I've heard good things about the players on the Japanese servers, so I bounced over there. Played for a while on V-Hard, and yeah, my Japanese isn't so good, but they didn't talk too much and basically blitzed thru most stages. After a while a player came in who's name had RiOT in it. I knew immediately it can't be a Japanese player, and when he started with "anyone have..." and didn't seeem to have a clue what the Japanese players were saying.. I knew it was gonna be trouble.
So we get to D.Falz. RiOT seems to be an average idiot, yelling at people for taking small amounts of money and items he is too slow to get (I mean ROOMS away and stuff). But at D.Falz he seems to be playing fairly, I mean he's dying every 2 seconds (as opposed to my 3 seconds) but he's pitching in with damage and reviving. Then.. WAM. Swipes a Varista off a player and drops. The Japanese player was furious. Of course we got clobbered by Falz.
So I go thru my stash, no Varistas. I really felt bad so I dropped my Dragon Slayer (that I can't use) at her feet. In return I got a replacement for my lost gun (a better one actually), and a bunch of items I couldn't use but had good value at the shops. More than the Dragon Slayer, that's for sure.
In the end we went back and actually beat Falz (not me really, I got a shot or two in between insta-deaths and was dead at the end so no XP). I found a Varista in a box and I gave it to that player.
I can see how the Japanese players must feel playing on US servers. The language barrier is bad enough (and the word select thing is clunky). But compared to them, we have ALOT of bad apples on the servers. Now they gotta deal with our bad apples going over to THEIR servers. Oy!
