Why do some ghosts speak German
-
I had the same problem yesterday. I'm EP doing the VR quests in Glenumbra and some of the ghost NPCs were speaking German. By the time I thought about submitting a bug report I had finished the quest and forgot the name.0 -
Saerydoth✭✭✭✭The patch notes say this was fixed in today's patch. It has been a known issue since the game launched. It broke sometime during the last beta patch.0 -

✭✭As long as the text is in English this would almost be a neat feature. I like the quest in Shadowfen dungeon Arx where they spirits speak another language. Makes it feel more like a fantasy world0 -

Same thing this weekend. Although I was entertained actually.

Squishy✭✭✭Yes, when you hear german, you know a water spirit is near.
Even without speaking german, kudos to the voice actors though
"In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."2 -

Apparently it isn't fixed. It does make me lol. I actually listen to more of the story when they are speaking German (though I don't speak any of it).0 -
BobZul✭I have this.
And it is not specific to one zone. I've come accross several places in the game where "elemental" creatures speak German for me. Including, but not limited to, quests in Glenumbra and in one of the dungeons named Arx Something.2 -
It's pretty cool...Until they tell you "Pay attention & I will guide you through the fight!"
Except the fight doesn't HAVE text, only audio..Still survived it, just pay attention to them & you'll notice they gesture for you to take cover near them.2 -

I would try to do a repair on the client and try again. It seems odd that they would've put in the patch notes that it was fixed, if it wasn't. I have a character parked at a German-speaking NPC for testing purposes, but I won't be able to test myself until about 10:30 tonight because I'm at work.Edited by Saerydoth on May 5, 2014 5:28PM1 -

OHHHHH that's what we were supposed to do in that dungeon? It took us a couple hours to tank our way through that fight... So the German ghost was telling us what to do to avoid death and win the fight? Was wondering why they said they would help and then just stood there.0 -

Yeah, they actually tell you what you're supposed to do. It's just that, if you don't speak German, you'll have no idea what they're saying. The 1.0.7 patch notes say the issue with some NPC's speaking the wrong language is fixed though. I have a character parked at a wayshrine near the German-speaking elementals for testing purposes so I will know when it's fixed, but I won't be able to test it until I get home from work tonight.0 -
I always liked it.
Not so much when I have to translate some for my husband (when he needs to move to some NPC otherwise he gets hurt) but oh well, I will miss the random German

PVT_Parts✭✭✭Well in Glenumbra it isn't fixed, but that isn't really an issue. Guess that dungeon is an issue though.1

Oni667Soul ShrivenApart from not understanding the water spirit, it sounded pretty awesome. As if it came from a much older age.
It also doesn't really matter what the elite map monsters really say. I doubt they would give you actual advice on how to defeat them

Saerydoth✭✭✭✭So this actually wasn't fixed, even though the patch notes say it was? I'm confused. As I said, I can't test it until after 10pm tonight, but the patch notes clearly say it was fixed.Glenumbra
Seeking the Guardians: Fixed an issue where the voiceover dialogue was in the incorrect language.1 -

Weird, I wonder why they so specifically put that in the patch notes if it wasn't actually fixed. Has anyone tried doing a repair, or redownloading the voice files? I can do that when I get home, but that won't be until later tonight. You go into the ESO directory and delete the files in the vo_en directory and do a repair and it will re-download them.0 -
Yea, happened to the forest spirits again this weekend. I died curing the Wyrd tree because I couldn't understand them in German. But then I remembered the trick in beta was to take cover when they light up and beat it easily.0

Razour✭✭✭True strory...
A couple of nights ago I booked up a trip to Munich just before I logged in game - lots of excitement in the house as we lived in Munich for a few years and this will be a chance to meet a lot of good friends.
As I logged in to the game I could still hear my wife and daughter practicing their German and talking about the trip.
Anyways once logged in I picked up questing where I'd left off the previous night and pretty much the first piece of dialogue I encounter is a ghost speaking German.
It actually took me a few mins to figure out it was a bug and not just my subconscious.

zhevon✭✭✭✭I have run into one quest with German voice overs- tree guardian one - I really enjoyed it - added sort of a surreal feel to the endevour.0

Iago✭✭✭✭✭Some ghosts are speaking German dialog to me. I'm on English NA server.
I am sure the German players have ghosts that speak Portugese
seriously though I only encountered the German ghosts once and like a prior poster said it was in GlenumbraThat which we obtain to cheap we esteem to lightly, it is dearness only that gives everything its value.
