Hello, TeamSpeak Boards.
[AWARE of bad English]
I've been following this post since the announcement of TeamSpeak 5 and I have to say I'm disappointed! I myself use TeamSpeak since TS2.
The fact that TeamSpeak implements the development of TeamSpeak 5 in such a timely manner shows that it is clear to the company that Discord is definitely a problem.
Nevertheless, there is a lack of communication and this is currently the downfall for TeamSpeak!
I myself am convinced of TeamSpeak and would like to continue using it or would like to wish the new client as soon as possible. But this whole postponement without statements shows the TeamSpeak has its time behind it!
If TeamSpeak 5 is not in the open beta this year, TeamSpeak will only lose more users, who will not be convinced even in the beta. Let's be honest, all this mess with the Competition and the closed beta win is nonsense!
Discord is at the top and will probably stay in spite of TS5!
The use of TS3 is not a problem in itself, but that the NPL license is no longer awarded is one of the reasons why Discord attracts even more.
I'm sure that TS5 will be something terrific again, but the whole situation speaks against TeamSpeak (communication, statements, missing leaks! - YES WE DAMN WANT SPOILERS!!). You lose so much time and users right now.
I'm not sure that TeamSpeak is even able to fight against Discord. Discord already has all the features that TS5 wants to offer.
The only thing TS has better is the possibility for own servers. But even here the licenses for normal gaming communities are definitely too high, which is probably the reason for projects like TeaSpeak.
But hey, I'm still curious what TS5 offers and hope that there will be something similar to the NPL! I will not pay attention to this board anymore and sometime in 2020 the email for the beta will arrive.
By the way, I'll continue to use TeamSpeak like Discord, Ventrillo and Mumble. But it is a sad that so many TS users split on the different platforms.
To the people crying that they lose community users, stop crying! You always have the opportunity to offer several VoIP services!
Cya.
