So apparently there are a lot of Discord groups on Era I didn't know about

I'm part of four ;)
Discord groups are really only affiliated by name any not monitored by the Era mods. So it's not really in Era's best interest to support them all that much. I'd only join the ones you have an interest in. Even then it's iffy, because some of them are pretty small.

It hasn't replaced forums for you completely. You're posting this on a forum.
that's only because they don't have the link to the "Era discord channel discussion" discord channel
(quote for link)
not really
Discord was essential in migrating people from the old place to this one in fairly short order. It's also a great way to get to know people better than just forum posts. Because the communities tend to be driven by mutual interest, there's also less contention than you'll get in some threads here or on any forum.
This sums it up for me and the reason why I ended up only using the LFG channels on the only ERA discord I've been on and ignoring the other channels on it.
Yup. Seems like IRC from the old days which I also missed. Era discord seemed weird to me, like, why not talk about it on the forum, rather than creating a new a smaller forum to talk about it. But I'm sure there are reasons. Guess I'm just not "in" any of the sub communities enough to see the appeal.
Maybe I should seek out a era rocket league discord, but is there even a point if I dont want to use voice chat? Feel like I'd have to turn off surround sound/use headphones which doesnt sound appealing.
That sounds pretty reasonable. Got to admit I have not even used that, though it sounds like a good way to find a nice group to play with
For the longest time I never understood Discord, because it was treated like this revelation and I didn't understand what it actually revolutionized, but it really isn't anymore than chat rooms or IRC. Weird how Discord was treated as this brand-new thing when the concept really is as old as the hills. I see the same thing happening with almost everything though so I guess it's no surprise.
A lot of Era discords are dead. The smaller ones with, like, 10 people tend to be more about gossiping and saying things you'd be banned for on here.
This is why I wish the forum supported a feature that showed you if a post had been quoted already and either links to or previews of those replies.
Discord is another product I'm annoyed I somehow didn't think to invent.
If it kept the more toxic, insular elements off the board it'd be nice, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Oh, I already know of that one.
I am the owner and currently only member.
Always looking for new members!
I'm in our friend group's discord and my WoW guild's discord. Our friend discord might be one of the older ones because we started using it really early on. Before that we would have a few TeamSpeak or Ventrilo servers to haunt. I also remember people used Skype. I never understood those people, it was straight up awful. Discord is superior in every way to what came before. Getting new people who didn't really understand PC gaming onto the TeamSpeak or Vent was a real challenge in my experience. Now we just pass a link.
The Era discords I'm in are active enough and quite frankly I prefer talking on there and LINE than I do on forums in general.
how? It is just IRC only like everything on the new internet a. looks nicer and b. is controlled by a corporation.
I have to say I don't "get" discord over forums. It's essentially a single forum thread (unless you go through the trouble of setting up different sections) so the focus of the discussion is always generalised and the pace of discussion means it moves too fast to have any decent analysis or focus on a specific issue. Its live chat nature makes it much more spammy.
Absolutely this.
No "read threadmarks". lol
On ERA: "hm this poster is clearly wrong but if I don't word my answer absolutely 100% bulletproof I might get banned"
On Discord: "the FUCK did you just SAY?"
XD
Sure, it's huge THIS month.
A year ago it was one person playing Pocket Camp, and 3 old friends insulting each other randomly.
Servers are extremely topical, and a new game in the series is releasing, so. Now it's filling up.
Nope. If anything it seems to be the behind-the-curtain place where they huddle up.
I always got the impression that this place is kind of run in the background by certain Discord(s).
I mean, the mods and admins literally have a discord where they discuss stuff so, like, yeah the board is run by discords.
That's just common sense.
It is a feature that was recently added. Update your app and check the long-press menu.
The fact discords need to be hidden to avoid raids or nasty stuff does not help to make them known sadly.
On the newest version of discord for iOS you click a message and when the options pop up if you scroll down it will have a "mark as unread" option. Clicking this means that's where you'll start the next time you enter the chat assuming you don't read for too long after doing so.
There may have been a way to do it on older versions but I wasn't aware of it. Back then I'd just ignore older messages because scrolling up for ages was a pain.
My discord offer still stands: I will spit in your mouth if you ask, Slader.
