Let's Talk: EN players in JP data centre

[Juun]

Wait, wait.. wait have I entered the scary door again? Have I phased into other reality?

JP and NA datacenters are nothing alike from my experiences.

People on NA do not wait during hunt trains or fates (especially Odin). I can count on single hand the number of times someone actually waited.

I was told to get a faster PC because hunt targets were not loading in and the area was too congested for telewarps. This is engine issue not PC issue.. This was my second and last hunt train I participated in. Both were a mild disaster I do not wish to relive.

I had seen as have friends someone pull while sprouts are watching cutscenes. Heck! I just made several posts about this and there is one entire thread defending pulling during cutscenes right here on NA forums.

Clearing Savage with duty finder? That is a forlorn concept here yet is quite common on JP. It is actually used for farming. You can barely get a farming party that can clear on NA. Ferro had a huuuuuge rant about this recently.

Hardly anyone greets here. Many times I am eating food and still loading in and our silent tank bolts off without a word or their stance. No one says anything even when we do speak in the chat.

I am on Primal (NA) and see behavior that JP would consider very rude on regular basis.

You can read the JP forums if you understand the language for perspective, or Google translate though it is not very accurate. Compare ours to theirs.. It is easy to understand why someone stuck in NA may wish to play in JP even if they are English speaking.

B tank tanks, here on NA it is every tank tanks or does not tank then spin spin spin goes the boss. Especially World of Darkness, tanks love spinning the big doooom eyeball, I am unsure why.

You have a complete opposite experience then me and Im on Primal.. My first hunt I joined I was told to wait and so we did. My friend even told me never to pull otherwise you get blacklisted.

Always get in Dungeons where we just wait for everyone to finish a cutscene. Tho a few odd one outs were in Alliance raids where one person likes to troll pull.

I always get greetings when joining content not a hallo (tab) to translate but just a greeting of any form of slang.

And lastely ever since I started to level my healer I was wondering why always, always its my teams tank thats the main tank. But because of this thread I realized its because I have always been in team B when I have healed.

Stuffs

I see and read these things but it is not what I experience and am uncertain why.

Though it was not always this bad, twas much of the better when I first joined. I steadily convinced family members and friends to try playing FF14 and we are now a small group of almost twenty.

Many of this group have had similar bad experiences in sequence. I do not think I have ever once seen alliance B tank exclusively.

Can we phase into your reality please? I feel like we are playing a different game..

One of the last experiences friends had was being killed out of their cutscene in Toto because the tank pulled. No hello, no aoe as tank just silence then gg at the end.

I have not done the hunt train since but one of my first experiences with it involved a sassy lala telling everyone "you have to catch the football" because waiting two minutes was too long. Then something about "fake news". The two I joined were all early pulls and you had to hope you got there before the mob was dead. Maybe I need to join more? I do not exactly wish to.
