what should we expect as far as chatting goes? ps3 chatting takes a good little while to respond to someone i doubt ps4 will be any different.

so whats been confirmed i remember hearing some time ago there wouldnt be any chat...

i want to be able to talk to my high elf brethren...

Not about consoles, they have their own megasever thus they can have their own UI system (thus Consoles will not "mess up" the system for PC users :cool: )

All platforms will have a chat system attached to them. And if you hate that it takes forever to type with the controllers, then go out and buy a wireless keyboard and type that way then, but still play the game with the controller. Saves you all that hassle.

One little nice feature on the PS4 is an app you can download on your phone. You see your friends list, trophies (I think), and send messages. But a keyboard works too.

Yes, I have this app, but it won't help you when you are trying to communicate with people in the game who aren't your friends.

You should, it has an major impact on total sales, probably more than the other stuff people are nitpicking about.

Um, If I'm not misstaken, console users will have a server for them selfs, so I as a PC player, wont be playing and therefor not communicating with em either.

So I do not care how they communicate, or how good the game sales on console..

Correct me if I'm wrong m8 =)

Yes, separate servers, mainly because of chat but probably also controls.

Not sure why PS4 and Xbox One is on separate servers, might be that they need to communicate with MS and Sony networks.

The rumor that its to avoid getting two factions instead of three is false :)
