Your thoughts on queuing in DF with languages you don't understand / speak.

[Kallera]

I've selected all languages for excalibur, but I've yet to be partied with a non english speaking party. :knocks on wood:

Lets be honest... Its not like you actually need to communicate in dungeons in the game.

But the problems occur when one person doesn't like the way another person is doing something and begins to tell them to do something differently. However, the person being told does not speak English and did not select "English" among the language options. Yet they are being spoken to in English.

Problems occur when people tell others to hang on a second, their phone is ringing, or whatever...

When the person who selected Japanese, but does not speak Japanese, is in the dungeon for the first time and knows none of the mechanics. People try to explain them, but the person doesn't understand.

In PvP, when someone suggests everyone go somewhere, but one or two people can't understand that language and run off on their own.

And this occurs in raids, trails, and dungeons.

Yes, there is a need to communicate.

I'm glad that it is not as much of a cultural thing as I thought then.
I remember playing WoW and I recall that most people said nothing when entering a party or dungeon together.

That's really sad. I played WoW for a month or two and decided it wasn't for me, so I can't comment at all on the raid culture there. I think most people have the attitude that they're never going to see the party again, so there's no need for formalities.

what i hear in majority all language parties:

1) "MT"

2) *silence*

3) "lol"

seems safe enough >_>

I queued all languages when I was on Chaos, as long as I knew the dungeon. Now I'm on aether, so it's generally only English speakers anyway. I don't mind people who queue for a language they don't speak - after all, there are some players that don't speak any of the game's languages, but still enjoy to play. Should they avoid DF?

I don't think this needs to be over-analysed like the OP is suggesting.

Of course not. Being polite is not limited to culture.
I say "Hello everyone" and "thanks for the run, have a good day" without even thinking about it. A lot of people I've encountered though have literally left the duty before I even finished typing goodbye xD
This is my experience on the Chaos datacentre at least.

I check everything because, as stated, most DF things require no communication, most DF things HAVE no communication, and 99.9% of the time (on Primal anyway) it's an English speaking party anyway if they speak at all.

Maybe for except the most difficult extreme/savage fights (which I don't do anyway), there are sufficient tools to communicate most basic strategies.

No, they shouldn't. But couldn't they try to learn how to use the auto-translate feature effectively or a couple necessary phrases for partying with people who speak a different language?

That's my daily life at JP data center!
