Voice Comms in a squad situation is a game changer. Discord makes it so easy to setup and invite on the fly you can even invite random hero's you run into on the field of glory! Just a quick video I threw together while I was trying Discord for the first time. Not polished but it gets the job done. Honestly, it's so easy to use you probably won't need help. For the less tech-savvy folks, or if you want a quick tour before you bother...here you go  Thanks to HEATHEN HERETIC for the suggestion |

Awesome! Any video of it being used in game? Planning to get some this weekend during the test server sessions.... I used to lead WOW Raids and an EVE corp back in the day. Hopefully, I am older, wiser and more patient now so I won't sound like this guy anymore .... (WARNING VIDEO CONTAINS LOTS OF SWEARING) |

I have yet to use it but have a quick question. I play off of a mobile device. If I use earphones with that microphone on the cord will that suffice? Or would I need to get an actual microphone/headset? Thanks in advance for any comments.

Supposedly it works with the mic on your device as you would use your speaker phone. If not I'll have to go to town and get me a headset. The one I got won't plug into my devices. Too old. The insert's too small. |

You may hear me make some noises though. Tongue biting is painful. ? |

That's cool. I've been wishing I could communicate to other players at times. Though colorful language might fill some ears at times. Currently I'm not in a clan etc.

All three of my Daughters grew up on the graduated word system so they all understands that not all words are for all ages, they get it, they are smart cookies. |

I just love this app. Your situational awareness is increased by a huge margin. The ability to coordinate pushes and such ingame changes the balance in your team's favor tremendously when facing regular squads and such. You can let someone know they're about to be flanked. A beacon needs to be taken. You're about to lose your sh*t because your bot is broken. And your teammates can react accordingly. Like I said, I just love this. Had a blast using it in the test server with [KOMM] Machine clan's Shaolin Rogue, vivaleresistance and Rogue's unaffiliated daughter DaughterofSparta(sometimes known as dangerousgases) last evening. By the way, if you squad against her be warned, she kicks butt. And the ability to get to know your clan or teammates is a huge plus, increasing your social experience. No more typing and the like, just say it. You can let others know you need to change your hanger, go pee, eat, whatever. Even old men with nagging wives will like it(you know who you are). Jame-thonEarbuds or headset work just fine. No problems.? @ Everyone On my tablet I found I could adjust the ingame effects volume and hear my teammates very clearly. There are 3 volume control options on my Tab4, Notifications, Media and System. Another Phone volume option appears when I initiate the Discord app. I just adjusted the Media volume to low or off and set the Phone volume where it was comfortable. If you don't do this you'll be hearing only the games effects and drowning out your teammates voices. I'm not sure if it works on a phone though. I'm assuming if it's built into the app that you might be able to do the same. Same for running the app on a PC using an Android or iOS emulator. But it is just an assumption on my part. If you do use it in either of those circumstances please let everyone know if it does work like I described it doing on my tablet or not. Useful information should be shared. Happy hunting. ? |
