Migration from Teamspeak to Discord

Lmao! :roflmao:

I'll have you know that somehow dMw is fully accessible in China.

Clearly they have not seen the LAN photos or anything posted by GhostMjr, ever.

This is awesome news!
I generally prefer discord just because on the in built overlay so you can match voices to names.

TS wants you to use Overwolf which is too much In Your Face and the only alternative plugin isn't well maintained and breaks when TS changes API.

Unfortunately from the Ark trial we have found the overlay to be very hit or miss as it works for some and not for others and in my case sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.  It's a great feature when it does work and I miss it when it doesn't.

Dead Men Walking are now using Discord as our preferred VoIP platform.

Details on how to be invited to our server can be found here.

On behalf of the Council I would like to thank all who tested and fed back their findings to aid in the decision making process.

We appreciate that Discord is not perfect. The size of the Windows app and the lack of whisper channels being particularly irksome. However, the vast majority of you have made us feel positive about making the move.

A few early voice-related issues were quickly sorted out along with a nice tweak allowing the resizing of the app window. Details for these will be posted in a separate thread to aid others hitting the same issues.

We will be investigating the use of bots to, for example, announce the name of the user entering/leaving the channel. We're hoping that bots can be produced in-house so that we do not have to rely on 3rd parties to maintain them or worry about their permissions etc.

A couple of things to impress upon you all before you all run off to play.

Dead Men Walking has a hard-earned reputation for mature attitudes, fair play and mutual respect. Our ethos is what makes us who we are and is what sets us above the vast majority of other gaming groups who revel in being dickheads whilst hiding behind the anonymity of the internet. Our Discord server will be moderated so  please read and absorb this post.

Please keep all general banter to the beer_bar channels. The text channels within the game sections should only contain game-related chatter.

Smashing job all involved in this move. I think it's already showing to be a very solid improvement all round. Thanks!

Yep thanks as always for the behind the scenes work boys and girls, it is much appreciated!
