I usually play US servers, but I was up late last night and joined a German server for the first time because there were few US servers at 4am. It was Industrial Sabotage on Glacial Strata. Im PL 45, host was PL 1656 and the other guy was 650ish. When I joined I did the usual R&S greeting and got no R&S response. Ok, no big deal. Then another random joins and did R&S greeting, I reply R&S, they still dont reply. Later on, the other random is mining a gold vein and suddenly disappears (I thought he left, but later realized he was kicked for no reason).

We progress and make it to a massive room in the cave and we are at the top of a really high cliff. The two of them are just standing on top of the cliff for a good 20 seconds just looking down at the room. Im waiting for the gunner to set up a zipline so we can get down but he doesnt. Then one of them stars pickaxing a staircase in the cliff to get down. As the driller, I figured id help him since its way faster. I drill the staircase in a few seconds and once were at the ground I get kicked...

Moral of the story: Never play on german servers. Theyre anal about every little thing if it isnt done exactly the way they think it should. (On the bright side I joined a French server right after and had a blast with some funny French dwarves)

Never play with the devs. They’re terrible and you’ll have to carry them through the entire Deep Dive, while they spend time reading the Stream chat instead of playing.

That said, don’t generalize an entire country based on a bad experience.

Edit: oh, and thread locked.
