Guild Wars 2

Shrilly.7184:

Not saying it shouldn’t happen but for someone saying its hard to communicate in game with English you sound more fluent than half of the English speaking populous.

Not all players in russian guilds know English that good to respond fast enough in it in critical situations. Not all of them are bad players cuz of this. Yes, we mostly stick to voice cooperation for that, but not everyone have mic. Someone can’t always turn it on – kid’s asleep, mom’s/gf’s/bf’s/whatever’s aggro, tech issues with mic – there may be many circumstances. Yes, most of us know some useful shortcuts for cooperation. Is it all of local community interaction possibilities we need? Nope.

Have you ever been in somewhat big guild or clan which is almost silent in /g chat? Like a guild of socially awkward penguins, you know. I am in such guild. I know most of ppl there as good players and awesome russian game bloggers. We are a somewhat closed community with a real need of unaggressive game and communication experience. Yet we have enough people and enough online to do at least not less than others. If we only could have cyrillic letters in /g chat – we would be happy. This little fix can give us a huge step up in our inner communication and interactions. We’ll have a possibility to fluidly chat in our guild with those who can’t always use voice apps and thay won’t remain almost silent.

I write in English fluid enough to spread my word. So is Norrel, and even though we’re complete strangers to each other I thought I could answer to your comment with some info you can find important. Though if you ask me to speak in voice then I’ll fail cuz of lack of voice practice, you’ll just hear some gibberish. Most of those who can’t write or speak English good enough struggle with transliteration which is harder and slower than just write in your own language.
