Channels and Languages

  • It would be cool if channels had preferred languages.
    Finding people that speak the same language would be made easier.


    For example, Channel 4 - English

    Channel 3 - Spanish

    Channel 2 - German

    Channel 1 - Bilingual


    If some form of language specification is made for channels, it'll make communication simple.

  • Makes literally no sense, there are more chinese/HK/TW players than germans for exemple, so why would there be a german channel ? there already is a sub-forum for every most-common languages here.


    But in game ? the server is already empty from a gamer's perspective, having anything that would divide us would be a terrible idea, this isn't TERA or Dragon Nest or whatever with empty servers because of region-based servers.


    This is Dragon Ball Online Global.

    Wow, thanks for letting me know this is DragonBall Online Global?
    OB's player base will be greater than that of which we are seeing now; the end of POB.


    And I don't know how it doesn't make sense? Every channel will still be accessible to all players, there's no restrictions on players in terms of which channel they can enter.


    And explain how this divides the player base? Every character is still playing on the same server...

    It's just curtailed for players to match up with people that speak their language...

    Lol.... "divide the playerbase". Wars are doing already buddy.

  • Just in case you don't know, MMORPG are all about playing with other players, if you don't like playing with others then play DBOffline or just stay on your story-mode video games lol, your thread and your answer literally means you don't like other countries or you don't wanna play with other people, either way, it's silly and has 0 arguing lol, nonsense.

  • Hi,


    Guilds and LFG chat exist for a reason. If players want to play with others that speak their language, then it is advised they join a guild that speaks their respective language or try finding groups through LFG chat.


    Every player is welcome on all channels and making a channel for exclusive languages could encourage division amongst players, which is not something that is ideal.

  • Personally I see no point in this whatsoever. It's not dividing the community nor is it really making a difference to anything, so why not just leave the channels as is. Before you say "With specific channels for each language they can meet more people who speak their language on that channel." If you want to find someone who speaks your language, that's what the sub forum is for along with what Tempest said about the LFG chat.

    Lol, do you really understand the English language?
    Where in my post do I ever suggest that I'm against any other languages playing in this game, where do I mention I do not like playing with other players? If it doesn't make any sense, explain why it doesn't make sense...? Otherwise, quite frankly; you're speaking out of your ass


    Stupidity is causing you to spew slander. It's not my fault you can't interpret the meaning of my post.

    Stop jumping to extremes and actually critique the idea. Act like an adult.

    Nope, much better if we can mingle with everyone.

    And for the languages, we have the guilds for that.

    In no way shape or form does this idea limit you from mingling with various ethnicity across DBOG... . No changes will be made other than a side note suggesting: "This channel's preferred language is English"


    The format I created earlier was just an example of how the setup may look.

    Regarding guilds, look at the reply to Tempest's post.

    Hi,

    1. There are players who prefer not to join guilds

    2. There are players who join guilds that are not of their native language.

    3. LFG is not the same as stumbling across someone spontaneously and becoming their friend.

    4. LFG was made to help players find groups in order to complete gameplay, it wasn't meant to be used as a source for making friends. Although it gets the job done, it is impractical.


    Guilds aren't just for language purposes.

    Having new players join DBOG and finding themselves surrounded by players they cannot understand, is also not ideal...


    Regarding Sub-Forums. My reply to Xenos is about the same.


    Personally I see no point in this whatsoever. It's not dividing the community nor is it really making a difference to anything, so why not just leave the channels as is. Before you say "With specific channels for each language they can meet more people who speak their language on that channel." If you want to find someone who speaks your language, that's what the sub forum is for along with what Tempest said about the LFG chat.

    DBOG Forums and DBOG client are separate entities.


    Sub-forums can only get people so far... You're making the assumption that everyone will be using the forums.

    You would have to disengage from the game, enter forums and find players you can speak to and play with, rather than just coming across them in-game.

  • Rob, Although your idea has merit in terms of communication I would have to disagree with the idea,


    Although your correct open beta will have a higher population on each sever channel, I don't see it being beneficial to separate channels in terms of language.


    Here is some reasons I can think of below.


    1) Some languages do lack the population base of other languages, so finding a party for a dungueon, rank match 1v1 or party, may take longer in some channels then others, may have lack of competition (budokai, dojo wars scramble) if server population is low for a language.


    2) Making channels based on language will alienate other players from joining the server or possibly leave them open to ridicule if they speak a language other than the servers channels language.


    3)Communication isn't a large problem in game as tempest pointed out theres ways to advertise in your specific language if you are looking for a guild, party, .etc In pve scenarios the average players don't need language to communicate effectively if they know there role in a party ie dende heals, buffer buffs party fighter hits stuff.etc (NOTE: Ill admit reason 3 is a weak reason but its based on my personal experience I have partied with Korean and chineses players without understanding a word they were saying and had no problem doing my role.)


    anyways that's my take as always


    New ideas are always welcomed to be debated


    regards boxbox

  • While i too, like the sound of that, people have already given pretty fair points why it's not that good of an idea in the end.
    Not to mention it might piss off or hurt other people who don't use english as their main language, thus giving us more possible problems, such as them sending complaints about it, seeing it as discrimination towards people who don't speak english, and would also bring more people on the said english servers to spam or troll users. I know it sounds insane and ridiculous, but i can guarantee these cases are highly possible.

