Where were you when Discord got BTFO the fuck out?

I guess right here. Having two people working on a voice thing is good as they'll have to compete with eachother. Blizzard might do something stupid like paid avatars or restricted voice during competitive that ruins it for their users. Currently looks like they'll be playing catch up with discord for a while.

>still no "invisibility" mode

literally first sentence

literally WHO the FUCK is going to use this?

normies who don't want to download discord aka a lot

People that visit this place

Only available in the beta for Americas region. Meh.

wow they aren't evening trying to hide that they are copying discord. layout looks virtually the same.

do you seriously think theres a demographic of people who are turned off the idea of downloading a voice chat program but also want to voice chat?

discord is like the most normie platform to use for voice/text though
jesus christ disgusting

Yes I do actually, yes.

I'm more interested in what happened to Destiny 2. First all this bullshit hype and now nobody talks about it, nor is it being played by anyone I know. Did it bomb so hard that everyone forgot it exists?

>doesn't even have the good monster flavors

Basically yes. It's a disaster and not even die hard Destiny fans like it.

I dunno even the most normie of normies I know at uni uses discord to play league and shit

It's literally a shittier Discord, using this is the equivalent of using official forums.

you have any idea how many tech illiterate people need 10 minutes to setup fucking vent/ts3?

There are enough uneducated people I know that go "but I don't trust that", while using malware streaming sites with 30 popups.

Pic related isn't a joke for most people, I work in tech support and had people throw away their pcs since they got an audio popup from streaming sites

Right but think of all the single moms and invalids that play WoW and such. Downloading things like teamspeak and mumble was always a gate for casuals across all games.

Yes but vent/ts3 is not discord, discord has a reputation for being hella easy to use. I know people who fall for scam emails and women who use discord.

More like Steam.

It's been a decade and their social features still feel so lacking.

wow, group chat with voice chat and inviting people to games?
it's like steam 7 years ago! amazing blizzard.

This will not be supported past a few months. You know that right

Blizzard always did this shit. I remember that cross realm group addon for Mists of Pandaria, then they broke the addon and then put it in the game as their own "new" feature.

But discord is most normie shit in history of voicechat since it can be used with just browser.
And if blizzcord gets actually integrated into the games to allow quickly make a room for parties/raids it could become quite popular because there's still a lot of people that hate using that shit.

doesnt even have the good sips

you don't even have to download discord. they have a web app. just copy paste the server link in your favorite web browser on PC or phones.

>use this thing only blizzard fanboys (aka the self proclaimed toxic fanbase) use
>or use discord, where people from many fanbases and games are
>trusting acti-blizz, ever
what a choice

It's basically D1 except completely normified. There's no grind and no real reward for putting in effort. I was hoping the Destiny franchise would be WoW with guns but Bungie wants it to be COD with magic.

they finally have the technology

>literally stole Discord interface

Blizzard are fucking kikes they sue everyone who makes anything barely resembling anything jewzard but copy everything left and right

>1:1 copy of a rivals app

And they said Blizzard is a fountain of creativity and new ideas.

It still requires them to go outside of their "blizzard app comfortzone", why would they go outside of the safe haven of the battlenet app by installing all kinds of software/using a site/making an account.

If you have ever worked in customer support, you basically have to assume that your demographic is absolutely retarded and will complain about any step they have to follow.

Lemme give you the general feedback you'd get from telling someone tech illiterate to use discord:

"why do I have to always go to this site if I can do it in the blizzard app"
"why do I have to have a seperate account for discord"
"why do I have to confirm the discord account"
"now I have to remember another account name and password"
"the same password isn't safe, I have to remember two passwords now"
"why do I have to go to discord everytime I launch my computer"
etc,

I found a dude whining because it had a popup saying "you are appearing offline, you can click here to go back online".

Working customer support/app design makes you hate people more than anything

Remember when Blizzard sold Valve over the Dota IP even though Blizzard ignored and pretty much laughed at the idea of Dota

lmaoing at blizzcuck niggers fawning over this
they are literally only 8 years too late for this garbage
the best part? L I T E R A L L Y all this was avaliable on the old battle.net but they had to kill it because "nu-children use facebook/twitter"
LOL!

isn't discord open source or some shit
>mfw blizzard buys discord soon

>sold
sued*

Hello, blizzard marketer.

>We don't have plans to go Open Source.

It's basically D1 except completely normified. There's no grind and no real reward for putting in effort. I was hoping the Destiny franchise would be WoW with guns but Bungie wants it to be COD with magic.

Blizzard was pretty retarded, but DOTA 2 has absolutely nothing to do with Dota 1, as far as I know Blizzard owns the rights to Dota because you agree to let Blizzard have anything you create in the map editor.

so this pretty much confirms that blizzard has no soul and just does everything based on focus testing

Blizzard owned the name but not the idea of the game mode. Which is why Blizzard lost

no one EVER said that

Good, Discord cant die fast enough.

There is literally 0 reason to have Battlenet installed.
Every game is boring.

>Pure Leaf
The most disgusting of tea.

A billions dollar company that only thinks about it's profits, how preposterous.

What else do you fucking expect, at the end of the day, every coder/designer is but a cog in the wheel. I hate the whole you think you do but you don't meme, but look at what happened with wildstar, even if they had proper optimisation etc, it would have been the carbon copy of what every nostalgiafag/mmocuck would have ever wanted, and it still would have failed.

