AD Discord Channel

Crown

Since it got buried in a thread about AD leadership, I'm making a new thread with the details here.

None of the attempts to ever set up inter-group/guild comms have ever worked well or lasted for long (AD side at least). Hopefully this will be better. If not, at least it'll introduce more people to Discord and save some money for those still paying for comms services. Discord is sort of like the brain child of Skype, TS, and Mumble.

----
For those looking to communicate in Cyrodiil outside of zone chat or just talk/type about PvP, we've created a Discord server.

There are channels for leaders to communicate, and others for anyone in AD to use for comms (currently one for each campaign) accessible only to those with the "AD Player" tag.

It's open to everyone, though in order to join the AD channels you'll need to be given permissions from one of the AD Leaders (only a few joined so far, many more to come).

If you're an AD player, please hop into the "I Need Permissions" room and someone will give them to you when they notice you.

If you're a DC or EP player, you're welcome in general chat/voice (we have tags for your faction too) but not in the AD channels.

If there are campaigns on other platforms that are missing, let someone know in general chat and they'll be added.

If you don't already have Discord installed, you can download it from : https://discord.gg

To join us, you can use this link https://discord.gg/mrAUfGh or in your Discord client click the +, then Join a Server, then use the code mrAUfGh

When did you decide to come back?

Incidentally, I have tried for two years to get as many DC guilds as possible to communicate in real time with one another. Sadly, it has always failed.

@God_flakes I've logged in once every few weeks since I stopped playing - mostly being social. This past weekend it was raining and I didn't have much to do, so logged in and ran with some old friends for a few hours and had a lot of fun. I'm probably not going to be back playing regularly, though I will log on more often. I missed the people, not so much the game..

Since the start of the game, we also had a lot of different attempts to get all of AD leadership into one guild for comms, and every time it failed due to politics, clashing personalities, or other human-relevant reasons.

I was talking with a few people who were lamenting the lack of comms and difficulties in dealing with zone chat - and the Discord idea resulted. I've set up quite a few, so was nominated to do so for this as well. It may help, it may not, but one significant benefit is getting everyone that you play with in one list - make it easier to communicate outside the game and in future games (CU anyone?).. Even if you're DC or EP, if you're friendly with anyone and want to be able to communicate outside the game, this is a great way to enable that for future.

All really great ideas! I hope DC follows your lead because if we don't we will get crushed. A well organized and communicating AD would be merciless.

@God_flakes I was actually considering making a set of relevant DC and EP channels, to get all players able to hang in one server - but each with their own faction-only areas. I think it would probably end up failing due to permissions limitations - the "leaders" of one faction would still be able to modify permissions for the "players" of other factions..

Would have to be very cautious picking said DC leader. It would absolutely have to be someone who isn't even involved in pvp so as not to bring bias and hard feelings and strained relations. But I like your optimism and glad you're back. You're one of the only AD leaders I've ever had respect for. And I hope if you get AD power up you take the fight to EP!

The reason these things have failed in the past is people have tried to tell other people where they should go. Different people play the game differently.

The communication between guilds should only be to inform each other where you are intending to take your group, so that multiple guilds don't leave the front line to respond to resources flipping at fare. Suggesting idea's is ok, but can quickly lead to people trying to tell other people what to do and turns into chaos.

Great idea Nait, I personally switched to discord recently for Arcane and it is just a really awesome service, definitely prefer it over TS now.

Discord is pretty great. Wish PS4 had something similar.
