Chat improvement (Clan about)
Maybe we can have a chat for the clan inside the game, like some MMORPG have, some people doesn't know about the forum existence, and who knows sometimes don't know that a war is on for example.
I don't think it's so much hard to make multiple chat, like a whisper, but for the whole clan, like an auto connect chat.

I think its useful as hell, it's inside the game you know;
War happening - UndeadChat: War happening now, /jo undead everyone
Only clan chat

These things we got in already all games out there

And its not all the world using discord, remember this

I think it might be somewhat useful, but not worth the hassle due to discord and the likes, as ken54 said.
Discord yeah

BUT in my opinion it is always better when the game doesn't need an third part software, because not everyone want to/or can use those softwares

Sounds neat actually, i imagine that there would be a new tab on the ingame chat like whenever you whisper someone.

Doesn't sound super difficult to implement and not all clans will have a discord or be in a "clan chat" together - it would also be more convenient to most users than discord because you wouldn't have to tab in and out
Don't dm me pictures of bowls that you find attractive.
A new tab like how whisper work and/or command to know clan members that are ingame.

If it just that, i imagine that wouldn't be too hard to be implement.

/edit: Oh apparently, it is not that easy as i thought.

TL;DR version of that discussion:
Clan chat can't be made same way as regular room / matchmake chat primarily because that'd require a separate port for every single clan.
It can be done as a way to post general clan announcements about wars and whatnot though - store message to forum db, then refresh about once a minute. Obviously, there's going to be a delay between message submitting and chat refreshing and that won't be enough to actually chat but good when you need to notify all online members about a war / tournament.

Begs questions why another protocol wasn't used in the first place. Maybe a IRC like implementation could/would be viable for TB2.0 atleast?
Now doing recoloring for people not in the clan as-well, PM for more info!
