Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m having a major issue. The language barrier is ruining my experience in this game, 80% of all the pugs I’m in hardly anyone speaks any English at all. Other than things like “invite” and “ty” when trying to explain a tactic or make a suggestion the party chat is completely silent as no one even understands me. I came here with 4 of my friends all from different parts of the Uk, Sweden, Germany and France and even those people have started to get frustrated.

I see you have made multiple specific language servers for the some of the most common languages but have not made English only servers which I find highly unfair.

I played Guild Wars 1 for 5 years and usually the Europe section was the home of most Germans, french and Spanish speaking players and allot of people from the Uk would join the Us in the Us part of the servers.

Now the option to freely move from different zones has been removed, It’s making it very difficult for us to form a group where everyone understands each other and things go smoothly with no frustration.

I’m asking you to please consider this for the near future. Thank you.

yeah that would be good there no dedicated uk server and i dont want it to be apart of the usa server

I don’t think so that it resolve problem, are too many immigrants in UK

Many of them speaking far better English than we natives!

I’m dutch, and thus european. But the language barrier with most europeans is one of the reasons i joined a north american server.

Another reason is that i enjoy north american gaming communities much more compared to european ones. Friendlier, more helpful and more social.

Are you on an EU server?
If so, I can see the grief somewhat, and could be easily done, but if you don’t mind it, you could always go to a NA server

Yeah I think going over to a NA server would be the better option for me, my only concern is the time difference. For what would be peak time for me could be dead for that server and have no way of transfering back and forth. And yes I’m on Aurora Glade at the moment this is the second time we’ve moved for the same reason. =/

I’m on Sanctum of Rall and i don’t consider the server to be dead at off times. And usually if i want to find a group for a dungeon or fractals i use gw2lfg.com.

I’ll discuss it with my friends about moving, Thanks for the suggestion bud.

I realise you’ll have to pay for it now but I’d recommend moving to Desolation.

It’s one of the unofficial UK servers (the other being Gandarra I think) and almost everyone speaks at least passable english. There’s at least one non-english speaking guild I see advertised in chat sometimes, but even then the members speak english as a second language.

I’m Dutch. When I first started MMO gaming, it was in a game without barriers between EU and US users, so I got to playing on a predominantly US server and joined an international guild. I’ve been playing on US servers ever since. I can assure you the time difference isn’t usually that much of a hassle, especially if you pick a server with a lot of people from Asia/Australia/NZ.

And yeah, the language thing…. I tried EU servers a few times, but they drive me nuts. At some times, there’s over a dozen languages in general chat. It makes it really hard to communicate, especially when people stubbornly refuse to talk English while playing, even when the server is designated as English language.
