rus. Greetings, comrades.)
I want to raise the problem of currently used Cyrillic font once more, but now here, in the General ESO Discussion section, because it seems, that almost no one checks
the Bug Section of the forum.
Not long ago there was
a thread on the forum about this particular problem and... many loosely connected to the topic problems, which worries our "western partners" a lot, but it was thrown to the trash can in the end. Literally, it's gone. I guess, it wasn't civil enough or something.
Right, to the point now. As all people here probably knows, since the update 2.5 the game supports Cyrillic alphabet. The problem with the font devs decided to use one can see in the screenshots below.
On the left one can see current font used in the game, on the right, the Cyrillic font with
an addon, that fixes this problem for PC users, though console users don't have such luxury.
This font is so bad, that sometimes it even forces some people to say unpleasant things about the Russian community in the whole. But even smart enough people find such font rather distracting, even those who know the language, but for some reasons don't have the addon installed. Maybe some people find it shocking, but Russian speaking players use it for the same purpose as "Latin" people do, to communicate with each other. Consider also, that there are almost no complains about, for example, French and Deutsch messages in the English chat. I think, the main reason for that is the
sprawling Cyrillic font. К и р и л л и ц а , you see?
I think, it must be changed. It would be better for all if devs apply
such a small fix next patch. Also, I hope, that this humble request will not be ignored again.
Also, considering the growing population Russian speaking players (mostly because of
the Russian localization, the result of selfless labor of enthusiasts), it would be wise to add /ru zone chat.
And one more thing, comrades. The Russian language is not the only one, which uses the Cyrillic letters. I'll give you at least two extra examples, but there are
more.
