Battle.net Client Datamined - Groups Feature Coming
Our friends over at MMO-Champion have discovered data pointing to a groups feature for the Battle.net client.
- It looks like you will be able to create groups and channels to organize your chats.
- Groups will have access to roles and permissions.
- You will be able to change your avatar to a client preset.
- Blizzard appears to have their own set of groups users will be able to join.
It looks like the Battle.net client is going to be competing with the Twitch Desktop App and Discord. Would you use it? If not, what features would it need in order for you to use it?

TRIGGERED
as usual, Blizzard tries to join in an existing application that's been developed for years, only to hope to share it's glory. Well, it worked with Hearthstone, but how is the rest doing?
If they are trying to compete against Discord and Twitch, they have a big aim. Discord is by now well established as it is now holding a big market share when it comes to voice and chat, with only Skype really still holding on (I haven't heard anyone using Teamspeak, Mumble, Raidcall or Ventrilo anymore) and Twitch has beaten everyone for years now. Even YouTube tried the live streaming platform and they already had a massive market, but Twitch still wins there.
So, this feature will never see use but for a niche group that does not know about already existing applications that already do a better job than what Blizzard will provide.
HELLO! HELLO! HELL-Ohhh!
I call the Chicken Group Icon (TM)
And with that...
Let's start getting some of those icons onto Hearthcards as custom expansion symbols!
Interesting features. They could expand on the battle.net client a lot like they did with the streaminf feature. I like that they move on this direction.
Nice feature with several good graphics.
But I would really prefer if Hearthstone could sperate data and executable for balance changes without a big patch. There are smaller Dev-Teams that got this done ;-)
Sweet, I can fill it with all my lifelong friends like Mr Poopy Butthole, Uncle Steve, Cousin Nicky, Mr Beauregard, Frankenstein's Monster, Sleepy Gary, and of course Pencilvester.
:O
Wait... there's a tenth hearthstone class under the group icons?
You mean Demon Hunter, or Monk?
HS classes are based on WoW classes. Some classes from WoW didn't make it in HS and there's no talk of adding the missing ones. Sorry to disappoint :)
Hovno!
A possible attempt to combat Discord? At least that's what it looks like. Discord integrated into the Blizzard client.
Lol just read the description at the top. Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
Integration in HS’s mobile client, otherwise I’ll only use it when playing starcraft, which means not many times.
Now, can I kill someone? Because I just rolled down for the comments, what's going on here?
wow, Kripp will have his own avatar
And I have a new one :DD sorry but I had an error when I wanted to edit a post
Nah, not enough salt!
