SoE strikes again.

Come on guys, these excuses are just sad, how often in PS1 did you come across a language barrier issue?

People playing on the US servers will most definitely be english speaking, otherwhise it would just be pointless.

You're speaking our language don't forget that.

The Europe server itself will have a whole range of languages so why should English speaking countries have to put up with that as well? I'm glad you only have yourself in mind.

Absolutely ridiculous.

If the issue can be solved by buying a US version of the game then so be it. However, if it doesn't then shame on you SOE.

That's my outfit ripped in half.

But what about US players with bad connection?

People can choose to "play" Planetside while running 10 torrents in the background and have a ping of 1500, but not someone with 100 because he is on the wrong side of the big pond? (Yes my example is silly but oh well)

We need clarification but this reads as bad... very bad for my outfit. We have officers from both the UK and US... we are a family. SOE is splitting up our family. This will NOT be okay with us.

I hope this is the case, but the FAQ currently states otherwise.

I know this is an extreme example, but it's the first that came to mind. If you get drunk at home alone, it doesn't affect anyone else. If you get drunk and go for a drive, you put other people's lives at risk.

Not to mention how drinking may affect your gameplay when you venture out on the virtual battlefield and are supposed to look after your teammates.

Seriously though,

I do get what you mean, but still in this case I could imagine the best way would be to strongly recommend players to play on their respective regional servers, aswell as inform what their impact on other people's gameplay could be if they do choose to neglect that recommendation.

But to set up a barrier between the NA and EU servers would, as stated before, shatter outfits and affect these people's gameplay. That is something that should not be taken lightly, in my opinion. Afterall, in a PvP-oriented game such as Planetside, I believe community is golden.

Sorry for slacky posting.

Poor US players will be closed out of the awesome tactical and organised fights that only EU residents could make happen! Werner >> any other server!!! Or we don't have to deal with their shitty ping and pocket loss and strange phrasing...

/irony mode off

Sounds stupid? Everyone sounds stupid that reasons along "high ping is killing the game and stupid language barrier"...

That's really all it is, too. Pings to America from Ukraine are about 120 to 140 ms, which is absolutely nothing. Pings are not the problem for first-world or second-world countries.

This also rips Delta Triad in half and that's just unacceptable.

DaddyTickles · 2012-02-21, 05:29 PM

SOE, Screwing Over Euros.

Meh. No surprise here. When Higby didn't come back earlier it could only be because he or someone higher up wanted to sit on the bad news.

I imagine the reason the US magazine got beta codes is now clear; only US players will get into BETA. We euros can look forward to getting a good tan over the coming summer, no PS2 for us until 2013.

If I weren't a gentleman I would probably end this post with Thanks Smed, you fat, bald shit.

Unleashed also. Let's stand together and UNITE!

CrystalViolet · 2012-02-21, 05:33 PM

Bad decision, and I can see this thread turning into a 50+ page shitstorm. If there was ever a good time for Smed to pop in and say something, now would be that time.
