Greetings Pilots,

 

As some of you may know, the teamspeak license will be expiring on March the 2nd and there are no plans to renew it. The objective of this post is to inform the community about why this decision was made and what's next. 

 

Firstly, I want to give a huge thanks to my fellow super admins, Tickle, Amid, and more recently Woods. This project could not have had the success it did without your help. Secondly I would to thank all of our other Admins who did great work in helping many players feel welcome in the teamspeak's community. Last but not least, I want to give a huge thank you to all of our donors. The teamspeak would have never been possible without the overwhelming support of you all.

 

Now for the news. Due to the increased functionality of discord and the high costs of maintaining a teamspeak, we have decided to switch to discord as our voip provider. The teamspeak administrative structure and goals have now been successfully merged with the already existing HwkNchill Discord  and it is there that we plan to keep the essential functionality and idea behind the teamspeak alive. Eth0 has done and is doing great work and the teamspeak staff have taken on a support roll in anticipation of increased traffic to the Discord in "Early 2017/SoonTM". 

 

We had a great run with the teamspeak and look forward to continuing to support / provide a unified Voip service for the Hawken community. 

 

Thank you all. See you on the battlefield. 

 

Merl

the only thing I like about the current setup with discord is the IRC style chat - even if you don't have a mic, you can still stop by and fuzzy bunnycommunicate with other hawken pilots.

 

or those that used to be, anyways.


I like going against the best of any game I play. Helps you in the long run n motivates u to do more. Always room for improvement not failure

Thank you all for your effort on this project. A lot of events and clan activities wouldn't have been possible without the TS.

I'm looking forward to participating in the discord, I think the switch makes a lot of sense.

Thank you all for maintaining the TS. I had more than my fair share of fun and unexpected late nights hanging out there with a lot of you. Hawken story time was always the best.

Yes, thanks. I only used it a handful of times, (antisocial tendencies/can't shoot and talk at same time) but I sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks to all you guys.

Actually the discord came to change the game, there are many functionalities, easy management of rooms and administrators, moderators etc, you can create special permissions for each room, limit number of users, select whether the room will be voice or text, in addition to Be able to generate temporary invitations to the general room or sub rooms. I use it for some time (8 mouths), I even have a server of my own. You can create as many as you want. It works great and uses very little resource against data.

 

TS was great, but discord is awesome! :D

Shameless bump.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.
