Will there be a Brazilian server?

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

I do wonder how people play games without knowing english though. Do they not teach it in school? I hope nobody brings up the "people can't afford education" excuse when we're talking about games (which falls lower in the priority). My real beef is with the asians who can't speak english.

No. In schools here they teach the verbs "to have" and "to be" for 3 years straight. No quality at all, and 50min only per week(or 1:30h, not sure anymore).

To learn English here you need to pay for a course(or(like me and many others) learn the basic in the course and then spend way too much time on the internet, which normally results in "good" English skills), which is time consuming and not cheap. Besides, the absolute majority of the Brazilians have no need at all to learn English.

So, basically, why most Brazilians don't speak English:

+ No good English in school.
+ No (good)cheap courses.
+ Time consuming, specially if you are an adult and working.
+ No real "need" to learn most of the times.



I believe so anyway. :scratchhead:

Those are the same reasons why many immigrants within the US don't speak English. Many English as a Second Language programs are too pricey, or are are scheduled when most immigrants are working. This is something we had to restructure for our ESL classes where I work.

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

They are not bad players but the wall that hit in the communication is rather unpleasing. I just hope that if there is a south-america server we have our own channel because portuguese =/= spanish. There is also this issue where everyone in Latin America speaks spanish but good old "lets be different" brazil talks portuguese.

Well I don´t want to be harsh here, but I don´t know where the **** did you came up with this. I´m pretty sure you learned at school that we speak portuguese because we once were a colony of Portugal. Almost every country speaks the language of it´s mother-country, it´s not a matter of "being different". And spanish is different from portuguese. I guess you can remember that ad about the woman that was "embarassada". It´s a different language.

But yea, I'd hate to have to play in a Brazilian only server. Brazilians have a way of completely breaking the immersion. Most are not interested in the community itself, but only in their own business(that is the reason you don't see many Brazilians in the forums, besides the English skills that is). And by "own business" I mean trying to profit in any possible way, illegal or not.

Isn´t the same with anyone else? I mean, isn´t everyone here playing this game for profit(I mean in-game only)? Those ****ing stores are everywhere, there´s not only brazilian ones. They are scamming people over and over, it´s not a matter of where they´re from.

But me... I'd hate to play on it.
Cause:
- I think US servers are more competitive,
- I like to meet people from other places
- I can practice the language
- Brazilian player are difficult to handle in a party (much individualism)

Again, I don´t want to be harsh, but I don´t know where you got this. I never played with any other fellow brazilian that wasn´t nice. If I notice something strange I just step out of the game. I don´t read the channels anymore because it was just sick. Annoying kids everywhere(you can notice by their lack of politeness). It´s probably just kids and not the country they came from.


I can understand people getting annoyed by some people speaking their own language instead of english. But this thread seems to have some people(and some fellow brazilians, no less) that are just judging a person´s action by the region they´re from, in this case Brazil. That´s just disgusting.

I don´t really care if there´s a Brazilian server as long the pings are alright in USEast. I love interacting with people, no matter where they come from.

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

Hey, I am a Brazilian, believe me, I talk with other Brazilians in online games and I have a pretty good idea of the mentality of most of them. Individualists, most of them.

I don´t really care if there´s a Brazilian server as long the pings are alright in USEast. I love interacting with people, no matter where they come from.

A big reason why I wouldn't like to play in a Brazilian only server!

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

im so glad this was brought up. Brazilians invaded every single online game i play with. Diablo and Combat arms being the worst. AND from experience...all the brazilians ever do is brag about being that race and hack. they have a fetish for hacking

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

All this discussion made me remember of Gunbound. I loved to play when the servers were all mixed up but suddenly Softnyx started to create restricted servers for each country and I was forced to chance server and I went mad, not only I had to play only with brazilians but also they put me in a c**p and lagged server full of hackers (and Softnyx didn't care to fix the problem).

By the way...

Activision-Blizzard just opened their first (yeah, first!) office in Brazil some days ago, I guess its not SO impossible that they make a new realm in South America for D3. Its good for everyone, the noob scum plays at the S. America realm and I play in peace with the rest of the US East players. :thumbup:

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

Well... I never saw any difference of play per se in our fellow brazilians, there were noobs, there were hackers, there were bad manners but just like any other country, I did found my share of ppl that were in the same categories from all countries.

The problem I had in Diablo 2 was just communication between Brazil and English-speakers but aside from that, both sides had the same ammount of good and bad players.

If Blizzard creates and Latin American Server just like they did in WoW, I would play there IF the latency is lower, which isnt the case in WoW where I have the very same latency. I had many friends, from US to Brazil and I can get along just fine with both, so whatever happens I am fine with that.

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

Brazil need its own server bottom line.

I get annoyed whenever I die and need a TP, I keep saying "TP please" and my party members of which all were Brazilian wouldn't open up a TP. Finally a TP came when a guy needed to repot or sell some items which is extremely frustrating. They also lag due to their distance from our server. In the games I play I get 60ping average, brazilians get 200-300 ping if they have standard internet.

It's not that I hate Brazilians, but they just need their own server. When playing games, having 1/3 of the players in each room being brazilian just proves that Brazil needs its own server. There's enough players, Brazilians support the game by buying it, just give them their own server.

I hope blizzard notice this.

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

The thing I hate about having a mix of nationalities/languages on specific servers is that different nationalities tend to stick together and always kick out people who aren't of the same. Like in warcraft 3, my god. Just constant "BRAZILIANS ONLY DOTAAAA" or "ROMANIAN ONLY" games. Sometimes it was hard to find a game where I would be accepted. So yeah, I think there should be servers which cater to all geographical locations separately.

Re: Will there be a Brazilian server?

I think that South America should get their own server, but at the same time shouldn't be restricted to it. It would only be fair.

As for the Language deal, I'm an American and I only speak English, but I don't really care if other players don't speak the same language as me. In fact I think it makes the game feel more real if they don't.

That's because these Latin American Servers in WoW are still located in US, thus it lags.
We need our own South American servers located somewhere in south america to notice a improve on speed.

Plus, I'm brazilian, and I agree with any foreigner that says brazilians are impolite online, it's true for the majority of brazilians, makes me sad, but true... I guess the people here think they can say/do anything online because on the other side of the net that's a virtual person or something like that. They don't care about what is said/done online because they fell it's all virtual and irrelevant, that no consequence will come out of it, so they behave like spoiled brats all the time...
