Much better than hangouts and way more secure. I use it totally on an android mobile device. I can perform all major features between the app and the browser. The app is desktop biased though. It has WAY more functionality on a pc.
Thanks again @Bear and all who've contributed to this super helpful thread At Plundering 24/7 we're only just starting work on comms outside of game chat so we sure appreciate the tip. Slack looks terrific so far... thx!
Don't forget about our cross faction chat! Just some stats from this week. Your team sent a total of 1,709 messages last week (that's 159 more than the week before). Of those, 32% were in channels, 9% were in groups and 59% were direct messages. Your team also uploaded 49 files (that's 1 fewer than the week before). Come join and trash talk with your rumbles in the #rumbles channel. Discuss strategy and base design in our #strategy channel. Hangout and chat in #general. Oh yeah, or you could join our #catgif channel.. Whatever floats your boat, but sign up!
Just wanted to bump this post. The public slack chat is going great with 200 members! Sign up at http://rov.io/slack
Another shameless bump. The slack chat is still alive and well. If you want to join just sign up at http://rov.io/slack
There are a lot of different line groups and kik groups and GroupMe groups. And a couple of slacks. But this is the original Slack chat and it has the most members and is the most active.
haha. I'm just trying to promote my slack team. I doubt i'll get back involved in the forums too much.
We do keep monitoring submissions and inviting people, although we have to do it manually, so if people are busy it can take a bit for someone to be able to get on and do it. I just added an integration to make it easier on us to invite new members, so hopefully invites happen more speedily in the future. Hopefully you made it in, if not PM me your email and I'll add you myself.
