Yeah maybe if you have like 2gb of ddr2 ram. 10mb is nothing, now take your thread to the 10th page and never come back.

I like dolby axon.

Teamspeak.
Discords voice quality is kind of shit compared.

Skype is bottom tier.
>>
>>343437894
I forgot that dolby was a company that still existed
>>
I liked using discord until I got this weird bug where it only played the game sound through my speakers and the voice chat in my headphones. Kinda frustrating
>>
>>343438023
I thought discord fixed their "Robot voice" problem.

>>343437210
>>343437894
Discord is fucking free why would you buy a server
>>
>>343435946
>ddos protection
>it gets ddos occasionally
maybe if it didnt lie
>>
>>343438647
Not so much so that it has ddos protection, but that your not hosting it yourself therefore your IP is protected and harder to access in order for someone to DDoS you.
If your hosting a skype call, the other person has direct access to your IP and is able to easily DDoS you within seconds, same can be said for Teamspeak (if you are hosting the server, or if they are)
Discord goes a step in a protective direction, you connect to a central server that neither you nor attackers have access to and cannot gain the IP information of the other, an extremely skilled hacker may be able to find a way to trace your ip through it but an average/common DoS or DDoS attacker would lack the aptitude to do it, or the patience to do so.

>teamspeak/mumble and IRC are too complex for millenials
>lets give skype a gamer skin, millenials love that razer shit

and so discord was born
>>
>>343438254
Because it fucking works you sperg and isnt shit compared to discords quality. Go shill your shot somewhere else.
>>
>>343437618
Mumble is better. Less latency and it uses less RAM. My mumble is currently using 9MB of RAM.

>>343438996
>and lets also give it DDoS protection, Automatic Failover, and make it into a free version of Teamspeak
>>
in b4 teamspeak babies defend their outdated software

oh and the robot voice problem only happens if the person speaking has a shitty 3rd world internet connection (or you do)

>>343438996
>wow discord sure looks nice and is easy to use, so it's obviously worse than us cool kids using the old stuff!

>>343439097
are you really nitpicking the difference between 20-30 mb of ram when we all have at least 8 GB now?
>>
>>343439047
>hosting a server on ts3 makes your IP fully exposed, and you have to fucking pay for it
lol what
>>
Discord if you don't want to host a server and/or want to quickly set some shit up.

Teamspeak if you're playing sims with multiple people, like ARMA or flight sims.

Mumble if you don't like Discord's interface too much and like options.

skype never

vent NEVER
>>
>Using closed source communiation software in 2016
Just use Mumble.
>>
>>343439201
>not having a 15 year old toaster next to you to run mumble, irc, etc
you're damn right I am. I want my 20 megs back.
>>
>>343439325
I figured mumble would be better for milsims since it has directional audio
>>
the main thing i like about discord is their devs, they're constantly updating shit and obviously care about their product

>>343439410
maybe you should consider shutting down the toaster and saving yourself some electricity
>>
>>343439415

Yeah, but most sims I've played seem to prefer Teamspeak. I guess mumble can do it too.
>>
>>343439327
>its closed source so its bad
i dont use it because its open source, i use it because it works better than any other VOIP service

You don't get to decide what could be used against you.
>>
>>343439530
Weird. Is it because teamspeak has better structure for a hierarchy?

Mumble, only one that respects your freedoms.

Mumble? Sounds like a band indie rock band

IRC? What does that even mean?

I use Discord for my gaming group, works well. Haven't had any audio quality problems, but since I've only had about six people on at once it may have problems with more than that.

Trust me.

I always find skype having better sound quality than anything else I try.Although that shit is heavy as hell and the client slow as hell some times.
>>
>>343441042
convince them to use discord at least, it's pretty much the same and has a prettier/better interface

getting in/out of a voice channel is so much better than calling people
>>
>>343441329
Worst sound. And voice acrivation is garbage.

Teamspeak has better structure, and you can use plugins like ACRE and TFAR for Arma.
>>

Mumble. Now fuck off, you can't even minimize channels in Discord and the UI is xbox hueg

ArmA groups use Teamspeak because the plugins for radios and volume/mute based on distance (ACRE and TFR) are for TS only
>>
>>343439327

95% of open source software is fucking terrible
>>
Does Discord support Task Force Arma 3 radio or ACRE?
>>
>>343441669

you can make the text part more compact but yeah, i wish you could make everything smaller

>>343435946
I use discord because it looks clean unlike most of the software listed here.

God I fucking hate so much how bad Skype looked with the jammed up ads.
>>
>>343441405
Maybe, but I think you'd have to use something like a Bot that reads the chat and updates the website when something new happens.

>>343441779
Again, I think you'd need a bot to do something like this.

you can block those pretty easily

What's Discord's game

What do they get out of their immense shilling and effort to win people over from Skype

What data are they selling
>>
>>343442176
I know you can block it by changing some configs on your router, it still pissed me off how you had to go do that. I also hated how obnoxious it was to add someone and to manage your contact list.

It makes it sound like it's more of a face-to-face conversation than a rehearsed script. basically what >>343442207 said. People can relate to it more and they don't feel like they're being talked down to.
>>
>>343442326
best case, ad money and maybe premium software
worst case, they're selling the data
>>
>>343442091
what is it with reaction images that is supposed to be funny? using Al Bundy like it's the late 90s and pretending Married With Children was a good series
>>
>>343441669
>you can't even minimize channels in Discord

Kek, you blind? You can easily minimize channels.
>>
>>343441134
Man that shit is retarded. Just use fucking Skype you neets
>>
>>343442326
They aren't, they got a large start up fund and once they are happy with the core functionality they will start selling emoticons and themes etc.Things for normies to buy.
>>
>>343442361
>changing some configs on your router
you can go to window's internet options and blacklist skype's ads website, it's super simple. google it.

but yeah, i think skype is shit too. i'm happy with discord
>>
I use mumble.

Literally no downsides. I don't see why everyone is making a huge fuss about this when you only have 2 decent clients
