Discord now charging for audio improvements is the first step of their plan to monetize whole servers and people are already willing to pay for these upgrades, so fucked.
Discord #1 gaming platform
The fuck is an audio improvement
If the audio is bad by default I'll just use skype
if enough people boost your server, your audio in call goes up to 384 KBPS, seems like a cashgrab
i give it 2 years before they put a monthly on server hosting
what even is their business model currently?
If people want to spend money on this useless shit, more power to them.
To be fair, 96 kbps is already close to transparent for the Opus codec.
Discord's shit audio quality comes from their awful processing and more bitrate won't save that.
As long as audio quality does not get worse than it currently is, I have no problem with that.
Offering Boosts so the most autistic fags on a server can attention-whore even harder
Why would you need high kbps for human speech? With good codec it needs very low bitrate. Seems like a marketing stunt aimed at retards.
However, Discord has been recently constantly shitting the bed at least once per day for three of us, where audio just becomes a mess and packet loss goes to 90%. After we all leave and come back (I guess new server is created in the process) it all fixes itself.
Sell user data to research groups
>audio quality for literal shittalking
who the fuck cares about this?
This. Opus at 96 is better than mp3 at 320.
>who the fuck cares about this?
You will when you'll have to even the basic sub to go in a voice chat.
I'm more concerned about 10 dollar shitty mics than audio quality of the VC channel
They already sell all your data and they still want money from you? fucking jews, use mumble / irc / riot.im instead.
If there is no product you are the product
this is why i use mumble
lol
>giving your money to faggots who ban loli because "it's problematic" while letting dog fuckers post their disgusting crap without banning them as they should
>Charging $ per month for smilies
>Selling games through a store that circumvents Steam/Epic/Etc
>Twitch "prime" / Amazon tie-ins / promotions
>Nitro / GIF avatar for $/month
>muh lowli
Who cares
But no chat and you need an additional app for mumble while you can just use discord on firefox/whatever.
Browser version of Discord is quite unstable for many which is quite surprising since the standalone version is just a glorified browser. In any case, lack of push to talk is not an option.
But Discord's standalone client is magnitudes better than mumble's.
Exactly user! Who cares? Fuck Lolis!
I'm totally with you on that one.
>i give it 2 years before they put a monthly on server hosting
and then it'll die
i fucking wish
>kuro
>loli
fucking idiot. kuro is a mature woman!
Browser version has always been stable for me. Not to mention I'd rather not install the app as I don't trust the discord team enough.
>Kuro
>loli
Ironic weeb, please go. There's a reason why Kirino want to rape her little sisters yet she has absolutely no interest for Kuro.
Agreed. Fuck lolis, that's all they're good for!
Well, I had no issues with it either but I personally saw a lo of cases where other people couldn't talk until they joined through desktop client.
You have to finish your sentence user, what do you wish for?
Looks like loli hence is loli. She also acts like one.
Implying i saw that shitty anime, i just wanted to nut to lolis
Oh I never talked myself. I'm a terrible ESL, so it'd be pointless.
Beating up and dismembering tsugu!
She's not a loli and she doesn't look like one, tranny. Go dilate.
We use it for dota so no matter how bad you are at communication as long as you can scream help that's already useful.
You won't fool me, user, I've seen pictures of her. Also, tranny? Really?
Maybe some fanarts make her look younger. If there was a loli beside the obvious ones, that'd be Kanako. Which, ironically enough, also has almost been raped by Kirino too when she cosplayed as Meruru.
>no tsugu card for koikatsu that i'm aware of
>he doesn't know
I still use TS for most of my communication needs. Uses less resources, has more than adequate audio quality. It has everything I need, push-to-talk, simple chat and file transfer. Fuck emojis and fuck weebs
>doesn't look like a loli
>doesn't post an example of loli
Yes, I love my voice chat software taking up 1.2GB of Ram to run one tab with discord in it
The discord app is shit but less ram heavy than firefox/chrome running discord, which already have insane permissions on your machine and can read a bunch of fun shit software and whatnot you have.
The discord app is pure malware, yes,
I use Ripcord (3rd party client; cancel.fm/ripcord)
>business model currently?
the steal user info/images to sell to marketing companies, read the ToS. You have to be retarded to post personal info on there
user please, stop posting delicious children. Otherwise I'm going to have to say the C word and get a 3 days ban again... I'm not even kidding.
Is your computer that slow? With 16gb of ram I have no issues.
all the games I still play, the groups who play them still have TS servers and dont plan on changing
damn it feels good to be a boomer
be careful with that letter, user!
