Chat and Mudspike Discord

[fearlessfrog]

I think it’s a good app, nice voip client and handy for pick-up games etc. I don’t think anyone at Mudspike cares that much if people go there instead, as it’s not like we run ads or have sponsorship here - the site is out of @BeachAV8R’s wallet and some donations.

I do forget to use Discord though, so the the group that is set up is more for people who’d like to use it rather than chat here - it’s all good. The web chat thing we have on the forum here, if it wasn’t for @near_blind, I’d probably just turn off as it’s fragile for software updates we do and has issues working with Firefox etc.

Do I need to go find more hostages?

Chat going away isn’t the end of the world, but I wouldn’t see myself ever moving to discord. I can’t use it at work, and generally speaking if I’m being social and not at work, I’m on the TS server.

I’ve added a bot to our Discord app channel to integrate posts from here to there. It allows people that are into Discord and have it running all the time to see activity on these forums without the trauma of opening a web browser or something.

Here’s a preview of what it looks like in Discord:

The exquisite red arrows point out the new bits of the bot and the topic previews over there.

We’ve had no activity on the Discord group for a while now, so in a swirl of end-of-year tidy-up we’re going to remove it.

The Mudspike Discord group will be removed on Dec 31st 2018.

Feel free to use this topic for invites etc if you want to keep in touch with others in that group.

aww that’s to bad. I honestly liked the forum bot that alerted us when a new topic was made.

So, if we want to engage in MP with voice comms, we need to either set up our own server/channel or join a squad? Nothing wrong with this, I just want to understand the SOP. Thanks.

For people that already have Discord servers, they are welcome to post invite links here if they want people to join. Alternatively people can use PM’s to just invite others privately.

[chipwich]

Alles klar Fearless. Understood.

There is always the Mudspike Teamspeak

I thought that only the Discord was being removed

Teamspeak 3 Server

We’ve run a teamspeak server for (looks up, checks date) over four years now and we’ve decided to call it a day. It takes time and money to keep going, and it often sits empty. Of the three original Mudspike Founders, Erik was always keen on MP and it is something that @BeachAV8R and I don’t do a lot of. The server itself is often used by small groups that don’t use or contribute to our forums, and there are lots of free alternatives around to fill this gap now. Social networks like https://dis…

So just to be sure, who is in charge of the discord now? I believe it’s @Fridge? Could you be so kind and activate the explicit content filter on discord please? We’re constantly being asked out on dates

[komemiute]

Hey speak for yourself!
I just found out there are lots of hot single girls who wants to date me in my area!

So gamer chicks dig gamer fighter pilots? Who would’ve thought

We are sexier than those WASD guys.

Rhine created a Discord channel for those of us that play R6, Rocket League, Golf Club 2019.

No matter what game we play, the voice comms are way way way way too low. We have to jack our volumes to max and turn down in-game sounds to almost nothing to hear anything.

Personally, I’ve played with all the settings regarding codecs, etc and boosting other people’s mics.

Anybody else have similar issues? Anybody know how to overcome this?

Thanks.

[Freak]

Turn down your game master volume?

[Hardtale]

I’m not sure but I can ask around. Are you using the client or the web browser?

RB6 Terrorist Hunts or competitive?
