a feature to be able to make myself an exception out of this system or manually change the preffered language (just like LFG system but with all EU countries listed) and be placed on a map according to that.
A thousand times this!!
Not an exception though, just an option with a selection of megaserver languages so everyone can choose which one has to be accounted for.
I love international play, I love speaking english, and of course meeting and playing with people from all across Europe.
Same here, I always play on English servers to improve my English. I would be very upset if I couldn’t be anymore among English-speaking people only because I don’t live in England.
lock you up with people from the same region or country
From my understanding, it doesn’t do this. It does try to put you on a map with people who speak the same language. You can just set your language to English and it will put you on a map with English speakers instead.
I truly hope so but from Anet post it seems all automatic, no player selection taken into account, no chance to choose the language you want.
Quoting (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/continued-improvements-to-the-megaserver-system/):
“For now, we’ve decided not to entirely separate the different language communities onto unique map copies”
Anet, what do you mean by language communities?
Are you really going to segregate people by the country they live in?
Or will you just use the game option on text language (English/French/German) and take that one into account when forming maps?
An explanation is sorely needed imo.