    Not all users would do that, but you get the point.

  • Although your correct open beta will have a higher population on each sever channel, I don't see it being beneficial to separate channels in terms of language.

    This isn't a separation. It's to give players an indication that there's a player base that speaks their language; 'and you can find them here'.

    1) Some languages do lack the population base of other languages, so finding a party for a dungueon, rank match 1v1 or party, may take longer in some channels then others, may have lack of competition (budokai, dojo wars scramble) if server population is low for a language.

    1. This is why the game has multiple channels, this is also why I asked to keep all channels open to different languages. Just because one channel has a preferred language, does not mean you're not entitled to play and enter said channel.


    Budos, Dojo Wars, Scramble all occur on one channel.... If the population for these events are low, it isn't the languages that are causing this effect, it's the player base.


    2) Making channels based on language will alienate other players from joining the server or possibly leave them open to ridicule if they speak a language other than the servers channels language.


    The channels are not based on a language, they have a "preferred" language.


    Yes, there's a possibility that some players may be ridiculed for speaking another language. However, speaking different languages is not against the DBOG policy, and any player that ridicules or flames someone for speaking a different language, is violating DBOG rules. We have a ticket system to report players who indulge in such bad behaviour.

    Your point is an extreme circumstance, and shouldn't serve as a deterrent to the suggestion, as there are measures set in place; thats sole purpose is to condemn acts such as these.

    3)Communication isn't a large problem in game as tempest pointed out theres ways to advertise in your specific language if you are looking for a guild, party, .etc In pve scenarios the average players don't need language to communicate effectively if they know there role in a party ie dende heals, buffer buffs party fighter hits stuff.etc (NOTE: Ill admit reason 3 is a weak reason but its based on my personal experience I have partied with Korean and chineses players without understanding a word they were saying and had no problem doing my role.)


    This isn't about making parties with people, and whether or not you can understand them or not.
    Partying with randoms that speak different languages, is simple. You're doing that to accomplish something in the game.

    Not to develop friendships or relationships. (Not saying you can't make friends through in-game activities)


    And you are wrong, communication is not simple in this game. New players are joining everyday, not knowing what to do. Most are met with someone that speaks a foreign language and can't help them; which in return, turns them off from playing.


    You're right, it's a weak argument.


    Anyhow, this was just a suggestion that could improve communication in the game.

    If people fail to see that the pros outweigh the cons in this instance... What can I do about it lol.



    While i too, like the sound of that, people have already given pretty fair points why it's not that good of an idea in the end.

    Most of the points are just opinions...

    Why would people complain about "preferred" language?


    For the people who do discriminate and troll. There's a report feature in place for a reason. To sanction abusive players.


    Why do you only mention English? They are many different languages here? What makes English more important than the rest of them?


    The cases you mention are quite extreme, These "radicals" you are suggesting that will appear because of this suggestion have their own individual problems and the issue resides solely with them. This is why we have a report and ban function.

  • Then we should create other 10 or more channels for other languages, why put bilingual when you can put every language in every channel. You don’t just put english german, spanish etc. you need to put mandarin, Japanese, korean, hindi, arabic, or why not put the continents, Asia, Europe, Africa, Etc. or just , Why not?

    If you put bilingual, then you just basically said nah, you are not that important to make your own freaking channel, you guys can F yourselves.

    This is a great idea.


    Edit: for real, the idea as the name of the channel will be continents is not a bad idea. 7 continents (channels) wont hurt.

    Not languages, continents!

    As the name of the game is GLOBAL.

  • Like imagine English channel would be full all the time and the other channels will be a ghost town sorry to dissapoint but its a really bad idea still much love regardless

    I prefer the ghost town, I can hunt peacefully, every farmer is changing the semi ghost town channel every DB event.
    basically, Ghost town in DBOG is non existing.


  • 1. There are players who prefer not to join guild

    The guild system is designed for players to make friends and help keep in contact with others. If players don't want to join a guild, that is essentially them saying they are fine with running solo. They are choosing to not make friends.


    2. There are players who join guilds that are not of their native language.

    Again, this is their decision. If they want to join guilds where they can't understand players then that's on them, and they don't really have much of a right to complain that they are having difficulty in locating players who speak their language when they are purposely trying to avoid players who speak their language (by joining a guild where they can barley communicate).


    3. LFG is not the same as stumbling across someone spontaneously and becoming their friend.

    LFG and LFP chat is designed for players to search for players/groups. I've witnessed many players looking for groups who became friends from using that chat.


    4. LFG was made to help players find groups in order to complete gameplay, it wasn't meant to be used as a source for making friends. Although it gets the job done, it is impractical.

    Who is to say it wasn't meant to be used as a source to be used for making friends? Of course it is, anyone can make friends through LFG/LFP chat. It's used to find players who have a common interest through interacting with each other and friendships can spawn from that interaction.


    Not to mention, there is DBO G discord, which has the main majority of languages (that the DBO G player base speaks) covered in all text/voice channels. If players want to seek out others who speak their native language then they can use the DBO G Discord as a resource. It's actually a lot easier now with the use of discord to remain in touch and make new friends.


    Back in the days of DBO Taiwan it was a lot harder to find players who would speak your language in comparison to DBO G. But now because of discord, that is not the case.
