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.
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.
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.
