Not everyone can read chinese? even if we use the english patch, it is only partially translated. And all the other players will be communicating in mandarin. You'll basicly be playing alone because of the language barrier, where is the fun in that? Tried the taiwan server, better ping but feel a bit alienated.
There are a few SEA Guild there which you can join and there problem solve with feeling alienated.
You wont be feeling alone once you join an already establish community in Taiwan right.
Regarding the english patch last i check they had everything translated skills/menu/character stats and i think they even start translating the cutscene with english subs
Most of the player will be communicating in Mandarin.You are right but did you try communicate with them in English and see what happen.
I had at a few occasion communicate with them in English and they understand yes they respond by subpar english but hey they try to communicate.
They are surprise why i even play in Taiwan and not in NA/EU.It's only a barrier if you make it a barrier and not try to communicate.
Let me ask you whats the fun in a game which is very dependent on ping and your ping is above 200?
Unless you are playing range then great go ahead out of 6 class you can only play 2 class.
You will be horrible in PVP US/EU will be hitting you with a skills and you wont know WTF is happening.
Assumption below is if they follow the same stats they had on CN/Taiwan.
You dont PVP, great news for you in PVE you are a liability the class you are playing is at best performing at 50% of its capabilities
In B&S there is 6 man Dungeon and 4 man Dungeon.There is an enrage timer at every boss.
Performing at 50% not doing enough damage? Boss enrage whole party wipe rinse repeat.
-Gear Check best gear in game but still wiping? Why?
-Doing the best rotation as i could but why am i hitting hard enough? Why?
-Let me look up youtube and watch how people kill this boss.
-Wait a sec why are they hitting faster than me?
Oh waitt its my ping all over again.
/TLDR/
Enough rant from me just want to inform you guys its not worth the trouble to play in NA/EU.
When there is a better server right near our own region.
