Starting today, our Australian players will see a super secret special thing called Discord Nitro available in their app. Why Australia? We sometimes test features to make sure things are good before releasing them to the world. So yea. Shhh ;)[/QUOTE] they also showed off more free features coming soon, like video chat support, audit logs for moderation, chat categories, etc. [url]https://blog.discordapp.com/year-end-teaser-search-screen-share-video-chat-audit-logs-and-channel-organization/[/url]
Removing animated avatars and you can now buy them back Hammer & Chis[b]EA[/b]l
so thats what popped up on discord when i turned on my pc huh and hey, finally us aussie fuckers get something first
I hope they keep their paid features reasonable (or, at least, don't take features away from the base app). I'm a huge fan of Discord, and I'd hate to see it weighed down by exorbitant fees for basic features. I don't care about not having dumb shit like animated avatars, but imposing, say, a member limit for servers would be a bit too far IMO.

Seems pretty reasonable to me.
Discord is exactly what I expected from something like teamspeak but doesn't have a terrible UI. Real happy to see it getting more popular each day.

Truth be told, i wouldn't have any issues with giving some money to this. I haven't had any problems from day one.
[QUOTE=Scratch.;51571566][t]http://imagenes.es.sftcdn.net/es/scrn/32000/32023/3_xfire1.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] ayy bring this joint back!
I might do a subscription so I can use all the stupid emotes I made in specific servers everywhere.
I'd buy it, it's a really solid app. Perks are reasonable too
please don't become corrupt. discord is one of the best things i've ever used.

I haven't had any problems from day one.[/QUOTE] Multiple issues with memory leaks and even caused Garry's Mod and other games to do weird things if i kept Discord running for too long. Mind you, I almost never restart my PC Also the UI is weird and ""modern"" and the notifications are annoying as hell, as well as the group chats. Don't they even cache the messages somewhere? Finally no windows phone app

[QUOTE=Octopod;51571658]please don't become corrupt. discord is one of the best things i've ever used.[/QUOTE] They've taken money from [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent]Tencent[/url] (China's Internet Megacorperation), while this couldn't mean much right now, and they want to remain a startup. There's a sign pointing that Tencent have some form of interest in the platform. That's right now the current worst case scenario, since a business transfer includes giving whatever they have hosted to this mega-collection of data They also own Riot, and part of Epic games, if that makes you feel better or worse
My biggest issue with Discord is that it's impossible to create private channels similar to Teamspeak. I want the ability to have a channel where I can put on a password, and only certain people can get in, and then be able to see the chatlogs and the like. The reason for this is quiet simple, if you are say playing GModRP, it's impossible to share private information with the current Discord. It just simply doesn't work out.

Honestly, it just seems like something that would be done for ease of use.
[QUOTE=lNloruzenchi;51571686](this doesn't really apply as much to me since my cpu is shite while my gpu is decent)[/QUOTE] not ruling out discord as the sole cause of your frame drops, but personally i haven't experienced anything major to the point where i have to start pointing fingers to these small programs it probably runs off chromium like every other web-to-desktop app i've seen, so maybe it's eating your memory.

(running applications, to determine your current playing game; keyboard shortcuts etc.) Learn the truth Ctrl+Shift+J On the topic of ripoff, Slack got Video Calling not even a week ago

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;51571695]Tons of folks do, including combining up voice channels with chat channels if requested. Honestly, it just seems like something that would be done for ease of use.[/QUOTE] For now you can just assign a special role to people to view hidden channels exclusive to that role.

I'd hate for it to be something where non-payers get the bare minimum shit and you'll eventually need to pay to even upload avatars or files
[QUOTE=Octopod;51571705]if discord does the same i'm uninstalling skype i swear to god[/QUOTE] It will, very soon, it's already in the source code.
