    I've actually reached the limit for the ignore list, that's just how much german talking there is in beginner chat non stop, once it's possible having seperate chats for specific languages would help tremendously, as it stands I opted out of auto joining beginner chat because it's not so much beginner chat as much as it is German chat with 95% of the messages there being in German.
    Also basing the common language on the server population is just silly, it would then just change whenever there's an influx of players from a different country, that's why English is generally the common language used on world wide games.

    I understand, and @Dallarian made a good point too. Sadly though, there is just two options
    1 - you make a german general chat. I am pretty sure it will become a german LFG, trade, beginner, strategy and all the other chats in once, so that means virtually all germans will suddenly be in their own separate chat. If they don't speak english in the first place, not much changes, as they wouldn't likely partake in the current chat anyway. BUT, when a guy has an LFG to a map with all german players or mixed players, I believe they will choose their native speaking peers over anyone else for convenience, thus you just split the community. Not completely, as I originally believed, but to a significant part that, I will stand by this, is not viable at this point.
    2 - things stay as they are. I hope and believe most people speak at least basic english and if not, they can go voice with other german players, settle things via whispers or closed groups. It's not a requirement to speak english in life, but as things are now, the game server is purely english. I'll keep advocating to keep the existing chats an english only place so that a majority can understand, not just the biggest minority. Let's not change things for now and perhaps revisit this when there is a lot more players, then it could be beneficial both ways, but for now, my opinion is mostly unchanged.

    I am from Germany too and I think its just fair to only chat in English ( in channels everybody can see). It would be horrible if everybody would chat in there own language. I also dont like the Idea of having seperate channels for languages.

    Hey,

    Sorry that you are potentially being discriminated for the language you speak, however, it seems to me the message you sent was not a threat or something rude. I can't say for sure if this is happening or not. I understand the point of answering in german, especially because it is much harder to translate ingame text (no ingame translation/copy message to paste in external translator option), as well as answering said question in public channels, because the community is so big, that there is a high chance it could benefit other (german) people.

    Adding new language channels is never an easy decision, as apart from the effect on the community, we also need mods who could easily moderate the new language that are added.

    It's a massive problem that the Devs cant change the available chats due to not having access to source code. 
    This problem wouldn't be much of an issue if we could simply have an english and german global. 

    That said, co-op matchmaking with a language barrier is a bit of a pain, i dont mind other languages at all but if i cant communicate with the person I'm playing with that sort of kills my desire to co-op at all.

    That's completely besides the problem. I'm from germany and german is my native language, so I definitely can stand hearing or reading german. But i think it's incredibly disrespectful to join an international community and then refuse to use a language everyone else understands.

    If you know english but choose to speak German instead then you're knowingly and purposely making chat more unfriendly and useless for everyone who doesn't know german.
    I personally block/ignore anyone who doesn't talk english because seeing non english in chat makes it useless. My native language isn't english yet I only type english because it's better for everyone involved, I can communicate with more people and if people happen to be observing chat they may get something useful out of it instead of people looking at chat and feeling left out or feeling it's useless seeing it.

    I just think it's flat out rude spamming the chat in german when you are 100% aware that there are non-german players present. You can expect someone to be able to speak English even if it's just for a couple of words, that's not the case at allwith German. If you want long chats you can always whisper each other or group up.
  9. Madmax7 liked a post in a topic by Metagross31 in German Chat   
    In general, I'm in favor of this decision. Also, not because I want to have a place to speak German in, but because I think games should not be dominated by a non-english language if we want to make it accessable to everyone, not only speakers of that language. I've seen this happen in many other games (*cough* CS:GO and Dota 2 *cough*) and it tends to lead to more toxicity in the community. Even though I am a German native speaker as well, I do not want this to happen.
    One thing we have to be careful about though, is to not make this split the playerbase into several sub-communities, which are separated by language. Our playerbase, especially the non-german part, just isn't large enough for that.
  10. Madmax7 liked a post in a topic by Dallarian in German Chat   
    The goal is to keep our small community together.
    However, if in addition to /trade /strategy /beginner we have /deutsch, and every player can use /leave deutsch command, I would not be against. All German community contributors would still stay on all English chats anyway.
    Giving every single chat in the game it's own German version would be very problematic - German players would need to choose which languange they want to speak in game, and loss of hundreds players from English chats will hurt.
     
