    Just got out of a turn 5 DF with my SCH alt. Party cnosisted of some who spoke english, some french who didnt understand english and an Italian SCH who didn't understand English.

    So you can imagine how that went when trying to organise and communicate when half the pary didn't understand English. Yet they selected English in the DF "For the faster ques". Yet for content like turn 5. Even if you know the content, communication is key.

    Selecting English in DF for turn 5 may get you faster ques, it also gets you faster wipes and duty abandons also. So overall they lose.

    Have your seen the wait when English isn't selected? They want to actually access the content.

    If they can communicate in the languages they select, there is no issue. But going in blind on coil for example and getting partied with others who only speak english (I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and can get by in German and French) then communication becomes an issue. Take turn 5, if they have no idea what to do with divebombs, and unable to understand explanation in how to handle them, causing constant wipes to the same mechanic until the party either a) vote kicks the player or b) vote abandons.

    Now tell me, how much good did that do them then? It's unfair to the rest of the party in its selfishness.

    Now multiply that by having 3 -4 the same.

    Turn it around, say I don't understand any French, I join with F selected for something I never done before and going in blind as tank. The other 7 French have the fight on farm status, I enter, I pull I wipe the party. Party explains what I need to do, I ignore it because I don't understand what they are saying and continue to do the same thing that wiped the party the first time. After half n hour of this. No kills, no progression, no communication. And you think thats fine?

    That does happen and it is hella frustrating.
