-DISCORD OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT-
Grab your rattle rachets and fill up the balloons — we’re starting the party directly on Discord itself. As a special celebratory measure this weekend, desktop and web users will have a new feature waiting for them: Party Mode.
When Party Mode’s enabled in User Settings > Party Mode tab (you’ll need to opt-in before the party starts!), every character you type will explode with confetti. Crowds will cheer and your typing field will tremble as your Combo meter increases. Yes, we said Combo meter. It’s the most scientific way of measuring Hype ever devised.
Of course, it’s your party too, so you can customize all the details. Going into the Party Mode tab presents you with options to tailor your whole festive experience. And something about… Achievements? You’ll have to check out Party Mode yourself to see what they are.
Want the confetti and not the screen shake? Or much less confetti, but normal screen shake? Or more screen shake? Or EVEN MORE screen shake? Being the party controller means you set the vibe anywhere from “low key” to “borderline unusable,” and there are no wrong answers.
Party Mode is opt-in, so don’t worry — you won’t get jumpscared by confetti this weekend. Plus, if you’ve previously enabled Reduced Motion in the Accessibility Settings, Party Mode will default to a very gently festive experience: screen shake and confetti will be turned off unless you disable Reduced Motion.
