Console community and language issues are horrible
I'm honestly trying to "enjoy" the console version of Tera seeming as I will not play a game hosted by gameforge, and with me being from the UK I have to deal with the latency issues which is kind of annoying at times, so I thought I would just play the console version so I'm latency issues free.
The glaring issue which is annoying me to no end is that it's just too damn hard to get into groups with people that actually speak the same language, so I just find too many people that couldn't tell their [filtered] from their elbow and just make the dungeon run an absolute pain, something as simple as even telling a mystic to stop summoning their damn thrall of protection during boss fights turns into an impossibility, and results in the stupid thrall constantly stealing agro and slowing overall dps because the boss is turning around everywhere.
I'm also not expecting everyone on console (ps4) to have a keyboard either, so there's always that possibility of people not bothering to respond because of it, though people can still listen, but again, the language barriers are there and there's no designated servers to help with this issue, instead we just have a bunch of servers where people of all languages are randomly going to, creating these terrible/non-existant communities outside of joining a guild.

Multiple client lang versions make explaination muchhhhh harder.
How the duck im supposed to know how is skill called for them.
Its never straight translation anyway.
I prob should of wrote a little more clear that I'm playing on the PC version already here lol, I wanted to play the console version because it's still hosted by enmasse and I don't have any ping issues, my alternative is gameforge which I refuse to deal with.
