PLEASE separate the forums by country/language. This messed up mixture of English, French and German is making my eyes bleed.

    Small problem when huge amount of people are not even able to play. So i wouldn't get my hopes up but yes 1 of most confusing forum pages ever.

    Agree to this. But I wouldn't even be here to comment if I wasn't stuck on a bugged quest again.

    That's what I originally came here for but then my retinas exploded when I saw this mess!

    Agree, there is normally enough rubbish to sort through on a forum without also having to sort through threads I can't even read.

    Lets take 1% of 1,000,000, thats 10,000 people, imagine having 10,000 people in your house. Your house would have to be HUGE.

    1% really? Thats the random number you got from your brain?

    Hmm let me try..


    The number of players who cant play is around 20% of the population :) sounds high enough

    Maybe bit of angry keyboard syndrome on the wording huge, nevertheless real issue to part of players.

    I was coming here to post just what the OP did. This may be the most poorly designed, confusingly laid out, visually unappealing game forum I've ever seen.

    I imagine they will work on this. But in the meantime, it comforts me to know that the devs aren't just listening to the English-speaking world (in fact, I would hope they had more languages, but maybe they will as releases happen).

    Yes, most of these players probably know English (better than many native speaking forumites, too), but I imagine the smaller population in those languages cuts down on a lot of trolling :open_mouth:

    I don't mean get rid of other languages at all, just give each country it's own forum, like every other MMO does.

    Ashers, they WILL do that. Just give them a chance to fix their priority problems first.

    Shouldn't these things have been sorted prior to launch? Isn't that the point of alpha/beta testing? 90% of the bugs I've found since release were around in beta and reported numerous times. Overall, I'm rather disappointed with this final product.

    The forum issue is such a stupidly simple fix, it's frustrating that they didn't anticipate it in the first place, anyone with a brain can look at the current layout and think, 'wow that really doesn't work'.

    i'm only seeing english... I visited the french section too to search for something, then came back here to english support. They`re all separate. Not sure where you`re seeing them all jumbled?

    I disagree, it works fine for me, I have no issue navigating these forums at all. Memorized the layout and navigation within a few minutes.

    Each category has a sub forum for EN/FR/DE, which is fine once you're in there but the category forums are mixed.

    ah you mean the categories! not the actual posts. I rather like it that way. I can just glance at everything and pick what I want, ignore what I can`t read. I think it`s clear and fine that way *shrug*. There are only12 categories, not thousands..

    It really only becomes a problem when you try to find things through the Developer Tracker.

    Layout is a bit awkward. I had made the suggestion in beta that the forum should be separated into 3 boxes, one for each language. Then, when you clicked on the language box, you got the separate boxes for each of the different categories in that language. I think it would be easier to navigate that way. If I remember right, they said there were some limitations to what they could do with the forum software.

    I do think it would work best if we could select a language to view the forums in that would automatically hide the other language categories and posts. I'm not sure if that's possible either. Knowing ZOS they are listening and they will try their best to make it better.

    The funny part is that the beta forums were perfectly fine.
