It's like skype and teamspeak had an incredibly handsome baby. Oh it also lets you use text to speech to talk to people and it can replace a lot of stuff like overwolf teamspeak such and such for the average folk. It can't outright replace anything but its a one stop shop. Plus it doesn't take itself too seriously, HEAVILY community driven, and has a sense of humor.

But I don't think it can do video or call phones. You can though have a hundred people in a room and not get alerted unless mentioned by name. I'm aware of what Discord is. I just don't think we have a server. We could probably make one... Might be convienient, and it would be yet another reason to get me to finally bother installing it. The anti-Skype Group might like that too, since it'd basically be our counterpart to them.

Unless it has colored text and a good way to search through old messages, I don't think the RPs would survive there. Besides, I think the two have different purposes. The Thread would be better for longer posts, general discussion, etc. The Discord would be better for quick communication, and if we ever manage to start a Nexus game server again and not have it die rapidly.

Logs aren't an issue, the 500 page threads here are just as unreasonable to sift through. I'm referring to the fact that Discord allows us to partition discussions far better than Skype. Within a single discord server you can have a dozen or more text and voice channels for different discussions, with rules stickied onto chat channels as needed. It also supports native content embedding and uploading, with a slightly easier to read "online now" list than the forum.

I believe this was the reasoning behind the last chat room. We all know how that turned out. Technically speaking for general discussion a real time chat like Discord has every advantage over a forum like this. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I can't find a colored text command, Discord is made for many things but RP isn't one of them.

I mean I'm not saying moving the RPs couldn't be done. I'm saying that is probably better it isn't. And I'm mostly just worried that if General Discussion leaves the forum, the rest of it will collapse afterward. And yeah by the rest of it I mostly mean the RPs, the user-made content threads (which I know don't really get a lot of attention or stuff posted in the first place) and any possibility of new members.

Anyways Heroes of the Storm is intended as a MOBA boiled down to it's purest essence, teamfights and lanefights, it's a big blobby no-nonsense mess of heroes beating the tar out of each other, at least that was the sales pitch. In practice the no-nonsense part doesn't hold up, each hero has a non-linear progression where you choose one of 3-4 perks every couple of levels, and the perks you can choose from varies depending on the milestone you're hitting, so no going back for that damage increase after you get lifesteal, and each map has a unique "gimmick" to try and spice up gameplay, though they all boil down to "do X to rapidly burn down the enemy towers" "do X to summon a giant monster that burns down the enemy towers/heroes for you" and "do X to absolutely turbofuck the enemy towers so you can burn them down" I'm sensing a slight pattern. I digress though, the teamfights are delivered very well, without any pressure to level the right abilities or buy the right items it just comes down to using your hero's kit to beat the tar out of the enemy in some mad furball of a teamfight, and what complexity there is in the game of teamfighting and pushing lanes serves only to make it less of a pain in the ass. Ah HotS. Worse gameplay than League, and still a less greedy pay system.

Some people legitimately complain about the goofy loading messages and weird sense of humor of Discord as if it's a serious problem. If the messages on the freaking loading animation are bothering you, you probably shouldn't be on the internet. I mean seriously. I get some of the (totally dank) memes might get a bit old or annoying, but is this really what you want the devs to prioritize? Removing a little bit of flavour text that lots of people like or can ignore completely that only appears for a few seconds? But personally I find the whole sense of humor in Discord to be great. But I'm a pleb who likes memes and nonsense so bleh. (In case it wasn't obvious, I ended up getting Discord. Amusingly, the decision had almost nothing to do with the discussion earlier, but rather something completely unrelated in an MMO.) Edit: My liking memes may have been awakened to a higher level due to [/o\ REDACTED /o\] from The Secret World... Who basically speaks using memes, internet lingo, and references... Which is also unrealted, despite TSW being an MMO. Boy, lots of unrelated stuff being tangentially linked today. Tonight? Yesterday? It's 3 AM I should probably sleep. Whoops.