You should always cater to the faggots that pay the bills, hence why as a streamer/youtube I generally understand why they upload 10 min videos with generic thumbnails while shouting and faking reactions. It's what gets views/money.

It's either that or they work 40 hours a week hating themselves anyway.

At least it looks clean. I'd pay an extra .50 on everything for a clean store.

Uhhh, I guess I'll get a water and um.... I guess that's it.

Fucking finally. I had to unfriendly people that I liked because every single time I was online they wanted me to play ranked games, and I just wanted to chill

I literally know nobody that uses the battle.net client to socialize. It's like Blizzard is ICQ while Discord is Whatsapp

>using discord ever
enjoy having all your info sold

Nobody is going to drop Discord to use one company's copy of it. Half my friends that play Blizz games don't even use the Blizz launcher anyway.

>BTFO the fuck out

you use Sup Forums which uses google analytics and google captcha. your information is already identified and sold.

kys yourself

STFU the fuck up idiot

>not blocking analytics
>using google's captcha
Is this your first day on the internet?

only half as much

Oh it's just the water then? Really?

blocking analytics means blocking captcha which means you can't post unless you have a Sup Forums pass, in that case you already sold yourself out

>he doesn't know you can use the old captcha
Have to spoonfeed everything to you newfags uh?

>when your faggot friends refuse to use Mumble so you have to let discord sell your information in order to talk to them

Old captcha is still Google captcha and analytics. Each captcha you solve trains AI and financially benefits Google.

S-stop being p-p-passive-aggressi-v-v-ve! HELP! JEFF, I'M BEING RAPED HERE!

God, all the things you can do when you have zero honor, this is utterly disgusting. Reminds me how overwatch copied so many things from tf2.

If anything discord could claim that Blizzard stole their UI design.

lmao@ the fact you think they can win a lawsuit against activision blizzard.

Did they patent the layout?

>battle.net
lol

What the fuck is the point of this? People use discords for basically fucking everything, who is gonna drop all that for a blizzard app for games nobody plays anymore?

Remember that Blizzard stole the idea of WoW from Everquest
Remember that Blizzard stole the idea of Overwatch and lootboxes from TF2
Remember that Blizzard stole the idea of Heroes of the Storm from DoTA
Remember that Blizzard stole the idea of a Battle.net and store from Steam
Rememeber that Blizzard stole the idea of Hearthstone from Magic
Remember that Blizzard stole the idea of Warcraft from Warhammer
Remember that Blizzard stole pretty much all their successful IPs.

reminder that blizzard didnt even make diablo but still gets credit for it

>Blizzard North was founded in 1993 under the name Condor by David Brevik, Erich Schaefer and Max Schaefer at the request of Brevik.[1] David Brevik served as the president of the company between 1993-2003, while the Schaefer brothers held the Vice President positions in the company. The company was purchased and renamed as Blizzard North by Blizzard Entertainment's former owner Davidson & Associates about nine months before the release of their hit PC game Diablo in 1996.[2][3] However, Blizzard North had complete autonomy from Blizzard Entertainment while David Brevik and the Schaefer brothers continued to manage the company respectively as the President and Vice Presidents.[4] Diablo was highly successful, and its 2000 sequel Diablo II even more so. An expansion pack, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, followed the year after.
holy shit my life is a lie

Just so you are aware, you =! everyone.

sasuga blizzdrone

You must be extremely understand not to know that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard were so Jewish they patented it first so they could patent troll discord and claim that discord stole from them

Diablo 2 is better.

This is just discord but less convenient, does Blizzard actually think they're going to take down a social client behemoth with their knock-off Steam?

>Reminds me how overwatch copied so many things from tf2.

Like what? Please be specific.

Not everything made is meant to usurp or overthrow something else. They are just making what they already have better.

Shooting guys and likable characters! The Russian has a big gun! JEWS!

diablo would have been turn based game, if not for blizzard.

Take some more obscure type of game, casualize it and rake in cash has been Blizzard's MO since forever. It makes it so hilarious when blizzbabs rage over how Blizzard is casualizing WoW when the entire reason why WoW got to be the most popular and they started playing it over other mmos was how WoW casualized the mmo genre.

And I was just thinking of trying out the remastered Starcraft. Guess I’ll pirate it now since I’m sure as hell not installing this bloatware

why do people on Sup Forums still buy blizzard games? why do they support the jews that constantly fuck over their own consumers?

blizzdrones are the most rabid fanbase in the world
blizzard could fucking kick your door in and smear shit all your computer screen for 60 dollars and blizzdrones would still defend it

>Jaina portrait is a dread lord

>social
into trash it goes

>make built in chat system better
>FUCKING KIKE JEW NIGGERS
heh

>diablo could have been a literal roguelike
I don't know how to feel about this turn of events.

Holy fuck.
Take a breath you dense motherfucker.

It's even making me anxious.

>Make a 60 dollar DLC and call it a sequel, with virtually none of the quality of life improvements that Destiny got over its lifetime

Yeah, wonder why it took a nosedive. It has been said before, Destiny 2 is the sequel to Destiny year 1. Not Destiny Year 3.

Diablo 2 is trash.

Thought I was looking at discord there for a second
