Thread: Feature request Linkshell chat

It would be nice to be able to see the Linkshell chat of each linkshell you have much like you can on FFXIV.

For example if you have 3 linkshells you can see the LS chat in all 3. Although you have to equip each one to talk in them.

Please consider adding this feature.

I realy disliked that feature.

That would be awesome.

Hell to the no

If it was up to me, and I realise it isn't but whatever, I'd do away with linkshells in their entirety and replace it with channels. City of Heroes has a good way of dealing with this, allowing you to set up filters and individual chat tabs to talk to your various channels and read what's going on. The whole idea of having to 'equip' a channel was dated even when this idea was first conceived, especially since linkshells are little more than itemized chat rooms.

Players often join multiple linkshells, but to see what's going on in any one of them they have to constantly swap them around. They also have to use up their own inventory space just to equip it! How hard can it really be to set up a channel system that virtually every other MMO has so that players can multi-task a little?

People still type to speak to their LS mates? o.O

Given how afraid the devs were of the yell feature lagging the game up, I'd hate to see what the underlying code for their chat message handling is like.
