this “feature” seems to be hastly implemented and not really thinked trough well.
as many ppl i know playing on a germen tagged server, i use the client in english because of silly voiceacting, stupid translations etc etc.
now im no longer able to communicate with other german players using the client in german. and this is a mess. especially by making this filter activated by default.
but the whole thing making this system controlled by the client language is absolutely wrong.
the whole thing is not really working into a building communities way, its now a isolate players from each others thing.
in my opinion the simplest solution would be to let the ppl use language based map chats, at least for the supported languages. so they can decide if they wanna stick to their language or go international. OR make the megaservers work as intended so that ppl speaking the same language (choosed on the server they play on) are merged together and not simply everyone.
also, i dont want to change my clients language for the named reasons, the german voiceacting is utterly poor and many translations are really really bad. i just like to play the game as is was made originally.
