Game changer...

Hmm. So the goal is to make it easier for people who use Discord's social/community aspects to bring other players in VO, or indicate their usage of the game?

That sounds cool. We'll look at it if we get a chance.

incarnate. I think you guys should focus on keeping the current players. So many joined but also left the game.

Most new pilots leave because they expected the wrong game, Bosup. There is plenty to do in VO, even for f2p people, if they only think to dedicate the time needed. Not to mention player events and other community-based stuff. Given how many complaign when some throwdown happens across guild/nation/etc lines, and that the active player charts have shown growth since the summer, I feel people are sticking around, or returning, or whatever.

Really, people actually leaving or staying is more up to the community than the game getting cool new content, imho. Both, if working in tandem, would help a bunch.

Also, better integration to popular game tools/communities like discord and twitch and everything else would help broadcast the game itself, something I think VO has been a tad weak about recently. Again, the community can help in this regard ;)

Tl; dr - dont be glum.

still need more endgame content imo...

You can heavily improve your combat skill and join us in our pews, clank, and you're telling me you've completed all the mission trees in VO? You've manu'd a trident?

End-game content; what exactly IS that to you? There are plenty of missions, badges, and people in VO, and capital ships themselves require quite some time to build.

In general, we're always working on more content, even if some of it takes a long time to roll out. If there's specific content you'd like to see prioritized, then feel free to create a Suggestion thread for that.

However, this thread is about the potential for adding support for Discord "Rich Presence" features.

If your comment isn't about that, don't post it here.

Look, if you want to bump your thread, that's fine. But don't hijack someone else's useful thread to advertise yours. That's the polar opposite of what I just asked.

Noted. I suppose I just got frustrated with your comments on every thread except mine. I'll focus my efforts on the original thread. Thank you for finally replying!

If you look at the threads on the first page of Suggestions, you'll see I haven't responded to the great majority, which is true overall (so, no, I did not comment on "every thread except yours"). Lately I've been responding after we actually implemented a given suggestion, just to cap it off and say when it was added, for posterity. My responding does not correlate to whether something gets added, or when.

I'll focus my efforts on the original thread. Thank you for finally replying!

Sounds great. That's far more helpful.

Discord has been great for connecting with other pilots
