    Does Language affect matchmaking?

    It has been claimed that if you change your language you will attack different people due to servers and such. For example if I chose Norsk, I would be more likely to get Norwegians. I dont think your language setting has anything to do with matchmaking, but can anyone confirm or disprove this claim? Thx

    I believe it does. I'm not sure what the technicalities of it are though.
    I said I would be back...

    I've heard this claim/rumor as well but haven't tested myself. I, too, would be curious to hear if anyone did try it themselves, however I doubt its validity.

    Yes

    I believe it do affect the players you will encounter, because me as a mexican almost all the time I find bases with mexicans names and sometimes american names. And i have never find a base with chinese or arabian names.

    Even if it does, do you think posting on forum is going to help our cause?

    Just checked for myself. There seems to be some validity. Encountered significantly more german names when i set the language to german.

    no,but if this is true, it means you can change language to find better loot in places where their timezone is at night

    It's not a new rumour. It has worked for me in the past but of course matchmaking is always quite random so who knows for sure. In Greek I found an old clan mate that was from the US so it doesn't mean it matches you with people from the language you choose. The idea is that if there is a high concentration of farmers in peak times on English, you can change servers to find untouched loots on less popular language servers. It's all hypothetical because nobody knows how the matchmaking works exactly especially with how the language interacts with the servers. I doubt you'll see SuperSteve popping in here confirming anything regarding this... lol
