Let's Talk: EN players in JP data centre

[Kuroka]

Those who live in Oceanic region might. They generally fall under EU region but has lower ping in the JP datacenters, that's why they are getting their own datacenter soon.




Maybe on Shiva. On Zodiark we see shouts all the time and fc recruitment on the frequent (not to mention the RMT say and shouts).
The rest I have nothing to object, it all true that i suppose EU is more friendly and non egotistical than some larger groups in NA.

Shiva as well, that and the spam around the teleport, 5 Bards playing at once etc... its why im only there as long as i have to lol

When you like Japanese and you learn the language, you have to practice it and video games are a method like any other, why does it shock you?

And then, if we have to wonder every time if people will like it, we might as well do nothing and stay with regrets.

[Nethereal]

Yeah, cause playing on a japanese datacenter is something NA players really want right?

You seriously think NA players or EU players will transfer to a JP datacenter? xD I don't think so and if so then just with world visits to look at it for a bit but they said already JP will be off the table for datacenter travel from EU and NA.

So dunno what the panic is about. I think NA has the biggest influx of new players and everyone wants to be there now to play with Asmongold etc. The only reason i could think of why NA players would go to Elemental would be to escape the streamers as a sort of digital refugees.

Grass is always greener on the other side. Aether is a shit hole imo, better than crystal though, been there done that.

On Tonberry and it's very quiet overall, albeit for a while Tonberry was kinda the unofficial Oceania server, so there's a fair mix of languages despite it being in the J-data center.

As for me, I rarely get RMT tells. Like it's been probably a year. And I seldom see /yell or /shout spam outside of events going on. It's mostly quiet outside of the obvious hub areas, and even then it's mostly /says.

The big thing is Tonn is almost always locked for new characters, so I guess any RMT sellers are quickly reported/booted and it takes a while for them to actually get a new character back in.

As someone who started on Tonberry, just be courteous and flexible and you're fine.
Also, embrace macros <3

Only things that sound different are the shout chat thing, which is hard to imagine. The alliance B thing, which has been common knowledge for years. The {Doma Castle} play on words thing. And the thank yous to the teleporters/hunt leaders.

3 wipes to disband is something I've seen in PFs a lot here, too. I think most NA players look down on it though, as a sign of impatience. I know I do, as I've had tons of farm parties that wiped three times, but then went on to clear on later pulls, and after the first clear, whether it was supposed to be a farm or not, went on to farm consistently for several hours.

Nice vid though. Saphyra has a nice friendly voice

To be fair there are differences. When i played for a year on NA it was a little culture shock for me. Like in Eureka players pulled Notorious Monsters on sight, not waiting a single second for all the players on the way. That's something you would be flamed for on EU. Also look at the NA hub chat. It's full of shout chat trolls mostly. EU is really really quiet same as JP.

For Eureka, we'd get a few calls to wait back when it was current content, and we would for the most part. But we'd also let people know "Hey, we're going to try spawning this" and often got a large train to go with us to do so. I'm not sure how it is these days, but back when it was current content, we'd try not to pull things like what you mentioned. Though about the shout chat, people in NA tend to try to say things to deal with the quiet and boredom usually in the maps. You'll get trolls in some maps, people reminiscing in others, and just idle chit chat in general.

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.

From my experience with JP datacenter, main differences are:

- You usually do not do big pulls in dungeons
- There is usually only one accepted strat for each fight, that you need to be aware of. It will almost never change.
- People have better macros
- For loot PF, you sometimes need to request a weapon before joining
- Groups will never kick someone so will instead politely disband and reform without the bad element
- "JP only" is still a thing
