2016.5.6 — Change Log

Our blog has moved to our main website! Check us out on discord.com/blog to stay in the loop about future posts.

• Less Robo Voice. We twiddled just the right bits and Discord can now handle up to 30% packet loss significantly better. Take that, Robot Man.
• Set a Note on a user’s profile so you remember her real name is XxDrawnElf3000xX even though she changes it every ten seconds… yxItsDatBoixy, OhSheetWhaddup97, ~SoOcOoLaMiRiTe~. Ask and ye shall receive.
• Automatically Set Status to Streaming when Streamer Mode is on and Twitch reports that you are, um, streaming. Ask and ye shall receive.
• Roles have been overhauled to support hierarchies. You can now have overlords, admins, and zerglings who can only mess with people of lower rank. Ask and ye shall receive.
• Manage Roles permission no longer grants a superstar. Instead, use the Administrator role if you want to dodge blue shells. Ask and ye shall receive.
• Creating Roles have been simplified: the @everyone role is used as a template for all new roles.
• Creating Channels have been simplified. Right Click Best Click on a channel to clone it with the same permissions. Ask and ye shall receive.
• /shrug whatever ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Ask and ye shall receive.
• Typing is easier now. Simply press one of those 101 buttons and the input box will auto focus, assuming you’re not using Push To Talk. Ask and ye shall receive.
