Discord V.S. Guild Chat

I’m experiencing the trend of guilds using voice chat only and anyone who types in Gchat is promptly ignored (not /ignored, just not replied to)

I get the voice chat for raids/groups but…

I miss guilds that actually chatted in guild chat.

Thoughts?

Normal people frequently multitask while on WoW. If you are paying attention to only WoW then maybe it’s easier to focus on guild chat, but why limit yourself to just WoW while on your PC? Also discord is easier to post/link memes.

Because I don’t feel like getting on voice chat.

I’ve been plying 15 years and used to have a guild that used guild chat so I know it’s possible to have guild chat be one of your “multitasks”.

I’m just wondering.

Just like the kids dont know how to speak on a telephone and they only use text messages…

If voice chat has become (ironically) the new standard.

it’s definitely the new standard, has been for years. Typing gets old when you are actually playing WoW and not just wasting time doing boring junk. Grow with the times, don’t live in the past.

That is why I am not in a guild. My living situation is not where I can use Discord (multi-person apartment) and my computer is in the main common room. I do have a headset but talking is a problem to the other people in the apartment.

I was in a couple of guilds a while back, but no one used chat so it pretty much felt like I was a solo player, so might as well be a solo player. Would love to be in an active guild again but due to the voice thing it is not possible for me I don’t guess.

It is like you are complaining that people are becoming MORE social while gaming together and not less. Talking to each other on voice > typing. Anyways, our guild uses a healthy mixture of both (discord is required for raiding)

<Alliance Lives Matter> Connected Realms- Scilla, Zuluhed, Andorhal and Ursin

Currently 9/9M BoD [ce] , 2/2H CoS 9/9H BoD, 8/8M Uldir [ce] , 11/11M Antorus [cutting edge]. We are #1 server on our server group.

Currently US 140 for Mythic BoD. Killed Jaina multiple times before the hardcore nerfs and reclear her every week.

/www.wowprogress.com/guild/us/zuluhed/Alliance+Lives+Matter

Recruitment Needs for Mythic: (Transfer Required) 1 disc+holy priest, 1 holy paladin, 2 ranged dps(strong preference for warlock, ele sham, s priest) 1 dps with strong tank off spec, prefer monk or warrior… Potentially 1 stud melee player. Anyone talented regardless of class/spec will be considered. Do not be shy to apply even if you are not one of our high priority classes.

We also recruit normal and heroic only raiders for our normal and heroic raids. We have many awesome less hardcore players that join us for heroic and normal to learn from our mythic raiders. This is a very active and growing guild. Our raiders do not just log on to raid and than disappear.

Guild Goals: We are pushing hard for famed slayer in eternal palace and need like minded driven competitive individuals with the same goal [IN PROGRESS]. To full clear mythic BoD in a timely competitive fashion (US 250 Minimum) [COMPLETED; cut our US ranking in HALF] and all future mythic raid tiers going forward in a quick and competitive manner. We set our goals and then we do what it takes to meet them. We do meet our goals. Period. We started antorus 6 months late and burned our way through cutting edge Antorus. This IS a cutting edge raiding guild with structure and organization.

Raid Schedule
[Mythic] Thursday 8:30pm-10:30pm cst
[Mythic] Sat/Sun 3:30-7:30 pm central.
[Heroic] Tuesday is our heroic night for our mythic raiders/sales run 8:30 central to 11:00pm. This run is optional but highly recommended for gear sharing.
[Heroic] Wednesday- Open to our heroic team raiders, mythic raiders, and mythic raider alts. run 8:30 central to 11:00. This team full clears heroic easily as well.
[Normal] Friday open to anyone 8:30 central to 10:00.

We push people to get 1 heroic clear and 1 mythic 10 plus a week done. This is * required for our mythic raiders. As long as there is forging in the game people should be fishing for titanforges.

More about the guild: We do it all, we aren’t just raiders. We are extremely active guild, the most active on the server, and more active than most servers/guilds. Our people do not just log on for raids once or twice a week. Our average age range is 28-35. We enjoy PvP- arenas, rbgs, bgs, wpvp, Mythic+, achievements. We have a very laid back but like to get stuff done kind of atmosphere when it is not raid time. When it is raid time, we get focused and serious and competitive in a non toxic results oriented manner. Very active and supportive guild filled with awesome human beings. Our raiders are competitive players always striving to better themselves. Flasks and feasts and vantus runes are provided for all progression raiding. We constantly analyze logs and push for improvement. We do not settle for mediocrity in any of our members so by being a part of this guild you will become a better player and person. This is just a small taste of our guild. Please contact an officer to have any questions or concerns addressed.

If you’re interested in raiding with us or would just like to join the guild feel free to contact Nebulaphobia, our recruitment officer.

There’s a difference between wondering and complaining.

Trying to understand something and asking why something is the way it is is not complaining.

Sounds like you’re complaining about my question and then you go on to complain about not having enough guild members by posting a recruitment bulletin in the thread. Wow, you complain a lot, you’ll get more members, calm down.

Discord has more options for text messages (like saving) and of course voice.

I’d say my guild uses Discord more because its more accessible since you don’t need to be online in WoW to use it and can hop from one Discord to another.
