Anyone willing to give a informative review of GSC, Raid Call, and or HLSW Chat.

 

Regard last post. My clan's leader said he had issues with Evolve's overlay being buggy in Windows 7. Right now Razer Comms out of the tested ones seems the most viable since overlay works and it's available on smart phones too. It's owned by the guys who make those gaming mice and keyboards. Should be a well funded project that will not go bell up like Xfire did, well as long as it's popular.

 

Probably would vote for Razer Comms but waiting until GSC, Raid Call and HLSW Chat have been vetted.

This is very hopeful, I would say:

 

"Hi there,

 
Right now we do not allow users to change their usernames (it's a stupid restriction from the previous team who built the system). We are looking into allowing this in Evolve 2.0, which we're working on now. We are also considering allowing an alias that can be changed, but this isn't a top priority.
 
Regards,
 
OODA
Evolve Support"

Like i said in my post . Evolve was caught off guard - there the only ones trying to accomidate the xfire users . It will take some time but i bet it ends up being a similar program. I would imagine right now the shock load has them working 24/7 and funding is a issue. There is no immediate solution but who is going to put the work in is whats being watched.  I'll install it and try to join before i support it but from what i am reading which is often wrong, they have my attention.

I will donate my tin cans on a string. But I reserve the right to kick rugger off the chat at my leisure.

Yes I think it's safe to remove. We are not sure what program we are going to use to replace it with as of now.

I am not removing it as the chats are still on my harddrive to look at. And 24Mb doesn't hurt me :)

LaRSin,

Thank you for taking the time to write and make suggestions for improving Evolve. We're always interested in ways to make our service better. In case you are unaware...We are currently developing an entirely new client experience as showcased on our blog.

Blog link: https://blog.evolvehq.com/2015/05/2015-so-far/

You'll notice a different design featuring a single window and a combined chat and friends list. Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards our beta release.

Happy gaming,
BergSandwich

BUMP

 

I would say that, I am sorry, but the Evolve one is clearly the future proof for now. 

Today, I was like, with the DDos event, missing out to start up XFire to contact duc or Rugger and sending a PM was hardly possible.

 

By that time you don't think and to expect to have them on TS at the time, so you can only email them and wait. As of the latest reply of one of the Devs, I am sure that Evolve meets our new Xfire-style. 

Also, that the main Dev responded to me, says enough that they care(for now).

 

There is nothing out there to replace XFire, seriously.

Good luck with my Nokia 3100 that is over 10 years old and I can TXT and phone, but alarm clock even fails.

I need to beat you in Arma3 soon or else I can't control myself and have to beat you up.

Good Luck with Evolve.They want MONEY ($4.99 a month or $49.99 a year) otherwise you could wait up to 1 Hour in Que if there server is busy.

 

NO THANK YOU!
