Interface!
My Opinion on Discord!
I've been testing it for a week now, here is my personal opinion about discord.

The Interface:
When I first opened discord I was blown away by the interface, especially when compared to TeamSpeak. It's really easy to get used to and simple in a beautiful way.

The Text Chat:
The chat is extremely intuitive and useful.
Within a server you're able to create multiple text chats, by using the @ symbol which will notify people. For example use "@Admin" and all the admins will get a notification that they have been mentioned in the chat.

The Voice Chat:
I never had a problem with the voice chat. It's super clear.
If you use the ingame overlay you can even change peoples mic volume without leaving the game.

The Community and the Team behind it:
The community is great! You can post suggestions and feedback on
their website[feedback.discordapp.com] and vote/comment on the ones posted by other users.
I also love the concept of creating as many server as you want for free. Well done developers.
This alone beats TeamSpeak already in my opinion.

My Final Thoughts:
You can tell that I absolutely adore and support the project and the team behind it!
Give it a try, we have 2016 and in my opinion this is the only up to date voice chat platform for gamers.

The only Downsite:
If you play mainly with a group of friends or with your clan you should definitely check it out.
However, since the program is pretty new compared to TeamSpeak not as many people use it.
So if you constantly play with new people it might me better to stick with TeamSpeak for now.

Join my Server and Test it yourself, no Download, no Sign Up:
You can create an invitation link to your server for people who don't have discord [yet].
Downsides!
➤ No text channels specifically assigned to a voice channel.
➤ No real Profile Customization
➤ No manual Status Button.
Thank You!

@Dubsy
Yes I personally would use it if you play mainly with friends and a clan.
Test it out for yourself, its free. If you dont like it switch back! :)
dubsys 19 May, 2016 @ 12:16am 
hm seems good. Would you say you would use it for a clan more than TS or Skype?

I'll go through the feedback/support site of discord in a bit and list known issues in the guide!
You're right, thank you for the feedback!
