HongaarseBeer Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I saw several people mention the Reborn Discord and Reborn Showdown. Could someone care to explain what it is about? I have heard of Discord, but what its function is, I wouldn't know. Is it something for online battles besides the online functions in Reborn itself? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Discord is an online chatting application which is suited for gamers. You can chat with groups of people through the different servers and you can also chat with individuals through private messages. There is also a call system and you can share videos and photos. Showdown is mainly a pokemon battle site but it also serves as a chatting site with generally similar capabilities with Discord except for calls. In there, the Redemption League is also found wherein you can test your skills in battling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongaarseBeer Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Thank you Does that mean Discord is similar to Skype? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Discord is similar for Skype in that it has text and voice channels for use. It's well-suited for communities rather than individuals for communication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongaarseBeer Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I see. That explains the 'suited for gamers' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yeah, Discord is quite similar to Skype, but it has no ads and is quite a bit less prone to breaking in calls for no apparent reason than Skype is. And you can access it via your web browser or download their client. There's also Better Discord, a modification of Discord that lets you apply custom themes, custom css, and plugins(might want to be careful with plugins, there's the potential for people to do some shady stuff with them, like make one that steals login info in addition to whatever else it does), if you aren't liking how discord looks or the way some of its features work. Really, it's just flat out better than Skype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongaarseBeer Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 And I'm assuming the Reborn Discord is specifically for things related to Reborn or also for gaming in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Yup, we've got some channels for other popular games like Sun & Moon, Overwatch, PSO2, and a general MMO channel, to name several. Once Discord is installed, simply click this link and you'll receive an invitation to join the Reborn Discord channel: http://discord.gg/beVQ7Dy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Also, if you don't want notifications from a channel you aren't interested in, you can just mute it by right clicking its name and clicking the checkbox you see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you need a headset right? (need to see if mine works with PC if that's the case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead account Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 You don't need a headset. All those channels Arkhi mentioned are text based ones. People don't use the voice channels most of the time on the Reborn server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
