Patch 12.1: in arrivo l'integrazione tra Battle.net e Discord per le chat di gilda

Con la patch 12.1: Maledizione di Ula’tek, sarà introdotto il collegamento tra account Battle.net e Discord, permettendo ai giocatori di comunicare con la propria gilda sia dentro che fuori dal gioco senza dover passare da un client all’altro.

La funzione nasce per unificare due canali che finora restavano separati: la chat di gilda in game e i server Discord usati dalle community per organizzare raid, gruppi PvP o semplicemente restare in contatto. Una volta collegati gli account, i messaggi inviati da Discord compariranno nella chat di gilda di World of Warcraft e viceversa, così da tenere tutti allineati indipendentemente dal client aperto in quel momento.

Il vantaggio principale riguarda le gilde più numerose e quelle distribuite su fusi orari diversi, dove finora la comunicazione tendeva a frammentarsi tra chi seguiva principalmente Discord e chi restava collegato solo in gioco: con l’integrazione, chi è impegnato in un dungeon o in un raid non perde più gli aggiornamenti della gilda su Discord, e chi coordina un evento da Discord può raggiungere anche i membri offline dal client ma attivi in gioco. La gestione resta flessibile: i capigilda e gli ufficiali con i permessi adeguati possono scegliere se far confluire i messaggi Discord nel normale canale di gilda oppure isolarli in un canale dedicato, adattando l’integrazione alle abitudini specifiche di ogni community.

Vi lasciamo al bluepost per tutti i dettagli.

Blizzard Entertainment
In the Curse of Ula’tek update we’re introducing new Discord integration allowing you to speak with your guildmates both in and out of the game by connecting your Battle.net and Discord accounts. Whether you’re coordinating your next raid run, looking for more to join you in game for PvP, or just hanging out in your neighborhoods together, you’ll be able to send messages between the two quickly and easily.

Linking Your World of Warcraft and Discord Accounts

To connect your Discord account to your Battle.net account, you’ll begin by opening up the Game Menu (Escape) and opening Options. In the Social Tab, a new option will show to Enable Discord Functionality.

When you choose to connect your account to Discord, you’ll be taken to some additional screens to finalize the connection. Make sure you’re logged into Discord before attempting to connect your accounts, it will ask you to confirm the connection as well.

You’ll also be able to choose the character name you want to display when chat messages arrive from Discord by selecting it from the Display Name drop down.

Default: Use game-defined default, currently Last Online Character.

Last Online Character Name: Use the last online character for your Battle.net account in this guild.

Discord Global Name: Use your Global Name from Discord.

Setting Up Discord as an Administrator and Guild Leader

Administrators of a guild Discord will first need to make sure they enable the appropriate channel permissions in order to connect their guild chat to their chosen Discord chat channel. These permissions are as follows:

Manage Channels – Ability to edit channel settings

View Channel – Can see and read the channel

Send Messages – Can post messages in the channel

The rest of your connection can be performed within World of Warcraft by either the guild leader or officers with the correct permissions.

Instructions to link your Guild to a Discord channel on WoW:

Open the Guild & Communities UI with the (J) hotkey.

Select the Roster tab on the right side of the panel.

Select “Guild Settings” on the bottom right of the panel.

Under the Guild Control dropdown select Discord Settings.

In this window you will see all Discord servers you belong to and be able to select the specific channels that have linking permissions available.

Click a server to select it.

Select a linkable channel from the dropdown and click the link.

You can also create a separate Discord chat into its own channel within World of Warcraft.

Chat Between Discord and Your Guild Chat

Once you’re connected, you’re ready to chat. You’ll easily be able to identify when a message has been sent from Discord or sent from within the game and be able to adjust your chat tabs accordingly so you can always keep an eye on what your guild is doing whether you’re in game or out.

If a player hasn’t linked their account to Discord, it will not show in-game messages in the Discord chat and will display as follows:

Guild leaders will have the option to modify settings at any time in the guild Discord settings to filter chat so that Discord traffic goes to a regular /guild chat channel or into a new dedicated guild /discord channel.
