Fluxy got a reaction from Lucy in Thoughts on Discord so far?
So thought I would make this thread so people can discuss the discord trail, what they like what they dont like and so on.
For me, pros first.
Big bonus to community integration, very easy to talk with other members even while we are in our separate channels. Likely going to be easier to get other new people to join a discord rather than a team speak. I like the social side of things, you can see what music people are listening to, what games they are playing. All very nice. Many cool features like auto embedding of links and bots Cons so far
Biggest one, and potential deal breaker. Voice quality. While it is definitely not bad; coming from using teamspeak for the past like 6 years you really notice it, some people sound really different and others having difficulty getting their mics to pick up correctly and not having background noise. Some people have said we can like, boost the server with premium discord but I for one don't think thats a great solution. This is purely subjective but I personally do not like the UI very much, teamspeak is much more clear to see who is where and what is going on. Notification sounds are pretty annoying but having them off isnt great either. Teamspeak notification sounds much more minimal (the tiny ding when someone types) and informative (user left your channel, user disconnected from the server) Another V large issue, several people including myself have noticed very small amounts of frame lag or stutter in games like CS when discord has been open. All in all, im absolutely committed to seeing out the trail because I think the platform has many benefits but I'm not sold on it just yet. If I can't get used to the voice quality over the course of a week I'd be gunning for a return to the ol' TS.

Fluxy reacted to gaffeR in Classic WoW Faction/Server Type
TBH with OB's possible move to Discord and the idea of a guild, we could make OB great again without mintlou.
