No language tags for EUNA release confirmed by Roxx!
They should just create some langage channels on the servers. /fr /es /hu /da and so on. Would fix alot of problem.
What I understand from this post is that they do not have the means of merging servers or transferring characters from one server to another or at the very least it’s a tedious problem for them.
So they don’t wanna make a German only server or French only server because if they do and the server becomes inactive for some reason(simply just not enough players), well now that fucks over the people in that server and nobody is gonna join that server now because it’s tagged as DE. It’s gonna create a weird dynamic where couple servers are absolute max and the other are low to med pop. And not only that there is no way of redirecting people into that low-med pop server because it’s a DE only server. So you have a problem of where an already maxed out server having high influx of players while a low pop server having low influx of players. Absolutely opposite of what you want.
This can be easily seen in WoW too, where most tagged servers have 25K to 75K pop, most global or EN servers have a ranging pop from 150K to 225K. Now this isn’t a problem in WoW because they have hundreds of servers and you can easily transfer character/guild and not only that they can merge servers very easily.
I’m guessing people will be like “okay but in the end it doesn’t really effect anything since everything is cross-server.”. Well, it effects GvG. Strength of your guild is simply based on the amount of people that are available to you.
Ah “no current server transfer features”
Looks like we just gotta queue 30k on Azena then
People got so burnt from New World to the point that they are paranoidic
Might be unpopular opinion but I don’t think language-designated servers are a good idea. For the largest communities (Spanish notably?), imagine if because of server overload or because you don’t start the game at launch, you have to join a server with another main language. Not only you wouldn’t interact with the community with your preferred language, but even English might not be an option, thus ruining your experience.
Wait so how exactly do I find out which server English speaking people will be playing on then?
I prefer no language tags over release issues 12515x times.
that’s ok for me. Not another new world release please. Make it smooth.
That they didn’t think of this before it was highlighted by the community shows how immature AGS is in the gaming world.
Whilst we may not agree with decisions made by AGS they nevertheless seem consistent in decision making so far in regards to launch - just have a stable launch and get people playing. Hopefully, choosing to address these issues later down the line.
However, it seems there are quite a lot of NA people in these threads that underestimate the difficulties in being paired on the same server with people who do not share a common language. It’s frustrating in games that require even an inch of teamwork/coorperation being paired with player who refuse/can’t speak any English. You may argue you should try to speak their language which is a reasonable point. However, due to the variety of languages in EU that would also require proficient knowledge of atleast 5 different languages, which is slightly less reasonable. It’s possibly one of the biggest downsides to playing on EU, this is why MMO’s almost always have language assigned servers. The fact that this was not implemented from day 1 of server considerations is quite frankly a big oversight and will lead to many non-english speakers being alienated in a server with little people that speak their language.
“We are not unable”
Lmao don’t fool me Amazon
Poor Roxx having to deal with all these whiners complaining about this when most of the things you do in Lost Ark are not even server locked…
Even if AGS decided to comply and add prefered languages ppl would still be complaining like:
“why is [insert server name] tagged with [insert community or language A] this server should be linked to [insert community or language B]. Well done amazon you done fucked it up again at this point not changing anything would have been better”
-_-
This is just bad and embarrassing from AGS…
Chat will just be convoluted with different languages and normal players wont see this unofficial server list
Lost Ark will be available in English, Spanish, French and German at launch.
What’s the point of this if the servers arent tagged by language, you expect that people playing the game in their language would understand the other languages version of the abilities, currencies, locations and more in the chat?
You cannot ask the people that are playing the game translated into their language to change everything to other language in order to chat.
Just another AGS special, there is no company ever that would think that this makes any sense.
There are like 200 german players out of 50000 that’s going to participate.
That’s like 0,4% of them.
And based of that we want to make a choice on the server ? good luck !
Loads of people seems to be oblivious to the fact that English isn’t the primary language in all of EU. In fact, it’s the second or even third language in all countries now that the UK left.
While I don’t want to assume, I feel like most of the complaints of “why does it matter?” comes from NA players rather than EU players. EU (almost) always have language tags for this reason. It’s expected and have been for over a decade. It’s such a draconic decision from AGS to just… not implement it.
Alas, at this point I’m almost willing to bet that AGS will manage to fuck up Lost Ark way worse than like Trion, Nexon or another publisher. Like holy shit.
Real talk. Where do UK people go??
Wasn’t Kadan the big english international server?
What server are UK players going to play? Just curious which one to choose, Cheers.
