Define far behind? Discord solves the low latency communication problem for me like 99.99% of the time without any sort of issue. I don't really see how you're claiming it falls far behind if the difference between it and Teamspeak/Mumble/Vent or whatever is so razor thin. I've barely noticed any issues in the past 3 years of Discord, and it was the same with the previous 4 years of Mumble and however many years of Vent and Xfire before that.

  Huh, I don't know if I've ever had server issues with Discord outside of the whole thing going down once or twice in the past couple years. I've heard people complain about it and it's baffling to me. Maybe it's a regional thing, which would be unfortunate, but the USW server work great as far as I can tell and I voice chat on disc almost every night for multiple hours. I also have everything I want hotkeyed, so I still think that "far behind" is a huge stretch at best.

    Our raid group (spread across Europe) has communications break down about 1 in 6/7 raid nights. Its quickly solved by swapping to US East but the latency is not great for our Eastern European players. We used to be able to bounce between Western Europe and Central Europe to avoid problems but discord recently pooled all the european servers claiming it would help solve issues like this, but it hasn't really.

      Similar/same experience here: Friends are in Europe, I'm in SEA / Singapore. We randomly have the robot voice or people cutting out and then start the 'switch region' dance. Which might fix the problem for a while, but messes with the latency quite a bit then.
