After fiddling around with discord we have managed to use the roles for a different useful purpose. To describe it simply: you can now subscribe to specific notifications on discord.


We create a role, let's say "Overwatch", and add you to it. Discord has a feature where you can @Role, for this example, @Overwatch, to notify everyone in that role. So everytime we have something important to share related to overwatch, we would tag @Overwatch, tagging everyone who joined the role, or subscribed to the notifications.


It would be limited to only important info like a heavy new update for a game, a new episode for a show or a new development in some sort of proccess.


Well, anyone. If you cook up some kind of interesting thing a bunch of people want to follow and subscribe to, just ask the admins to make a role for it, and you can choose what tagging that includes and who is allowed to use the tag.


More information about individual roles will appear on here

If you haven't heard, Overwatch[www.playoverwatch.com] is having an open beta on May 5th - May 9th.


Open beta is basically having the game be open to anyone for a limited period of time for free. You don't need to buy the game to have access to open beta.


If you haven't been following Overwatch, it is considered to be a pretty good game and maybe even a Team Fortress 2 competitor. It currently costs around 40 dollars to buy the game, so not a lot are interested in buying it. Which is why we are making an Overwatch event to really see if it's worth purchasing. And hey, if you already decided you wish to buy it, this might be your chance to find people to play with!


Before anything else, we highly suggest you get Discord[discordapp.com], a program we use for communicating in and outside of games. It's like skype and teamspeak/mumble combined, but has free servers.

For joining our discord server, information can be found here.

Then you would require to download Battlenet[www.battle.net] to be able to download Overwatch. This is a tool similar to Steam but way smaller, we will explain how to use it more in-depth once you are in our discord server. And of course, you will need to download Overwatch off the program.


Well how about you tell us! Write down in the comments if you are joining the event, and we will be able to notify you of the event personally when it happens.
