Like that alone is a reason to be on discord over Teamspeak. It's actually so good. Uh I don't really do the bots but I know theirs some other useful ones Agreed Quote Share this post Link to post

Skeff 289 Posted August 30, 2019 Some good points raised here. Here are my thoughts Pros Stand alone text channels give the community a better opportunity for integration. This means players in different subgroups can find it easier to interact, inactive players have more opportunities to interact and new players can enter a more central chat. This is my main argument for discord. I think discords UI is much friendlier and more detailed than teamspeak. Joining in with a discord community is much easier and less daunting than teamspeak. Embedded media is great. It removes the extra faff that sharing media comes with on teamspeak. The availability of discord bots can really enhance a server. Whilst you could argue teamspeak can have more functionality, where do we actually make use of it? Most gamers use discord these days. Keeping the community available on discord really improves the likelihood of new players sticking with us. Cons The community is still using discord like teamspeak. I think the number and use of each channel can be groomed to improve how we use the server and text chats be utilised more, for example minor achievements could be posted there. Maybe I have missed a button but it frustates me how discord always marks everything as unread, even when you have a server on mute. It's a quick fix to mark as read but it still grinds my gears. I think I'd rather have some chat history than nothing. The community still needs to get used to discord. There are many differences between the two softwares such as audio notifications. It doesn't take long to get used to these. There have been reports of lagg. There are some settings such as game overlay you can turn off which improves performance. I've been using discord for years and have had little performance issues with the application itself. Standard voice quality in discord is lower than teamspeak, which I understand is a big issue for some people. Perhaps I've spent too long away from teamspeak but I think discords voice is fine, it's really not far behind teamspeak and there are things we can do to improve it. Whilst it takes 50 boosts to get the best quality, it only takes 2 to double the quality and 10 to quadruple it, which is not beyond the realms of possibility for Outbreak. I think discord is the most appropriate platform for Outbreak to be on right now. It's improved community integration gives it the edge over teamspeak and whilst the default voice quality isn't as good it is still fit for purpose and doesn't require much to improve. I think going back to teamspeak will keep the community in a stagnant state whilst sticking with discord will open opportunities for an active community. Quote Share this post Link to post

Quinn 643 Posted August 31, 2019 Another suggestion would be to disable bot commands in the vc linked channels and make it so people have to use the bot commands channel, it means you dont get notified for people adding stuff to the music bot and you can leave the linked channel unmuted for links and chat etc without having to hear notifications for people checking the queue adding new songs etc 1 Skeff reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
