PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

You are the one posting on an English based forum, so you should try to do the extra work if you want a lot of people reading and answering your messages.
You write in French and expecting all of us to translate? Not cool! (and this is being said by a French speaking person who refuses to answer you in French since you do not try on your side either).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the old forums, wasn't there a rule (often mentioned by @Roland) that posts were to be in English? Did that change when we got the new forums? Perhaps our current mods should make a ruling.

Here: https://community.thefunpimps.com/help/rules/

The specific section actually says this:

C9. Backseat Copyediting​

Unsolicited objections or corrections to a user’s writing (language, spelling, grammar, punctuation, paragraphs, etc.). Players of all languages and backgrounds can use the forum. If you can’t understand a non-English post, you may use translation software. Users posting in poor English or non-English may be ignored, but not harangued.

As the game had become more and more international we relaxed that rule and then removed it completely. People are free to post in whatever language they wish and going along with the response of @faatal you are free to ignore any post that is in a language you don't want to have to translate. For me personally, when I am on mobile I have to highlight all the text and then select translate which opens a new screen that I then have to back out of. So when I'm on mobile I ignore those posts. When on my PC it is one click to translate the page so it's no big deal.

Put the user on ignore if it really bothers you. Or just skip over their posts. If someone feels like nobody is engaging with them unless they post in English and they want that engagement then they'll be motivated to post in English. It's basic behaviorism.

Maybe the rule will change in the future but that decision is above me.

Exactly. If we're being technical, then everyone who has been posting to tell another user to start posting in English is the rule breaker and not that user...lol.

Zut Alors!

Yes I know! When I read that ruling, I figured that telling someone to post in English was wrong. But telling that person that more people would read English translated messages and answer them was still... Okay (I guess? Maybe?)

It all clogs up the thread with off topic material. Best to be done as a PM instead. Now lets all get back on topic and let this go.

Here's a question:

How do you think you will play the game once the change is made that will no longer require you to overcome the biome hazards in order? Will you still generally follow the flow that TFP established or will you mix it up?

For myself, I enjoy the biome progression and will probably continue to play forest, burnt, desert, snow, wasteland order and follow the progression of the traders and questing. I do prefer crafting my own gear over finding better than I can craft loot and for the most part I can stay ahead with my magazines if I follow the progression.

Ill be doing the same but exploring the biomes without the protection gear If I can

Personally, I love the Desert biome (be it for the pleasant lighting or because it's easier to spot things) so I'd immediately try to go there.

The wasteland and burnt biomes honestly are depressing in the long term, but I could bear going there just for a quick mission or to get some special resources or loot (and of course to see Jen! ).
