Archer and Druid Class Server Discord

[Sarumonin]

With 3.0 coming just around the corner, I wanted to share this little Class Discord for the Archer class that is set to come with that update. It's been available since May 2022, but was waiting until we were closing in order to make the server public. It's just your run-of-the-mill server, similar to that of the Warrior Class server which I helped create and design. So if you've been in that server, this one will feel familiar to you. Druid section has been added for future purposes.
​
If you're interested in joining, here is the server link: https://discord.gg/nyq655ShUQ


I am hoping that, with time, we'll have guides for both Specs from different players in order to share with the community, so that we can continue to grow and help one another out. So, the server is open now and I hope you'll enjoy it!

Does it make much sense to have a discord for a sole class compared to just joining the official SOLO discord?

There is a server for each class, though a lot of them are not very active. However, they remain more centered specific to the class, guides, rotations, etc. rather than SOLO as a whole. The Warrior Discord vs the Warrior text channel on the SOLO Discord is a huge difference. The Discord has guides, optimized rotation and gear for various specs, along with DPS Meter comparisons for helping everyone with their DPS.

Last message on the official discord in the Warrior channel, July 18th, 2022. Last message on the Warrior discord, last week.

As for why it makes sense, it's because Gameforge (and the moderation team itself) is pretty inactive on the official Discord, and they don't provide a lot of the resources in order for each class channel to have their own sections so that we can all grow it and stuff. So, matters ended up being taken into the players' hands, and the community has come up with its own resources to help everyone. Just like we had a SOLO Wiki, though... that fell apart, as the players that owned it seemed to have quit and just abandoned it and shut it down. The same with SOLO-Tools, which had an interactive map where players could see where all the items, resources, etc. were. But that too shut down.

The community may be small, it always has been let's be real, but there's always been groups of players who want to help others and have the community benefit from that help, so that newcomers don't feel left out. Not everyone's like that, but there's quite a few that are.

it does. Black Desert have this also. It's the way to go for class knowledge

Just asking cause the only way that I know of guide centric discords is that they're all in one place.

For FFXIV, there is a discord called "The Balance" and has resources, guides, rotations ect. on every single job, including gatherers and crafters. So it seemed weird to me to split it up to different discords, where it's a bit harder to get info on multiple classes and have discussions with more than one class for, let's say. opener optimization or something.

There was a server at the very beginning called Cloudrise, but unfortunately the owners of that server just randomly shut it down lmao. No one else has been wanting to do it, since it's all separated now. I considered making it myself but just don't have enough time to coordinate and make it happen.

I'd argue that centralized information is easier to come by than decentralized information, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

I'd find it more troublesome monitoring multiple discords compared to multiple channels.

I mean, argue it all you want. Unfortunately, the only centralized server that we had for all classes (Cloudrise) disappeared and no one else wanted to remake it, so each class got their own discord made by different people. And the official Discord has barely any resources to support a full fledged class area 🤷‍♂️

It is what it is. Been this way since 2021.

By the way, if anyone else happens to be reading this: We will be working with RipSoul with his DPS Parse Discord for the community spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cXLW1DCNN0qD5kv3PARSmSXkTm-q7iBMdqWUdpMv-sY/htmlview) when the Archer releases. This should help in seeing where each class is, balance-wise, in the most optimized of settings.

Currently we have a handful of players in the Discord, some of whom have played the CN or TW version and can offer some advice on the class. I've uploaded each Archer skill icon for ease of explaining a combination of skills or opener, or what have you. So, the door's open for anyone interested in the upcoming Archer class! 😌

Any help with the new class should be grateful, I love it. But Steam had blocked that link and said it is not safe ??? (https://bit.ly/3N3SCj6)

I hope the Archer class will bring more players to the game, these days even my guild is not as active as it used to be and it is one of the most active guild out there on PVE. They do need more advertisings for this game. Every mmorpg games out there loose players everyday but if new players keep coming then there will be no problem.
