Discord = Main News Hub

#21

Weekly statistics are missing from the forums yes.

If there is a hub page for ToL I’d recommend creating a non-posting thread that is continuously updated with screenshots of the statistics and an archive.

Theres a new patch every month that’s added to ToL. Discord post links to the forum thread of the patch notes only, the patch notes themselves are actually only posted solely on the forums now.

As far as I’m aware, unofficial events such as the OGAT tournament a month or two ago only get promotion on the discord, that’s another thing that could be posted about here on the forum.

The only other update that springs to mind that isn’t on the forum, is continued discord/TOL streamlining. I do not believe it is necessary to post them here, if you have discord you’re generally going to find out about discord updates on the platform itself.

Orange, would you prefer if I42 would post wee updates of small things such as bug fixes, on the forums?

Less bug fixes and moreso balance patches

There have been many times where a community member has to be like “oh hey, this patch note’s OP is no longer accurate because ThePatch.D has changed five important things and nobody here knew”

Not to mention literally today somebody brought a poll the devs were running on the Discord here that had never been posted here before

It feels like we’re losing out on important stuff on the game’s most long-lasting place for open communication

If you check the forum #news , there’s been more information there vs this forum than the existence of this forum, itself ~ Discord has always had more “extra” info than the forum since it’s the primary hub (this is still a primary a hub, but comes after Discord). We keep forum announcements high level: Usually for patch notes. Not only for simplicity, but due to limited time.

For example, we just posted that we added a new channel for posting cat pictures. That’s not high level enough to post in the forum announcements~

Sure thing ;D https://discord.gg/tol #throne-of-aww

( Or #off-topic here )

But for real tho, I love my forum friends too <3 If I had enough time to do all social sites, I would. I usually do Discord because I’m VERY EASILY DISTRACTED. I can post things fast and minimize. Here, I can infinite scroll and I get sucked in. Heck, I’m posting this when I should be working on the upcoming patch! I’ve already done it! :Scurries away:

I would, but can’t join links to discord from the forums. Bit of a bug.

Hmm, never heard of this one. Works fine for me on both desktop on mobile - what happens when you click?

Sounds like your popup blocker is too hardcore. Try temporarily disabling it and see if it works?

First, it takes me to this page to accept the invite. When I click this, it takes me to AppStore to get Discord. I don’t have enough storage for Discord app, so I don’t do so.
I’m on mobile.

#34

I’m not convinced that’s a bug?

#35

I can’t accept invites.

Discord is like 20mb – if you don’t have enough space for only 20mb, I think you have deeper problems :stuck_out_tongue: Use Google Photos to photos/videos sync to the cloud for free, then delete local copies. First-time sync will use a lot of juice, so do it overnight on a charger.

There are also free apps (and sometimes native in settings, if Android) to clean up leftover junk, too. Try that. I’d Google the best one for 2019.
