Addressed Suggestion: Have a discord

Yeah, I think having a discord server ( that is free no matter how large ) would be a great idea.
Please do consider this https://discordapp.com/

 

Although it's a good idea, I feel that mumble is much more reliable and does alot more of the same things discord does. sure it dosent look super clean and crisp, but that's not what it's for. We already have a dedicated list of mumble admins and you can quite easily see who is in the mumble by just looking at the different channels. I am not 100% positive on my next statement so don't take iit as fact, but as I understand discord is a free to use service while Joe has paid or does pay for the use of our mumble ( correct me if I'm wrong) so maybe the switch would be worth while in the end.

 

Come to think of it having a public discord server could make it alot easier for regulars and players to connect and talk with staff.

 

I think any idea to open more doors for communication is a good idea. Obviously not literally ever door because that would be a nightmare to moderate, but discord has been growing in popularity alot and it seems like alot of people are asking for it.

 

I love discord, I use it everyday and i'm always on it and i'd love for HG to have one : )

 

Same with me, I'm always on discord.

Bonus Suggestion: You could setup a bot to alert staff of !calladmin reports.

 

Is there not already something to alert people of calladmins?

 

I use discord almost exclusivly, and it is alot easier to set up and use for new people. I think HG needs a Discord server.

 

Mumble I used to like once but its a bit tough to roam around and not much user-friendly for a beginner. But if you talking bout Discord. Oh brother, let me tell you.

Discord
1. Discord has first groups. Groups in the sense like Admins, Staff, Donators and much more. Add to that, it's much much easier to find out who is an admin of now or not. Compared to Mumbler which is just a few names (6 only people were there last time I joined) and you don't know who is what ranking.

2. Room Division. Basically, some people share memes, music and stuff. Like talks, gaming and etc. So CHAT rooms are divided as per Hashtags like #talks, #music, #memes and so on. As for voice chat, people can easily go to different rooms. Perhaps for a casual game? Or trading privately or some stuff. An Admin Private Voice chatting room with the staff?

3. Much user-friendly due to its big size, and chats. And when using "/" in chat, you could find the many options to use. Even get you own emotes into it or play around with bots.

4. You can ban or mute users based on how they act by locking rooms to certain users while opening. Even restricting count of how many users you would like in one room or not.

I know cause I use a lot of Discord CHAT with friends while playing Casuals and stuffs. Just get one link, add in, done. Mumble....its confusing. Address, portal, Naming. Its...ugh.

Agreed. I, for example, didn't know there was a Harpoon discord server until now.

 

Yes! Finally!
