Arashikage 429 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 There's a chat program called Discord, which can be found here https://discordapp.com/. It's a much easier and group chat friendly client, and is getting a game overlay soon! We hope that you will try it. It's not just a downloadable program, but it works in a browser as well. To join the official SFO Discord chat, follow this link. https://discord.gg/KjD8yxr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clearwater 386 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Sounds pretty sweet. If it's also cross-compatible with the Steam game overlay, then TF2 competitive gameplay, here I come! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ori 479 Report post Posted February 4, 2016 Oh, yeah! I was about to suggest this but I wasn't sure if people were better fond of the Skype chat(s) here. I never really got around to properly use Skype thanks to some random technical issues and how it'd slow my connections and games to a crawl. '~' Discord so far seems pretty versatile especially for those who don't really want the trouble of downloading anything. I personally like the app and its performance cost isn't really big. They also have Battle.Net, Twitch and YT integration in the works, so I can see some Steam integration coming soon-ish. Joined just now, same name as here.

Hidi 273 Report post Posted February 6, 2016 Not a big fan of Discord at the moment. It is still a new program, things can be improved. While I like that it is basically Slack with voice chat (Slack has cool chat gimmicks, the ability to add separate channels, and use plugins), I don't like the program's lack of customization. Mumble allows me to change an array of settings, up to how I minimize and close the program. Discord on the other hand, treats me like an idiot and allows little option for change. Thankfully, it's much faster to close and restart when it gets glitchy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also Skype doesn't allow for the same customization you want either, yet you're on that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidi 273 Report post Posted February 6, 2016 I hate Skype too, and in the earlier days of the SF-O Skype chat I was hardly in the channel because I rarely had Skype open. I've started using it for other things, so I keep it open most of the time nowadays. What I would give for Skype to at least have push to talk... Skype is probably best in terms of accessibility since everyone knows what Skype is. My preferred platform would be Mumble, but I'm probably the only one here who likes Mumble, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xortberg 445 Report post Posted February 6, 2016 Skype does have push to talk. You just have to enable it in the options. Also it's more like "push to toggle mute" so you have to mute yourself to use it, then just temporarily unmute while pushing. It's had that feature for years.

fanfictiondreamer 194 Report post Posted September 16, 2018 Yeah....Discord seems to be the only thing about (actually related to) this site that's active. This site has been going slow and I have been using it very often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This site has been going slow and I have been using it very often. The relative quietness can be partly attributed to a site software switch that's in the works, to be completed sometime in the future. The instant gratification of Discord does tend to attract a wide audience as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
