Gatviper✭✭✭✭Aufhören anzugeben? That's actually German and means "stop showing off". Did the Launcher really show that?Life is a ride, like days in a train, cities rush by, like ghosts in the night.

✭✭✭✭"Showing off" implies that the target audience for other languages is you, the English-speaker who doesn't need them. Let me reassure you. That isn't aimed at you. It's aimed at other existing humans in the world that are also playing the game and might more readily recognize those languages. It is not meant to be a shockingly vulgar display of having knowledge, which I know is a cardinal sin, but is instead a utility. People who have allergies to peanuts should not browse a candy store; people who are allergic to being exposed to information that they don't already know should avoid games or any other internet media that are populated by other people.13 -
RubyWarfare✭✭✭I am nowhere near as articulate as Minyassa. He pretty much said what I came here to say. I just think it is interesting that you see this as showing off. Like Minyassa said, it is not about the game going "hey look at how many languages I can speak!" but more making sure that people get the message that the game is shutting down for a while, using several commonly spoken languages.1 -

It's showing off, by unnecessarily repeating the message several times, saying 'hey look we're a global game!'
You completely missed the point of the post, that one message in the players' language, is all that's needed.0 -

First, no, it's not aimed at the English speaker - it's telling everyone, "hey, look, we're a global game!"
Second, knowledge is good. You also completely missed the point that one message in the player's language is enough.0 -

You do realize, you're basically arguing for 'keep the server going down message blanketing the screen constantly at least for 15 minutes, if not longer, so Sylvermynx always sees it.' Each message once in your language is enough.0 -

the NA servers are a combination of Canada which has French as a second language, numerous countries in South America and the Caribbean speak Spanish, Portuguese, French and Dutch, and of course the NA server is also home to the Asian community which makes up Japan and Korea, possibly other countries.
EU I shouldn't even have to explain every single European, Scandinavian and whatever other country uses that server.

No, they're not, but you are showing a severe lack of reading comprehension by thinking that was the issue, rather than showing the message once in one of those languages the player selects.0 -

Your logic is not like our earth logic, is it?
There are not multiple instances of the game for each language, that is why announcements are made in multiple languages because, get this, it's not only English-speakers who play the game. Making a forum post about how you don't like seeing other languages is a bizarrely petty thing to do.

I mean, not really, my point still stands that ESO has a large range of languages and makes it more convenient to make one message in multiple languages.0 -

I'm surprised the NA server has so few languages represented, TBH. They need to include Spanish and Portuguese at the least. I'd probably add Tagalog and Chinese too.1 -

No, ESO has a large range of languages and it makes it more convenient to make one message in the language the player selects for their language. Have I said that same thing 10 times yet? Maybe if I say it in multiple languages.0 -

✭✭We need more Ignore slots on the forum; 12 isn't enough.
That the OP thinks a company is "showing off" by broadcasting messages in multiple languages is beyond ridiculous and small-minded.
And I didn't miss the point. OP eclipsed any sense of a reasonable suggestion in his secondary point by putting forth the first.

Hoolielulu✭✭✭✭✭I'm stuck on the "showing off" bit. If *I* was showing off I'd slam every language ever known to man on there. Including Klingon. That's showing off.2 -

*shrug* Why make it unnecessarily complicated?
Just printing a text to screen is easier than reading the player's settings and looking up that language's string somewhere, then printing a text to screen.
Sure, they could do it, but why?
I still have difficulties taking that "complaint" seriously. ZOS should print it out and hang it on the wall under "examples of weird forum requests".
