Yes, they added it
Personally I dont care which language a player writes in the chat. Why should I be bothered? A simple communication tool are the quick chats/commands. Everything else written in the chat is just not useful enough IMHO.
But I cant tell if he is writing free text or using the communication wheel thingy.
So weird.
I see some new topics about chinese players in the game.
Lately I also see much more players who are apparently chinese.
I dont care where players live, I will play with everybody.
But I cant read their names and I cant read what they write!
It’s not very difficult to see that this is not working well.
This battle was yesterday.
Half our team has names that I cant read (not a big problem) and I cant read what they write in the chat (yes big problem).
So we cant communicate about the battle.

Indeed and because this becomed common in the game almost in every battle it look like non-chinese player are becomed a minority…
