admin Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Captains. We are from eastern Europe and English is not our native language. Due to this fact sometimes our phrases can sound harsh and angry even though it was not our intention to come across this way. If you hear a strange comment we make that you definitely think will be misread or misunderstood. Let us know here or in private message. We will rephrase. If you find a statement that sounds extremely harsh or angry - let us know here or in private message. We will rephrase to remove all potential confusion. We want everyone to have a good time here and playing the game and believe that the way we talk can also contribute to frustration. Help us fix it. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus MacDuff Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I'm from Scotland....so technically "English" is not my native language either! But point taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hethwill Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 It is important to read only what is written and not make assumptions. Then everything is clear even if some context is missing, but then it is just a question of asking clarification 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If diplomacy can be used to resolve a disagreement between two people then so it should be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorgir Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I think that your other thread, reference community contributors could help in this respect. Basically you could run all future patch notes and official Responses through them, to get their Feedback first, giving time for any misconstrued wording to be redone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Texas Sir Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 But back on Topic, I do F11's when I see stuff in game that might not be correctly worded. Though I"m the worse person to be checking wording, grammar and spelling, but I do keep my eyes open for little things like that. I know with the UI coming out and new desc for items we need to give a good look over of things so they can be quickly corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
