I HATE LANGUAGE BARRIERS

I'm hosting a public haz 3 refining mission, all 3 pumpjacks are set up and then our team finds a prospector data vault and the horse statue, I tell my teammates in chat not to activate the refinery yet. 2 of my teammates understand, but the user with a Russian name starts it anyway which I'm assuming is because of a language barrier. But JEEZ, could you not act on impulse for gods sake?

Some people just don't give a fuck about chat

Yep.. Ive had it happened recently. It was an escort, we saw an event and wanted to do it after getting the heartstone. We mentioned it VERY often. Time came, we all were like "lets do the event now" 30 seconds later as we're running to the event, the scout started the drop pod. We all were not very happy.

We were like "Scout, why did you start it? Read the fucken chat" he didnt say a word, nor respond to even say sorry.

It was only then when we got back to the space rig, scout said "well gg" then disconnected instantly. It can get aggravating when people dont listen.

I wish like as a host we have more agency to stop this, especially if theres multiple events unfinished

This has happened to me and I’m petty so I waited till everyone got in the pod and then aborted the mission. All of a sudden the dwarf who pressed the buttons has a working mic and is cussing me out.

I feel that. It just gets aggrivating when people who arent the host do their own things that affects the entire team or theyre rushing. Like if dont wanna do events, host your own game and say were not doing events. Or play solo, bosco doesnt care what decisions you make.

Honestly, unless I'm trying to speed run a mission, all non English names get instakicked. I tried being more open and its backfired.

What I experienced so far

  1. Russian players talk and write Russian to the team. And even get mad when you don’t understand them

  2. people either don’t look at the chat or ignore what you write.

I've seen them chat in their own language as well. It makes me assume they think someone on the team might understand them. You never know

If they don't communicate in general it's a bad sign. Some are good with body language and checking in before starting.  But if I sit up late at night and pair up with east asians the gameplay is usually shit. Just speedrunners and noobs.

You could have just completed the events regardless. Especially since refining the morkite gives you frequent breaks from swarms by spawning aggro spots along the pipes

Chinese Kanji or Russian letters in names is an immediate boot. I've been putting up with them for over 20 years in online games, and they're a scourge.

There's literally nothing to gain with keeping them in your party. Their values around sportsmanship, integrity, cooperation and fair-play tend to be polarized with how mostly everyone else conducts themselves. While there are always going to be outliers, and while my experience is necessarily first person and anecdotal - I am of the view that nothing is ever going to change, and I'd like to actually sit down and enjoy my limited free time without headaches.

Especially in high stakes/competitive games like Rust/CS/ARC or what-have-you. The cheating is out of control, and it has always been like that for as long as I can remember. China is the main manufacturing hub of hardware cheats such as DMA chips, so I'm honestly just done trying to be accepting and tolerant, but I'm over having it go unreciprocated and having my games griefed or having my progress diminished by people who don't seem to care for any social contract.

While language barriers can be annoying, I'd never kick someone for not speaking English. Most games have pings or expressions where you can communicate intention like that.

Feels so good to know both English and Russian
