Please note that as part of a wider initiative, we will be trialling Discord on the Ark Servers. This will replace the ARK TS Channel for the time being.

So, please see Oldie's post below on how to install, run and join.

Any feedback on Discord following the trial would be useful.

Thanks

Server details

With Discord started click the + in the left-hand side (it's in a dotted circle).

Choose 'Join a Server'

Paste in this link: https://discord.gg/s5EcDJ3

Unless you've already been accepted then you will be in invite_me_text where you should paste the following message:

@Discord Admin  Invite me please.

This will message all of the online Discord admins who will duly accept your request.

Your Discord username must match your forum name so that we can be confident that only community members are accessing our Discord server.

As Pen has stated - please feedback any problems so that we can iron them out before we roll-out to all.

Gents

I know a couple of you have had various sound issues that you've managed to resolve. For the benefit of all could you please make a reply stating the issue you experienced and how you resolved it? Thanks.

I'm stumbling on the first hurdle, pasting @Discord Admin Invite me please.
That's difficult as I don't have posting privileges in the #invite_me_text channel.

Not that it's very urgent for me just yet as I'm not playing Ark. Just thought I'd mention it if you're ironing out bugs :D

We've been playing with the permissions so thanks for being the guinea pig :D

Worked. I also like how non-members can post but not read, and members can read but not post. Prevents it from becoming a chat channel or someone misposting :)

The tinkering is over for the night, normality has returned.  Any problems that remain are therefore your own and nothing to do with us!  :roflmao:

Any more feedback?

Some early issues which I believe have been sorted (shout if not) but on the whole I got the impression that members were happy with the quality, ease of use and facilities.

Our 'ARK only' trial attracted a lot more people than just ARK players so we have a much higher number to get feedback from. From what I've read in the various text channels there were members who had issues but most if not all have been resolved. The size of the app is a common complaint and one which needs a bit more investigating.

I had whisper channels setup to talk to the overwatch game admins when running the wednesday night overwatch games, which helped with balancing etc, does discord have a similar feature?  basically a configurable button to press to voice chat with 2 or more people at once that may or maynot be in the same voice chat channel as you.

Agree that Whisper channels would be a terrific addition.

Ah yes this entirely slipped my mind, but as Gunda said was very useful! Voted, let's hope it comes to the service one day soon! :)
