible communication is. Inaccessible, awkward, futile.

Been playing for over a week now with virtually no communication with other players still. No interaction, I just watch them run through my world like the player visions in Dark Souls.

Occasionally someone will stop for a few moments nearby, we stand around awkwardly looking at each other for a minute until one of us leaves, because effectively, in this world, most people are mute.

The more I think about it, the more disgraceful this situation seems.

If consoles diddn't support usb keyboards then this leaving out the chatbox would make some sense, but we know these keyboards work fine on our machines and they're dirt cheap.

If this was some kind of brave experiment... kudos for trying, really.. but it has failed, time to address that.

Final point, I wonder how pc users would feel if their game had no chatbox and their only form of communication was voice chat, I wonder how many would welcome that, some would for sure, but the majority would puke.

This is what makes me mad..we dont need Keyboards....you type your mails just fine with your controller..the keyboard would be just optional..

And yes the silence from the devs is nuts..they just keep on even in there live stream pretending this is only on pc now

I got by just fine without a keyboard on my ps4 with the other MMOs that I played. Just like typing on a real keyboard, you need practice... Btw, we don't need text chat in the middle of a dungeon run, that's what mica are for. We need text chat for LFG and trade functions

Impossible.

We've been told by the "experts" , all three of them , (chuckle) that without a keyboard typing can't be done , and even with a keyboard it still can't
be done.

You must be confused.

Let us face it...we all knew it would NOT come with the IC.

Its amusing zos says people who are enjoying the game don't post on the forums and everything is fine making this feedback irrelevant.

Then you look at the ps4 achievments and see 10% of people made it to level 50. People who don't like a game just move on. When 80% of an MMOs playerbase quits within the first few months everything is not fine.

Everyone I know who quits primary complaint was lack of text.

I do think the guy who created this thread said he would change the title when IC hits. I don't know why he does not just change it now, but everyone who post or follows this thread know this is more about text coming to the game at some point not when IC hits. I just hope the creator of this thread still logs on and follows this thread.

The creator of the thread probably isn't even playing the game anymore.

Are you still around, @sirhctpac ?

I have reported a certain posters troll baiting comments. It is obvious that he has nothing positive or constructive to add to this post and hopefully zos will deal with his constant trolling and derailment.

We should ignore the trolls and continue to bump this thread to bring more awareness and support for the dire need of text chat.