    Also current state of the game motivates me to learn German -/-

    More feedback:
    After recent increase in current players... well... they all came from one country. Let's say it's no longer quality of life, but an actual problem - chat is flooded in Deutsch, and it feels atleast weird.
    Individual channel would:
    Decrease speed of other chats, to help English users communicate with each other (majority of messages are currently german). Allow relevant area for those who speak German only, where they can ask for many things, without "blocking" other channels.

    Hey all,
    we already had a large percentage of German players, but since it's going through the roof at the moment, I think we have a very urgent need for a German chat.
    I'm not so much interested in having a way to talk German in-game, but more in finding a way for the non-Germans to escape all the German chatter.
    I can understand that people who have to permanently follow conversations they can't understand feel left out and that's rude.
    We might also need to spread the little-known knowledge about the feature of how to leave and rejoin chat channels. But I'm not quite sure how that can be done.

    What do you think?

    Hi all,
    I've been encountering an issue lately with Skylords Reborn where it freezes my entire PC when it goes to sleep while Skylords Reborn is still running. I'll try to explain in detail below:
    What exactly happens/ description:
    My Windows is set to go to sleep automatically after some time of inactivity (30 mins). Last night I had launched the game and was doing some things in the AH and the forge, but had to go AFK for a bit. During this time Windows had gone to sleep automatically. When I woke the PC from sleep, Windows seemed to be unresponsive entirely (therefore I have not been able to screenshot/record it). The screen went completely black, except for the taskbar. My mouse can also still move around, but it does not respond when I try to click something. I tried to push various buttons to escape the frozen state (Windows button, Windows + D to get to desktop, Ctrl + Alt + Del, Ctrl + Shift + Esc), but none seem to work. It looks similar to when Explorer.exe is not responding. Usually, I restart my PC at this point by holding the on/off-button, but I had some work open in the background that I did not want to lose, so I decided to wait it out. After about 10 mins the Task Manager window finally popped up from pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc, where it showed that Battleforge was not responding. However, at this point the PC was still not responding as a whole. After about 15 mins in total my PC started to respond normally again and I was able to shut down Battleforge through the task manager. I restarted the game and everything worked fine again.
    When does it happen/ reproducibility:
    100% of the times when Windows goes to sleep automatically and Battleforge is running. It does not seem to matter what I was doing, whether I was in the forge or AH. I have not tried yet if going to sleep manually causes the same effect. I've encountered the problem quite some times now over a longer period of time and I try to prevent the situation by closing Battleforge when going AFK, but sometimes I forget.
    Log file: _log_proxy_0.log
    Additional information:
    I have no idea what exactly causes the issue, but I have a suspicion that the problem lies on my side, as I have not heard anyone else talking about it. Perhaps some graphic driver issue or something?
    The issue itself is not game-breaking for me so there is no urgency, but it just gets a little annoying when you have work left open on the background and your whole PC freezes.
    Thanks in advance for your time and efforts!

    @MozillaFox Have you been able to fix this issue? I assume you could probably prevent this by playing in windowed mode instead of full screen, or by disabling the sleep function.
  15. Madmax7 liked a post in a topic by MozillaFox in Game freezes computer after power save mode   
    @Zyna Well yeah, fixed it to the extent that I have prevented it from happening since te original post. I'm pretty sure disabling the sleep function would work. Have not tried to reproduce the problem when playing in windowed mode though. Will try to do so somewhere in the upcoming days. But like I said, the issue is not game-breaking for me, I just found it odd that going to sleep while BF is running would freeze my entire system for a while.
  16. Madmax7 liked a post in a topic by Kyoji in Game freezes computer after power save mode   
    DESCRIPTION: Three times so far when I step away from the game (not in a match) the computer screen goes black and enters power save mode. However when I come back and try to access the game it is either flickering and/or stuck. All three times I have been unable to access my other screen (monitor 2) using alt tab or ctrl+alt+delete. And one of the three times I was unable to even use ctrl+alt+delete and had to manually restart my computer from my desktop itself.
    REPRODUCIBILITY: Again it has happened three times and doesn't seem to be an issue outside of power save mode.

    Hi,
    I was playing with my Girlfriend - went to make dinner with her so left our PCs on with Battleforge open.
    Took about an hour to make dinner and came back to the game with a white screen with a window bar at the top flickering up and down.
    Unable to open task manager or get to desktop so had to shutdown both PCs and reboot,