>gets banned for posting pedophilia
absolutely based mods
>only 3 days
nvm you're useless
C
So what games have antagonists as relatable as Kamidori?
I max out 16GB with some games I play.
My computer isn't "slow" and less ram doesn't make a computer "slow" anyway. But why should things be so fucking bloated when they don't have to be? How come I was able to do group voice chat with something that takes less than 40MB of ram, but this electron-app garbage takes hundreds of MB? It's just shittily designed.and I'd rather use IRC + Mumble in almost all cases. And my IRC client only takes like 6MB of ram and 0% cpu strain.

Obligatory
Seems like a pretty based dude
every time it makes me laugh
wonder if i could get that guy to sing this:

>Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you? Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you? Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too. I'm a schoolboy, too. Hey, I'm a schoolboy, too. I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine I want to put a tiger, baby I want to put a tiger, baby. I want to put a tiger, baby, hey in your sweet little taint
dunno how they got away with this desu
I know user, I got a 3 days ban for saying the word.
NO user DONT DO IT!

Not videogames
Discord is for nu-males.
However I'd like to correct you kids on sound quality. 128 KBPS is perfectly fine for audio speech.
>wiki.hydrogenaud.io
You only really need 24 kbps. For light music in background, you need 32 kbps, 48 kbps is essentially the top end for speech and has real improvement above this level.
If you're listening strictly to music, 128kbps is perfect. You can go down to 96k (default ffmpeg) for perfectly fine music quality.
I can tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps pretty easily in almost any setting
On my stereo at home I can tell the difference between 320kbps and lossless FLAC/AAC/etc, but I usually listen to music in the car where it doesn't matter as much but I can definitely notice a significant drop from 320k to 128k in quality
Loli and cub porn are nothing different other than the latter being anthropomorphic. They both can be defined as disgusting and problematic, but you have the audacity to be a hypocrite, by only caring about cub while you like loli, child fucker.
In any case, you living under a rock. Discord now prohibits both cub and loli.
listening-test.coresv.net
Opus quality is higher than AAC. Its got the highest quality among all other encodes. If you have 5.1 channel or so, you can then increase Opus to 160Kbps and it will be almost unbeatable. Its got roughly 30% better than MP3, meaning you can have 160kbps mp3 and opus at 128kbps would beat it. @ 256kbps they might equal out.
Loli porn is for pedos. Anyone who is against loli bans are already a lost cause and should off themselves

This is how free market works commie.
If people are willing to pay for it, the developers will make it, clear and simple.
If you don't like it I heard they need cheap labor in Venezuela. You can see where your commie ideas lead to there.
The Discord marketing team are actually genius because they've created a system where they can fool people into paying to actively shilling their product and berate others into upgrading their server.
You can only boost one server with your subscription too, so it's 500 bucks for the last tier. It's only going to be a matter of time before they start stripping back features and you'll have to pay for them.
Actually I'm talking about allowing furry which is literally just animal sex.
just vote with your wallet bro
So, you admit then that you don't know what are you talking about.
This is all happening because the entirety of the internet wants to post memes and their circlejerk's injokes as tiny images inserted into their sentences.
You telling me they banned furry too? I don't think so.
That's what idiots get that don't use open source stuff and use stuff that are mostly owned by chinks that see money in everything.
Fucking use Riot.im already you faggots.
No, I'm telling you that you absolutely don't know what is furry. Had you know what is anthropomorphism genuinely, then you wouldn't say it's just "animal sex".
You have the audacity to be a hypocrite AND has revealed to be illiterate on the term you're referring to. Yep, checks out to be the typical Yea Forumsermin.
Same shit. You furries are literal animal fuckers and yet they let you piece of shit post your garbage on their server.
>furfag
>ESL
Nice argument.
Go have sex with your dog.
Alright then, literal child fucker. Why don't you just go ease off this hot head of yours by posting your favorite pedophilia pictures together with your little group of others literal child fuckers, huh?
Read the rules, bye.
Even 32kbps for speech is good. It's mostly a matter of mic quality.
Go have sex with your child.
I haven't heard about Discord banning users and groups for a while now. Have they stopped doing that?
My main issue with Discord is that you're giving a 3rd party the ability to block communication between you and your peers, if you're spreading wrongthink. But if they aren't doing that anymore, I'll consider it.
Kill yourself and go back to facebook.
I think the one here who needs to read the rules is you. The more you speak, the more you reveal to be a hypocrite illiterate newfag.
