its closed source,
worse voice quality than mumble,
way more resource intensive than mumble,
funded by tencent (chinese govt),
doesnt have acl,
probably is selling/will sell your data in the future

discord permissions is acl
also voice quality you really can't distinguish unless you really pay attention
also it's resource intensive because it's an electron app, which allows discord to have all the functionality it has

it's made for more than just voice, and if you need something for players to interact with other than just voice, discord still leads. It's not a bad platform, it's just for players who "care" about the little things, mumble will be there for them.

Moreover, seems like people have a genuine hatred towards discord, and that's okay. I'll keep using whatever, however for me the audio is unnoticable even with good audio gear. Some people have preferences, you should stick to that.

Yes, I use discord.

24also voice quality you really can't distinguish unless you really pay attention

this may be true for you and others, but i get headaches from the conference-call/early 2010s-skype quality that discord has. i honestly don't know how it doesn't bother more people other than that people just haven't used anything better (hence, i make the better thing free)

the fact that people are comming with worse quality now than we were back in 2008 is insane

i use discord all the time for organizing things, communicating with the newbie mix community, etc., but the voice quality (and overlay) are genuinely terrible.

Have you used mumble? The voice quality is 100% distinguishable. And yeah it's cool that you can chat with each other on discord but you aren't chatting in the middle of a scrim/official.

Of course I've used mumble! And I can't tell the difference, even with "good" audio gear. Stick to whatever you want, I just wanted to point out some flaws I saw.

Bumping to let everyone know that I decided in advance of the next season starting, I will be providing free private channels for anyone that wants them, up to 10 slots. The server could theoretically hold 1000 people no problem, so I don't feel the need to hold it behind a paywall. more info below

Show Content
If you want to run pugs out of the mumble and/or have a higher capacity/subchannels, you can reach out to me via tftv dm, steam msg, or discord (KevinIsPwn#1337) to get it set up. Will require a small monthly donation ($1 minimum), as I'm trying to get this project to break even (about $15 bucks a month).

If you want a private server, hmu. 50 slot for 5 bucks a month. There are cheaper (and shittier) options, but this money all goes right back into tf2 services.

Other region folks: if you want this in your region, find a couple folks and coordinate a split of $10 bucks a month, and I'll throw up a server anywhere in the world that you want.

Other than the comment about the overlay being awful, everything in this comment is demonstrably false. In 2008 voice chat sounded like they were speaking in a blender. Mumble blows out the mids in everyone's voice to a degree where it sounds like they have reverb. I have no issue with you preferring Mumble over Discord for personal reasons to do with not associating with Tencent, but you cannot argue it isn't more full featured and at least up to current voice quality standards.

BlakJakbut you cannot argue it isn't more full featured and at least up to current voice quality standards.

No, you can quite easily, especially if you want to get into the technicals of audio bitrate and recording capability. Mumble and discord literally use the exact same codec, but discord limits the bitrate that you can send/receive at whereas mumble does not and it is dependent on the server you set up.

not sure what mumble settings you/ur buds are/were using, but i've never experienced blown-out mids when configured properly on both ends

discords audio quality is fine in many situations, i should not have lumped it with overlay in my description of things that are objectively "terrible" as it has definitely improved since the early days of its use

but when many people are comming at once (when audio quality is most important), it can get real rough, especially at peak use hours (the literal only time we use it for scrims)

eu.voice.tf isn't the actual mumble server address I guess? Because that hostname currently resolves to 23.227.167.56 in Dallas and pings like you'd expect from EU.

If it is expected, I can provide you an actual EU server to use instead for this project.

that is an issue with my host, then. used same provider as our NA server (ideal specs/price for murmur) but it should be in netherlands. i will fix pronto

thank you for pointing out so promptly

edit: they are fixing now and everything should be good to go in a bit; will edit again when that is the case
edit2: server will be back up in (likely) a few hours once we get everything situated on the Amsterdam server :)

edit3: server is back up, now properly spun up in Amsterdam. thanks arie!
