I don't know if I should transfer or not...Follow

Okay so here's the deal. I'm on a Japanese legacy server, Durandal, and for the most part have been quite happy. The community here is nice, I've made good friends, and I've been able to do all of the content, even Titan, with only a tiny bit of difficulty. So long as I'm on top of everything I can dodge the attacks of enemies. Now here's the rub: I had invited my friend from England who I've been friends with for years to join the server way back at release. Somewhat recently, we did Titan story mode, and that's where we hit the big issue. Despite having clearly dodged Titan she'd been knocked off the platform twice during our attempts. That's where the issue for both of us, though less for me lies; should we transfer to an NA legacy server where we supposedly will have a much better connection for content? For me it's very hard to decide. I love being on the Japanese server, being able to practice Japanese as I interact with Japanese players who are almost always polite and very friendly to be around. Part of me is worried that I'd be sacrificing that great community and the friends I'd made on Durandal (I love Japan and would miss playing with them) in exchange for a better connection, but also a community of entitled American (I'm also American) ******** who treat you like **** if you don't do everything perfectly and have the gall and audacity to actually enjoy the storyline's cutscenes. I just don't know what I should do...

I am on Coeurl (NA), and while crowding isn't an issue (albeit latency can be a problem with Camp Dragonhead FATEs as far as enemies showing up) I have also encountered my share of impoliteness, at least with DoW folks. The crafters are a good group, but it's hit or miss getting through a dungeon without some elitist running their mouth. I just don't think it can be avoided in the self centric soceity we have here. If not for latency I would be going to JP as I have always liked their culture, but at this point I'm just going to stick it out with liberal blacklisting.

I thought the legacy servers were among the most crowded?

Call her "noob" and dump her.

In all seriousness, you gave a ton of reasons why you shouldn't leave and only one why you should. Does the one outweigh the many?


inb4 He transfers to NA group and when he gets knocked off the platform on Titan, she dumps him

I dont really know if you should transfer or not. But I will say that as a level 32 Tank I do my best to be a good leader to the groups im in, as tanks are often looked to lead. Im sure theres many bad players, most likely as you hit endgame more, but in my experience I have had only good parties so far and I like to think Im doing my part in making them so by both coming prepared and setting the example with a good attitude.

Perhaps its time for people who enjoy this game and its players to take leader roles rather than following those who have simply hit endgame first and want the power and control that comes from leadership rather than using it to help others and create a better community.

My wife was sitting next to me when we did Titan story. She had the same issue. My computer is pretty beefy, her's is getting an upgrade because I'm tired of waiting on load times and during fates in crowded areas I get way more exp than she does cause it takes them forever to load. The issue your friend is having could be more of a computer issue than a location of servers. I watched her run out of the hit zones immediately and still got knocked back almost every time. I ended up telling her to just run towards Titan and I healed her up. She kept trying to dodge but almost always got hit. The tank whined but i never ran out of mana and healed the fight no problem.