>ywn bash her face in with a hammer while she's passed out
>ywn carve her face with a razor disfiguring her
I'd pay top money for a VR game of this.
If there's one thing that should be removed from the rules it should be that fucking global rule 3. All it does is give butthurt fags and jannies ground to ban you for upsetting them.
Aaaaaaaah fucking nigger fat clown I swear to God you raped that girl on top of her father's grave.
Is there anything more hypocritical than the Furry and Lolicon fights? Both groups use arguments that can be used by the other group
>You want to have sex with a dog\child
>I only like the version that is not real
Why can't degenerates get together and make the normalfags go away?
Collect money from Xi to turn westerners into trannies
Why can't zoom zooms into Mumble? It's literally the best Voice Chat solution.
At no point did anyone say they liked loli, just that they should ban both instead of one or the other. You just read into that because you need some sort of moral high ground to justify the fact that you want to rape animals.
In other words, literally kill your fucking self you disgusting animal fucking prick. I hope you never find real love or happiness in your life and kill yourself.
They banned cub porn now. Lots of discord staff is furries, so people called them biased for it
Considering they're using Opus, an increase to 256 is extremely unnecessary. It's transparent even below level 1.
>mfw furchads just can't stop winning
Keep seething incels
cope dogfucker
>that shitty store
>that stupid Discord Premium
>now this
>when they ban anyone permanently
Why would I spend money on something that will ban someone permanently for anything? All you need to remember is the fucking Christchurch shooting and the banwaves that followed.
this is why we need net neutrality.
Learn the meaning of anthropomorphism before you say anything, please. As long you keep saying furry is "animal sex", then I won't acknowledge that loli is not "child sex".
>At no point did anyone say they liked loli
No, but this one puts the quotation marks on 'it's problematic', implying that he's under the knowledge that loli is not actually problematic.
i hate them both off you go stinky mcdogfuck
>he compresses
>when you hate discord, but all your friends use it, so you have to begrudgingly go with the browser version
Like hell if I'm downloading the app. I don't want chinese spyware directly on my comp.
Furries deserve no less than to be thrown into a pit of flaming pigs
Mumble doesn’t have this problem
Pedophiles deserve no less than to be thrown into a pit of flaming pigs
at this point why should anyone even use this thing
they keep adding more and more features to make their client as bloated as possible, and it's the only program on my computer that actually lags when i try to use it
and now this as well
the only reason i even have it anymore is i open it up from time to time to go to the pcmr server and see if there are any games being given away on steam or whatever
I'm using Ripcord now, thanks for the suggestion.
>You will when you'll have to even the basic sub to go in a voice chat.
There isn't a single successful platform on the internet that took away a major free feature from the users and then managed to convince people to pay for it. These people began using the platform because that feature was free, take that away and you just lost a majority of your userbase.
If they actually will go with the idea you're proposing it means the service is dying and they're trying to squeeze as much as possible from it before shutting it down for good. Discord is stuck with offering free voice chat till their own death.
Because it's not free to host your own servers and they can't post wojacks
I assume they were losing money for the first few years and staying afloat on investors.
>It's not free to host your own servers
Yes it is, stupid zoomer
>at this point why should anyone even use this thing
Same as any chat service: to talk to their friends.
based tho
If anything, they'll charge server owners cash to increase the limit of how many people can be on their server.
>discord
Why not use IRC for text chat ?
but why specifically this one, i never had a problem using teamspeak. hell even the steam voice chat thing is fine
the only reason people use this is because it's popular and easy to use and they don't know better
What friends?
It's easy to set up and start using it.
That's all there is to it.
Literally what's wrong with using discord to chat/voice with friends in private servers/one on one?
"Unga Discord bad" means shit unless we're talking about the people who go on those big public servers, but who cares about those anyway. Those are always a epeen waggling shitshow, might as well go to plebbit at that point.
yeah i'll convince all my friends to switch to some outdated chat platform just so we can all feel like off-the-grid hackers.
It's not the 90's anymore
Gacy pls
Interface, usability and features. People like being able to easily upload pictures, use emotes and stuff.
Steam chat is aping Discord now for a reason, and teamspeak has an archaic client in most peoples' opinions.
Honestly, I don't see a problem with any of them, Discord is fine but Yea Forums hates anything popular (it's specific discord "committees" that are cancer really). If anything, Skype is byfar the worst since it hogs CPU like crazy and has an awful interface. Everything about Skype sucks including voice quality.
