Associated or not, china has its own Enlisted with its own forums. If it’s too harmonized, it has nothing to do with the game itself, but with the Chinese government.
Of course, Chinese players can play the international version, but please use the “international” language (which is the most common and easy for everyone to learn) if you want to participate in the forums.
Otherwise, you’re asking programmers to code an entire section of the forums just because 1) you don’t want to use a translator - let alone learn English - and 2) you don’t want to play the version of the game made specifically for your country.
well i saw lots of other people who are not speaking english using google translate to read and write on forum. so if you dont understand english, download chrome and have it auto translate english and when you want to write something just use google translate to write in your language, translate it to english and copy/paste that translation to forum.
Look at War Thunder forum then, it has a Chinese section. It is not the matter of “international” or not. But the matter of player base. If a significant proportion of them for the international version are Chinese, then it is a problem for the developers.
Whether ppl chose to play the international version or not is not the point. It is only a consumer’s preference issue.
Also, regarding the Chinese forum. The above listed forum are 99% made up of players for the international version. The users are huge, and yet since that forum is not official, their voice not heard. So that is the problem.
I don’t play war thunder. There’s a chinese version too? Like in enlisted?
And of course it’s about international or not, otherway why there’s a chinese version in first place?
Wouldn’t be easier from the start make the chinese forum and only one version of the game?
“I don’t want to play my version because my government ruined it, i want yours. But now go work to gimme my own space there, i don’t want to use a translate nor learn english”
That’s how it sounds
Why do you guys want something exclusive? Why should china be treated differently than the entirety of the other countries of the world?
Yes, it would segregate and divide to add a chinese section: chinese ppl would make no efforts to join the rest of the community and AS ALWAYS just hang amongst themselves.
It’s a bad idea. [Edited]. Always wanting more, than everyone else…
There’s a good reason why English is the go to language for world wide communication and scientific sharing: it’s easy to learn and speak.
In fact, English is renowned to be the easiest language to use, amongst all. And chinese, amongst the hardest.
Let’s become geeks for a moment and use dungeon and lizards universe: English language = Common language. chinese = draconic or whatever odd other language. It’s not practical for anyone else but chinese.
Do we have Arab sections, with arab letters? Do we have Greek, Norwegian, French, Spanish etc?
No.
Then, to be FAIR for everyone, AND to prevent segregated groups, china should not receive favoritism.
special treatments to use chinese names? then what about japanese and korean names and etc.
You comments deserve no reply as I have elaborated much above.
Hah, basically you don’t understand the situation.
The own version has no shared files with international version. Also it is a product of some Chinese company purchase in order to run officially proved in China. But this doesn’t prevent most Chinese play legally with the international version.
War Thunder has a Chinese version and a international version. It also has a Chinese language section on its forum. Most Chinese play with the international version, as the result the special version is a joke. Similar situation with enlisted.
3.That your last sentences look like a joke. It is already so much clear that it is not your business to care whether Chinese players chose to play the international version or domestic verison. How many times do I need to stress that this post was written because there have been significant player population being Chinese. If Russian section is there then it is also possible a Chinese section.
Ahh well this reminds me of the time, i made a post about wanting to have a console forum, and a PC forum, but alas that was shot down too.
And how many times have there been request for a SEA server, again always shot down.
You get 26k players a day atm, betting 20k are the bots, and here you are, ignoring a chunk of the world, that you don’t wish to serve.
So i finally give up then, always held a hope, that one day there be a server closer to my region, as being in Australia, latency is 220 to US server, EU 270
Seems like i would get a better ping to server if i was in China
Applies for visa to China so i can game with a better ping.
Indeed, i don’t understand the situation or why it’s so important. Your arguments are:
There’s many chinese players
Yes, but there’s a lot of people from the whole world and we all speak different languages. Should we all have our own section? Here in the forums there’s not that much people anyway (or at least people who want to participate)
Many can’t speak english.
Translator, like everyone else period.
People writing in their own languages.
Those people are the ones who don’t wanna use a translator, the last thing devs should do is spend time doing a separate part for them when they can’t spend 2 minutes using google.
Game updates information.
Again, translator it’s just two minutes.
Russian forum
There’s a russian section because this game is made by russians.
Do you understand that having people working on adding more thins to the forum cost money right?
They can’t (want to) fix the real important things in the game and you want’em spend money on web programmers because chineses can’t use a translator for 2 minutes
Besides, if you are in the international version of the game WHY you want to speak your language? Use the one we all understand, suggestions may have more views that way.
And to add to this, if a whole page needs translating, is same highlight text,
then instead of clicking translate selection, there’s the option, to translate the whole page,
why would it be so hard?? for the devs to read when it simply puts whole page into English, ?
This is purely an English forum, just use English.
In fact, do Chinese users need their own forums that much compared to other countries?
Take Japan as an example, the Japanese Enlisted community is very active in the user discord community. To gather information, we look at the English forums here or the newsletters released a day late by DMM, the company that localizes the Japanese version of the game. This is enough for me. Incidentally, there is a Japanese channel on the official Discord, but no one uses it. Even if a Japanese forum was created here, I doubt almost anyone would use it.
The Discord community of users has more than 500 participants in one community, so there will surely be more than a thousand Japanese users of this game.
I wonder how many of the thousands of Chinese players will use the Chinese forum.
Before adding an official forum, Chinese people can also create their own user community, and there is a Chinese channel on the official discord. Also, if there is an local publisher like DMM in China, information dissemination is a job they could do originally.
Well, maybe they have done all those things and you are making suggestions.
If we create a Chinese forum, we will also need a Japanese forum and a Korean forum. We would need Spanish, Italian, German, French, and all the language versions that this game is localized in. Fair enough, but DF would have to hire moderators and helpers to manage each forum and pay server rental costs…
I would prefer that the time and money to expand the official forums be used to improve the quality of the game. Non-Chinese users have also seen the value in the game’s potential, bought content during beta testing, and supported the game financially.
Yo Joe. To be fair, I should point out that perhaps 2-byte characters are now allowed. Not only Chinese but also Japanese and Hangul are now allowed.
